Unusual to have this much thunder this late in the year but yeah: storms Sunday night, Monday morning, and Tuesday night, more rain forecast tonight and tomorrow. But the garbage is out and the leaf detritus got into a bag, and the downstairs is vacuumed even if I didn't get to the kitchen floor. Also have vodka and kahlua to see me through the muggy owies attendant on same. Ages back my cousin said the secret to losing weight was black Russians and cheese dreams (American cheese slices- ugh-, tomato slice, bacon if desired, on top of white sliced bread, under the broiler until cheese blisters-- cheese slices don't melt-- essence of non-food but still the comfort food of childhood.) The missing ingredient in that was was 'unhappy love affair' which in my case I have not got. But weighed myself this morning after chickening out for over a month and discovered that I'm five or six pounds down instead of up. Prudence suggests that the indulgence of last week simply hasn't registered yet on my slow metabolism, but gardening and housework counts as exercise and I've been doing both.
Finished only a Charles Lenox, Burial at Sea, and a mystery by that guy with four or five pseudonyms whose real last name was Street, though I think this one was under the John Rhodes moniker. Continue on with Terra Nostra, wondering how in heaven's name I read it not once but twice in my 30s; dip into Walpole occasionally; have another Lenox on the tablet and a hardcover mystery from the library; am close to getting the sequel to St. Death's Daughter and will drop everything when that comes in.
And will continue to sleep with the window AC because it's cool and dry and our overnight temps are nothing of the sort.

Well done on shedding some pounds!

Sorry for the deficiencies of your present diet. To be fair, I think cheese dreams are best savored in retrospect than in the present.
