I had guests over for lunch today, and as this was a regular eating day I had a bit of everything. And a small chocolate bar from Aldi (sea salt and dark chocolate - mmmm!) as an early birthday present. I don't exactly do a "birthday month" like some folks I know, but I'll let it bleed into a couple of weeks either side for special occasions that come my way. Along those lines I updated my fitness tracker because the old one wasn't tracking everything; the old one has been demoted to just tracking steps in an ankle band at the gym and the new one is for everyday wear.

Another special purchase may be a couple of 3/4 sleeve cotton tops in my new smaller size if I can find any. Lots of too-large clothes are going into the recycle bin, or onto the closet shelf (because unused or thrift store clothing gets used for material when making sewing projects when they're good colors and fabrics.) Anyway, my birthday isn't a fasting day. Good thing because I'm thinking a nice pasta dish for lunch.

I hope your cellulitis clears up quickly. As far as health concerns here, after the knee surgery I'm feeling good and am sleeping without pain through the night now, which is the last hurdle after bone surgery. However, I have an ex who isn't taking his health as seriously as he should - he has never accepted that he has developed seasonal allergies and suffers through horrible stuffy sinuses because he won't take any 24-hour allergy medication. He's needlessly making himself uncomfortable. It's time to convince him to have a heart-to-heart with his physician about this, if he won't listen to me. (I learned 20 years ago that my sinus infections were the result of untreated allergies and once I started treating them I haven't had the huge snot-producing headaches with nose-blowing, drainage, and coughing.) You live in a place long enough, you become allergic to parts of it, or so it seems.
