I just looked up the nickel content of various grains because a lot of them like whole wheat are high so I have to avoid them. The 3 that are relatively low are quinoa, farro, and barley. Will have to try farro too.

I looked back at my post-facelift pictures again. At day 10/11 I looked okay enough with makeup on to go out though I did keep my hair brushed forward onto my face to hide the incisions around my ears. By 3 weeks those incisions were starting to disappear.

That's an idea I had not thought of. Perhaps my middle child would take me up on that offer!
It was Diane's cruise suggestion that finally lit the fire under my arse to do the passport paperwork. Now to schedule my in person appointment!

Thanks for the farro suggestion. I will get some at the hippie grocery which I am sure will have it along with other stuff I have not heard of. ds

I always look forward to your posts! So glad you are finally feeling better. What horror inflicted all of you!
You may both want to use those passports sooner than you think. If you were traveling together (say on a TT cruise as Diane suggested) would any of your children come to pet sit if you flew them down to Florida. I would have jumped at the chance in my 20s.
Happy gto hear there was no new dental trauma. I totally commiserate with the anxious feelings. Feels good when it's done.
Liz, your cruise looks wonderful. Glad one of us could suntan today! I looked up Alaska cruises on the liner you are on. Pricey but they look very nice! I think we will forego plane travel (at least together****il the dogs are gone now that we don't have kids to house/dog sit. I really should inquire about a local person just in case we do need to both travel!
Weight 120.2 for 2 days in a row, despite the Swiss rolls and Nutty Bars!
Very cold this morning. I needed to cover up my herb garden with a towel last night. It worked! Sunny and low 60's by the afternoon.
I filled out passport paperwork today and took our pictures. I'll need to go to a center to get mine since I have never had one. DH can mail his in!
Sausage mushroom soup on a cold FL day. Tasted wonderful!

Glad you are finally feeling better! Me too!
Christmas decorations will come down when they are good and ready!
Little Debbie's have found their way into my diet much like your Twinkies! Sneaky little buggers!

If you are looking for rice substitutes, try farro. Looks a bit like barley when cooked. Higher fiber and protein with a bit of a nutty flavor and chewier texture. I really like it!
Nice that you are having sunny days. We had sun today but it was 32 degrees this morning when the dogs needed to go out! No water aerobics!
