No Eat

A bit of a misnomer. As many of you are aware, Wednesday’s are my weigh in day. So, first thing, out of bed, go to scale, fully naked (yes, TMI) and weigh my self. Well, I am finally in the range I want to be. I weighed in at 148.4, loss of three pounds, and am between 145 and 150. My goal. Yay. That means a couple of hundr d more calories each day. That translates to NO more nasty pancakes. Thank god.

For breakfast today I will be having yogurt with some grape nuts in it and fresh fruit on top. Can I get a resounding Amen?!!! Thank you.

With the end of the weight loss period I now need to restart my workout routine. Another piece of the puzzle to keep me charging hard into old age. I need to get as far as my dad has. His doctor says, “you’re 87, drink as much booze and eat as much rich food as you want. Smoke if you feel like. Carouse with coarse women.” So I have to get that old. Or change doctors. And, by the way, my dad does what his doctor tells him to do. Could be why he has lived so long.

So today being Wednesday I usually work from home. I have quite a few things to do today like grocery shopping and phone calls. A few bank recs. Nothing fun. I am going to call some of the yurt vendors and push that process forward. Get it to a point where I have it “built” then get Emily’s thumbs up and order it.

Speaking of Emily, I just received the first gift of Christmas. Its actually a gift for Emily and I stuck it in my closet. The second gift came today from Cissie for Em and I. Cissie pays attention. We got a teardrop trailer this summer and our gift reflects that. Very nice.

So this am, instead of being productive i sat around and chatted withh Cossie about whatever. I did not get to calling yurt makers and I did not get any real work done. Oh well. I did get to the grocery store and get that shopping done. I am not completely worthless.

When i got home from the grocery, i decided to open the two boxes i got from The Bounty Hunter. I joined a Bourbon club there a couple weeks ago. I received the two boxes shortly thereafter which I assumed were the two bottles of bourbon. Well, I opened the first box and there were two bottles of wine, a chardonnay and a cab. First thought, they screwed up. But, there was a note “our wine club is better, switch to Bounty Hunter, i will take care of you” signed by Arnaldo who set me up with the Bourbon. The wine was free. Wow. Now I gotta join their club. Which is fine, its better than either of our clubs. I have to call and thank Arnaldo. Here it is

I kept this cool free wine a secret from Emily. I wanted to share it as a surprise, like when i opened the box and fumbked through it till i found the card. I though she would enjoy it too.

I went up stairs and finished up running through several hundred emails. Mostly garbage, with a few that needed attention. That took awhile. While i wasnin that, Cissie showed up. I have to take her to the airport and she wanted to leave at 430. So, off to the airport. We got there ans she insisted on a selfie

So she is off to home. We will miss her. She will be back once she has purchased a house and has room for Trisha. She is coming back to move her home. I hope she finds a house soon. It will settle her life a little.

I got home, Emily was there. Inshowed her the wine. She had the same response i did – we should join their club. I will call tomorrow. She wants to keep the local club still and we can get rid of the other.

We left to go to a wine club event in Winters at Turkovich. We belong to the local winery club. We had hors douveres and wine there with Barb and Kirk, neighbors and friends. A good time was had by all. Kirk said he would help me put up our yurt when we are ready. Yay, help. After wine, we went to a local place for Taco Wednesday. First time Ive been there for that. It was nice, but definitely white guy Mexican food. At least I got a glass of sangria

We are now home. Emily is in bed. I am going up in a second. Its bedtime.
