I just looked into weight watchers online after seeing the conversation here, and it turns out I get a few more points a day because I'm breastfeeding. So, I may give that a try again. My weight has been slowly creeping back up since my big post baby weight loss.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

A co-worker borrowed my book for his daughter and has reported that she loved it and read it in one day. That feels good.

Nice, Gud!
Okay, you guys. I'm going outside to Walgreens to restock my supply of DayQuil, NyQuil, and Mucinex. Wish me luck.

OPRAH LOVES BREAD.
So do I. But not as much as pasta and neither are great for me because I have no willpower. If I'm going to have bread, fwiw, I'm going to make the bread (last week I made the most amazing ricotta loaf as well as some beautiful but bland sticky rolls) because it's satisfying. But after the gluten fest weekend I felt bloated and ill.
So go on, Oprah, love your bread, but I'm still going to sit over here with my bread-little world.

My current obsession is croquembouche! Fun to say. Pretty. Perhaps tasty?

Apple fritter achieved! I also took three bags to the PTA thrift shop, two to the dumpster, and a bunch of cardboard to recycling. Not all of it was from the spare room. There's plenty more to do, but I put a satisfying dent in the chaos. And now I'm off to google croquembouche.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Totally tasty! Especially if you make the filling chocolate, like I did that one time.
I did go for my walk and shopping and then, on the way home, my neighbor drove by me and offered me a ride! So less of a walk, but still very pleasant.

Headache, nauseous, too many loads of laundry, and exhaused.

Sorry, Suzi.
I have managed to wash my sheets and put them back on my bed. I went to Walgreens for meds. I went to the grocery store for some lemon ginger tea. I've got a load of laundry in because I've been sweating through all my pajamas. Once the laundry is put away, I'm not doing anything else productive today, because I'm still sick.
I intended to do my taxes this weekend, but that's clearly not happening.
