Good news - overnight the oil was absorbed into the granola uniformly so it isn't soggy. It is good, and mostly seeds and nuts. It's a great source of fiber so I use a bit of it every day, trying to stay under 30 grams of carbs but about half the time landing in the 30-60 grams range. That's still way lower than the typical Western diet.

A note on an earlier conversation - some part of this new way of eating, whether the high protein or no-wheat part, does help my finger nails. They're much stronger now (in addition to the toe fungus nail cleared up).

The rain chance is increasing and the temperature dropping this week. Our next few days are in the low-to-mid 90s, and next week maybe into the low-80s. That's very nice for early September. Extended forecast is higher again, but we'll take what we can get. I have some things to put in the garden to grow for fall and winter, and may finally have good conditions for it.

Yesterday was a replay of a sewing program on PBS that I really wanted a copy of, but can't find a way to get it online. So I recorded 17 minutes with my phone then uploaded to my Outlook account. Unfortunately the upload continued after I left the house WiFi to go to the store so my phone company alerted me that I've gone way over the amount I try to stay under. It's going to cost me an extra $12 on the phone bill this month, but the program was worth it. (I could buy the whole series on DVD for about $50, but this was the only bit so far I wanted.)

I revised a few eBay listings this week, each slightly downward by just a couple of dollars. Sometimes that's all it takes to finally nudge sales. The sewing machine is getting views (and on any of these things all it takes is one - the right one - to make the sale.)
