WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY

What is your week end plans? i work tonight then off tomorrow night and work sunday and monday....

we got a lot of cleaning done yesterday in the yard. but still have at least a couple more days of it.
digging and pulling up all the dead flowers and cutting off some of the shrubs.  have to dig up the ones that wont make it thru the winter even if we mulch them really well....

keeps looking like rain but so far nothing , got lots of thunder last night but no more than a few sprinkles....wi**** would rain really well tonight , the woods are so so dry and the deer hunter**** them Saturday in full force and a lot of these guys are city boys that dont know not to throw down cigs in dry leaves....i keep my eyes open and smeller going all the time for woods burning for the next two weeks...

not doing much of anything this morning since i have to go to work this evening i cant wear myself out and then go to work too. more than likely i will have to work on the back station today since it is Friday, oh man i hate working back there. it is boreing and i dont know the patients well and dont know their meds etc etc. whine whine whine lol  got any cheese..

well will get off here and see about my uniforms ....i think i will need to wear long sleeves today to cover up all the scratches and bruises on my arms from working in the yard....i make them look horrible but dont know what to do to keep them from doing it. and dont tell me to wear long sleaves it doesnt work, i get hot and sweaty from working and cant stand anything extra like that on. cant even stand gloves on really....
the skin on my arms is just so thin that it tears really easy ,

We are getting much needed rain.  It started yesterday afternoon, rained all night and still raining today.  I detest DST.  No one I talk to likes it and it makes no sense so why do we have it.  It throws off your whole schedule.

Tomorrow we are going to Firs****ch for breakfast.  I have a free meal for my BD which is Sunday.  Then we're going to look at a couple places to move to.  One is a retirement village, all expenses paid except cable and phone.  Not sure I want to live in a retirement center.  I think it would make me feel old.  The other place is apartments and $200 cheaper per month with all utilities paid except electricity.  Not sure if Max can keep up with the yard work next year.

Saturday afternoon, I'm going to touch up the kitchen cabinets.  We had them painted last spring but there are a few chipped places here and there.  I was going to tile the backsplash but it was too much for me so I'm going to paint that area.  If we decide to sell, I want things to be in good shape.

Sunday we are going to the Dinner Theatre to see Sylvia starring Cindy Williams from Laverne & Shirley.

Max had a scare yesterday.  He was driving home and a car was following very close to him.  Due to an accident, he turned on a side street.  That driver turned also.  He made another turn and the driver whipped around him and stopped.  One kid got out and pointed his finger at Max.  Poor Max was so scared.  Within a few seconds a car pulled up behind him and it was an unmarked police car.  As soon as the officer got out, the boys took off.  Really scary.  This was 1:00 in the afternoon.

Debbie, I'm off T-giving week.  That's the only time I will have available until after January 1st.  I'm off on MLK Day. 

I have a question about protein and I should probably know this.  People who have not had RNY don't have to pay attention to the amount of protein they consume daily.  So, why is it we must have a minimum of 80 grams every day?  I know there is the malabsorption problem.  I'm having a problem getting in 80 grams because I can't eat much protein at a meal and I'm sick of shakes.  I do add a scoop of powder to my yogurt and sometimes to my Click shake.  I haven't been keeping track of the protein but I probably should.

Jo that really is scary the story of Max and the young men...no telling what they were going to do. At least one time that you needed them a cop was on the job huh? that was a big exhale moment i know.

Protein....most people that havent had surgery dont worry about protein is that they eat such enoromous amounts that they probably get their protein in without trying....like how many of them can sit down and eat a huge steak? at one sitting ? a lot of them ...so how much can you eat of Steak? i know with me it is about 4 thinly sliced tiny little pieces , no where near protein levels for meat.
i just more or less keep track of my protein in my head.....i have 30 grams each morning in my protein coffee.....sometimes i will have another cup around noon....so that make 60 grams and then if i havent eaten much during the day i make a strawberry shake....smoothie. make with real frozen strawberries. nice and thick taste just like a thick smoothie you can buy at health bars.  dont know why i dont get tired of them , just dont because i know i have to use them....and i make them taste really good. ..

 Be happy you can get out there and work in the garden. I need to be out pulling weeds but will I? doubtful.
Very little rain up my way so far. WE could use some.

I got a new script for iron today, hopefully it will bring my numbers up. I was hoping I was eating enough meat, guess not.

Enjoy your weekend

Susie take vit C with your iron will help it metabolize where you want it. ....and it helps make it not make you constipated too ...
