"It is a war crime to attack a nuclear power plant". Russians have taken over the contested nuclear power plant and God only knows what they plan on doing with it.  Use it as leverage? I just sit in awe of what's going on over there, with Russians indiscriminately killing civilians as if they are nothing more than the buildings they are also destroying.  

Not shockingly, the dispatcher put other people up to load first before me - I've been off work far longer than anyone else atm.  Then again, I haven't contacted her.  But, it's time to go back to work.  The plant is actually still shut down for maintenance, they are loading out of railcars that were previously loaded.  And probably only giving priority to the biggest customers, there might be 5 or 6 truckloads sitting out threre in those railcars, after that, the plant will have to fire the rack back up. 

Down another 2 pounds.  Keto and intermittent fasting are working far better than just Keto alone.  It's like the first month I started Keto over 2 years ago.  When I finally got into ketosis, the weight started dropping off 3/4 of a pound to a pound a day.  The gut is noticeably shrinking, in less than a week's time I've dropped 17 pounds.  This isn't any narcissistic statement, it's an ode to the Keto diet that works where other diets don't.  People "try" keto and say it doesn't work, but then you find out they aren't following the plan.  They think they can sneak something in, like regular diets and it will be okay.  I try to explain to some of these people how it works, but it falls on deaf ears.

They simply aren't that serious about dropping the weight.  When they are ready, when they get desperate enough, perhaps they will reconsider.  I started getting desperate after I started seeing weight gains on a weekly basis - hitting the 230 mark was it for me.  A fit man most of my adult life, relegated to being obese and seriously overweight?  Taylor actually found this diet initially, I had never heard about it.  How can you not lose weight if you are cutting out most all sugars?  

So I have gotten nothing done today. Addler had "stuff" coming out his butt overnight and it was on the new carpeting.  Gag and gross. I threw him out the door - not literally folks, I escorted him out lol - got out the carpet cleaning machine and got busy.  No stains, thankfully and it's all thoroughly cleaned up.  If I had known this dog was going to have that kind of problem after surgery, I would have just left him at the vet in their kennel.  For like a week anyway, I don't care how much it costs.  I'm seriously considering taking him over there today.  I think the bleeding has stopped at least, but all the nastiness is just oozing out of there.  It's not his fault, obviously, and the surgery had to be done, I just wish this vet would have given me a bit better picture of what was going to happen after the fact. I wouldn't have even gone over there to pick him up.  

He's ruined the new doggy bed that I spent $200 on, it's going into the trash can.  But today, I'm going to have to wash the thing off as best as I can get it - if  - I keep him home.  In fact, I need to get out there and hose it off, it will take all day to dry it.  It has warmed up considerably here at least.  

And that's that. A drive by the property since it's Friday and who knows if they might show up today with equipment and the off to a hike and then back to the grind in the bedroom - desk almost finished, just need help to lift up the giant hutch -I could do it myself but I'd be afraid of dropping it or letting it tilt and scratch or even ruin the finish on the rest of the desk.  

G'day
