The weather outside was frightful

Sleet, ice crystals, rain, and slush all yesterday. Then either it rained all night and melted the accumulation or my good neighbour scraped it all off, because the sidewalks were clear this morning as far as I could see from my bedroom window. Temps never got down to freezing, as my renewed leaf mould allergy cough reminds me. I still stayed in another day because I was water pilling two days in a row, and having finally debloated can now do stairs without the twinging knees of the last little while. 

I still have to get down to pre-surgery levels again which means among other things no alcohol. Also because if I eat iffy foods, like squash and sweet potato and apples and pears, my insides rebel against the extra burden of wine or vodka. And of course what did I roast yesterday but kabocha and sweet potato-- which last actually caramelizes if you roast it on a baking sheet-- so even without onions or oil, dinner was pretty indigestible last night. Also, as I'd forgotten, weighing less means I hurt less means I don't need to drink alcohol to stop me hurting.

They keep calling for flurries so will get out tomorrow to pick up this and that. Snow is forecast for Thursday and temps will be very cold following that, so best to be prepared. I may have to stay in on Christmas and make my own turkey dinner so better buy a turkey dinner just in case.
