Week ending 3/24

 OK, so I totally missed posting this yesterday but for a positive reason. I was having a good day and had a good week.

So, let's see... a couple of things.

I gave myself permission to have a small piece of white chocolate, as a treat, on evening early in the week. I took a tiny bite off the corner... flavors exploded in my mouth - all the rich complexities of the confection, like I'd never tasted before. I put the rest of the piece away. That one tiny bite was enough. 

Same thing later in the week with an oatmeal cookie. Juno made some from dough we had in the fridge from "before." I thought, make the cookies little and I can have a couple, but it will really only be the same as one. As an occasional treat, I figured it would be OK. Again, one tiny bite, an explosion of flavor and it was so, so very sweet. I couldn't eat any more of it. 

So, that's interesting. 

Other fun stuff... I mentioned last week, among all the changes, Games Workshop was coming out with a new edition of Age of Sigmar. If you don't recall, Age of Sigmar is a tabletop miniatures wargame which all three of us play. 

Now, GWs business model is to release a new edition every three years or so, just because. Since the current edition is Age of Sigmar is... well, not perfect, but fun to play, well balanced (All the factions have a roughly equal chance of winning. Seriously, they do a massive statistical analysis based on feedback from game tournaments around the world) and generally a great game. So, they announced they're throwing out all the rules and starting over scratch because... basically they don't have any other excuse to update the current rules. 

So, I won't be getting the new edition... because why would I? I like the current game and I don't play in tournaments. Which means I don't have to change my game. Which means that's one life change that I can take control of and not do. That is a fantastic feeling. 

So, all in all, a good week.

Onward
