Oh Dana, here's to hoping for the best for you and your mom.
I have an email to send. Here's to not forgetting.
Zoe: My man would never fall for that. Wash: Most of my head wishes I had.

Surgery-ma for your mom, Dana!
(For my 3 surgeries, I told my docs about my needle nervousness, and they always started gave me liquid Valium when the IV port was put in. Valium and those warm blankies - mmm.)

The secret to great lentils is fat. Lots and lots of fat. Bacon for European applications, ghee for dal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Somehow I feel that our recommendations of adding lots of fat and salt to the lentils will defeat Consuela's purpose in making them in the first place!
Wow, I have little to no interest in working this morning, which makes me realize how much I actually do appreciate the 9:15 meeting I usually have on Monday mornings. I don't have to say anything in the meeting, so it kind of eases me into the week.
Meanwhile, my boss was supposed to be in Rwanda all week, but apparently got turned back in Amsterdam because her passport doesn't quite have six months left on it. YIKES.

Huh. That's...huh.
Surgery~ma for your mother, Dana, and calm~ma for you.
It sure felt like I was tossing and turning and awake half the night, but my sleep measuring app says I slept pretty good and I'm actually not tired and sleepy now, so maybe I believe it.

Hey, I'm not a doctor! I just know lentils need bacon!

Hee. I'm fervently hoping I maintain good cholesterol/blood pressure/whatever numbers like my parents have, considering I had cheese with bacon in it for breakfast....

Bacon and cheese cookies for me. And quiche packed for lunch, which seems healthy to me but is probably cholesterol-iffic since I make it with whole eggs and cream (and more cheese).

Cholesterol must be so much of a genetic lottery, because I (and my mother) have freakishly good cholesterol, despite the fact that we are fat and rather sedentary, while my taller, thin uncle who runs marathons has bad cholesterol and has become a vegan to try and fight it!

I'm in horrible physical shape these days, but my BP, cholesterol, etc. are all top notch.
I told my new doctor this the first time I saw him but I don't think he believed me. Then he called when the blood work was in and he was all "so, your bloodwork numbers are...surprised pause...fantastic."
Though I am supposed to be taking iron supplements which I always forget.
