It’s rainy here today and tomorrow, so I’ll concentrate on inside stuff. No errands to run, other than getting the mail at some point, so nice spans of time to get things done.
Yesterday I finished cleaning up after all the furor over ‘someone’ leaving bloody puddles on Amber’s dog bed in the utility room. This has been a long process of cleaning things over and over, but we finally got Amber’s bed aired out sufficiently and enough washings of the covers, to put things back together. I also hosed out the 4 pieces of Abby’s litter box, though being and inside/outside cat, she doesn’t use it much. I think we’re finished now with the cleanup.
I had a really nice chat with our son. He lives across the world from us, and is able to live how he wants to – no happier thing possible, as far as we’re concerned. He has a private language tutor, and he says he’s making really good progress now. His tutor and he have real conversations now, with his tutor then telling him phrases, or jargon, etc. to make his conversations more natural to the natives there. He’s meditating and has a site where he guides people into the practice. He has three languages on his phone and is on call to interpret or help others trying to communicate better. He is making music with his instruments or electronic gadgets. He is living in his condo, but plans on also having a house built out of the city at some point. A rich, full life. I’m SO glad to see it!
Sunday we marked 7 weeks since my husband broke his collarbone. I almost forget that he’s still healing, since he’s doing so well. I’m still watching him like a hawk, but we seem to be over the hump now.
I hit the 21-pounds off mark this morning, so I’m feeling I’m on the right track with my low-carb diet and my yoga practice. Tonight, for example, we’re having leftover spaghetti. My husband is actually having spaghetti with the sauce I made. I’m having the sauce over zoodles. The fact that I can have the sauces and things I make either over zucchini (zoodles) or cauliflower (cauli-rice) really helps me. I’m also eating a Mission Zero Tortilla in place of the dinner roll I used to eat from the deli. I’m making recipes from Suzanne Ryan’s Simply Keto cookbook. I haven’t found a recipe we don’t like yet. My husband is eating the frozen dinners I recently bought, thinking that, since they were high protein, they were on my diet. NOT! They are way too high in carbs for me. Next time I buy some frozen dinners, I WILL READ THE LABELS!
Hope you’re doing well today.

What an interesting post! I know you are extremely proud of and happy for your son, even though you probably would like to see him more often. At least you can communicate on the computer.
Happy that your husband is healing quite nicely, as I am sure you are, too. It is difficult to watch someone we love suffer.
Congratulations on your continued weight loss. Keep going!
Hope you enjoy your evening.

I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the post, Donna. Things are getting better and it’s a big relief. I just finished cat-loving time. Abby purred – something she didn’t start until recently. I can FEEL the purr and sometimes I can hear it, too. She seems to enjoy our special time. Our son set things up before he left so we have a secure chat program so we can share thoughts, pics, questions, etc. He also set up a conference call program so that we can see each other and talk real time – assuming we’re all up and functional at the same time. There is 12 hours difference – 13 hours some times of the year – between us so it’s hard. I think we communicate more than a lot of people do who live in the same town. I’m very thankful he wanted to do that. Thanks for writing and I hope you enjoy your evening, too.
