Well, the season of complete gluttony is now past, and I am left with a barely dwindling pile of Christmas goodies. Chocolates, nuts, cookies, candies are piled on the counter to attract my eye at inappropriate times, especially at 10 PM when I'm watching Northern Exposure (I feel like I need the extra calories to protect me against the cold Alaskan winters). They call out to me too during the day. Although I really, REALLY love them, I am sort of anxious for them to be gone. Honestly, I have clothes warm enough to get me through the winter, I don't need the extra layer of fat. Thankfully we also have 26 steps up to the apartment, and I usually go up and down several times daily. We are also continuing our walks around town. Yesterday we walked to the dry cleaners, the Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop, and ventured down to the VFW to inspect the tank in their front yard. I also discovered Chocolate Mint Tea at Giant Eagle, which has plenty of caffeine from the Assam and Congou black tea leaves in it for that late afternoon crash, and also spearmint to perk me up and chocolate to calm the cravings. Mmmmm...lo-cal chocolate, who would have thought?
Warm thoughts...T
