Went over on both carbs and calories today. I'm rethinking my eating times doing IF. I usually eat from around 5-6am until 1-2pm. I'm used to not being hungry at night. But I've been getting up so early and having just coffee anywhere from 4:30-5:30 and nothing to eat until maybe 8 or 9 am, if then. I'm ending up having my last meal before 11am so I get really hungry in the late afternoon. I used to always have some kind of toast with coffee in the morning, whether 1/4 bagel, or half English muffin or toast. Sometimes I'd have a bowl of cereal like Cheerios or Life. But since I'm trying keep carbs under 100 grams a day I'm only having coffee.

The other day I noticed puffiness on the outside of both ankles and it feels like there may be fluid in there. Something else to ask my doctor about next week. I ordered a wedge pillow to keep my legs elevated when laying down. Thought about ordering a walking stick or cane in case I wake up again one day unable to put weight on my knee. Then decided to look for them at CVS or Walgreens.

I got a decent night's sleep last night by keeping 2 of my cats out of the bedroom. They were happy enough sleeping in the guest room with a heated throw on the bed. I still had Bobby and one cat. Bobby sometimes wants to burrow under the quilt but knows to go to the very end of the bed and not lean against me. Tony the cat will sleep without budging until morning. Hope to do the same thing tonight so I can sleep until at least 5am.

I will go over 100 grams of carbs today, pretty sure. The total for oatmeal cooked with milk and topped with a sliced banana and chopped walnuts is very filling and seems perfect for another rainy day, but it has about 65 carb grams. I may also make a cup of hot chocolate. Not sure that I'll eat much more than the oatmeal. I had 1 or 2 tablespoons of applesauce to help me swallow a pill. I have the hardest time with them.

Hoping to take it easy 2 or 3 days to give my knee another rest. I may have been doing too much and it's hurting more. I talked yesterday to my youngest sister who lives in Phoenix about maybe needing knee surgery. She said could come out to help me for a few days if I need her. Not a few weeks but several days is possible. That would be a big help. Still hope to avoid surgery, but that might not be possible.

I put a little saucer of half and half out last night on the little rug for porch kitty. I know the fox and the skunk wouldn't drink it. I checked at 2am and it was still there. But just after 4am it was gone. Yes, I had a lousy night sleeping thanks to my 22 pound cat! Didn't see Porch Kitty and there is a big pretty tabby tom cat that comes by once in awhile.

The wind was crazy last night! Today is garbage pickup day. I was surprised at how many of my neighbors put their containers last night. And sue enough when I got up this morning to take my containers to the curb I saw all the neighbor's containers had blown over and there is trash everywhere. Just took Bobby for a quick walk since the rain has paused. Didn't see any tree had fallen but lots of branches, including from 2 huge pine trees on each side of my driveway. Other than that just lots of puddles. We didn't get as much as rain as the coast did. My rain gauge shows under 2 inches.

Hope to get back to eating right today. Scrambled eggs this morning with mushrooms and a little cheddar cheese. Will probably make the Asian chicken salad for my 2nd and last meal of the day. Will also make oatmeal for tomorrow and Wednesday although I might have that instead of the salad later today.

Right now I am trying to ignore my knee issue. It just aches a little and I had no problem walking Bobby for 20 minutes. The thought of any surgery just upsets me right now, so denial it is!

I haven't seen Porch Kitty for about 3 weeks. I've been feeding him/her for over 3 years. In all that time she never got tame. She would wait at the top of the porch steps on the other side of the gate and not come get her food until I came back inside and shut the door. She started missing breakfast about 3 times a week awhile ago and no longer seemed to like the canned food I gave her for breakfast and dinner. Instead she waited for me to put out Temptations cat treats and half and half. The she stopped showing up during rainy days. I had a feeling someone else was feeding her or if she was actually someone's cat (probably only allowed in the garage), maybe they moved. I hope nothing happened to her. I still have a little rug on the
porch that she would lay on sometimes.

I have had a bad couple of weeks. I didn't even weigh myself last Sunday, just entered the same weight. I bought molasses cookies before my appointment at the orthopedist on Friday and then afterwards I stopped on the way home and bought more bad stuff, including Hawaiian dinner rolls and things I won't confess to. Hope to get back on track tomorrow. I did get Brussels sprouts, mushroom, onion, and spinach for a stir fry and a bag of Taylor Farms steakhouse wedge salad mix. That's good for 3 Asian chicken salads next week.

Waiting for a huge storm later today with "damaging" winds overnight. I've moved everything off the deck. Don't like sleeping in front of the sliding glass door when it's that windy, when trees are blowing down and branches go flying. I may sleep on the sofa, the family room has no window. It's raining now, nothing else.

On my knee issue I change my mind every 5 minutes. Although I need a 2nd opinion and talk to my primary care doctor (my doctor for the last 10 years) before beginning to make a decision. Right now I'm at the "if I have just a little pain sometimes, why do anything" phase. If it becomes clear I have to do something the next step will be to call the sales agent at the new home development to see where things are in getting the street in for my new house and if I need to delay the process, can that be done. But I'm getting way ahead of myself which is so typical for how I deal with life
