So yesterday was a **** fest. Instead of rewriting it I'll paste my Facebook post.
Yesterday was my preop appointments. What a ******g nightmare.
First one was stupid...absolutely no reason they couldn't have done it over the phone. Second is the nightmare part. A single vial of blood and an ekg took nearly 3 ******g hours. Mind you this all took place almost two hours away in Lubbock. I was feeling very rough to begin with. We had to leave our house at around 9:30ish. Went to get gas then we left town around 10. We got home around 6:40 PM. So pissed. The only good experience was the intake nurse and the receptionist that checked me in for the second one.
The tech that did the blood draw was absolutely nasty after I told her I have deep and rolling veins. She could have been worse but **** it hit me wrong. At that point I was crying a bit, just tears but I was PISSED. When I am that mad I cry. My pain level was a 9. I had to sit way to damned much without being able to walk around. We were in the dark for the last hour of the ride home.
My back is super agitated along with my hips and legs. My body feels so damned broken. My spirit is nearly there as well..
One good thing about my surgery(well there is more than one, hopefully the pain will be better) is that it isn't at that god awful hospital. You can bet that when they send the survey I will let them have it. Most inept place I've ever been in
I'm glad it's over though sorry for the language but it's just a lot for me.
Some good...not great news! Last month the kitty we took in, momma, was moved to Nebraska and she was adopted last week! Woo hoo she deserves all the love in the world and this organization is legit and they heavily vet adopters. This made my heart sing a happy tune after a **** day!
we got about 2 inches of snow overnight...maybe more but a lot of it may of melted.
QOTD: oh lord yes I love them! I don't get them as often because I totally overate them. I love teriyaki if you can find it. If you like spicy they have wasabi. I love plain and sesame too. I get em from Sam's clubs and they are more affordable that way for me.
B: 4mini quiches and coffee
It's Friday-Eve gang. Boy was it cold this morning and tonight the high is supposed to be 5 degrees. We still have no phones at work not sure what is going on. The internet is working fine thankfully. Other than that another slow quiet day.
Last night while at the Y the fire alarm went off and they had to evacuate so we got about 15 minutes in, but I guess that's better than nothing. I have a few coats to donate so I need find a place to take them.
QOTD: Does anyone eat seaweed snacks? While at the Asian market yesterday I stumbled upon some Korean seaweed snacks. So, I bought some and OMG they are so tasty. Thin little squares of deliciousness.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: chicken soup and salad
D: baked pork chops and spinach
Hitting the Y as long as it's open which I think it is.
Have a great day everyone!!!

Good mornin folks. Sorry for being MIA. Just life happening.
I go to my preop appointments in Lubbock later today. Not looking forward to the drive whatsoever. My pain levels have been super bad. Dealing with some digestive tract problems as of late. Mainly annoying.
i've got all my shopping done, thank gawd. I need to mail a gift. Also get som cash for my brother and SIL. I was going to do cards but decided against it.
QOTD: "my favorite time of the year" by the florin street band. Or "above the northern lights" by trans Siberian orchestra.
food is unknown. We'll get lunch in Lubbock. If I'm being honest food has been a total disaster. I've been treating my anxiety and stress with bad ****
KITTIES! And shoes Amazon suggested to me.
Happy Hump Day Gang!! We've been having phone and internet issues all morning so hopefully this post goes through. I have the closet over half cleaned out. Some of the stuff was just junk that I must have tossed in there for whatever reason. Not all that much going on at work today except for the phone and internet issue.
QOTD: What's your favorite Christmas song? I like a lot of them, but my favorite is Christmas Eve in Sarajevo by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. There's just something about all the different instruments and the way they are played.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: salad and soup
D: steak sandwiches
The Y ended up being closed yesterday due to the weather which only ended up being heavy rain. We will go tonight.
Have a great day everyone!!
QOTD- I liked Red One too, not a Christmas movie fan but that one was good.
My roommate is unemployed again, and depressed. I don't blame him.
Wishing I could sell my house and find a one level that costs less so I could move. I don't really want to move but I've got to get a lower house payment or my retirement will be very short.
East Coasters sorry about the snow, or maybe you guys like it. I personally hate it, I don't drive in it and I don't like the cold. But there is something about the silence that comes with it.
I've got to get back to work.
Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning Menuer's. I took the Jeep in this morning since we are supposed to get Winter weather later on today and I really didn't want to take a day off. Finally got the corporate approval for the YMCA to give my company a discount membership. I'll be sending an email off today to the employees so they can sign up if they want, plus in December you get the month free and no joining fee.
I did good last night with starting to sort through the little closet that is in the living room. I only go in it for Christmas decorations, but there is other stuff in there. I found a tote of DVD movies that I'm going to try and sell. Baby steps right?
QOTD: What's your favorite Christmas or Holiday Movie? I have several that I like watch during December, but recently my favorite has become Red One. I think it's because it has Krampus and Gryla the Christmas Witch in it. LOL
B: coffee and protein shake
L: ham and cheese lettuce wraps
D: baked chicken thighs and spaghetti squash
As long as weather permits, we will be hitting the Y tonight and then I'll be sorting through more stuff in the closet.
Have a great day everyone!!!
Happy Monday Morning Gang and December 1st!! I definitely needed some time off from work. The last 4 days were wonderful. I slept until 7am and then just did some stuff inside since it was pretty cold outside. Though yesterday I did get the cardboard on parts of the rabbit coop to get ready for the snow we are supposed to get.
Thanksgiving was great and we had such a nice time at Irvin's son's house seeing the grandkids and great grandkids. The food was amazing as always. I did not want to get up to go to work today, but I'm a team player so I'm here getting things done.
QOTD: Now that we are in the last month of the year what are your plans for December? My plans are for each day to take 30 minutes and go through things. Both Irvin and I have been sort of doing that here and there, but I really want to make a dent in things and sell more stuff that I just don't use or need. You can't it with you when you die and I know our kids are not going to want anything, so I might as well make some money.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: chili
D: veal with asparagus
Weights at the Y tonight and then the hot tub.
Have a wonderful day everyone!!!
