Hey all! I just wanted to let everyone know my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, January 8th. I'm excited and nervous but I'm feeling really good about my decision. I wanted to thank everyone for the good vibes, the good lucks and all the informative answers. This site has been a really valuable tool and really quality place to get my nerves out.
I really appreciate all of you!
Wish me luck!

Cold but not too snowy morning here. I'm with Ginny, and could do without snow now but don't mind as long as the roads are clear.
QOTD: I love a good deal so yes I shop sales especially on meat (last week got boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.99/lb) WOO HOO. Since we have a huge freezer we stock up and then I can usually hit Costco for the rest of the stuff and save myself several grocery store runs.
B - greek yogurt
S - PB and melba toast
L - 2 chicken kabobs
S - 1/2 protein shake
D - hopefully chicken something in IP
S - 1/2 protein shake
All vits and water.
Good morning!! It's snowing out here this morning and its cold as balls. I much preferred the mild sunshiny days we had last week. Oh well it is winter in Southwestern Ontario so I shouldn't complain.
Nothing on the go today boring day at work
QOTD: I don't usually coupon but I do price match the flyers whenever I can. I use the Flipp app and just mark up the flyers. I'm sure the cashiers get annoyed with it but hey it saves me money.

Good morning :)
Costco, Costco, Costco!! They have good sales this week. Protein bars and protein powder are on sale. I don't like their protein powder anymore since it uses stevia, but I love the bars. They also have dog stuff that we use so the puppies will be happy :)
We are meeting my grandma there so that will be fun. We actually saw her yesterday but it was a relatively short visit.
QOTD: do you shop food sales? I love shopping the flyers. And I coupon. I couldn't be an extreme couponer, but I like helping our little family save money.

Okay so I'm one that always tries to make sense of strange dreams and this one threw me for a loop. Let me know what my brain is trying to tell me after reading this weirdness lol.
So in my dream I was in jail for some reason. It was never revealed to me in the dream why I was there. I remember being booked in and the guy behind the counter going over my paperwork with me. He stated that I would be provided 4 meals a day and then proceeded to pull out chocolate and vanilla protein shakes. He asked which one I would like at that time. I asked him why on earth am I only being provided shakes for my meals and he insisted that is what I had signed up for in booking.
I went along with it and said chocolate would be fine for this meal. He then stated that I would have to pay for my meals on a weekly basis and the cost was $57.25 a week. Now I have no clue how much they really cost but that's what it was in my dream. I told him that was outlandish and why if I was in jail do I have to pay for my own meals. Again he stated that it was what I signed up for.
After booking is finished he tells me to pick out a cell/room of my liking. I saw several single rooms for one person but then I saw dorm room type of cells where there were around 6-8 girls in each. I went to one of those and tried to join them. The first question they asked me was what was I allowed to eat. I told them I was only allowed to have shakes. They all looked at me and laughed and said oh no you aren't allowed in here, go back to your room you special snowflake, you don't belong here with us. With tears in my eyes I went and found a single cell.
I went back to the desk and asked why I was not allowed to be in a dorm cell with the other ladies. He told me oh that's because you are a special snowflake and need more help and looking after than the regular ladies do. He said it was best for us to be isolated so that we wouldn't be tempted to follow the other ladies and we needed more care than they did. I went back to my cell/room and felt totally isolated and defeated and thought to myself why on earth did I sign up for this? I woke up shortly after that and said okay what the heck was that about.
It was all very strange so maybe some of you can tell me what you think.
