1012: Yesterday I drove Mom to a town a couple hours away for a funeral. I didn't buy any sugar snacks at the gas stations along the way. That is a major victory.

Let's see if it holds true next month. Maybe I can figure out how to put that to good use.
The weather here was nice and cool this morning, maybe down in to the 60s. I didn't check to see for sure. It was cool enough to sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice into my milk-splashed coffee, though! And you know what? It tasted good even without sugar or any sweetener.
My cold sore looks disgusting. I completely forgot that I have health coverage and that people actually go to the doctor and are written prescriptions for cold sores. So I'm goin
