    Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! We did get a decent amount of rain yesterday and overnight. Today is supposed to be cool, with no chance of precipitation. My local bank was recently devoured by another bank, and I think I have worked out all the kinks following the transition. I have scheduled my last test of that for overnight tonight, but anticipate no problem with it.

    I might get out to Kroger today for a few things, and may pick up lunch if so, while out. And I need to get some of Mike's tomato gravy with pork started in a slow cooker! I think it would go nicely over a small serving of pasta.

    And, of course, I need to feed these POOR, STARVING CATS that are clearly not exactly wasting away but you can't convince them of that. LOL.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday. We are scheduled to do the photography (if any is needed) at today's South East regional orchid judging. It's pretty cold this morning, and only supposed to hit the mid 50s today. We have no idea how many orchid plants will actually show up, much less whether any will be awarded. Of course that is always true but better weather brings more people with plants. On the other hand, cooler weather can bring DIFFERENT plants. If none are awarded, then no photography is required, though we may shoot some plants we find interesting.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! Another nice day looming, with no chance of rain. Not much on the agenda today, though I COULD get out for cat food and a couple of things. Or I could wait. Isn't that nice? LOL.

    We had a new outside visitor this morning. I haven't seen this one before but love the white tip on the tail. None of our cats saw this one, so there was no immediate consternation regarding its presence.

    Howdy all y"all. It's magnificent Monday! It looks like it should be another pleasant day. I do plan to get out to Kroger, and get some laundry done.

    Orion has claimed my lap and my left hand, so typing is fun at the moment.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!

    Cool and wet out there now with temperatures expected to plummet later tonight. I might get out late this morning or this afternoon, to pick up those few items I didn't get yesterday.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! I've actually been up since about 5:30 this morning, but distracted by this, that, and the other. I have been out to Aldi and picked up some nice, hearty, seasonal soups from Europe, along with some chunky soups more like the Campbell's brand. And of course I picked up a bunch of other stuff too.

    I have some beef going in a slow cooker that may end up being beef with noodles, or, possibly, if I add some potatoes, peas, and carrots later, some kind of beef stew or soup. We will see later what it ends up as.

    Now it's time to go in the kitchen and figure out lunch.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Another cold morning, with an expected high of 45 and we have 20% chance of precipitation today. I need to get out to the post office today to drop off a small package, but don't think I need to go anywhere else today. Lunch will probably be soup or stew. I tend to eat a lot more of that sort of thing in
    cooler weather.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! Not as cold, but 90% chance of rain. I don't think I need to go anywhere tonight, but a nap would be lovely since I didn't get one yesterday, and got up early today to boot. Might get a little housecleaning done. I started on the vacuuming yesterday.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! Looks like it will be a nice day. I may get out for a few things. I bought some frozen pancakes at Aldi. If I eat them with plenty of protein on the side a serving of three makes a nice treat for me at breakfast. I often don't have any syrup on them, saving that option for when I have earned a MAJOR treat. I remember the old NS dry pancake mix that people converted into all sorts of yummy muffins, cookies, etc. I even developed a recipe for breakfast Snickerdoodles from that mix! I was sad when they discontinued it.

    When I take an after breakfast reading, I'll see what impact three, small, no syrup pancakes have, along with eggs and sausage. Blood glucose readings have been looking really good the last several days. I have been keeping a slightly closer watch on what I eat, and since starting up with OnDuo I have a coach who is much more available. We can leave messages in the app and he (or she - there are two but only one has communicated with me so far) can help me set realistic goals. Unfortunately I am still the one who has to try to meet those goals. I always get the difficult part! But having frequent (at least weekly) contact with the team will help to keep me on track, I hope.

    Much to my surprise, my insurance plan is not only paying for the OnDuo/TelCare membership, but sent several mailers suggesting it, and letting me know that it was fully covered! I don't know how long that will be paid for but I want to get the best out of it while I can. I am sure that my local endocrinologist will be pleased about this when I see him next, in January.

    Might not. LOL. But I do plan to cook the Italian sausage links I thawed out. Probably lunch and dinner today, and maybe breakfast tomorrow too.

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Optometrist appointment today for my annual vision check. I just had my annual diabetic eye health exam recently. My doctor in Memphis combined them into one visit, but the place here wants the ophthalmologist to do the medical exam and the optometrist to do the vision check. They are billed to different insurance, so I guess that's not really unreasonable...

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! I have been up for hours, but distracted by all the usual stuff.

    I may get out to the grocery today if I can get past all the construction work. They have resumed sidewalk construction on our street.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! It should be a pretty nice day, with no chance of precipitation. I might get a little housework done today. And cook that random package of fish that I pulled out of the freezer last night. It's either perch or catfish, but I didn't even look to see when I pulled it out. LOL. As there are a couple of largish pieces of whatever it is, it may be lunch AND dinner. We'll see I guess.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! It looks like it will be a nice day today, with fairly cool/cold temperatures and no chance of precipitation. Today I will try to make up for the nap I didn't get yesterday. Aside from that it was a pretty good day. The rain stopped late in the afternoon and it became a pleasant, though gusty, evening. We went to Lowe's to get some storage crates, and then stopped at a BanglaDeshi (like Indian but not quite the same) restaurant on the way back for a tasty supper that was definitely not fast food! Fortunately the appetizer was fairly prompt, so after splitting that we didn't exactly feel starved while waiting for the main meal.

    On a whim, got an the scale this morning and saw 199.3. I know that weight fluctuates and that if I were to check tomorrow, it might not still be on the right side of 200, but all the same...

    WOO HOO!

    I know Jack and Jenn give dogs little bites of this and that on T-Day.

    Their canned cat food alternates between chicken and turkey anyway. I do see to it that turkey falls on Thanksgiving. Lilo, on the other hand, eats special food for older cats and it doesn't seem to come in a turkey flavor. She doesn't care for the chicken and giblets flavor. This year's turkey is Cajun spiced so she won't be getting any of that either. The young cats aren't really interested much in human people food. Lilo can have a little bit of the ham and a taste of whipped topping.

    Tom still eats cheese on occasion, rarely will eat kibble, and prefers 'Flaked' wet food. Who knows why??? Before Whole Food bought out Harry's Farmers Market, which was maybe 3 miles from home, I'd sometimes get fish trimmings...cook them, and put them out for the very happy cats! (that was back when I had 5of them)...


    Well, the younger girls do sometimes like cheese sauce, if I am making mac and cheese, and Lilo is a CHEESE FIEND, especially loving Mozzarella, sharp Cheddar, and sometimes American, and, of course wants to evaluate the cheese sauce...sometimes eating it, and sometimes not. But at her age, she is often in odd food moods.

    Lilo loves chicken, bacon, ham, but other pork not so much, turkey, and beef, occasionally lamb, but not if it has rosemary seasoning...and tuna. She and Kiara share (well, Kiara manages to get a little...) the water from the tuna can when I eat any and have drained the water off.

Nothing has gone critical, but if my new glasses are ready then I might stop at Kroger while I am out. Or I could just go to Kroger anyway.

    Blood glucose levels are still looking mostly great and clothes are still feeling loose so I think all is going well in than regard.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Happy Thanksgiving! It's officially the start of the over a month long end of year holiday season. Decorations! Parades! Parties! (Taste everything. Eat nothing.)

    And holiday movies...

    So which review is it for Rudolph?

    Fiendish fat man and his malicious minions bully and harass youngsters who happen to be "different", until the youngsters flee, only to find they can't even be accepted by others who are "different" unless they can provide a service to those others. Along the way, they are almost killed by a misunderstood monster who just wants to be loved and can't help it that his hunger makes him do terrible things. In the end, the misfits manage to perform services that endear them to everyone...for the moment, but how long can it last until the hatred resurfaces?

    OR

    Delightful tale of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, showing how love and perseverance can overcome just about any adversity, including intolerance and bigotry, as Rudolph saves Christmas and everyone learns that being different is not such a bad thing after all.

    Howdy all y'all. It's Black Friday! Did I eat too much? Oh, yes...but it's only once a year and the dietician at my endocrinology office, several years ago, told us to let it go (within reason) for Thanksgiving, as it's only once a year. I agree. Otherwise I'd just feel deprived, hungry, hurt, and maybe even a little bit angry and depressed, that everyone else is enjoying all that great food but NOT ME.

    Of course "within reason" is rather subjective...I didn't eat the WHOLE PECAN PIE, but, before the day was over, I did have a small sliver. I ate too much dressing/stuffing, too many rolls, and some potato salad and dessert that I really did not need. Too much meat too, but that doesn't spike my blood glucose levels. Half a bottle of nouveau wine helped take the edge off the carbs, a little, and went well with the meal.

    The Thanksgiving feast this year (*** means I made it myself):

    Stuffed eggs*** (eaten as appetizer)
    Sliced ham
    Sliced Cajun seasoned turkey
    Cornbread dressing with turkey sausage
    Brown turkey gravy for the dressing
    Potato salad***
    French green peas***
    Vegetarian light bread dressing
    Corn
    Parker House rolls
    Cranberry orange relish***

    Pumpkin Mousse Cup
    Pecan pie and whipped topping were also available but we decided to forego that until later. That was a near bedtime extra dessert.

    Wine of choice: Trader Joe's Charles Shaw Nouveau, chilled.

    I also had a tall glass of stevia sweetened iced tea.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! And...there is a post-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving party tonight. Just what I need. I haven't even finished with all my Thanksgiving leftovers yet, though I have made a significant dent in them. I am bringing a small casserole of broccoli au gratin that I bought at the grocery. It just occured to me that I could also make a noodle casserole, using most (or all) the remaining leftover turkey and/or ham...hmmm. Something to ponder as I drink my morning tea. I would be bringing a vegetarian dish, in the broccoli casserole, regardless.

    But I generally like to have just about enough Thanksgiving leftovers to see me through most of the meals during the weekend so I can have a really lazy weekend and not cook much. So I may save the turkey and ham for that, and then, if any is still left, make that noodle casserole (smaller) for me to eat in the first part of the week.

    It's hard to believe that today is the last day of November! Tomorrow I open the first panel in my Advent wine calendar, to see what kind of wine I will be drinking with dinner for the first night of December. It has 24 small bottles of wine, each just about right for one person. I guess a couple could share and each have a pretty small glass of wine, if desired. Luckily(?) I am married to a non-wine drinker! I get the wine all to myself. J has been known to, very rarely, sip a little sweet (blech!) wine, but I am really the wino...er wine drinker in this household, and prefer dry wines, especially reds. If I encounter a bottle of sweet (blech!) wine in the calendar and am not home alone that night, J might get some wine.

    OK, I can take a little sweet (blech!) wine on occasion, but not very much as, then, it will spike my blood glucose and give me a headache unless accompanied by a decent amount of protein and fat, in a meal, and still limit that wine to a small glass or, at most, two small glasses. They can be combined into one medium glass I suppose.

    I will have to open the compartments on the morning of each corresponding day, to see if the wine for the day needs to be chilled or can be served at room temperature. If it needs to be chilled, I can just pop it into the refrigerator for the day. If not, I will set in on the counter as an inspiration for dinner.

    Any glass with wine in it is a wine glass.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! It's 62 with an expected high of 62 and 10% chance of precipitation. The temperature will start plummeting this afternoon though.

    The wine calendar begins TODAY! Tonight's wine is now in the refrigerator, as it needs to be chilled.

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Cool today but not too terrible. I may get out to buy some groceries.

    Tonight's day 2 wine calendar selection is from Australia. It should go nicely with my dinner.

    I actually had chicken that was green once, at an Indian lunch buffet in Memphis. I liked it, but it must not have been very popular. I never saw it on the buffet after that. I know that the young lady I was with, who generally orders a chicken dish at Indian restaurants, wouldn't even try it. She couldn't get past the color. It didn't sport any of the bright green leaves that appear to be all over the chicken in the preview for this video, so I don't know if I have tried THIS green chicken or not.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! I woke up at 6:00. I got the call (finally!) late yesterday afternoon that my new glasses are ready so I will go and pick those up later this morning. While I am out, I guess I will do the needed grocery shopping and make sure I have plenty to last until the weekend.

    They are scheduled to pour a new driveway on Thursday and I won't be able to use it until Saturday, at the earliest. I COULD park across the street before they pour it, but I think I can handle a couple of days without the use of my vehicle. In a pinch, Walgreen's, Aldi, Publix, and Target are all within walking distance.

    Today's day 3 wine calendar entry is from Italy. As it should be served chilled, it is residing in the refrigerator now, until dinner time.
