59Carol's Journal, 15 Jul 23

I lost 2.4 pounds of the 3.4 pounds that I gained last week. Going in the right direction at least.

Actually I am impressed since I ate 3 breakfasts in town and 4 lunches in town. This often results in a weight gain. For breakfast I went to Ricky's for avocado toast which comes with 1 poached egg. Delicious and according to the nutritional information on line it is 300 calories. For lunch I went to Subway for a roasted chicken salad for two times and to the local coffee shop for the other two times where I also get myself a homemade date bar to go with my sandwich.

I have hit upon a snack/dessert which really has been appealing to me. I take an original rice cake (35 calories) and spread one wedge of Laughing Cow cheese (25 calories) then if I am being really decadent I put a little bit of dried dates on it with a sprinkle of sliced almonds. I also have put sliced tomato with salt and pepper which is also good.

This week has been chock full. Monday morning my friend came to help at my father-in-law's for 2 days. Very kind of her as she lives 2.5 hours away.

Monday night a 45 foot Manitoba Maple tree fell over at my rental unit. There was no wind or storm. Just fell. Likely due to dryness. Also it was a very old tree. I spent Tuesday arranging with insurance and hiring a tree removal fellow. (I still need to hire a roofer to fix the roof damage) I also met with the plumber that morning who is working at adding a furnace to my other rental unit - supposed to have a separate furnace for each unit. Discovered that my original furnace needs replacing. All before noon on Tuesday!

I had lunch with two friends on Thursday and a haircut on Friday.

I spent 4 days working 2-6 hours a day at going through his stuff. As of Friday his garage is finally done - it has been literally 3 weeks to get it done. I have stuff arranged on shelves for a garage sale hopefully next weekend. Now to work on the rest of the house. There will be on-going garage sales all summer long. I have hired a friend to do it on commission.

Today I am expecting a friend who has agreed to do an outside art installation in honour of my husband. The artist is someone who is close to both of my children and was a good friend of my husband and myself. We are going to talk actual plans, logistics and money!
