And once again this thread reminds me: there is a big International Folk Dance party tonight and I must decide whether to give up my parking spot so I can go. ....

Light BF for R today and my usual then he went off to get things done. Of course we did not get to the cafe last night as he was doing things and came home about 8. Gave him a nice salad and it took him an hour to eat it. When I brought the next plate of food, he was totally asleep! (10 pm) I told him, "Go to bed" and he did. He can have that supper tonight. I had also made myself a small plate but saved it for lunch today. I feel as though I am eating less but forget the scale - at the mill. And after posting yesterday "eating fewer cookies", I ate some cookies!

I walked to library today and brought back 3 novels and one book on food allergies and one on disciplining children. Spent part of aft on FB and deleting and part on little things around the house - apples are washed and ready to cut and cook, mini ironing board and iron are found and ready to do iron on patching, needle and thread ready to mend night gown. Pots still need to be trimmed; I realized I would not get to it yesterday and wrapped them well. Maybe tomorrow.

An hour phone talk with Montreal friend last night - we made a new list of things to be done - plastic on windows so pollution, and cold!, stay out, clean Bathroom of roofing tar so I can take a hot bath without being poisoned, get the BR cleared so it can be used. These are all R-do things so it will take time but I have started suggesting and need to be patient while he deals with all the other things on his agenda. Hannah, same age as my son (55 today - Hannah; son's was on 5th), has been telling me how to run my life for about 40 years! She, like my son, has good ideas so I enjoy her support and, sometimes, brow-beating.

Another hour phone call with dear friends at a distance this morning, just catching up.

Not going to dance. Keep my parking until tomorrow when I will go pick up a big lot of bubble wrap from Craigslist/free then do some grocery shopping, maybe get a small poinsettia, plastic for the windows, good fresh apple juice.... And hope for parking when I get home!!
