Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Looks like another cool day with no chance of precipitation. 35 now but the expected high is 60. I need to get out to the grocery for a few things...maybe. 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.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! I just gave Lilo her Tuesday shot (and treats) and she is in my lap, giving my left arm a bath. Another pleasant day here as I continue to wait on my new glasses. I hope they get here before Thanksgiving.
Blood glucose levels are still looking mostly great and clothes are still feeling loose so I think all is going well in than regard.

Hi all!
Congrats on the weight lost and good glucose levels, Ed. Just in time for the holidays!
Irene, glad they are moving along on your generator. It will be so nice not to worry about power outages. Sorry you're not happy with your hair color. I'm going tomorrow to get mine touched up and maybe a trim. I'm pretty happy with my new hairdresser.
Hi Jo, Jan, and Val. Hope you're all not working too hard.
I'm going to start my Thanksgiving prep and last minute house cleaning tomorrow. Went to stained glass class and clay workgroup today, and then for a dietitian visit. The weather was gorgeous today, but didn't get out much to enjoy it. Oh well.
Have a good night, sleep well, and rest up for the holiday! 🦃🍗🥧🍹1 -
Hi everyone!!
Ed, great job on weight loss and your levels! Irene, sorry you don't like your highlights. Sometimes it is hard to get right. Jo wish I had your energy!! Vix, I have to clean too. Luckily going to my son's so I am just making rolls and dessert. Hi Val! Hope things are going well traveling! Hope everyone is ready to enjoy Thanksgiving..It is sure my favorite holiday!
It is like summer here. We are expecting a little rain tonite and some tomorrow. Crazy weather! Then it will be freezing again within the week!
Take care all! Be safe!!0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wet wonderful Wednesday! A bit warmer today with morning rain. I need to get out to the grocery and I am still waiting for my new glasses! I may call the optician this afternoon to inquire, if he hasn't called by then, or go to a different Kroger than my usual one and just stop by to inquire.

Good morning.
Aw, Ed, hope you get your new glasses soon.
Jan, so nice that you're going to your son's for Thanksgiving! It's my favorite holiday too, but I love the Thanksgiving cooking. My son is making the marinated salad this year and my daughter is bringing gluten free mac and cheese. I'll be making the cranberry sauce, pumpkin cheesecake and corn bread for the stuffing today. And will put the turkey in the oven tomorrow morning , and get everything else put together and in the oven. Luckily I have 2 ovens!
Anyone have a favorite holiday drink they want to share?
I have a hairdresser appt at 2:30 today.
It's kind of warm here today too, in the 40s with a high of 60 expected. Yesterday was gorgeous weather. It's only supposed to go to 48 tomorrow and be kind of cloudy and windy.
I guess it'll be cozy inside.
Hi Jo, Irene, and Val.
Happy Day before Thanksgiving!🦃1 -

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.

Good morning all.
That was yesterday!
Took a nice hot soak this morning. Still achy, but a little better. No special plans for today, not shopping, maybe get on the elliptical for a little bit. Happy Friday, everyone. Good luck to the shoppers, hope no one has to work, and can relax. 🦊1 -

Good morning;
Sounds like everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Of course, I ate way too much. I did go for a 3 mile walk after dinner with my daughter.
I worked yesterday, so no shopping for me. I may brave a few stores today. I only have my hubby and daughter to buy for. I send my son money. He won't be home this year for Christmas, but maybe next year.
Have a great day! 1
