It's Sunday and I'm on day three of my Seattle Sutton Healthy Eating diet. Yes, I'm a fan. they prepare the meals then you can either pick it up or they deliver three/four days worth of meals. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. This morning half an English muffin, scrambled egg patty, turkey sausage and a piece of cheese--pineapple juice. Not bad either. Last night it was a fajita complete with avacato paste and a refried beans.
They come in two packages. Either 2000 calorie or 1200. You are supposed to drink 3 glasses of milk with that a day. Is 1200 too little? Yes. I went with the 2000 calorie. Not as much weight loss, so they say, but I know I can't handle the 1200. (even though they give you a list of food you can supplement. Whenever I try that, I make the wrong choices.)
I got back to writing last night. Three pages. Not too bad either. Why is it that I know the term "revolving door" but I can't remember it when I'm actually writing about one? NOW I remember the term. That happens all the time. While I'm writing, I can never remember the exact term I'm looking for, even though it's a household word.
Brainpower is amazing. It's also frustrating. It keeps you humble.
What I'm reading: The Stranger Besides Me by Anne Rule, the story of Ted Bundy. Seems Anne rule worked with Ted while they worked for a crisis center. He was the brilliant kid who didn't have it in him to kill anybody. As she states, she didn't think she was naive, he had better minds than hers fooled a lot longer. Wow.
Lillian Jackson Brauhn "The Cat Who Tailed a Thief" the delightful mystery series that stars that feline detective KOKO who solves the mysteries, if you're clever enough to deciphor his clues.
Agatha Christie, Spider's Web, adapted as a novel from the play. (was a BBC production several years ago)
Lisa Gardner's The Survivor's Club about three survivors of a rapist who become the prime suspect in his murder.
PH James A Mind to Murder A Dagliesh mystery
Sir Walter Scot Kenilworth about the tragic marriage and death of Amy Robsart the wife of Robert Dudley, Queen Elizabeth's favorite courtier
and while we're at it, Robert Lacy's The Earl of Essex, about Dudley's nephew who was a favorite of the elder queen adn about his rebellion and subsequent execution,
and no trip to the library for English history fascinations would be cfomplete without yet another version of Anne Bolyn.
and then there's the CD series of Anne Rice's Vampire Cronicles.
That should hunker me down for a while.
Take care. Another chapter is calling before I get dressed and tackle this house.

Thanks Marlene. You do the same. When you figure out a way to make your brain respond to your immediate needs, please let me know. LOL
