It’s been a long day. The power never did go off and stay off but the lights blinked a few times this morning. I’m sure that the people in the Superdome in New Orleans would gladly take a few blinking lights in exchange for what they are having to endure. It’s such a terrible situation […]

I got up on time but I didn’t do any exercising except for vision therapy. I did do some squats and wall pushups off and on throughout the day. Breakfast was a peach and blueberries with agave nectar and a banana smoothie. Katrina made for cloudy day but it hadn’t started raining so I had […]

I didn’t sleep well a’tall last night. I’d taken a melatonin after I’d been in bed for awhile but that didn’t put me out. I finally got up and soaked in a tub of hot water. When I dried off, I put some Melaleuca Pain-A-Trate on my chest, nose, and upper lip. It burned my […]

I had two cups of my niece’s concoction and ate supper. Since I’ve seen all the Tom Selleck Magnum P.I. DVDs, I had a date with Tony Shalhoub tonight. It was Mr. Monk and the Red Herring. I think. Anyway, it was good. Supper was a mango and a banana smoothie. I figured I’d eat […]

I woke up with a scratchy throat this morning. I didn’t want to go to church reeking of garlic so I decided I would wait until I got home to do my niece’s “cure”. It’s garlic lemonade made with a fresh pressed clove of garlic, boiling water to steep the garlic, lemon juice, and honey […]

Nine weeks today! I more or less behaved myself today. Foodwise, that is. I started out the day with a large mango chunked up in a bowl and followed it with a banana/peach smoothie. I had to take it with me and finish it on the way to work. I’d gotten up early enough to […]

As the family saying goes, I have done it bad every bad. I started out my day the way I should with a plum and a large banana/mango smoothie. The mango I took to work was tempting so I had a little bowl full of it. I had my watermelon break mid-morning, and had to […]

Today is my two month anniversary! Happy anniversary to me, Happy anniversary to me! Happy anniversary to me-eeeee! Happy anniversary to me! And Minnie Moore! (She gets in on all the celebrations.) Breakfast was a plum, a kiwi, and a five banana/half cup blueberries smoothie. I drank part of it before I left for work […]

The Lost have been Found! My niece just called and left a message. My sister and BIL arrived at their son’s place just a few minutes ago. They’d gotten separated and then couldn’t find the place where they were to turn in the truck. I hear it was a nightmare. That is what I would […]

I was about to give this up. I’d tried to access “Create” several times only to have it come up empty. I had a plum, two peaches with agave nectar, and a banana smoothie. My calorie count is around 1300 with 10% fat and 7% protein. My niece just called. No one has heard from […]
