Rotisserie chickens at places like Costco and Sam's Club are always in the 4 to 4.5 pound range, and as a loss leader bring in so much traffic that it's worth it. I'm to the Sodium chapter in the Taubes book, and am continuing to do the math as far as my food choices. I've bought fewer rotisserie chickens since monitoring my sodium, but think I can add it back in without problems when doing a non-wheat low-sugar diet.

I've removed wheat and white rice from my diet but still have quite a few colorful fruits and vegetables, so am not at that superlow carb level, though it is much lower than before when bread was on the diet. It averages a third of my calories instead of 2/3 like it used to, and as time passes and the fruit and veggies I already have here run low, I'll choose lower-carb options and buy the higher carb stuff in lower quantities.

This morning I moved the wooden bench from the sunroom to beside the rail under the large case opening where the den and kitchen meet (and there is a 6" step down, so the rail runs along the edge for safety, with a 3' gap at the step.) This is moving a tile in that Chinese puzzle board, and it isn't necessarily where this bench is going to stay. The side entrance into the house is more open now.

I made a push yesterday to get ahead on the work for my part-time job so will spend more time on eBay listings, and I have several social events this week. I'm thinking it's still a good idea to wear the face masks; this month my son's partner and my sister both caught COVID when participating in group events. (My sister was at a family member's 50th wedding anniversary celebration that may have consequences - a lot of older folks attended. Fingers crossed that wasn't a super-spreader event.)

Dorothy, how are you feeling? Did you finish the address changes you were working on?

It's getting close to Patty moving into her new house. I hope there are some good stories ahead (of good news, not disasters!)

We haven't heard from Jon in a long time. How is everyone at your home? Are the care workers all keeping things humming for you and your family?

Who else is lurking?
