We bought a blue spruce and decorated it, but I’m very unhappy with the appearance. Might do something totally different.

It’s weird. I’m bored. I guess I’m getting some energy back and there is only so much housework I can do before I want to tear out my hair.

Still alternate day fasting. It’s getting easier. 3 shakes and one broth yesterday with a little coconut water so about 250 calories. I haven’t worked the gym back into my schedule yet. This week we have Veterans Day, a holiday off, I mean to go up to the cemetery later and visit Dad.

179lbs on the scale. 173 was pre-covid weight, up from 165 which was my typical running weight and I look lean in photos from 165. I had a lot of muscle I suppose. I’m getting one of those turkey chins as old women sometimes do, I might need plastic surgery because I always found those simply the worst.

I went out to Kwis Kwis and photographed mushrooms this week on a clear pretty day, however — last time I shot macro with the Canon camera I had different glasses and now I absolutely need readers on in addition to glasses. So a lot of my photos didn’t turn out this time. A man was on the trail and as soon as I looked up my nose suddenly ran. Ack, it was a week of embarassing things.

ma fav red wood log in the woods. Used to be a lot of these but thy were all cut down decades ago.
