Nice job maintaining Liz! Me, not so much. First weight this morning was 135.1. I weighed in again after eating breakfast and it went down to 134.9 which made no sense. It is what it is!

Lots of snow today! Yuck! I'm staying inside. DSD and fiancé are here until tomorrow and DC1 will come over for dinner. Build your own taco/burrito bowls with a choice of chicken, shrimp or steak for the protein, pico, avocado, cilantro lime rice, refried beans and white queso! Another family favorite!

I continue with my character development class tomorrow morning at church after missing last week's class from Covid. Just a bit of lingering congestion from that which is good! Could have been much worse!

We must be creatures of habit! I worked for the same hospital system for 30 years! And I would still be married to Ben if not for that damn cancer!

Sorry you are feeling down! And of course you should mention it here! That is what we are all here for! Wishing you good sleep even if you did catch a few more zzzzz's than usual this morning!

Thanks for the recipe. Sounds delicious! I always prefer the table side made guacamole that is chunky to the smooth versions! Yum!

Exactly where my pictures have been since September.....different arrangements and spacing, but just can't seem to make decisions......

I think there's something to be said for being comfortable with feeling uncomfortable. If you've been down that road enough times, you know you don't need to panic, this too shall pass, but you also know it's worth monitoring in case it doesn't pass in due time. When I experienced a profound depression, it was clear I was going to need more than time to get out from under it. Since then, most of my depressive feelings have been what I call situational depression, that, cir****tances being what they are, feeling sad seems an appropriate response. It usually passes when my coping skills are recharged: more sleep, more fun, better food, music, art ... but if it hangs around longer than expected, I check in again with myself, because I never want to get to the place I once was when I was 30.

We do the chunk style too, sort of like a Cerviche. Its how my BFF who lives in Mexico City taught us.
