I'm making a mini chocolate cake for two. It's so cute. I've made it three times already. It's nice to have such a yummy homemade treat without the temptation of leftovers. I make two mini layers that I fill with raspberry preserves and then ice with chocolate buttercream icing. It's lower sugar since I use Swerve confectioner's sugar.

Tomorrow will be hubby's last day home of his vacation week.

I actually think I've lost some weight. Ever since my Seroquel XR was lowered to 500 mg, my appetite has been reduced and my cravings shifted more towards vegetables. Maybe I can convince my psychiatrist to lower it to 450 mg. At that dose and lower, I am often successful at dieting, if my mood is good.
Wow, Seroquel 500 is still a lot. I thought I was on a lot at 400 mg (mine is reg. release though). I couldn't deal with the XR stuff. Made me sleepy and fill up on sweet stuff then not be hungry for meals. Didn't have any energy. But regular release, it's like a completely different med for me.

I am a glad you had a nice day. Sorry your H will have to go back to work.
