Today was supposed to be a day of rest and comfort. From 3PM on, that simply wasn’t the case. Tomorrow will be a better day… I’ll be able to focus on other issues. There were a few positives about the day… Fortunately, I have some good anchors to keep me grounded. Added bonus, short week ahead.

I get to be a piglet for dessert snack tonight, because I need to catch up on my points, and I’m not in the mood for orange juice.

The Rain stopped!

Enough looking out the window... time to chill out.

ok, I’ve implemented flex points in my system…we’ll see how that works out. Rather than point ranges for each day, 35 flex points are awarded each week. These points may be used as needed during the week. As part of this program Weight Watchers has eliminated point ranges and now assigns a single daily point value for each weight group. Seven days, five points a day, equals 35 points. I’ve done the math, and you still get the exact same number of points per week – it’s just a different psychological way of counting. They’re just modifying the system so that it’s in terms of a week rather than in terms of a day… though I can reserve some for a extra gluttonous day on occasion.

I’ve been craving ice cream cake since Cookie Puss has made a return to Carvel. Though… fudgie the whale seems to be sort of ironic. “To a whale of a dad… Here’s a big chunk of ice cream, tubbo!”

Speaking of which, I sort of like Am I Annoying or Not? of the “Or Not?” trends. Cleopatra’s Entry

I’m looking forward to spending some quality time today… so far, so good. It’s going to get better, too, I’m sure.
