Final check-in

Before going to the Blue Door Cafe for lunch, I weighed in at Alice's office: I dropped 5 pounds this week.

I gained some back at lunch, though. It was by far the best meal of the week: tomato-vegetable soup with pasta shells and REAL meat (with texture and everything!), a luncheon-meat sandwich, some cookies, and a glass of milk. Delicious and filling.

Like Kathy, I felt guilty being there despite nobody making me feel out of place. In fact, I had polite conversations with a couple of people there, although I did shift the topic of conversation when it veered too close to why I was there, what brought me to Sudbury, etc. I didn't want to expose myself as a hunger-tourist.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at the lunch tomorrow. Less than 24 hours to go!
