Got up early and had coffee while watching the prelude to the Inauguration. It was wonderful! I loved every minute. Though I was annoyed we don’t have CNN in HD for some reason. So I watched NBC in HD. Because I am addicted to HD.

For breakfast I had two pieces of bacon and a scrambled egg. Later, after a 3-mile walk with Kona, I had leftover baked chicken for lunch (drumsticks, with skin and breading). Then I began feeling pain at the site of my former gall bladder. This has been happening lately after eating foods high in animal fats. It concerns me. It’s not terrible pain, and there’s no other symptom going on, but I really thought the surgery in July was supposed to cure this thing. It’s really frustrating that it apparently didn’t. Because I love eating just about anything.

So I am thinking of going back to a vegetarian diet for a little while. Or, you know, fishatarian. I was vegetarian for about 6 years in my 20s, so I can do it. I’ll need some more interesting recipes tho. In my 20s I ate a lot of pasta and burritos and bagels and other carb-heavy foods that one can eat when one is young and doesn’t gain weight.

I think I am going to make hummus in our new blender tonight. And some more greens. Off to the store.
