Now it's all out of sight/out of mind but we can dig back in on Friday night.

Notes:

• (Bee)
• (Bob)Yesterday was difficult for me.  I had a Meniere's incident at about lunchtime and tried a sea sick pill therapy.  It worked great until ~5:15 p.m. when the dizziness and nausea came back with a vengeance.  I medicated with 1/2 a Valium and went to bed.  Essentially I didn't eat anything after 11:15 a.m.  That's probably the source of my large weight loss this morning, I'm sure I'll get it back.
