Warm & Cheerful

And smelling like fried peanuts again.  The house was warm when I returned from work and I have the heat set a bit higher for G to enjoy. Riley is pasted to the baseboard heater.

I found the last of the Turkey Search contest names.  And then, as I was filling out the name and address for our entry, I noticed it said a drawing of the entries with the most correct solutions would be held with 20 turkeys being awarded.  What do you think the odds are that everyone goes into the hopper for the drawing?  I think pretty good as who really is going to check all the entries?  Sam helped find a few and G has a new technique which seems to work very well.  We need a better way to mark the businesses we find.

Customer Connect. Melissa didn't leave an address and when I tried to follow the link backwards I got nowhere so I deleted her.  G has it all taken care of and I am using Comcast right now to read and send emails.  So, Melissa, it's all good.  Now.  Finally. You really need to speak with the customer support guy who told us to "call Apple".  If only all my problems could be handled by Apple.  Excellent Customer Service at Apple.

I got most of my chores done yesterday.  I ate a measured 50 grams of cereal (no cheating) with 2/3 cup of soy milk for breakfast and a 2 cup portion of soup and a medium (5.5 ounce) apple for lunch.  I think I have around 600 calories left for dinner.  Or not.  I stayed busy all day and that is the key to this diet.  No free time.  Day One and I feel successful.  That's a good feeling.  Gema you are correct about 1200 calories being very hard to live with especially trying to have three meals and being very active.  I think being too tired to even want to eat helps and all that peanut frying grease made me pretty sick to my tummy.

More peanuts tomorrow because we have to supply all three locations with peanuts for the Open House Weekend.  I scrubbed and sprayed every surface I could reach with Simple Green (cuts grease) around the frying station when we finished for the day and even scrubbed the stair railing which was sticky with grease from Ed's hands.  I even took all the tools up to the sink and washed them (something new) and fished all the peanuts out from under the fry baskets; they were burnt black.  Where are the Food Police when you need them???

G is home.  Happy days.
