• 09:32 Today: No nuts, seeds, whole grains, fresh fruit or vegetables...
• 09:32 Tomorrow: Clear liquid diet...
• 09:33 Friday: Colonoscopy (first one, completely routine). One of the many joys of being 50+
• 19:41 Trying to be creative for liquid diet tomorrow. Gelled up some seasoned chicken broth and of course some fruit juice...
• 19:43 Tossing some fruit juice into the ice cream maker for "sorbet" so at least I'll have some texture variation.
• 19:47 The clear liquid "menus" I found are kinda funny - I mean, there isn't much you can really do here other than broth, jello, and juice.

• 07:32 I'm 0-2 on holiday knitting projects. 2 projects that seemed like they'd be cute but turned out not to be. At all.
• 07:34 Maybe the dinner party rule should apply to knitting gifts: don't make anything for the first time.
• 19:23 Crazy night to be grilling - and yet, we are.
• 20:37 Having these salted butter-pecan cookies around the house is dangerous bit.ly/36NUrZ

• 22:40 Wonderful ballet program tonite. With the bad weather, it looked like a number of folks didn't make it which is too bad.
• 08:12 Slept in & moving slow. More stormy weather on its way. A good day for soup-making and knitting.
• 08:49 Colonoscopy this week. Researching semi-creative ideas for clear liquid diet (required the day before). Maybe some homemade beef broth.
• 09:29 Going to get back into the swing of #BBA this weekend with bagels. Will bake Monday morning to take to staff meeting, assuming all goes well
• 10:49 It's a dark and stormy.... Saturday morning. Amazing how dark it is. I wanted to plant some mums this weekend - crossing that off the list.
• 16:15 This is a potato-soup-and-cornbread sorta day.
• 16:38 Whenever I'm peeling a batch of potatoes, I feel like I'm on KP duty in one of those old army movies.
• 18:53 Getting ready for symphony - all Russian program tonight if my memory serves me right.

• 07:24 I have to admit - as a morning exerciser I like the "fall back" time switch.

• 09:20 Trying KAF's pina colada scone mix, which I got free w/my last order. I think these are going to be tasty.
• 09:37 Catching up on finances. Home networking problems + computer in the shop slipped us behind. Really prefer staying on top of it.
• 15:28 Problem w/prioritizing my weekend tasks is that butter-pecan cookies get pushed down to bottom of the list, w/the stuff that won't get done.
• 16:58 OK - I think I've got my priorities straight now. Butter-pecan cookie dough is mixed and chilling in the fridge.
• 18:57 Voted.
• 19:40 Sunday dinner - a fall favorite: grilled salmon, baked sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts. Also roasted tomatoes (last of this year's crop).

• 11:42 It was time to say goodbye to the tomato plants, beans, and herbs in my container garden. Bye-bye zinnias and geraniums.
