What a week! The temperatures have moderated! Right now it is 50-60 degrees warmer than it was day before yesterday AND it is still below freezing. The roads are apt to be very slick as the ice becomes more slippery as the temperature rises. When it goes above freezing, it’s like driving on a wet ice cube.

My computer got a worm or something a month or so ago which caused some minor to major problems depending on what I wanted to do. This week it has been reformatted and I’m attempting to retrieve lost materials. I also moved it into my studio so it will be easier to access while I’m making jewelry and need to develop patterns or want a break.

Maybe it is the increasing daylight (we are now up to 7 hours a day) but, I have been so hungry this past week. Normally I don’t or rarely snack. This week I’m craving sweets! That is really unusual for me. Unfortunately I am giving in to those cravings. Eating protein hasn’t helped to alleviate the cravings either. It is really frustrating. Other than eating an excess of sweets, I’m still doing fairly well in compliance with the BTD.

The cat still won’t eat anything fresh. Muppet will eat some but still prefers cooked foods. My husband conveniently “forgets” to give the outside dogs the fresh food I have for them. Trying to switch their diets has become quite an adventure. Who or what will win out in the end is yet to be determined.
