Happy Thanksgiving!!

I had to do some straightening up this morning because the cleaning ladies were coming. It's just a happy circumstance that it's the day before Thanksgiving! (And it'll be just a few days before Christmas!)
Rusty helped bring the tree upstairs this morning, worried that a painting project he had planned in the basement would be in the way later.
My check & cleaning at the dentist went great. My hygienist is a brand new mom just back to work this week, so we were even chattier than usual.
My chiropractor appointment went well. After suspecting that she was pregnant my last two visits, today it was confirmed!!
I had time for a quick lunch and a thrift store stop (nothing good), and then my re-check mammogram appointment… which I was not too worried about but still not exactly excited about, either.
I've taken better selfies, but I think you can tell that things went OK! I barely sat down after the first two images were taken, while the radiologist took a look to determine whether ultrasound was needed, when the technician came in and said that there was NOTHING THERE. Yahoo.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Today in {yesterday's} screenshots!
Maddy & Viv saw Fleetwood Mac in Portland last night!! Heyyyy! I don't know quite how I feel about the 50 years part of Fleetwood Mac – 50 Years – Don't Stop, but what a collection.
Rusty wanted a screenshot of his Instagram page yesterday to insert into his most recent email to subscribers. He's got the hang of IG and has been posting more frequently, so wants to promote it more. He said, "Maybe you could help me when you get home." Haha. In about 3 seconds, it was in his in-box.
I love taking screenshots, especially from the more fleeting platforms such as Snapchat and IG stories — the trick is catching them before they disappear, and I don't always make it. It's like a little game…

Eight weeks ago, having recently let my WW membership lapse, I was recruited by Kate to join her in a commitment to eat better and lose some weight. So I reacquainted myself with my Lose It app and we started planning & logging (the key to success no matter the program)! We coordinate dinners as much as we can and mostly cook & eat at home! It can be tiresome… sometimes I think we need something new in rotation, and not just a dish, a big new actual palatable, main-dishable ingredient thing… but we're managing. We're not doing any one thing, just buying, preparing & eating Real Good Food.
There's only one scale in the house and it happens to be in Kate's apartment, so once every week or so, on the weekend or my day off, before breakfast & getting dressed, I wrap a scarf 'round my neck and step into some boots (not even bothering to zip/tie) and dash outside & up the stairs in my bathrobe for a weigh-in.
I've lost 10.6 pounds since then. Not setting the world on fire, but that's OK! I've done some traveling, some socializing, some celebrating, and still… my clothes fit better (ok, yes, I'm talking about jeans) and I feel better, win-win.
I don't have any other photos to show today, so you get yarn. These are in the shop now. There's more on the drying rack, and an order arriving at the end of the week!

I'm finally going to start Bunching Along!
I've been itching to cast on since I first read about it, but there were other thing I needed to get done first… who am I? waiting to finish other things??
The yarn is wound, I'm ready to find my DPNs, and will be casting on the Appleseed Mitts this evening. Yahoo.
(I also really, really, really want to knit one or two or three Slip-Stitch Caps!)
