hey

hiii

How goes?

eatin breakfast, watching columbo

"Just one more thing"

yup!

Second bfast here.

second breakfast

Pippin,a fool of a Took yet taught us to appreciate life... second breakfasts, and 'they have pints?'

mmm

do I want second coffee?

Tough call. I am mostly on tea these days.

I'm not a coffee drinker myself

eh, I have found I vastly prefer honey in tea to sugar

and it is much easier to sub sugar than honey

Also healthier for you.

I need to cut down on the sodas Sigh

Yes, we all do.

I have been making fresh juices and infused waters, pretty happy with those.

...I have cut down a lot on soda. No sugar soda for two years!

Diet soda, yes. Because cafffffeeeiiiinnnneeeeeee

I'm trying to switch to Dr. Pepper Zero and generic sugarless brands

Just be aware of what they use to make it sweet that is NOT sugar.

Yeah. I have a good tolerance for fake sugars, don't get migraines

I mean... if I have to pick, I pick a natural substance that's not good for me over a chemical that's not good for me. YMMV, $0.02.

Eh, the januvian is gonna kill me long before the sucralose.

Stevia or monkfruit are also heavily processed

I'm afraid for me, I HAVE to take baby steps or I'll never make progress

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Yeah. I think I'll settle for 'better than I was' 😉

the "Zero" pops taste better than the "diets"

but also are more likely to have me take out my soda test strips because it is harder to taste the difference

I just try not to bring it in the house, because I am ultimately lazy and won't go get it if it's not handy.

Work your vices for you!

I don't often have pop in the house, but I do at work

~3 in the afternoon, I need something-something for the last stretch of day

Same. I try to make it a protein food but you have dietary needs.

3 is also usually when I have a carb snack, yes

I am rehabing a rescued hiking backpack. A bit of work but not too difficult.

Needs new straps?

Needed to be CLEANED, new bungee cords, patches, and the zippers waxed.

Aha!

All of it's done except a couple zippers and putting the frame back in.

Nice work

Okay. I need to take some aspirin and take my eyes off the screen. Monster headaches. I'm wondering if part of it is pollen

Hugs Later, ladies

Feel better, Mr. D

Thanks. I do.

Ok, that was a lot of work... but it was a tasty dinner!
