I love music and the written word. Trashcan Sinatras, Richard Armitage, Song Joong Ki, BTS. Fan tweets with other stuff sprinkled in. Lately, I've been sharing a lot of music. Health, love, and peace to all. You are never alone.

I have a dear friend whom I've known for 3 decades. She's about 15 miles away but tonight we talked on the phone until our batteries nearly failed. We've survived a lot of the same experiences so the connection is deep. But to yak and laugh for over 2 hours is a new record for us.😉 Guess we both needed it.

"I've never been the one to shout because I listen,
I don't like to raise my voice.
But maybe I should learn to lose my inhibitions
And let my feelings make some noise.

'Cause you don't know what I'm going through
When silence is all I give to you.

So hear me if you're out there,
Take these words and try to understand
That I want you and I need you
To take the hand of a quiet man."

In other news, I'm within 10 lbs of my normal weight. This, after gaining 40 lbs since 2016. I gained 20 lbs of Trumpian weight + 20 lbs of pandemic weight. 10 lbs melted away by the end of Biden's first year w/no effort. Yay! 20+ lbs disappeared this year w/the help of my slacker version of #keto. Identifying the last 20 lbs as Trumpian weight has given me real motivation to get rid of it asap. I refuse to carry that guy around any longer! Almost back to my normal self! 🙂
Crumb photos of my multi-seeded sourdough using a Tartine starter, 20% of home milled Mulika flour and 5% home milled cracked Mulika wheat, 5% coarse milled Spelt flour plus chopped sage and Moroccan Flame dried flowers. 50g (5%) of seeds in these loaves for loaves with great texture and taste!

Who decided women past a certain age should all prefer tunics and elbow-length sleeves? #fashion #clothing
So I had my first #mammogram. It wasn't uncomfortable at all! I was surprised! Plus, there was a cute animal poster on the wall I could look at during the super-quick exam. Yay!!!
