    Kylia- LOVE the butterfly!! My grandma collected butterflies so that makes me think of her.

    Just got done with my dentist appointment- two hours in the chair. Two temporary crowns, a filling and a build up for the third tooth I broke all done.

    Heading out to the wetlands for a long walk-

    I will catch up here when I get back after getting my daycare girl from school at 12:45

    I ate my planned diet today Yay! Except a little extra dark chocolate. I can probably exercise off those extra calories. One night at a time!

    Kind of a Rant: During the last of December and the first of January, I managed to finally lose 5 lbs by cutting way down on carbs. Last week, my digestive system went totally wacko and I was miserable for days. Finally, after taking meds (miralax and acidolphus tablets), I am feeling better but have eaten way out of control. Today, I ate a whole pizza by myself and I am really ashamed. So, tomorrow it's time to get back on track. Haven't dared get on the scale for almost a week but will start back tomorrow.

    I eat a whole pizza every Saturday.

    It's at most 12" diameter and 700 or 800 cal.

    Vicki - I so admire you. Truly. You are someone I really respect. You have been through so much. <3 You are a survivor with a good heart.

    Carol - In Italy and in the UK it is considered perfectly normal to eat the whole pizza. In Italy it is truly bad manners not have a pizza to yourself. :p Anyway, whatever, we are all allowed a bad day. I have them often. :o>:)
    As Scarlett O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day".

    I went out to my meeting, and was glad I went. A cold journey, but no wind. Some interesting people and I will attend an afternoon meeting in February. I left when someone started droning on about political parties.

    Michele - Stick to your guns! <3 The right decision.

    I'm still somewhat perturbed by my ex. But I've distracted myself this evening, so I hope I will sleep. I've moved on. "When you know better, you do better", (Maya Angelou)

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Kymarai—I grew up with parents who were thrifty. My mom canned peaches and pears at a “do it yourself” cannery. There were never any labels on mom’s canned fruit, and none of the cans rusted or failed. They were either peaches or pears. Good memories—😊

    my mom always canned veggies and fruit, so did my grandma. We grew all of our own veggies/meat/fruit. Bought very little at the store. Mom still does. We have always had an acre of garden so lots to process. Growing up, it was for our family and extended family, then it was more for Farmer's Market, then they started selling to 8 restaurants in town. Then Covid hit and no one bought. Then dad passed away. Mom hasn't done much planting the last two years but hopefully this year I can help even more and that the friends who say they will help, will show up.

    I plant a little garden but don't can on my own. I help mom but don't feel comfortable doing it on my own.

    Wow Lanette-that is shocking about neighbor. I had heard that often heart surgeries can change personalities of people-especially men. Had heard about just surgery in general.

    Serencompassion-Beans is gorgeous!

    Kylia-I remember when Miami Valley used to be THE hospital. Kettering opened an emergency room over here last year. I haven't used it but from the parking lot it would appear they have a decent business.

    Allie-Miles is one happy looking young man.

    Carol-don't beat yourself up over the pizza. I often have a small one for a meal.

    Had busy day today. Going to out of town meeting in morning, then in office for a few, then work food pantry. Off to get some sleep so I have the energy. I agree with others-kind of a low energy day.

    Take care all,

    Ginny in Ohio
