Or should that be unsweetened 16?

Another day. Nothing fundamentally altering.

The drive to work was amazing this morning. Clear skies, beautiful full view of the mountains with Alpine Glow. Inspiring.

Cheese stake sandwiches again, we just enjoyed them so much.

The drive to work…

Mt. Redoubt across Cook Inlet

15 days instead of years.

I worked hard and diligently today.

We had butter chicken and brown rice with Israeli salad for dinner.

A few golden figs for dessert.

I feel about the same. Easier to breathe but still some congestion. I’m not exhausted at the end of the day but I’m ready for bed now.

Making progress.

Today marks two weeks since I’ve had anything with added sugars or booze. So far, so good. I feel like I’m not as tired by mid-afternoon. More energy is always a good thing.

Today is a lazy day. Watching the playoffs, maybe getting some food prep done for this week. Maybe doing some laundry. Maybe. Maybe not. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thing 2 went outside and found a moose shed this morning. Pretty nifty find! I wonder if the other one is nearby? We’ll have to look once the snow melts.

Panda and I went for a little walk-about. She had fun playing in the snow.

Snow Dog

How ’bout them KC Chiefs?!?! What a great game.

Steak & cheese melts for dinner. I know, not on the anti-inflammatory diet but oh so good.










Best game ever!! Even better that KC won!!






Wearing my new hat on a little winter walk with my doggo.

I don’t know what all the fuss is about the number 13. It’s always been normal for me.

It warmed up and rained on all our fresh snow last night which made for an ice rink in our driveway and a one-way only hill.👇🏼 So we stayed home from service. Enjoying a relaxed start to our day. Hopefully catching up on much needed rest.

Since I fully stocked the kitchen yesterday I feel like making all the foods. Eating all the fruits. And making some sort of bougie NA, no added sugar drink. I’ve got grapefruit seltzer, grapefruits… Hmmm. Off to check Pinterest for recipes.

Here it is, fresh squeezed grapefruit, juice of half a lime, salted rim and grapefruit seltzer over ice. Tasty!

Cold sandwiches and leftovers for lunch.

Pizza for dinner.

Life is good.






When I checked the mailbox yesterday I found this lovely handmade hat with a fox pom. (By Rachel @Hibernation Textiles) No card (oops, there was a card, I just missed it!), just a surprise gift. I think I  know who sent it tho. 😉 Sneaky friend.

Today was a good day. We scored a used wood stove for the cabin to replace the old leaky one out there. Not only did the nice gentleman deliver it but he unloaded it too. It’s reassuring to know there are still those out there that go the “extra mile”.

We got off work early since Dean has to do snow removal tonight. Which allowed me to take care of banking and get the groceries before Shabbat. And I found a whole box of oranges & grapefruit for $10. Score!!

Feeling a little more energy today.

Then we had a nice, quiet dinner with candles.

Sound asleep, paws in the air, don't care.
