Oh, I told my mother that the doctor thinks my high cholesterol might be genetic. My mother begs to differ.
Mother: Except your father and I didn't have it until recently.
Me: Nor did I.
Mother: We were older than you.
Me: By what ten years??
Mother suggested that instead of giving away all my Easter candy, I just throw it in the freezer like my grandmother used to do with her candy. (She'd get free candy in Vegas or at Christmas or make it, then throw it in the freezer and eat it sparingly.) Except, mother pointed out - this doesn't necessarily stop her from eating it. It stopped my grandmother, it did not stop mother.
I'm wondering if the combo keto and paeolo diets over the years caused my cholesterol to spike - due to the increase in cheese substitutes and meat fats? Although I have kind of gone off of red meat for the foreseeable future on account of it just not being digestible. (I know keto has resulted in a lot of folks getting their gall bladder's removed or in high cholesterol due to the fact that most people can't process fat that well.)
(As an aside cholesterol is a difficult word to spell.)

I may re-watch Bridgerton - I'm in the mood for fluffy romance, and I like the characters. It's not for everyone. But nothing is. There are things other people like that I can't watch. It's like food. I don't like brussle sprouts, my brother loves them. I don't know which family he sprouted out of - but it wasn't ours, no one in my family likes it but him.

Oh, Biden appointed the first female to an Admiral Position via Kamala Harris on Twitter.
President Biden has nominated Adm. Linda Fagan to serve as the next commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, the administration announced Tuesday.
If confirmed, Fagan would be the first woman ever to lead a branch of the U.S. military, lawmakers said.
YAY! And about bloody time. I feel like going into a chorus of anything you can do, I can do better...or something.
Although, this does mean that women can be drafted, although I think we could be as early as the 1990s, so never mind.

Been feeling a tad depressed of late, combination of the weather (gloomy and we're getting a late Spring), work, and my frustration with my body at the moment.
Reading another romance novel - It's one of Julie Anne Long's books about the Palace of Rogues. ( Read more... )
