Beauty is....

watching what must have been fifty or sixty tundra swans fly home at sunset, as red tinged the mountain. Wish I had had my camera....

8 days have slipped by...

wow.

Been busy being sick with weather changes -arthritis and a growing digestive problem. Feels like I'm trying to cut an ulcer again. I hate it. It's like a little monster in the tummy that's always asking to be fed. So far, I've been staving it off, but I still am eating a bit more than in my optimal weight loss range.

With this, and the cold weather, I've been yoyo-ing between 190 and 194 lbs, over and over. Not bad for the holidays, but not what I want.

Today I made cabbage soup. Cabbage can help an achy tummy lining. Mostly I've been sitting in front of the fireplace, or the computer, in woolies and longjohns trying to keep my joints warm enough so they don't hurt. And I have just been feeling cold. And old. And sick.

Tea and cabbage soup and prilosec. That's the menu today. sigh.
