I wasn’t sure how busy I’d be today: it was a bit of a crazy morning, but happily I’m able to squeeze in an MMP break! Not-so-happily, I’m eating the last of the [stroopwafels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroopwafel) I bought on Saturday. They are absolutely terrible for me, so I hardly ever get them, but they’re soooo yummy.

I adapt to the end of DST faster/better than the start of it. I love having more light in the morning – the earlier evening darkness doesn’t bother me – and during the first few days I only really notice the change at mealtime (when I’m hungry an hour “early”) and mornings (I go to bed at the same time, but will wake up early for a few days). Bailey doesn’t seem to have noticed yesterday’s adjustment, but then her internal clock is a bit irregular these days.

You know, I’m glad it’s November: not only will the election be over soon, but this month I get to hang out with my newphew and have 4 days off work and go to my last personal training session and celebrate Thanksgiving with my BFFs and build Lego sets and put out my holiday decorations. 😁

Showoff. 😛

I wonder if maybe her stomach has shrunk so she gets full quickly, but then because she hardly eats anything her body burns it up really fast? A bit of a catch-22, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Yay! Congrats on Sadie!

An important start. 🙂

Any guesses why it went walkies?
