Yep Pappa Murphy's take and bake pizza has tubs of raw cookie dough you can buy. If we go buy another pizza tonight we can get a free tub if we fill out a survey. So good. DS

Alas, Tiger doesn't have goats. Ole Stink Eye was probably relocated from his mtn on the peninsula to the Cascades (my normal hiking mtns) because goats are non-native on the peninsula. (I wonder what it cost to capture all the goats on the peninsula, load them on helicopter and eventually transport them to the Cascades) So, it is possible I will run into him this summer. I'm sure he will remember me.

It isn't that the yogurt itself is binge worthy, necessarily. But, it is a slider food and I have gotten into the habit of eating it night and then going back for more and more. Eventually night time eating has become the norm and then I start eating other stuff, too. Just a bad habit rearing its head.

Good Morning All

Weight 172.04 - heading down - right direction

Had a good day yesterday, up early and got banking organised while DH slept in then we headed out for groceries and to fill his prescriptions. Had a nice coffee then shopped for a baby gift for our niece before heading home. DSS, his partner and our grandson came for lunch as did my mum. I bought a cooked chook from Costco the night before and I made a zuchinni & bacon slice - served with green salad and crunchy salad - it was delicious. Dessert was bottled peaches with fresh passionfuit and custard. It was wonderful to spend time with our little man. He is growing up so fast.

Booked both lots of accomodation on AirBNB last night for Singapore. It is finally feeling real. We leave in a little over 14 weeks!

Today is work mingled with 2 medical appointments. One at 8am and the other at 4pm when I finish. Hoping for no long waits at either. DH has gone back to the farm this week. I am deciding if I go Wed night late as we have to come home Fri and help DSS move on Saturday and DH flys to QLD after lunch Sunday. Another busy week coming up!

Well I best get moving - already 7am here

Have a wonderful day/evening all x

Shirley

I bought this cube of conversation cards for couples. DH and I pull one or two out of the cube while having dinner. Questions like, what is the one article of your partner's clothing you'd like to burn, or how are you like your parents, what is your ideal romantic evening etc. One question was, what would you like to change about your partner's health practices. My husband said emphatically, I want you to get back to exercising regularily. I said me too, and thanks for bringing it up because I always feel a little guilty paying for a health club when I could walk for free at the mall, or do some routine from YouTube, but now I won't. He said, don't feel guilty, I want you to do it. The club I belonged to previously lost their lease, so this week I need to check out one that opened very close to our house. Conversation cards are great! Although now my husband is probably keeping an even closer eye on his ratty sweatshirt from Panama City now that he knows my true intentions!

Having it close to the house is so helpful!

Those conversation cards are a cute idea, which I wish we had in the past. Alas, there can't be any conversation now for DH.

They have different sets for friends, dinner parties, etc. Might be fun for some of your get togethers with your Florida friends. I just searched conversation cards on Amazon and a bunch of different categories came up.

I didn't even think about how Alzheimer's takes away the past too, that you can never turn to your husband and say, tell me about ... I've been with my husband 35 years, and there are still so many stories to be told and new things I learn about him. I'm so sorry you've lost that.

One of the many quotes/gems I enjoy is: eating well only deprives me of poor health and lethargy.
