It's arrived!!!! Can't switch it on for a few hours, but it looks lovely. The really nice delivery guys took ages trying to stop it wobbling with the adjustable feet, but it's still a bit uneven. Of course there is nothing in it so it might settle with weight.

I love it Heather! I have a similar one in counter depth. Crazy that I had to pay $1000 more to get a smaller frig, but I couldn't have the regular stock depth sticking out beyond my countertop in my small kitchen. Yours look like the perfect fit. I love stainless as long as it is the no fingerprint finish.2

Heather: Congratulations on your new refrigerator!!!

Annie Those underwires are torture even for small-breasted like me. Good luck and being comfortable is the main thing even over how you look. Nothing worse than having the perfect date, but you cannot wait for it to end so you can get your bra off.1

Faye: In more adventurous days in years past we took our boat through the Cascade locks at Bonneville Dam. We stayed in the town of Cascade Locks for a few days and then came back downstream. It was a memorable experience. :flowerforyou: Your home is beautiful. :bigsmile
KJ: In years long-ago we went to a musical concert at the University of Oregon. We heard Simon and Garfunkel, and also Abba. Abba was awesome. Paul Simon was also awesome & carried his portion of the show. Art G was not his best self. He may have had a cold, and definitely had a bad attitude. I enjoyed Abba and Paul Simon.
Machka: I admire your stamina.
Things on my mind:
Last night I watched a football game on TV. The bleachers were empty and they used canned crowd noise. It was weird hearing the nonexistent crowd cheering for a touchdown. I suspect the pro football season isn't going to be a high point for me. I'll watch my Oregon Ducks if I can, even without a live audience.
Air quality is good in my town this morning. It measured 19 AQI and that is considered good. Three cheers for oxygen!!!
DH needs a haircut. So far he hasn't been able to reach the beauty shop. We will call a few more times and hope to reach someone. Otherwise I might be the barber and I am NOT trained to cut hair.

Afternoon ladies
I went down to the Moultonborough General Store it has been there for darn near ages.. they have penny candy (which of course is not a penny anymore)
Big huge dill pickles in a jar and all sorts of neat stuff... i went down for about 1/2 hr and looked around and got a few things. Now back and relaxing for a bit... it is beautiful up here ,chilly but beautiful .3 -
Shea butter sugar scrub is so uplifting! It is coconut and lime. So I am a fruity drink! Tonight I shall rub myself down with coconut oil, during the night I soak it all up, and by morning voila! Soft skin. The scrub really makes your knees, elbows and feet soft too.
My kitchen counter looks like a breakfast bar at a hotel. Some muffins, cookies, coffee, and flowers. 😁
The only downside from fasting is my "ketosis breath" in the morning. This body is a factory at night, getting rid of old cells and WHATNOT, so all the yucky fumes are escaping thru my mouth! Don't you love that word *whatnot*? It describes things you have no clue of perfectly.👍. So the first thing I do waking up is brushing these choppers! Even before I do my business! Priorities!
My sister is feeling better these days. The smoke has cleared, and I am sure she is happy about that! I have been so worried about her, and even texted her daughter about it. She is the eldest daughter, married with 3 kids upstairs. I told her to keep an eye out with her using pain killers. She is so used to using things to mask the pain, she forgets to treat the main reason she is having pain. As with much in her life, she stuffs her pain, whether its emotional or physical. You ask her how she's doing, she's fine. Its amazing to me, to not process things. For my own health and sanity, its the one thing I do, I have to. Maybe its a Gemini thing.💖

Happy Monday. I had a post I was working on last Fasting and got busy with the IT people and logged out. Good thing is I do think they have most the problems worked out for my dept. Still have some reports we need to be able to print, but so much better then I was expecting.
So far the low dose steriods are working on keeping the rash away. Can't say I feel great with the steriods, but One day at a time. I do know that weigh in tomorrow will not be good, but getting back on track with logging.
Barbie--Just seems to be eye exams I get stressed out about. I am afraid of making the wrong choice and not being able to see. I am looking forward to the new glasses and being able to see distance better.
Kim--Sorry to hear about the camp. What a shame just for them to let it go.
Lisa--Sure hope you get the meds and start feeling better. I know what it is like to want or need to get a list of things done and can barely finish one. I a pushing a little bit farther everyday.
Welcome back Linda! I do remember you and glad to see you posting again.
I love sending and geting Christmas cards. I send out over 125 and hear back from most. Mostly send to family and friends that live far away. But I love getting them.
One of my grand daughter that is 12 and in the 7th grade. She is home schooling this year. Well last Thursday someone hacked the school's computer syster and sent pron to all the home school children. What is wrong with people???
Well time to sign off and get some work done before 3:30. Take Care
Blessings, Vicki GI NE

Heather: love the new fridge! Enjoy!
Begging pardon as I try to post a pic using my phone. (Just in case there are a lot of flubs; I don't want anyone to think an infant has my phone)0 -
This cracked me up!The leaflet trying to explain that the fridge freezer makes noises.
Have any of you got a 0° drawer? Not very well explained.
Waiting for 21.30 to switch it on.

Heather, we have a drawer that keeps meat and fish, and some other items just barely above the brink of being frozen. I love it.
I also keep my soft goat cheese there because it keeps it just barely frozen, and I can grate it onto my beet and spinach salad.
You’ll find lots of uses for it, I’m certain.

Katla So many adventures in Oregon. I never went through the locks and haven't been in a boat for 20 years. I get sick very quickly on boats these days. Have you ever been on the Sternwheeler adventures? I was planning on it and saving for it and then I got sick and it was off my list. I did do the Hood River Murder Mystery Train before I got sick, and was fine until the return where they just reversed the train so I had to ride backward. I made it but had to sit sideways. They had the best prime rib dinner and local wine. The actors were superb.
Cascade Locks is a beautiful fun place. What a fun adventure for you and DH. You may recognize these small falls near Cascade.

Today is World Peace Day!
I think we could all use a little peace about now. "International Day of Peace—established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1981 and first observed in 1982—is 'devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples.' In 2001, a resolution adopted by the General Assembly designated the International Day of Peace to be a 'day of global ceasefire and non-violence.'"
Machka - I think you're right, the planet is getting over-populated and this won't be the last pandemic. Hopefully we'll learn from it, because the next one could be much worse and this one is bad enough!
margaretturk - Goodness, I think I'd have to call that contractor's office and have a conversation about face masks.
Heather - "Duck Egg" is a gorgeous color! That's exactly the color I've been envisioning for our bedroom.
Tracey - The 1918 "Spanish" flu pandemic continued in some places as late as 1921. Perish the thought... We do have better medical tools now, but I think it's highly unlikely a vaccine will be available and affordable for everyone who needs it anytime soon.
Linda - We inherited what I guess you call a cottage in the Texas Hill Country from my mom and dad, and it's been such a blessing to have a place we could retreat to for a change of scenery. Of course, with four part-owners and a host of kids and cousins, we don't get there very often since we have to take turns now. But still, sometimes I just want to see something besides the inside of my own house.
Katla - We are getting pretty shaggy over here too. Philip hasn't been able to have a haircut since he is still having lingering effects of his Great Oak Mite Attack of 2020, and I work from home so I can just pull all of the longer hair up into a tiny topknot to keep it out of my eyes. Usually I just go to the barber but I'm waiting for him to be able to go with me this time.
I'm feeling ashamed of myself because the pandemic seems to have completely robbed me of self discipline. I've put on weight and my house is a mess. I guess I'm depressed and needing extra ooph to drag myself around, but aside from keeping up at work I'm having trouble getting anything at all done. I just need to be patient with myself and set a goal every day, even if it's a small one. I'm going to ask Philip to help me get back on track with exercise. We still aren't going to the gym, but it's finally cool enough now to make walking outside every day tolerable. It's been rainy all day today, though. Great for the trees but not so good for walkers.

Bwhaha! I still have a ways to go until any pics. I don't fast to lose weight amazingly. I just like how I feel, and how my body takes care of wounds, scars, blemishes, and my lichen sclerosis. All gone for the most part. I started at 249 and now I'm 235.4 lbs. Don't you worry, when I get down some I'll strike a pose! I appreciate y'all more than you'll ever know!💖

My snack was a hummus cup, a handful of Stacy's Bagel chips. Meal was 3 Klondike protein pancakes, and 2 eggs. Dessert was a chocolate chip cookie (last of the batter and like 2 chips) with walnuts crammed on it and coffee!
Oh and I made some blueberry compote with frozen blueberries, and real maple syrup, then a cup of cornstarch to thicken.
Yummy!💖

Eating like a queen for 2 hours every day!0 -
We've switched it on! Quite strange noises at the moment! No wonder they provide a leaflet. I've moved some shelves around. It's on at 5°. Might turn it down a bit tomorrow.

I found that if I cut way back on wheat products, I have much better skin. When I say "cut back," I mean less than a small slice of bread or slider bun per day. I had slacked off when sheltering in place started and within 2 days of stopping, my skin was amazingly clearer.
