The only thing slightly positive about weighing in at 213 is that it mildly satiates my obsession with patterns. My "all in" 4 week focused Keto Kickstart began today. After dropping Lauren off at 11 o'clock I went over to my mom's to spend time helping her around the house. After my cousin's visit, it really struck me how time is passing as is my opportunity to be of help to my mom. However, she did share having taken an online quiz stating she'll likely make 98. Still, my help is needed. I swapped out the water filters and asked about setting up her old scanned. The conversation segued into the 'view master' collection of family photos she had, and how to scan them. At first, I didn't think much of the need or idea. We have so many photos of the family already. But once she showed me the large box stuffed with them and the first trial scan revealed images I'd never seen, the value was clear. We found a simple way to effectively scan them and once she's done so, I'll help with the next steps. Returned home, made Jen the Caprese dish I'd had last night after picking up some Boratta – it was excellent. We trimmed and bathed Scottie and she made an awesome dinner. I picked up Lauren and returned to hang out. We talked about summer concerts, birthday trip ideas and colleges.
