Once again, things have been so busy that there just hasn't been a lot of time to update my journal.  One of the biggest problems is that the connection from the farmhouse is flakey at the best of times, and by the time I get home at "sometime after midnight" I'm really not in the mood to deal with that.  So my updates are often left until ( Read more... )

     I didn't post last week's weight-watch update, since trixstir  and I were in Calgary at the time and I didn't have access to my scale.  Returning from the city though, I noticed that I had gained a couple of pounds.  Literally, about two pounds.  Pretty impressive actually, given the visiting and subsequent over-indulgence of glorious munchings ( Read more... )
