All fingers and toes crossed that DC1 is fully passed the crisis.

129 on the dot. Shot day will be tomorrow and I'm just starting to feel a little hungrier. Calories still around 1,000 but before now I rarely got there.
Treadmill interval routine done for the day and tomorrow's Bible study reading finished.
DC1 back to work, hallelujah! Hopefully for good! They said they feel like they are/were having a manic cycle which hasn't happened in quite awhile.
Cold, blustery day with snow and howling wind! Yuck! Dreaming of palm trees, ocean waves and warm temps!
Chicken enchiladas for dinner! Yum!

While DH was at his part-time job, the plow came by. 11 inches of snow on the street, pushed up onto the 11 inches on the driveway. Formidable. I was worried the snowblower might not run as it hasn't been used this year yet. Oh, but what sweet sound do I hear right now? The rumbling, grumbling of the snowblower as it gobbles up snow on the driveway, including the glacier at the bottom, and spits it into the yard.
Sounds like you ate wisely last night.
56 days! That's nothing! I felt like the last days went really fast too.

The tornado watches and snow days make me thankful for the gray, gloomy 50+ degree weather we are having here today. We are supposed to be in for about a week or so of steady light rain. In CA that is the best type of rain. Creates easy run off, slow snow melt, both of which help our reservoirs.
Excellent chest/push work out yesterday. Legs today.
Ron and I had our traditional breakfast for dinner Fat Tuesday dinner last night. He loves this yearly event! I'm neither here nor there, but it is a fun tradition with just the two of us. He had a full on chicken fried steak and eggs with two ginormous sweet cream pancakes. Me, I had two eggs and two pieces of well done bacon and half a pancake. Just enough "Fat Tuesday" to feel indulgent, but now enough to go off the rails!
The thinner I get, the colder I stay. I'm even wearing a hoodie at the gym for the first part of my workout until I get too warm. Last night I ended up putting the hoodie back on for the end of the workout! I know I will appreciate this trait during the summer months.
The realization of the blessing of time hit me yesterday. IF I use my time wisely, I am going to have so much more time to do the things I WANT to do rather than HAVE to do in just 56 more days.
It is also a blessing for me to have something joyful to which I can look forward. Lately I have felt at times like I'm living through some type of futuristic Sci Fi political armageddon novel. Yesterday's events only amplified my feelings. Stock market is down, prices continue to rise and divisions worsen and widen...
You be safe too! The winds are crazy this year.

Glad you didn't have to go out in that snow!

The fires are mostly contained, but under a tornado watch until 1PM. 60+ mph winds are predicted to reignite some of the hot spots. I have the items on front porch and the Carolina room on the pond put away/battened down. Mahjongg was fun last night. The 2025 cards come out 04.01.25, so we are all trying to play some of the 2024 hands we haven't tried yet. Be safe, everyone !

Sounds like that stylist is a keeper! I'm getting color and cut Friday, and I can't wait.
SNOW DAY! Well technically a flex day. We post online assignments for the students to complete and we need to be available via email for any questions. I'm doing this under the covers, in my jammies while watching the local news and drinking tea.
We got 10 inches, and now a stiff wind is blowing the snow around. Definitely a day to stay off the roads. I have everything I need here, so I will stay put.
