1/19

I'm not sure how I got to the end of the first month of my new calendar so soon. This week at work went fast. I've got a little carpal tunnel pain from taking notes at depositions. I'm hoping to find my courage and direct it toward the proper scary things.

The bit of advice I didn't give today by text is don't take on a lover who is unsuitable for a long term relationship unless they are really good at sex.

We celebrated the new year of the Pig this week. I guiltily confess that I ate pork to celebrate. But other than that and an errant piece of chicken at a potluck, I went without meat for 2019 so far. I ate a lot of beans at first but I haven't adapted to replacing meat with legumes. I'm still eating fish, seafood, cheese and eggs. I'm watching the Great British Baking Show, thinking about pastries and cake but not eating any so far. Maybe this weekend when it snows I should try a black forest cake. Chocolate, cherries, whipped cream
