229.2 lbs…

… and now the dog wants to go out, have his treats… the wind is howling… it is raining… i don’t want to take him out… can i get away with not doing that?… let’s see if he gives up, even though i am pretty sure that he wont…

… HCR depressing today… pointing out how ready the current Republicans are to pursue authoritarianism… Newt Gingrich rearing his ugly head…

… the dog wins…

… dogs walked and treated… wind not as bad as i was imagining it… pretty gusty, but not knock-me-off-my-feet gusty…

… i have so much anxiety about the country i live in and those who care only about power, not democracy… it is horrible to be going through this now, at the latter stages of my life… to think that in a few years time life could be very different… the country could be very different… all, or mostly, because of the white male patriarchy… i begin to sound like a broken record…

… that my weight is down almost two pounds today is pleasing to say the least… a two pound loss over 24 hours is mostly water… still, its the right direction since i stopped drinking and became more careful about what i am eating…

… last night i grilled a pork chop which H and i split and roasted a colorful medley of sweet potato, orange bell pepper, and red onion (which really should be called purple onion) with fresh garlic cloves… should have added some rosemary to it, which i had… next time…

… i slept well last night… up once to the bathroom… slept seven hours total which is on the max side for me…
