My doggo knows when I’m stressed and insists on cuddle time for an hour or so while we watch the bird-feeder and just breathe. She’s very wise, my MonyMony.

Also, these frittatas are fantastic!

In case you want gluten free, keto brownies too, this is the mix I bought.

Tonight, I’m making a huge stir fry for dinner, and it should give 1-2 leftover meals.

I also plan to make a batch of keto brownies in a muffin pan so we can freeze them and eat measured amounts and stay on our diet. In order to make them in the muffin pan, I turn the heat down to 325° F and then bake for 18 minutes in order to keep them from being burnt on the edges and wet in the middle.

In order to make my life easier and to make sure there are any meals on hand for mom if I’m away, I’m trying to do advance meal prep. Today, I spent an hour and a half chopping veggies so they’re ready for all this week’s meals. I also did a double batch of these egg white frittatas. https://callascleaneats.com/copycat-starbucks-egg-white-bites-gluten-free/

Hmm. This isn’t so surprising to me. I got rid of my home phone back in 2004.

How about you? Do you still have one? If so, why? If not, when did you get rid of it and why?

I’M COVID FREE! Wahoo! Coming out of isolation at last.

MonyMony normally barks whenever Trump is on TV, but she’s more interested in sleeping today.

Anyone else wondering if #Trump saying all that stuff about NATO was a signal to Putin that he’d give up Alaska in exchange for Russian help getting him elected? And that Tucker Carlson went to “interview” Putin at that exact moment in order to negotiate the terms and get talking points?

Just me?

Since I’m bored in isolation, I did an at home test of my hearing using my iPhone and noise canceling headphones. My hearing is actually way above normal. However, one ear is stronger than the other, which is what I'm noticing. But I can stop worrying. Just because I'm used to having superhuman hearing and it's slightly less so on one side does not mean I need to do anything about it. I'm still a freak of nature.

Trump’s game plan seems to be:

Crime.
Whine when called out.
Crime moar.
Gaslight.
Crime bigly.
Ask rubes to pay legal bills.
Be loud and awful.
Threaten anyone who doesn't capitulate.
Crime again.
Make bank.

Repeat and repeat until everyone who opposes gets too exhausted to pay attention anymore.

So far, my symptoms are very very mild. All those shots are paying off, I hope. Still isolating from mom and both of us masking when I must go downstairs. Mom has zero symptoms so far, and hopefully it will stay that way. I’m not testing again today since I know there’s a delay between infection and detection. Treating it like it’s a certainty since I KNOW I was exposed for a long time at close quarters.

On another platform, I got a jackhole in my mentions saying Covid isnt real and we should all stop testing. If your response to me talking about my having Covid is to suggest “stop testing” as a solution, you’re either a) sociopathic, b) painfully stupid, or c) all of the above. Gtfo. Stupid goes right in the trash where it belongs.

Welp, I was exposed to Covid and am starting to show symptoms. So far, my test was negative, but my friend definitely has it, and I sat beside him for over four hours in a car. Bah. I’ll test again tomorrow and the next day. In the meantime, I’m isolating from my 83 year old mother.

High protein brunch. Egg white scramble (bratwurst, red onion, tricolored diced peppers, kale, mushroom, topped with salsa) and avocado toast made with fresh baked sourdough bread, plus a cutie for dessert. Coffee with soy milk and a little sugar free vanilla syrup. This diet is working! 5lbs down!

MonyMony had the big buzz at Dirty Hairy’s dog grooming yesterday. Now all her brindle stripes are on display. 😍

Signs spring has come early:

*Sunshine
*Warm weather
*Kite flying winds
*Frat boys next door blasting their stereo with the front door open, sitting shirtless on the porch steps smoking weed

My doggo is big mad about it, but honestly, I get it, man. I do.

My nephew lives in LA in the house directly down the hill from Miley Cyrus. When we watched the news this morning and saw clips from the Grammys, my mother said “Oh I’m so happy for his back door neighbor.” 🤣 She can’t remember Miley’s name. She is forever my nephew’s “back door neighbor.” 🤣🤣🤣
