I don't have my mammogram til tomorrow; don't know why it was originally scheduled today. It will be back-to-back with a bone density scan early tomorrow. We have reservations for Chef Christian's Fish House in the evening. Food: 7:55 am 127 g raspberry paczki, 103 g blackberries, coffee

Wed 4 Mar

Going to sit with Leone this morning while Mick goes to pick up his new car! He is leasing, I believe from a place in Wausau. He was already able to sell his old car for parts for $400 and get it out of the way yesterday, so he's ready to go. His friend, Jeff, is taking him up to get the new wheels. This will be my first visit with Leone since returning from Spain. Mick said she had a little fall yesterday, but was checked out by the hospice nurse and seems okay, if a little sore. Won't get to gym, but since Nichol is gone and they're offering Hard Core Strength, I wouldn't have gone anyway. Food: 7:15 am 115 g plum ponczka, 105 g blacbkerries, coffee

Tues 3 Mar

Breaking into the paczki from KD in Chicago. Ate the poppy seed and cinnamon rolls first. Had one of their grilling sausages on the grill last night. Labs this morning to see how the citrus bergamot is performing on my cholesterol. Food: 8:40 am 163 g black currant paczki, 103 g blackberries, coffee

Mon 2 Mar

It will be very nice to get a new furnace and have the house comfortably heated again. We are most fortunate that the gas fireplace is so effective in throwing out heat, and also that the temperatures are supposed to moderate quite a bit this week. Back to One Big Tent today; it will be nice to return. Also back to choir practice tonight; that will also be nice. Food: 7:45 am 101 g cinnamon roll, 103 g blackberries, coffee

Sun 1 Mar

March already. Belt's opens on Friday, Daylight Savings time returns next Sunday. The year marches on. The furnace has pretty much died, only blows the fan to circulate what heat is thrown off by the fireplace and occasionally the space heaters. The bathroom was chilly this morning and the hot water from the shower gave off clouds of steam. Coldest Night of the Year was a resounding success last night. We earned over $35,000 for One Big Tent. Food: 7:45 am 104 g cinnamon roll, 106 g blackberries, coffee

Sat 28 Feb

Coldest Night of the Year tonight. I'm thrilled that I've raised $450, with only $100 coming from me. I'm so delighted that some of the folks I talked to came through for us. We are already over $30,000 in earnings for the fundraiser which will be a tremendous boost to our budget. Food: 7:45 124 poppy seed roll, 106 g blackberries, coffee

Fri 27 Feb

Good to be back at Bootstrap yesterday. Another session of Body Pump this morning. Got to remember to set it on my watch because it did not give me any exercise credit on Wed. Will be good to see what it does today. Food: 7:50 am 123 g poppy seed roll, 104 g blackberries, coffee
