Not Quite So Big Breakfast
Kayla made breakfast this morning. Besides the cost of eggs making a four-egg omelette extravagant, Ozempic really does suppress my appetite. So she made a smaller Big Breakfast, with about half of what we typically have had when we made our own.

Tumbling Along
This morning, just before dawn, I went out to work on the accumulation of tumbleweeds on our fences that blew in during the storms we've been having: gale force winds but no rain.

Still Too Long
It turns out that I didn't measure things properly when I bought that new belt yesterday. It's still too long! Not nearly as over-length as the last one, but I'm already on the last hole with no room left. I'm going to have to ask Lisa to drill more holes in it already ( Read more... ) -
A Good Problem to Have
I've been losing weight fairly steadily for a while now. A long time ago, I ran out of holes on my belt. Lisa drilled more holes in the belt, multiple times. Today, I decided that enough was enough, as I'd run out of holes again. I went down to Big R and bought the same style of belt, size 42. The old belt was some six inches longer than that ( Read more... ) -
Take Cover
We're getting gale-force winds (50 mph / 80 kph / 43 kts) here, and the lights have been flickering and the internet cutting in and out. The computers are behind a UPS, but the internet connection requires utility power. Fortunately, the fireplace still works even if the power fails. Also, temperatures are much warmer than they were a week ago. And ( Read more... ) -
Blowing Away
Lisa continues to be on a day-sleeping schedule. She let me know yesterday that she wanted to go grocery shopping in Reno overnight, so I set the alarm for 2 AM (and managed about five hours of sleep), and shortly after 2:30 we set out for Reno ( Read more... ) -
Phone Back Online -- But Without an Address Book
I retraced all of my and Kayla's steps from yesterday, and searched the minivan, but no phone showed up. I have a feeling that the pouch in which it was traveling fell off of Kayla's purse somewhere and someone decided to keep it. So this afternoon I went over to the local Verizon store to see what could be done. Ironically, there was about $3.50 ( Read more... ) -
Phone Follies
My beloved twin sister, who I love as if she was me, managed to lose my mobile phone sometime this afternoon when she took it with her on her errands to Reno/Sparks. I've put a temporary hold on the number and will go over to the Verizon Wireless store tomorrow to see if I can get a replacement. It's only a flip phone, so with luck it shouldn't be ( Read more... ) -
Unwanted Small World
I learned this afternoon that I am only one person away (via multiple people) from one of the people who was on board the American Eagle aircraft that crashed in the Potomac River last night after a collision with a military helicopter. I did not know him, but Lisa did, an she had had meals with him. It's not my place to say more at this time, but ( Read more... ) -
Hair
Some months ago, Lisa suggested that she would like me with longer hair, so I started letting it grow. There was a false start when I went to a local barber asking to have the split ends trimmed and he ended up hacking it back short again, but I started over. What I didn't expect was that I'd end up with a bunch of mousy-gray-black hair that I did ( Read more... )
