That sounds like an excellent use of candy, Maria!

I would try eating bright yellow, it sounds like it might be effective! I don't know where I'd get some, though.
Mustard! Also Skittles.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I am drinking coffee with chicory this morning, and wishing I was back in New Orleans with my people.

It snowed on me in the parking lot. Winter is here.

It should be. He's on a 16-hour shift today. The medic is on a 12-hour. And if there's any left, two different folks will be on that same schedule tomorrow.

I ate a ridiculous lunch of all the fried things Monday, and it propelled me back to counting calories. I am down 4 lbs on the year (down 7 since spring when I had gained) and I want to keep on that track. If I get down 15 lbs from where I am now I think I will schedule a consultation about a reduction. It will depend if a 15 lb loss does anything to reduce them.
Yesterday I did well. On track today to do well. Increasing water intake seems to really help.
In Mac news, 2 days of being decent mood wise and mostly compliant, that's it. Last night back to doing no chores, not getting off computer when asked, up past bedtime. Didn't get himself up this morning, no talking to me on way to school.
I've contacted therapist, we are setting up appt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Can I say "ugh"? I just want to say "ugh."
Ugh.
There, I feel better now.

msbelle, I'm so sorry he's being difficult. You are a fabulous mom--the pinkest even--and I wish that things end up on an even keel sooner rather than later.
Woo hoo, reduction!

Yeah 14-16 apparently just sucks wrt parental relations. Internet is getting turned off at our house at 7:30 until further notice. I'll turn I back on once he is in the shower and his phone is in living room getting charged. I want so badly for him to be responsible, but it is not yet in the cards wrt time, electronics, or money.

I'm sorry msbelle. And, yeah, I remember being difficult in those ages and I was a relatively easy kid overall. The steps you are taking sound helpful.
I really need to get back to watching my diet, but I also feel like it is time to change my, like, dietary foundation. I've been more or less low carb for three years, time for something different. I might just straight up calorie count.
All the fried things sounds awfully good, though.
