    Wonderful Sandra! I know you will enjoy having him home. I walked to the mail and back and the package I was hoping for wasn't there. Oh well. Today I had my first diet soda in 6-7 weeks. It was so good. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I guess. I have been drinking just water, tea with stevia and coffee with stevia.

    Good morning. My turkey is in the brine. I did not have a container both long enough and tall enough, so I put it breast side down and will have to turn it over at some point to brine the bottom. Then, early tomorrow morning, I will flip it breast side down again to brine on that side a little more before I inject it and rub it and get it in the oven bag with onion, carrot, celery, and bell pepper. I saw a tips and tricks that said using a baking sheet is better than using one of those roasting pans because the sides on the roasting pans prevent heat from getting to the thighs. Therefore, it takes longer to cook and the breast dries out more. So I will give it a try. I will place my turkey bag on a baking sheet instead of the aluminum roasting pan that I bought. After work today, we need to pick up some medicine for my husband before the cancer center closes and then I will make my cheesecake for tomorrow so that it can set overnight in the fridge. Happy Thanksgiving Eve.

    I was confused for sure when I went to groups and didn’t see us. I found this new group through search.

    My honest to God dream dog is on stray hold at an animal shelter less than an hour from me. I know when he's available. I filled out an application. But they've had over 100 calls about him. It's first come, first serve. They told me people line up for hours ahead of opening time for dogs like him. My husband is a cancer patient. Covid numbers are going to rise after holiday get togethers. As much as it makes my heart sad, I think I need to not try to go get him. It's not worth risking my husband's life to go get a puppy even though this may be my only chance to ever own one.

    Nicole can you get someone else to pick the dog up? Such a shame if you can't get him.

    It sounds like they found his owners and they are going to go for him. It did encourage me to reach out to a breeder of his breed to confirm my suspicions.... They want you to agree to wait a year to neuter and I'm not willing to do that. Looks like another Pembroke corgi is our future puppy. Not that I'm disappointed. I love Pems. Just thinking a Cardigan corgi would have been different. But I'm just not willing to agree to delayed neuter. I'm also not willing to put down a deposit to get on a wait list. A deposit AFTER my puppy is born and I pick him out from the litter, sure. But not just to get on the wait list. It's funny, when I told her I'd prefer a blue merle, she immediately said you want to breed don't you? We won't sell to you if you want to breed. No, I don't want to breed. I want to neuter as young as possible so that we don't have any marking or behavior issues. Definitely no interest in breeding here.

    I spent an hour today on sort clean move toss. I went through all my craft supplies and organized them. I've got another set of plastic drawers coming because I really need more room.

    I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

    I didn't do too bad with eating yesterday. I peeked at the scale this morning to see how badly I did yesterday since tomorrow is my weekly weigh in day and I was actually DOWN this morning instead of up! We'll see if that holds true tomorrow morning or not.

    I made a Christmas gift for my mom earlier this evening. The focal bead is handmade lampwork glass by an artist in California. I designed and strung the necklace myself. I also bought a focal bead from the same artist for my mother in law, but I haven't made her piece yet. I will do hers maybe tomorrow. She will hang hers on the wall and display it. Here is a picture of my mom's piece. She loves cardinals, so I think she will be very happy.

    Good evening. I am still reading my book, Think Yourself Thin. I am enjoying it. My mom thought the book sounded good so she ordered a copy over the weekend to read with me. One of the chapters I read tonight was about creating and immersing yourself in a support system. I have never been a very good "weight loss buddy" and checking in by phone, text, or email on a regular basis. Maybe I need to try that again. My mom is doing a different diet plan from me, but maybe she and I can create a "Buddy Contract" and write up our goals and our commitments to each other and check in via email a few days a week. We usually talk on the phone every weekend. I have other friends trying to lose weight, but I am not sure who is dedicated enough that they would want to make a commitment to be a Weight Loss Buddy. I do have a page on facebook specifically for my weight loss. I should make part of my commitment to be to post there more frequently than I am. I bought on Black Friday (online) a copy of Ring Fit Adventure for my video game system. It is a fitness game that uses your body movements. It arrived Saturday and I played for 17 minutes Saturday and 30 minutes Sunday. I wore myself out both days. My thighs are killing me today and I know I got a good workout. I just walked today, to give my muscles a break. The game makes exercise more fun. I am enjoying it and I am glad I bought it.

    We did not used to be close. When I was growing up, we both had untreated mental health issues so there was alot of tension in the house. I do not have many fond memories of my childhood. But as we've gotten older and gotten help for our issues (individually), we have gotten closer. I know I was not an easy child, so it is not all "her fault". Part of it was the way she was raised, too.
