Thurs 30 Apr

Back to Bootstrap today. Have missed several times with vacations, with a couple more ahead, but still always glad to be there. Actually, I think they are closing down next week to replace carpeting, so I'll have another week off. Food: 7:50 am 103 g apricot paczki, 101 g blackberries, coffee

Wed 29 Apr

Potluck tonight with the church musicican crew. Making ramen salad since I didn't get to make it for Holy Thursday. Bought all the ingredients from memory at Woodman's Sunday, so hoping I didn't forget anything. Body Pump this morning followed immediately by Spanish group, so a busy day. Food: 7:50 am 109 g raspberry paczki, 106 g blackberries, coffee

Tues 28 Apr

Free day today. Will try to sort through the stuff that sat on top of the file cabinets, and maybe even the stuff inside the file cabinets, to see what I can get rid of and to organize what remains. Will also try to get some exercise in. Food: 7:45 am 120 g black currant paczki, 101 g blackberries, coffee

Mon 27 Apr

Home again, home again! Good to be back safely and in familiar surroundings. Weight was up, so I'll have to be attentive to limiting excess eating and be more diligent with exercise again. OBT this afternoon, heavy choir rehearsal this evening. Rain predicted pretty much all day, so probably can't walk to OBT. Need to get to the library to straighten out access to online since they did an update. Food: 7:50 am 111 g Bavarian creme paczki, 101 g blackberries, coffee

Sat 11 Apr

The day has come! We are leaving to drive to Chicago to catch our plane to St. Martin soon. Should be there by suppertime, God willing. I sincerely hope everything goes smoothly with travel and all are safe. Food: 2:15 am 72 g hot cross bun, 49 g raspberries, coffee

Fri 10 Apr

Woke up with a feeling that I shouldn't go to the gym today, so I decided to listen to my gut. I will do a little exercise here and there around the house, but give my body a break before travel. Had a lovely evening with Michael and Taylor having wine and vegan cheese and good conversation last night. Spanish group and laundry is enough for today, with needing to go to bed very early to be up at 1:30 am for travel. Food: 8:00 am Wildberry protein oats, 1/2 c skim milk, 93 g raspberries, coffee

Thurs 9 Apr

Wow, the time is passing quickly before our trip! I think I'm in pretty good shape with being ready, and hopefully whatever else needs to be done will come to mind in time to take care of it. Michael and Taylor are coming over this evening for our wine and cheese "supper" for Easter, at least hopefully they are coming. It will be nice to spend a little time with them before we leave. Food: 7:50 am 111 g orange cinnamon roll, 106 g blackberries, coffee
