ESP test

I figured it out after two tries, but I may just be exceptionnally intelligent. :) Post your explanation in the comments section to this post, but don't look at the comments before trying the test!

Trying to get the baby to go to sleep on her own. Put her down a few minutes ago without putting her fully to sleep in my arms first, and she got really ticked off. I keep going back in there to soothe her, replace her soother, etc., and as soon as I leave, she freaks. The last time seemed to work, though -- she's quiet now.

Started writing down exactly what I'm eating each day, à la Weight Watchers. It's a good practice in food mindfulness. Tonight is the Christmas Ball for B's department, so I want to be careful about what I eat there, too. I came up with a great recipe for a low-carb protein shake this morning, too -- 1/2 c of cream, 1 c water, 1/4 c whey powder, 3 tbsp flax seed meal (that's 12 g of fibre), 1 tbsp cocoa, 1/2 c blueberries, 1/2 tsp vanilla, pinch of stevia. The stevia and the vanilla make the chocolate flavour bloom, and the blueberries and flax seed meal make the texture smooth with a nutty character.

It snowed a bunch this morning and now the sun is out. Beautiful day, and as soon as Z wakes up, I'm going to take her for a walk in the forest with the boys. Should be fun.

Off to do a few rounds of japa.
