I can finally post on the DISboards. I thought that they were off for maintainance when I got home from work Monday. Then I couldn't get on until Tuesday night,but I couldn't go past the front page. But now all is right with the world.
I'm holding my breath for weigh-in this Saturday. It seems like I lose one week and gain the next week. I don't want to gain 4 or 5 pounds.
Tuesday morning was exciting.
I got back from being outside for several hours after walking down 19 floors. _ We had a fire. _ I didn't know about it because I was asleep with ear plugs.
When I got up to go to the restroom, I thought that I left the water on somewhere. It wasn't the sink and it wasn't the shower. _ It sounded like it was raining on the bathroom ceiling, without seeing any water.
Then I called the lobby and they said that the building is evacuated because of a fire on the 25th floor.
But I'm back, and I don't see any damage. _ Some people on the 25th floor said that there was 3 to 4 inches of water in the hallway and all their rooms. _ They had hardwood floors...oh my. _ They also heard that someone left their food cooking and left the building.
I'm letting several of the unfortunate neighbors store some of their valuables in my living room, and just a place to stay until they get things together. _ I can't imagine what all the day time workers were going to think when they came home or were called at work.
I thought that I was going to have a heart attack when I got to the road...lol. _ One of the firemen sat me down and demanded to check my heartrate and blood pressure.
I must have looked pretty bad. _ I told him that this is the way that I usually look.
But I was fine and went go back to sleep...but without the ear plugs...lol. I'm glad that I didn't have to walk up those 19 floors...lol. Well, I did get some exercise.
And I feel pretty safe if a fire breaks out. Some neighbors say that the burnt unit was minimal and contained to the burned ktchen wall. But the water damage must be terrible. The noise of water that I heard was water falling down a shaft next to my bathroom wall.
Thank goodness there is no damage.
Today I discovered macadamia nuts. A very nice treat with 1/4 cup is 3-grams of carbs., and 2-grams of fiber, and 22 grams of fat. Yesterday, I also, very reluctently, bought the low fat popsicle that had only 3-grams of fat. Of course, I must limit these two items as a quick treat.
I also was a Target this morning and bought something that I usually don't buy. They had these large yankee candle type candles on sale for $5.00. The smell is called peach/mango. I'm burning it now and it smells wonderful.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I may, or may not break my diet by eating out at a steak and salad place. Maybe a cake. Maybe an ice cream sundae. I haven't had a salad in five weeks because I'm still trying to stay low carbs. of 0 to 10.
I know...I know...I could have had a salad instead of the 3-gram popsicle or macadamia nuts.
I went to the Publix and bought some lettuce and zero-carb. dressing.
For my birthday meal, I wanted a great salad, steak, and maybe some broccolli and asparagus. No potato...sigh.
This has been on my mind a lot this week. I hope that I don't break my diet.
God bless you, best wishes, and encouragement, RaySharpton

You're awful sweet to let them store their stuff- and go out and celebrate your birthday!! There are sooo many good steak houses there- I remember Chops/Bones but I really like Houston's steak/salads- they give you so much! So go enjoy a salad/steak and some great veggies- and forget about the potato- if you're like me you probably have had 200 in your lifetime- so you're not missing anything you haven't already tried! 
Happy Birthday
