Thursday

• Crazy-high winds last night knocked over a tree and left us without power until 11:30 this morning.
• It was 18 degrees outside when I got up and 52 degrees in the house. So that’s fun.
• The linemen were working on the lines until about 10pm and then just WENT HOME.
• Where I come from, they stay working on those downed power lines all night–it is NOT acceptable to leave people without power (and heat) when it is cold out!! Hrmph.
• In other news, I leave for my trip back to Nebraska TONIGHT!! It was cheaper and closer for me to drive to Montreal (2 hours away) than Syracuse (2.5 hours) and then fly out at 5:30am to Omaha ($310 vs. $610). So I am heading up tonight to get some rest and then head to The Good Life. I cannot wait!
• I am finding the science of losing weight fascinating. My body does NOT need/like a lot of carbs, so on the days that I am lower, the scale goes down. If I go higher (like 20-30 grams more than the day before) I shoot up a pound or two. 
• Yes, I weigh myself every day. Don’t @ me about this. It works for me. Constant Vigilance!!
• I am finally seeing some scale movement, so that’s pretty cool too.

Ok, have a great rest of your week, friends!
