Day 3

So, can't seem to use a phone app to write these.  Oh, well.

This morning was a disappointing weigh-in... 180.4.  UP.  But I remember from yesterday that I ate a banana and had 10 Pringles -- so there's 200 calories I didn't need... Is that really enough to go UP?  Also, no 💩 yesterday.  So, there's that.  Whatever! 

Because I wasn't at work today, there wasn't that CONSTANT need to eat.  In fact, for this and that reason, I didn't eat ANYTHING until after noon, when I ate a 200 calorie Picky Bar.  And nothing after that!

At supper, I noticed that I have to eat while preparing food because now I'm thinking about FOOD and I want it NOW -- instant gratification, right?!  Also, I went to the grocery store for a few ingredients for supper and I can't leave without SOMETHING.  So I bought a box of Lorna Doones.  The great thing is they come in packages inside the box.  One package = 140 calories.

So while I made supper, one package of Lorna Doones.  Then, supper was a very virtuous pita bread (90 calories) with hummus and lettuce.  And I stopped at one of those knowing that I was going to eat a piece of cake later at church.  Which I did.  ONE piece.  Totally worth it.

A tiny bit of 💩 today.  And not nearly enough water.  

In other news, Khione had chemo today and her bloodwork allowed it.  The discharge report said she was still in complete remission.  She has two weeks off before her next treatment!

Obligatory photo, just because:

I went to work briefly to get a report for my colleague in Australia, so took a quiet minute to write this there.  Now I need to go home and do a quick thing for the BMD club which I said I'd do this afternoon, but I didn't have the headspace to do it then.  I took a caffeine pill at 7 PM so I have the headspace NOW... No worries, it'll wear off!  I needed to be awake at 7 so I could listen to a talk attentively, AND drive through the darkened streets of Lynn to pick up G and then home again.  I do NOT like city streets in the dark.  

OH, one of the best parts of today was that someone who I know is far away and actually institutionalized at the moment and so I totally understand WHY I don't hear from them, when I sent a spontaneous, throwaway text, suddenly responded and we had a whole conversation.  That made my entire month, that did.
