Plus, on really really cold days you can double them up? :-)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm having breakfast at The Heartland Cafe. And I just lost a staring contest with a baby.

Eta: But I won the next one.

I got up and dressed, put on my fancy boot, and crutched out to feed the cats. And now I'm tucked back in bed, foot elevated, and looking through my coloring book. I slept well at least.

How is it only 11am? I have been at work for 3 hours and it feels like FOREVER.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It's snowing, finally!

And yesterday I spent all my spending money on birdseed, 75 pounds worth, which I immediately regretted but now am really glad I did! The wind blew over my birding station so I had to reset everything, but they are going to be glad I did. And I am going to be happy to sit in my rocking chair and drink tea and watch them. I'm such an old lady already, aren't I? Oh, well, at least I'll be prepared when the time comes.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

o the know what aisles I stopped in??

Yes. Stores use facial recognition and monitoring cameras to know where you stop and when. Awesome info on this in a four minute video from the Center for Investigative Reporting and NPR: [link] I tell you, it's not the NSA we should worry about. It's companies.

I filed my taxes this AM. WOOT.

That is super creepy, Kat. Eek.

Still irked and awake from the construction. And my throat still hurts. Stupid sickness.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Well, hell. I thought I was in pretty good health but I just got my blood test results and my cholesterol is wicked high. My doctor will want to put me on statins, I'm sure of it. But I don't wanna! Don't wanna be on medication for the rest of my life.

I'm going to try to cut a deal with him: give me two months to get it down through diet. Which means no cheese, no cookies, no beef, no bacon. Basically a vegan diet, sigh. Good thing I got the Runner's World cookbook for Christmas, which has lots of tasty-looking low-fat recipes in it.

Well, maybe it'll help my running.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Consuela, my doc recommmended I try red yeast rice supplements because she doesn't like putting someone my age (I think we're close in age?) on statins. You could look into that if diet doesn't help.
