Lemon oats CAKE?

Image
The most delicious lemon oat cake! No sugar, no flour—pure indulgence! CPAP machine says 2:56 hours of sleep. I think it was a little more but it was definitely also a from when to when issue. I made it up in time for a couple phone visits and hair washing before heading out to party. Party was lovely. Gorgeous day. Enough lively conversations. TASTY low sugar banana bread. LOVELY giant piece of salmon. Then off to see Moma at hospital. Bad news. She needs to be in hospital. Good news after first round with paramedics taking her to Overlake she is now at Capital Hill where it is MUCH easier to visit. Also entertaining to see how inpatient and outpatient observation are executed presumably under new Medicare cost cutting rules. Arrrrrgggggh!

Useful meditations in unpredictable times and weather: staying warm

Image
Why Medieval Peasants Never Froze in -40°F While Modern Homes Die in 1 Day 5:26 hours of sleep. I probably could have slept longer but at least I got to bed early enough for this to come easy AND still be well nourished before a 10:30 zoom Last night I was HUNGRY. Carbs, carbs, carbs. It was all the running around. Today I HOPE I am more measured. Not taking calcium but a couple times broken leg still hurt. So back to tylenol. I suspect some pains in knees, shoulders are biomechanical but I HATE well having to think about such things.

Intriguing chocolate cake: no eggs. No Butter

Image
Quick & Easy Chocolate Cake - No eggs. No butter. One bowl. 6+ hours of sleep.  Some beef jerky after dinner and interrupted sleep. Best thing to eat when I wake up too early but have time to go back to bed: banana. Much better idea than prunes plus baked potato plus buttermilk. So I woke up all achy AND had to hurry to make an 11:00 meeting. Well exercised today. I SHOULD sleep well tonight.
