Timelies all!

It's too cold here for my taste.

Oh my goodness. My ex-of-sorts, who I visited shortly before breaking my ankle (she lives in Toronto) just broke HER ankle!! Not as badly as I did but still! She'll be in a cast for six weeks. I'm like damn, that is not the way to be cool like me! (Or like Zen, who started the trend?)

But didn't Zen fall into a volcano or something? Frankly, both you and ex-of-sorts need to step it up a notch.

It's too cold here for my taste.

I'm bundled up like Nanook of the North, and I'm *inside*. LAURA, CAN I COME LIVE WITH YOU?!

A person I have never met (have talked on phone and texted) is bringing her foster dog to me tomorrow. She is moving and cannot keep her. No idea if the two fosters will get along (initially they will not because my foster does not initially get on with anyone), but she had a hard deadline that she had to find a home and they reached out to me.

Anyway - she is driving 5 hours to get me the dog and so I am having her stay the night - already saying we will get some take out food and have dinner in the living room together monitoring doggie intros.

All good - I think it is a solid plan. My house needs cleaning. I've started on my bathroom and I have washed half the dishes and swept the kitchen floor. I will ask mac to help out by vacuuming the hall and bedroom, but it's mac so who knows. I need to finish dishes, vacuum area rug, mop kitchen, sweep and mop bathroom, and get the covers back on furniture. Doable, but will it get done????

stay tuned.

Come live with me freezing Buffistas!

We just went out to eat at an outdoor restaurant bundled like typical Floridians. He in jacket and shorts and me in long sleeve shirt, jacket, and sandals. We knew it would be easy to get a table because of the record cold tonight. It was 62. It should be back to normal tomorrow. It was funny because you could tell the tourists from the locals by the scantily clad vs bundled patrons.

and posting about it solves the problem. The foster that was coming here hurt herself today and had to get stitches, so she is postponing the transfer a couple of weeks and she is staying with her parents. (I am greedily hoping that the parents realize that they can manage having this foster dog with them and the transfer will be called off).

Bottom line, I do not have to get everything cleaned. Still gonna vacuum though,

Phew, msbelle!

I am feeling very virtuous because after work, I went to yoga and then church.

Wow, Jesse! Impressive virtue.

I just got to experience that great joy when you are counting calories when you have worked out the calories for a dish, but then actually use less than you planned. Oh yeah I saved the calories of 1/8 of a cup of pasta sauce!!!!

Oh the joys of measuring every. single. thing.

Woo msbelle! Sorry about the lady getting hurt, but yay for the reprieve.

That is quite virtuous, Jesse.

My moment of virtue today was not having wine when out to dinner. I've been giving up the things on my nutritionist's hate list one at a time. I gave up coffee a couple weeks ago. Now I have given up wine. Next is cheese so I am weaning there a bit. It won't be forever, just until I get my metabolism right.
