but, funny thing, the human body has absolutely NO compunction about piling on 5 of them in one 3 day period of bad eating. So off with 8 is not a bad thing, at least in this particular first week.<\/p>\n
We’re holding up very well in the not-getting hungry department. Our diet consists of boiled (steamed) egg with no butter; dab of mayo on half an English muffin. And half a serving of fruit. Lunch is a slice of bread or half a muffin with peanut butter, and fruit; or a helping of tuna instead of the pb. Supper is half of anything we’d normally eat.<\/p>\n
Our great sin is not what so much as how much. And eating too fast. <\/p>\n
We’re going out with friends for the first time since starting this, and we will split a burger and fries. Have our usual drinks. And not sin greatly. <\/p>\n
I would SO love to fit into some of the clothes I’ve refused to get rid of. Jane is the same.<\/p>\n
Weather has moderated—we hit 105 early in the week and are now into the low 80’s. Much nicer.<\/p>\n
Jane’s still fighting the copyedits.I’m working on her notes on the Foreigner book. We’re keeping each other sane. Playing Guild Wars 2 in the evening. Doing it all again tomorrow. At least I’m not having to cook creatively. <\/p>\n
Ever used an egg steamer? Mine from Krups is having thermostat woes, and it’s such a good little unit used ones are going for 150 dollars on Amazon, absolutely nuts. I can make mine work, simply by pulling the plug when it stops steaming (meaning the eggs are done)but I don’t like shot thermostats, and I watch it carefully. I’ve got one coming from Hamilton Beach for 18 dollars that claims to poach eggs as well as boil them. We’ll see.<\/p>\n
But you can say it cuts down on the dishwashing as well.<\/p>\n
The beneficiaries of the copyedit are Jane’s sisters 2 cats, who get to get out in the basement and prowl while she’s working. I’ve gotten one of them to accept being picked up and petted for a bit, but the other is even more suspicious since his brother has started accepting that. So we’re working on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
