So you are going to wait for the backordered one at this point? I used to have two full refrigerators and had both freezers full. I felt like I never really knew what was in there and periodically had to throw out stuff that was frozen for too long so eventually gravitated to just having one. Though I do prefer a sizeable one in a side-by-side refrigerator. The drawers in the French door refrigerators (we have one here) do not seem to allow for efficient freezer use.

I had to look up who Varuca Salt was. Sustaining weight loss over a long period is tough especially if you have to work at it. It just gets tiresome after a while. You do look pretty fit in that Halloween picture so maybe you don't need to drop all of that 35?

Raining again and I am calling it officially Fall. Flannel sheets and downy comforters on bed. Love love snuggling into that stuff which partially makes up for the much too early daily darkness.

Saturday laundry and kitchen cleaning done and since everything looked so very nice DH and I put up the last of the season's tomatoes and green peppers into a lovely meat sauce. Too lazy to can so into the deep freeze with it. Had some over a baked sweet potato for supper and it was yummy.

Vegging on sofa watching old Perry Mason episodes with Kurt and, of course falling asleep. Tomorrow looks like an early wake up with the time change (retirement bonus is not having to be on anyone's schedule- so there.)

Greetings all

Fall has arrived for sure. Ok by me. Jus****ched our football team lose a heartbreaker. Oh well. Only a game. At least we had a few hours without election news.

Got a call from the nephew - the one who is expecting the baby after years of IVF. They had important news. They had been told they were expecting a boy by previous doctor. Today they get told it's a girl! Some kind of screw up in which report the doctor was reading because they had multiple embryos. They don't care so it's all good. But jeez, how goofy is that!! I am kind of glad.

Peps have you ever had body fat percentage calculated? Might be interesting. Some of us are just made to be thicker than others. Or so I tell myself. I do recall that to maintain at my low weight I could only do about 1200 calories per day. Not sustainable long term. Maybe just my rationalization.

Hoping to get back to my walking soon. This afternoon has been a cough fest even with the meds. It's all sinus driven. Makes me miserable.

Yep I really don't care about daylight time but easy for me to say. Agreed that it is uncivilized to go to work and come home in the dark.

Exotic trips CC! Sounds like your friends have the right idea. Do it while you can. And boo on the freezer. Nothing lasts anymore.

We still have cold cuts and veggies. I think I am going to cook some of the veggies as it's kind of comfort food in the cold.

Still floundering around with the gallery lease. These people are not being very cooperative.

Not much else. Diane S

Today's gripe! I have a stand alone freezer in my laundry room (left by the previous owners). It's a Whirlpool. They had a part on order to fix it (it won't stay cold and hovers around 25-30 degrees, which is not food safe) that didn't come in until well after I took possession of the house. So I paid for the part when it came in and the service call. Then less than a year later the same part broke again. I had that fixed. Now it's broken AGAIN. I believe I have some warranty on the part (but not the $150 service calls), but I don't see this issue improving with time. I think I should just get a new non-Whirlpool freezer. But in researching freezers, every single one from all the brands has complaints! Freezing over inside, compressors breaking, losing entire freezers of food. It's so discouraging. What happened to solid appliances that work for decades? And the dimensions are all over the map so only the one I had will fit in the cabinet the way this one does. Others are too tall or too deep. So next to the matching fridge which does keep temperature, it's going to look funny. And the one that I think will look the least funny and is not a Whirlpool is backordered until December.

So I cleaned out my main freezer and Tetrised everything from the other one in there. Once again, nothing is easy!
