Days 26, 26, 28

Buddhists take refuge in the three jewels (often depicted by the lotus) by contemplating the balance of Buddha, Dharma, and Sanga. We have apparently reached a similarly higher plane of balance at our house as we have lost our old car to irreparable engine trouble while having gained two kittens, which--if weighed on my special emotional scale--total out to right around 2,800 pounds, or exactly the same as a late model Ford compact. We spent the day car shopping--I haggled--and came home with a new ... er less used car.

I had planned on an afternoon ride, but after six hours of car dealerships we got home twenty minutes ahead of a brutal thunderstorm and all outside activity is canceled from the evening.

I had bread and a fried egg for breakfast and eight pieces of vegi sushi for lunch. Dinner will most likely be some sort of rice and vegetable combination. Lets call it 2000 kcal today.

I'm going to weigh in tomorrow in preparation for the final entry (coming on day 30) of the hungry month portion of this blog. We'll see where things go from there.
