Still Standing My Ground

Cream Cheese and Bacon Mushrooms
Orchard House, Caldwell, ID

Stress is still a nemesis in my life. Work pressures have escalated, and I was in a car accident 2 Thursdays ago. I have not received a definite answer as to whether MamaKia will be fixed or totaled. In the meantime, I am tweaking my low-carb regime and exploring vocational options that are closer to home.

It is frustrating to have experienced something that worked beautifully only to have it shipwreck in a crisis—and not because I stopped doing what I knew to do. The best news is that my weight is headed in the right direction again, even when the scale gets stuck on one number for a series of days.

I have not signed up for deprivation. Except for an occasional reset through intermittent fasting, I am still enjoying the adventurous low-carb fare.

I spent my Sunday afternoon in the Caldwell vineyard country. The Orchard House patio offered a pleasant mix of shade, breeze, and sunshine. Music from the ’70s had me oscillating in my chair. There was even a Conversation Jar should I get tired of talking to myself.
