I am home from the dentist and on a cool liquid diet for three days. No rinsing, no spitting. After three days I can rinse with salt water and have a cool scrambled egg.

I predict I will be in a bad mood.

Good afternoon, all.

(((((((( @Shycat ))))))))) - I’m so very proud of the work you’ve put in. It is no small feat, and you are amazing 👏🏻

Big hugs to everyone in their struggles with anxiety 🫂🫂🫂 It’s especially inspiring to hear from those who have gotten a good grip on it.

SOTD is Hiris.

My mother and stepfather have started the move. I expect them to be completely moved in by the end of the week, by which time their old home will be ready to officially go on the market. My husband and I will set up the estate sale in a few weeks, and get everything out of my garage, when things settle down - I have to get a permit from the town for that.

My Dad and stepmother have asked us to the Bronx Zoo on Saturday, to celebrate Logan’s birthday, which is the following Sunday. Fun 🙂

Have a great day!

Syncing with @sakecat today in K de Krizia, a perfect lesson in "never say never" to a proclaimed floraphobe like me. It's a big, aldehydic floral of the 1980s variety, brimming with the BWFs I hate -- narcissus, lily of the valley, tuberose -- but it smells glorious. All that floral power is reined in by bitter moss and dry animalic facets, and it winds up smelling like the very essence of Italian elegance.

Perfectly put (y). l also have big issues with those accords but they work brilliantly for exactly the reasons you state. My recently acquired Belle Epoque also has a tuberose note but it is so beautifully integrated it was never an issue. Both could easily be contenders for this week's Friday synch (or maybe I'll pick something even more audacious ;)).

Hello and best to everyone. The day got away from me. Crazy busy. Mon Guerlain for me.

I tend to be in the camp of “I’ll jump off that bridge when I get to it” but I struggle with anxiety at times, even so. Take care, all. 🫂❤️

That sounds like torture. Sorry, no way to put a positive spin on it.

Attaboy! Go with the audacity.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about those notes and this Friday sync. Hate to repeat something that soon though.

Ick. Was that specifically suggested? So may other soft foods would be better in a cool state. Ramen or udon noodles, just off the top of my head.

I am in ketosis. I do make a nice whey protein shake--start with banana flavor, add salt, cocoa, stevia, and soluble fiber. Add a little milk and four ice cubes to a bullet blender. It's good.

If I'd known the extent of my restrictions I would have laid in Greek yogurt.

Ah, but also no aerobic exercise and no getting hot. They recommend resting for a week. This is very positive....it's is very necessary health maintenance and self care. The gum surgery is only going to help me with weight loss--which is also necessary health maintenance and self care.

The cosmetic bits are self love. It's all positive.
