In a mysterious turn last week I lost 8 pounds. No need to fear though, I have regained every ounce. I actually suspect a rogue battery in my scale for the event. But just to be on the safe side, instead of switching the battery I bought 2 packages of OREOS and forbade the children from having any. Now there’s no need to go to the doctor. I’ve beaten back the crisis single handed (well, actually cookies in one hand and a glass of milk in the other).
