Keto and Health.....

     We arrived in Birch Bay last Monday and are back on track doing all our regular activities. We come to White Rock, British Columbia, every day to work out and swim at the Grandview Aquatic Center. It is so convenient to have our Nexus cards. Otherwise, we could not hop across the border so conveniently. We've also already visited our favorite Indian restaurant on Marine Drive. We love that food, and thankfully, I can have it without messing up my diet.  On Friday next, we'll pick up our friend Aline and take her to have dim sum at another of our favorite restaurants. We're very anxious to see her. She had both of her knees replaced and is recovering nicely. She says she can now drive.  She's spent several years depending on others to take her places and feels much freer. Our Birch Bay home is still comfortable and cute. We have such a beautiful view, and we can see the sea life transitioning from winter through spring into summer. We've even seen some Canadian geese pairing up, so I'm sure we will have gosling in the next month. I've been getting a little bit bored. I think it's because I'm avoiding diving into my writing. There are two things that I'm working on. One is a memoir, and the other is about the members of the MAGA cult. Both of these topics are deeply depressing. I am very apprehensive about another Donald Trump presidency, and it doesn't look so impossible now. I'm just praying that people who care about our democracy get out and vote against Trump and vote for Joe Biden. I think democracy will be lost if Trump wins. I never thought my country would ever go in this direction. It is such a terrible shock, and I can't believe the people are actually behind this creep. So, working on either of these things is depressing. My memoir is depressing only because of the sad parts I have to relive, including my traumatic marriage to my older kid's father and the terrible decisions I made. I'm praying that I can start writing again soon because both of these will be very good for me in the end, I'm sure. In the meantime, I'm still following the keto diet and successfully losing weight with the support of semaglutide. I've also been looking at more research relating to how the body changes over time and how things that used to work may not work anymore. I'll communicate a little bit about that next week. In the meantime, I'm enjoying my life and feeling healthier every day!
