I have not had a weather headache since I started drinking green tea - a specific for such. About 20 years, I guess. They were totally debilitating. (The only pain pills I have taken were after the partial mastectomy.) I have had headaches caused by food or toxins but rarely.

On the last day of January, after the 90 minute phone call with my s-in-l, I took a hot bath. Well, almost hot as I had already filled the tub and had to add more HOT. Then I caught a glimpse of my self in the mirror and ran to the scale. 170 - another 10 # in the last few months.

More changes around here. Less time sitting around in the city and more time potting in the country. The less I do, the more I eat. So do more and eat less sounds good. One day at a time. Worked yesterday; pots got made, pots got trimmed, 2 qts of humus made, and black beans cooked. One pint of humus has salsa added, experimentally. Tasty. Cafe in the eve.

Today: light brekkie and then went with R as he did a couple errands nearby and we stopped at a Fromagerie. They make goat cheese and have a very upscale shop with all manner of exotic jellies, pies, very expensive French mohair socks! and more. R bought a small piece as a special gift for a friend. Came home for black bean soup with Naan. I put the remainder, 2 qts, through the blender - black beans, salsa and some corn niblets. Yummy.

Green beans and organic sausages will be supper. And something for carbs - salad with humus, maybe.

I was achey from yesterday's work but it went away over night! But my hands are a bit sore. I hope I can get back to it tomorrow.
