Better

[days_unfolding]

Woke up at 8 AM feeling better so far. I had a cat (Zara) on my shoulders. Then she started circling me, which is Zara body language for "feed me," so I did.

Got to remember to pay for the Italian class. (Done.) And get up on time for it tomorrow.

I'm looking at purses on Mercari, but not seeing anything that I like. I like big purses with lots

If you're seriously considering keto, or any other low-carb option, I would HIGHLY recommend that for at least a week before you start, you track how many carbs you consume daily currently. I didn't think I ate that many carbs when I did my first low-carb thing about 6 years ago, and when decided to test that by tracking my normal daily eating habits and wow -- I was rather stunned by how high my carb count actually was. Keto requires you to cut down to about 20g/carbs per day, and most people likely exceed that just with breakfast. Also, you need to track net carbs, not total carbs (you subtract the carbs from fibre from the total carbs, and that gives you the net carbs). Also, keto doesn't need to be expensive. My grocery bill hasn't really changed with me doing keto.

Thanks! I generally eat a high-carb diet, so this is going to be tough.

Should also mention, just because something says it's low-carb (e.g. ice cream), that might still make it way too high in carbs if your daily goal is about 20g. It just means that it's lower carb than the regular product. At the outset of the pandemic, we were using Good Food meal kits, and their "low carb" option was about about 30g per serving -- which was over my daily total so not at all useful (I had started to regain weight when we switched to them, so we stopped using them after about 3 weeks).

Hope your mum will be okay.

Thanks! The doctor seemed very positive about it.
