These pictures are the only proof I have that the sun has shone this month. Today is cool, overcast and damp. My perennials are growing like weeds. G's poppy (I purchase plants I know he will enjoy) is blooming--a very large, very red flower on a plant that should be PINK. It was pink when I bought it last year. Pink with a black center. The light here in the house just shifted. And I see a shade on the wall. SUN. Perhaps we can get the grass cut today after all.
I finally had time (and G) to get the king mattress rotated so I could add the wool mattress pad. So now the bed is topped with this luxuriously fluffy wool layer, smooth real linen sheets and the new down blanket. Heavenly. I haven't asked G what he thought but I hope it was pleasant.
G worked all afternoon cleaning up his office. I scrubbed the hall bathroom (his) clean and only need to mop the floors today. I did about five loads of laundry and just about have the bathtub in my bathroom empty. I use it as a big laundry basket.
I had soup with corn (a no- no vegetable) yesterday and ended the day with a sugar free jello. This morning I was back down having "lost" the pound I "gained" yesterday. I am just going to keep going and stop weighing myself (or weighing myself and ignoring the result, unless it's a good thing). I started the morning with a MIM topped with a sausage patty and a slice of American cheese. (an Atkins sausage biscuit with cheese) Now I have to count the carbs. I find I am happier with the addition of the fiber in the Flax meal. I added more cinnamon and a pinch of salt to make it taste sort of better. I also microwaved the batter in a square container and it seemed like a "sandwich" after I cut the MIM in half. Sometimes appearances can make you think you are having something you like, when you aren't.
G is shredding the papers he removed from his office. Riley is monitoring the tree guys from inside the house. I am going upstairs to do my Pilates. See you later.
