WHATS HAPPENING WEDNESDAY

Start of my 5 days in a row off....oh boy maybe i can get things done around here now that need it. ...
Today is shade garden day....as soon as i get off here i am going to go spray myself down with bug spray to keep the skeeters away and go to town in that area. the flower beds need some attention , badly....one has just gotten way out of hand...needs lots of tlc for sure. anyone want to come and pull weeds today with me ?

Joe finally got the part in for my dryer and has it running again. i came home last night and washed 2 loads of clothes and dried one before i went to bed and started the dryer on a load of towels but turned it off and went to bed, just turned them back on while ago. I dont know it doesnt seem like it is drying as well as before tho....maybe i just had too much in there ...will see...

need to set out some chicken for supper tonight. and when i get done weeding in the shade garden will have to get some fresh green beans going too for supper...will cook potatoes in with them close to the end of their cooking ....George said he had never eaten them like i cook them , said they were really good. I told him there is a world of difference in grow your own veggies and the stuff you buy in cans. he has never liked green veggies at all and he is eating all sorts of things now lol....making a country boy out of him  for sure.

well i know this is short but will probably have more to say about my day after i get out there and get busy...i need the stress reliever of pulling weeds to get work out of my head .....
it has been bad here lately.

Hello Jan & Missouri,
Glad you can get out and do some stress-reliever things. Mine is defininately not weeding, in fact DH just hired a neighborhood kid to weed for us and put down Preen, etc. It's a good thing because the kid is in college and needs to make some money and DH won't be complaining about a sore back anymore. I don't do weeding much - maybe 30 minutes a summer!!!
I still cannot get back to my ultimate lowest weight. I would like to lose 10 pounds but 7 would make me very happy. I've lost some but I'm not doing so good.
I was going to do clear liquids - sort of mini pouch test but DH made reservations to go to Area Residents Appreciation at Yakov Smirnoff's theater tonight and they serve dinner at intermission so I knew that wasn't a good plan until the end of the week. It's not too WLS unfriendly, if you don't count the peach cobbler!!! Oh well, I'll do my best to be thoughtful of what I need to eat and in what order. I am finding that any breads fill me up really quickly and of course they are what I want most. Then I start sneezing and feeling overly filled and yucky so I'm trying to be careful with bread for the immediate future. I am using the Orowheat whole grain flat buns and they don't hurt!!
Hope to see you all on the 13th??? of August at COF.
Hugs,
Lana

lol i guess i wont be asking you to help play in the dirt huh?
 
hope you have fun tonight. dont eat the peach cobbler...lol

yeah i like the orowherat buns too , but too much so i dont buy them for me . but if i do i use only a half of one at a them.

...

You have to eat something - they are only 100 calories!! You know you could skip a protein shake, eat a piece of chicken on a bun and be soooooo happy!!
Just giving you a bad time!!
Love you,
Lana

We had torrential rain last night right at 5:00.  Took me an hour to get home, 12 miles.  Water was standing in the streets.  I was afraid I was going to wash away and I would be on the 10:00 news being rescued.  There have been numerous huge trees around the area that have been uprooted.  We have several big trees so we're hoping none of them topple over.

I bought a sample pack of protein powder and one flavor is Roadside Lemonade.  Instead of oatmeal I really wanted, I made a shake with the lemonade.  Ugh....doesn't taste like lemonade to me.  I added a package of Crystal Lite lemonade and it helped, but sure wouldn't want a jug of it. 

I ordered Any Whey protein powder online.  It's recommended for baking.  I priced it several places and there's a big difference in price.  The shipping is way too high for some vendors.  The place I ordered from has a $4.95 shipping charge no matter how much the order.  I also ordered more of the LaNouba Belgian waffles.  Don't know why they call them Belgian waffles.  They're more like cookies and taste like a waffle cone.  There's 3 small pieces in a serving. 

I have my gym clothes in the car and will go there right after work. 

glad we didnt get a hard rain , but could use a shower ....glad you didnt float away and wind up on the news. lol ....
yeah i bought that sample and didnt like any of them ...i still and always have liked my vanilla whey protein mix.
Proud of you and sticking to the exercise program....you will start seeing results soon. dont give up on it.

 I am hoping to start feeling better soon but right now I am miserable. Lord knows I hate to have to cough. I still feel like I have hit by a truck. I sure hope it will be worth it in the end. I have four drains in the front but none in the rear and it is really swelling. I had to change my compression garment already because of seepage around the drains. I have not been sick to my stomach or dizzy. I guess that a plus.
 I hope to get to normal before my pain meds run out. Keep me in your prayers. I plan to sleep a lot if I can. I am in the recliner but I cannot get out of it by myself.
I did not get all my weeding done I left for KC so it will have to wait till fall now. I only hope it doesn't grow like it has been or I will have a jungle.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Hey Susie, just wanted to tell you that I used Kotex for the seeping. It worked great for me. My garment held them in place and was easy to dispose of. Was more comfortable too. Hang in there it willl get better. The swelling will last along time. They told me maybe 18 months, I still swell when I do alot and it has been nearly 8 months. Wearing a garment still helps with that.

Hugs

Susie i would think that being cut all the way around would be very painfull but i know it will heal and things will get better ....hang in there. im sure it will be worth it soon. I certainly will pray for you to heal fast.
by the time you are able to weed again they will probably be tall as you are , well that wouldnt have to be very tall would it ? lol  hang in there. you are tough and will make it thru ....
