Woo Hoo!  Down another lb for a TOTAL of 50 lbs!  It's another wet, overcast day and my knee is very unhappy; my only consolation is that it would be A LOT unhappier if it was supporting that lost 50 lbs!  (There's always a silver lining in there somewhere!)

I've been getting a veggie box delivered since I got back almost 3 years ago--and up until 3 weeks ago, I was very happy with this.  But then my route got a new driver and things have generally gone to pot!  The new guy has managed to leave the boxes in the wrong place and he hasn't picked up the past week's box(es) in all that time, so I'm getting a huge collection of boxes which are getting ruined in all the rain we've been having.  I've called every week to let them know he's getting it wrong--and not picking up the empties--but so far, no joy.  I think I'm going to block off the place he's been using and leave a sign with very explicit directions for Friday's delivery.  What an idiot!  If he would just look up when he sets down the box, he would see where it belongs.  At this point, I'm hoping I don't see him on Friday because he won't like what I have to say!

The Phoenix Players are doing their annual variety show tonight so I'm off to see that.  Happily, it's a PV (protein and veggie) day, so I'm going to have dinner out at the Turkish Baths Chinese Restaurant in Harrogate before the show.  As long as I give the rice and/or noodles a miss, I'll be OK.  I start back on my day shifts on Sunday morning, but it's only 3 days this time since I took the last one off for my Betty's class--the Spice Box 2.  Should be yummy!
