Last night I had the first real meal I've had since I got my braces put on November 2nd. I actually had a small salad (I do chop the lettuce leaves a bit smaller, but still - I missed my nightly salad), also small bowls of roasted butternut squash and some roasted heirloom carrots (cut small since carrots are a tough veggie to chew and digest sometimes). I also actually cut my chicken instead of mincing it. I'm ridiculously pleased that I was able to eat everything easily. Of course I cleaned my teeth like crazy afterward because braces catch everything and I'm trying to eliminate the possibility of dental cavities for my future.

Apparently there is a "Real Food" movement. Who knew? It looks pretty similar to my WildFit dies - lots of natural foods, but the Real Food movement also allows for some processed foods like breads and cheeses which I don't allow into my personal diet. Still, it can't possibly harm people if they returned to a more sensible way of interacting with food. |
We were hoping to stream a show on Egyptian archaeology last night, but it's unavailable for another week or two. So he ended up playing Bridge on his phone and cursing at the game constantly, and I ended up solving puzzles on mine, while some stupid program played in the background that we both ignored. I think I was asleep within a minute of my head hitting the pillow.

I realized this morning that the other skin suit I purchased was the Leopard Shark, not the Tiger Shark I had posted yesterday. So I have spots, not stripes today. It's a lovely suit, a bit heavier material than the Sea Turtle, so it's nice and cozy for those cold mornings. |
Today is the final swimming day for the week, and I'm wearing the Leopard Shark skin suit today. It fits like a dream and it's a bit thicker fabric than the Sea Turtle I was wearing yesterday. I'll get a lot of use from both of them. It'll be nice to be away from the chlorine for a few days, though. It always plays havoc with my skin, actually causing the skin of my fingers to crack open sometimes which can be quite painful. Still, that's not enough to make me quit swimming. I love the sport too much to let those minor inconveniences and pains to stop me from being in the pool three days a week.

I was worried that I would have to build snow shoveling into my very busy day yesterday, but it didn't snow at all after DH shoveled in the morning. However, glancing out today, I'll have to shovel either before leaving for the gym, or right after I return from there. It doesn't look like much, but we're diving down into very cold temps today too, so it's going to stick around. |
It looks like I might have a little shoveling to do this morning before I leave. It'll depend on whether it's actively snowing, or if it looks like it'll stay clear for an hour or two. If clear, I'll shovel. If it's snowing, I'll probably blow it off until just before I leave for the shop. I'd rather not shovel it twice if I can help it.

We've had a Black Friday sale for decades. It's the one time of the year when we have deep discounts across the board (except for our antique Native American silver and turquoise jewelry). With that small exception, absolutely everything else in the store is deep discounted. We'll have to see how we do this year, but I'm bracing for a disappointing numbers. |
So, have a fabulous Thursday. I'll be working on my Black Friday/Small Business Saturday sale email and sending that out to my list today. Sales have been very disappointing and DH is very unhappy. Me? I knew this was coming. If we had closed when I wanted, we wouldn't be dealing with this added stress. He'll be out shopping for a turkey today, though. Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! OMG! I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
