Cats in her house or owls in her yard. I wonder if the neighbors behind or beside her know about the fieldmouse project? That's the reason I stopped putting out birdseed, rats and mice do find their way in. My dogs are mousers.

Congratulations on the weight loss; keeping it at the level you want is talked about in the Case for Keto - I hope you can find a nutritionist on the same page with you. I'm going to have to have a similar conversation with my doctor; if I want to stay off of the statins I'll keep to the high fat low carb diet and the "slow carbs" he talked about.

Today I made more of my granola and the recipe is always shifting a little. This time I didn't add the one cup of raisins at the end. I have raisins to use up and some dates also, and after that will keep smaller amounts in the house. They can go in other foods that don't have so many carbs already (granola is pretty high even with very little oatmeal and high number of nuts and seeds.) I store half of the granola in an acrylic jar with a silicone gasket on the counter and the extra goes in a Rubbermaid bin in the freezer.

It seems the whole world is for sale on eBay in bits and pieces; as I move to more glass I'm considering how many of the Rubbermaid containers and lids I want to take out of circulation (keeping only new plastic I know is BPA free) and I see in eBay sold items a bunch of the vintage pieces like what I brought from my dad's house. So I may end up with a bit of extra space in the hall pantry closet if I disassession some of that. They're mementos of my Dad but I don't need all of these to remember his funky kitchen. I have a box of Tupperware for sale right now that hasn't gotten a lot of attention; I may need to repack and remove some of the containers and leave the lids and cute little speciality items, that seems to be what really sells.

My right arm has been a little tender since Friday when I got the current Covid shot; no symptoms to speak of. The flu shot can happen in the first week of October to better align with the arrival of flu. It's a cool humid day and I have some shopping to do so will leave before rush hour clogs my route to the town south of here where I hope that Kohl's has the bras that I like (I got the last one at the store nearest to me last week.) The state of my underwear drawer dictates I make this excursion and toss a few of the tattered ones.
