Mick, to answer your questions, here goes.
I keep busy cleaning house, taking care of
my dogs and cats, yard work, reading,
taking a nap now and then, and yes I cook.
I don't bake much anymore as if it is not here,
I don't have the temptation to eat it.

I like to cook from scratch so that takes more
prep time and putting more thought into a meal.
Even though the weather is cool, I was able to yesterday
go out and do some raking. The wind had brought down some
twigs and branches. I try and keep them picked up as they fall
so it is does not become an all day job.
Then I came in and re organized the 2 spare bedrooms. That
took me 3 hrs non stop.
I like being busy and I try and have projects to complete each day.
Oh and I sew now and then as well. Also I clean my suv and detail
it as needed.
Well gotta go,, Daugher and Grand Daughter on the way, will be
here in an hr. Good thing I got up early and got house cleaned.
Thanks for asking.. Hugs.. kim
