Good morning all and Happy Friday,

Dearest Fri-yay - Can you please be gentle on me? I'm sensitive.

Yesterday was ROUGH. Hours of attorney calls, dialing for dollars and medical calls. I fell overnight when I got up to use the restroom. I bumped my head good and have a goose egg as a trophy. I think I overextended my left knee. I don't feel I need medical attention though.

Today is Yom Kippur and I'll be attending high holidays service tomorrow and possibly tonight. Emily asked me to speak at her meeting at the same time tonight as services. I committed to being there for her and will probably skip Temple tonight. I'll be getting together with family to break the fast. This weekend, I have a book club, helping a friend for a couple hours with some life stuff, cards, board meeting, and will be outside to enjoy the Indigenous People Summer.

QOTD- Seeds -Some seeded produce is ok. These are not. Dragonfruit, cherimoya, raspberries, pomegranates. I like the taste of all of those though.

B: Lox, cream cheese on cucumbers and eggs.

L: Guac & shrimp ceviche. Flan.

D: a big meal before sundown going into a 24 hour fast.

Pics- Oct 7 Anniversary March & Rally at the Wrigley Building. The Uber driver from a couple weeks ago, Heather and me. Fake Lenny Dykstra information. I love this account's posts

Good Morning! Well I slept like crap and it was not one of those, "I've had enough" nights, it was an "I'm going to die if I only have 2 hours of sleep" nights. I finally managed to get back to sleep at 3:30am and I slept until 6:30am. Thank goodness because I was not ready to manage today with an all-nighter.

We've got a fun 3 day weekend ahead. It's my dad's birthday so we're going out to spend time with him on Saturday, and Monday we're going to a fall festival in Maine for the day. I have to work my butt off on Sunday for cookie stuff but that's not a bad thing. People are ordering so many Halloween cookies! It's crazy!

QOTD 1: Both bananas and blueberries have to be the exact perfect ripeness for me. If it's perfect I like them both but if not--yuck.

QOTD 2: I take a bariatric vitamin every day, plus an extra vitamin D3, and I take a proferrin a few times a week. The iron is supposed to be daily, but I won't lie and pretend I am as compliant as I should be.

Accountability: I barely ate and over 10K steps

• protein coffee
• turkey sausage
• turkey meatloaf
• ??

Look, they are naming wood varieties after me, now!

Because you were brought up right!

QOTD: Things that women wear generally don't bother me greatly. So I can't think of something that would make me walk out on a first date. Tube tops maybe? But I can't imagine dating a 15 year old, so I'm safe.

But guys can wear the dumbest things. Sunglasses on the back of the head bug me. Pants that are almost down to your knees is ludicrous. I want to pull then up and staple them in place.

Ha. I would say it's a deal breaker on any date but Grim has one and I keep him around!
