Hi All,

I am a lurking but feel like talking about getting ready.
Well I have changed the double wide (snack, juke, salty, sugar treats) drawer. Every kid, adult or friend to know my home KNEW the snack drawer.

It is now filled with half cup custard cups( say that fast 3x). Powder cib, other protein powder to use, measuring cups and spoons, sf water mixes, my magic bullet cups, power bottom for magic bullet on the counter.

What I have learn... OMG... I go and look in that drawer 10x a day. SURPRISE .... no STUFF ..... this is for real!

Have my home made broth ...frozen in ice cube trays and some already in freezer bags or half cup serving size.

FEAR....calm...FEAR...calm..calm...calm..calm.


Well , thhhat's IT FOLKS! Have a great day. Moving right along.

Happy Holidays and Surgery Days to All,

MJ

Hey MaryJo,

Looks like you are getting all your things in order for when you come home.  You are going to do great.  You have done everything you need to do to get ready for "your day"!!  I am so happy for you.

Just keep your eye on the prize at the end of this journey.  A new more healthy active lifestyle where you can enjoy everything life has to offer you.

Hi Mary Jo,

Sounds like your ready to go! It reminded me of the nesting phase right before I had a baby lol. Dr. Jones will take awesome care of you!

Good luck!
