I LOST 5 LBS!!!!!

I got up this morning when I woke up--about 9 am or so; the first time in several weeks (or longer) that I just let the sun wake me up :-)  What a gorgeous day!  Sunny and probably in the mid-50s.  Lots of errands today, so I'd better get started...  I need to find my Sterling checkbook, since I have a couple of cheques to write:  1 for the rest of my Christmas Market trip in December and one for a quantity of rat-tail silver a lady I met on Portobello Road has been hunting down for me.  Then I have to do the paperwork for my new bicycle...  Another L425 or so.  I need to do my grocery shopping (or at least the non-Commissary part) and run by the Ripley butcher shop for 4 4-ounce tenderloin steaks.  The recipe called for a lb of sirloin, cut into 4 oz portions, but I'm doing the tenderloin.  It's tastier and I'm not a big fan of sirloin.  That's all my mom ever did and it was frequently 'livery'; I saw an episode of "Good Eats" and Alton Brown explained why that happens, but I forget why.

Anyway, I'm having a bowl of porridge and I'll have a big glass of water to start re-hydrating and I'm off!

Later...  I got most of my errands done, although I need to pick up the cheque for my bike tomorrow.  I had a roast beast sandwich for lunch with several glasses of water.  I am currently baking 3 potatoes; 1 for dinner tonight and the other 2 for dinner on this long set of graves.  When the potatoes are almost done, I'll nuke some brocolli, then add salsa and some queso.  I think I'll have some raspberries while I wait :-)
