Diet Coaches/Buddies - Eating was on plan, CREDIT moi, with snacks reduced to reasonable. That occurred because the food is nearly gone but, in the spirit of CBT, I'll take credit anyway. Dinner was the last serving of the leftover ham. It was still quite good. I suspect that part of the joy of ham is the abundance of salt. Went back to my beloved peanut butter and pecans on toasted whole wheat bread for lunch instead of a ham sandwich. Feels a bit like headed toward normal.
Excitement was one more trip to a bank to get a Spousal Wavier Form notarized to unravel the problem created by my friendly financial institution. The nearest branch office remains closed, presumably due to difficulty keeping staff during the pandemic. Learned that the Spousal Waiver Form is used frequently these days - ever since spouses (usually wives) complained that their joint 401K retirement assets were taken without their consent.
onebyone - Yep, waking up hungry is a good thing. Kudos for sticking with your dancing.
Joy (gardenerjoy) - Love, love, love that a local Buy Nothing group on Facebook was used to "borrow" a cup of heavy cream. Maybe civilization will be saved by Facebook even as many are screaming that it's the destroyer of civilization. Neat to have a second festive meal.
maryann - Glad you're on the way home - presumably avoiding the deep snows that seem to be in several places in California at the same time.
Karen (karenrn) - What a perfect house guest.
King Richard looks good. You and your DH need to factor in that he won't be available to make sweets disappear at the office when he retires, LOL.
curlyjax - Neat to see the world through "puppy eyes". This sounds smart,
"I'm really craving something healthy and light."
Penny. - Your wild rice mushroom soup looks great. I wish we'd put wild rice more often in our cooking; it's so much fun.
