Despite doing notably well this past year, I seem to have writer's block when it comes to my two blogs. I used to have only one blog, but recently split off the mental health posts from the travel/culinary/other ones. I haven't even been inspired to do cooking projects. What?!?!? One could think this might indicate a level of depression, but it's not. Even though I'm in a bit of a "waiting period", it's not unpleasant anymore. It's like I'm waiting for the gunshot bang at the start of a race. I wait in that starting position with some feeling of anticipation. Actually, a slightly excited one.

I really wish my husband would quit buying foods that tempt me (i.e. soft pretzels). He claims to be trying to lose weight, as well. He calls me "Director of Nutrition" yet I'm not, fully. A whole soft pretzel is only marginally better for a diet than a small slice of chocolate cake. It's one of those foods people assume innocent, when it's not.
