Tuesday

Seems later in the week than that - not sure why, but it does.  I would like it to be Wednesday, as Elizabeth arrives for a short stay on Wednesday, but it's not - yet.

Yesterday's eating:

• scrambled eggs
• bacon
• tea with cream
• cheese snack
• mini meatloaf made with potato starch
• salad with blue cheese dressing
• ice tea
• chocolate covered fruit of various sorts
• walnuts
• pecans and cheese spread

Still 142.2 this morning, and a little unsettled in the digestive area.  I can't identify anything I've been eating recently that would cause upset, unless it was Saturday's corn-products "binge".  Seems a bit unlikely.

Our dogs love tomatoes - we know this because they beg while we are making salads.  We also know this because I caught one of them red-mouthed at the tomato plants in the back yard last night.  That might explain some rather scanty harvests over the past couple of years.  When that part of the yard was an overgrown butterfly garden and the tomatoes were rather hard to get to, we got lots.  Last year, we sodded the area over, and suddenly, the harvest dwindled.  I thought the practically brand-new garden mix soil had been depleted, but apparently the problem was of animal origin.  So now we know.  And have surrounded those plants with wire mesh.
