Some reviewers recommend adding sugar, but I did not feel it was necessary.</p><p>I didn’t experience any allergic reaction whatsoever. Nor did my digestion rebel at all.</p><p>These are small and priced by the piece rather than weight.

I've got blueberries and grapes to snack on. And I plan to immerse myself in other activity besides eating. I have only one pair of larger pants, so I especially need to keep my waist from growing. But lately I get bloated even when I drink water -- must be some sort of mild intestinal bug.

In previous years, I've ordered photo cards, which lately featured our cats. But this year, my wife and I bought printed cards.

I'm dissappointed by how my weight, percent body fat and waist size are increasing. But it's understadable given how many sweets I eat after supper. For example, I'll eat several handfuls of milk chocolate baking chips after supper. I wonder, is this the effect of the <a href="https://www.drugs.com/effexor.html" target="_blank">Effexor</a>?

I’m glad I headed out to the grocery stores last night at 6pm. I hesitated to travel at first because I assumed that nearly everyone would be out getting food. But no, the roads and stores were not at all crowded; they were much worse at 3:30pm. <br /><br />I did shop the prior weekend to stock up on vegetables. But I deferred buying the turkey thighs because I figured they’d not last until today.<br /><br />The regular supermarket had no turkey thighs; the butcher said they didn't get many turkey parts this year. Fortunately Whole Foods was well stocked with a variety of turkey parts in vacuum-sealed bags. And when I got home, I went to work on peeling and cubing turnips, then cooking and mashing them.<br /><br />My idea was to arrange a bunch of vegetables in a well-oiled cast iron pan and place the turkey thighs on top. And then I'd roast everything all at once. Indeed, there’s even a recipe online that describes it.<sup>1</sup><br /><br />I included fresh beets (red and golden), parsnips, carrots, Brussel sprouts, garlic, pearl onions (which were a bitch to peel), fennel bulb, plum tomatoes and apples. I placed sprigs of fresh rosemary, sage and thyme on top.<br /><br />To season the turkey, I poured Kosher salt into a dish and then added fresh cracked black pepper, which is the base seasoning recommended by another recipe.<sup>2</sup> I blotted each thigh dry with paper towels and then dredged it in the salt pepper mix. Then I placed them on top of the vegetables, skin side up.<br /><br />I used a pre-heated oven temperature of 375 F and a time of 60 minutes, which worked perfectly. The thighs tested out at 171 F, but they weren’t yet shrunken down and dried out. I turned off the oven and used tongs to remove the turkey so they could rest in a plate at room temperature. Meanwhile I stirred the vegetables and kept them in the oven – the parsnips seemed just a bit hard.<br /><br />The aroma during roasting and the eventual taste were wonderful – the meal surpassed my wildest expectations! I hate Brussel sprouts but I included them because every meal should have something bitter to interrupt the tendency to be glutenous. But even they turned out scrumptious because, by design, they soaked up the fat from the turkey.<div><br /></div><div>Aside from the store-bought pecan and pumpkin pies and the butter in the turnips, the meal was totally low carb and paleo.<br /><div><br />

<br />
The loan amount exceeds my first mortgage, and the monthly payment is about 30% more than the mortgage and real estate tax combined. The loan schedule estimates that it will be paid off in ten years. I'll be 70 years old!

But this time it's a very small dose -- 50mg. This is just one-third of the standard dose for folks with daytime sleepiness who are being treated for sleep apnea. It has the effect of slowing down time, and I actually don't feel like vegetating in a nursing home any more. I am drinking some coffee and tea (with caffiene) but not having bouts of severe anxiety.

I found two really old, dismal, ratty-looking shorts at the bottom of a drawer today, so I'll wear those and make a trip to Goodwill to look for more.

I was just in the store wondering if I should buy more. But then I told myself, "No, we have a few jars to go through." So scary and strange.

I feel I deserve to devour crunchy chips and crackers. What happened to eating mindfully?

This means that folks like me who've been working from home need to transition back to the office. I don't mind working, but getting myself ready for working and then driving to and from the office is exhausting. Then there's the audaciousness of them saying that the pandemic is over that puts a crimp in my neck.

It's a good way to maintain my lower weight. As well, we finally had some snow accumulate that necessitated shoveling. The extra activity seemed to boost my metabolism.
