Eggplant

Walking when it's warm out
I've been walking the dog back and forth to the office (it helps with her training). But it's been warm out here (80s), and I find that I'm falling asleep as soon as I get home. Is this from the heat, or is it from something else?

I've got eggs listed on my food list. However, I notice that it just says "egg"--still the same amount of calories, no matter how I prepare them (poached, fried, pickled, whatever). Has anyone else figured a higher count for different preparations?

Holiday letdown
I'm struggling with what I think is 'holiday letdown'. I'm NOT looking forward to heading back to work. I don't want to self-medicate by indulging in food. I did some cleaning today. But I don't deal with the post-holiday very well.
