Having a new heating & air system put in, so it's going to be noisy today. Bubs will be barking his head off. I hope I can be productive. They took out our heat yesterday, so we plugged in a couple of electric space heaters last night. It's supposed to be in the 20s the next couple of days, so I hope those things work well.

Was happy to see a slight drop today. Last night, we went to the grocery store and spent most of our time in the produce section. Got some tilapia for fish tacos tonight.

Finally got Mr Coco to watch a DVD with me. He hates watching movies at home, so this was a breakthrough. For my birthday, he had given me the box set for The Wire, which he had not seen before. It's one of the best TV dramas ever and he's actually enjoying it enough to sit still through 2 episodes at a time.

12pm: Mr Coco divvied up what was left of our beef stew for lunch today. I thought it looked like way too much, so I weighed just the beef portion after guessing it had maybe 4 oz of beef. It was 7.75 oz! Wow, I was off. So I took out all but 4 and it was just the right amount. I MUST start weighing things instead of guessing. It's easy to veer off course.

10:50pm: I feel like I've overcome my late night coffee habit by substituting decaf green tea. Enjoyed preparing all the fresh ingredients for fish tacos tonight. They were delish!
