Good mornin everyone, hope you're all ok.
Not 100% sure what today'll hold. I just know I'll be getting the X-ray. After that? Who knows.
My Facebook request for a support group about spine issues was FINALLY a approved yesterday. I made my initial post and have gotten good replies. It's cemented my belief that I need to get a second opinion. It'll just depend if Medicaid will approve it.
My stomach is in turmoil this morning. It feels like someone is wringing out my guts like a wash cloth. It would seem I can't eat tomatoes.
qotd: for myself, no. I don't wear leggings as I have a hard time finding ones I like.
B: JUST egg, homemade sausage, 1 cheese stick and coffee before
Haven't decided what else the day will include.
Have a great day everyone.

When i lived in a huge metro I wore them all the places and never ran into any bod I knew. Then i moved here, wore them once, Ran in to EVERYBODY I knew and quit. Fast forward....i just don't care my body hurts all the time and they're comfortable so I wear what I want. I answer to no one but the Lord and my husband and neither cares.
shake

Good morning everyone. Today is going to be a busy day at work, but a good day. I am so happy to be back at work, loving and serving my seniors. I have decided to wean myself off of the Lexapro. I talked to my doctor about it and she agreed. I just feel numb, like zero emotions. I want to be present and feel the feels. My mental health has improved so much since returning to work. I know that I am always going to deal with driving anxiety, but that is something that I am just going to have to work on. I have an appointment to see my counselor next week too.
QOTD- No, no pajamas ever in public. I don't even leave the house without makeup on. I struggle to even wear leggings outside my home.
Food plan for today-
Josephs pita, 1 egg , 2 oz pepperino garlic ham
protein shake
Shredded pork, onion, jalepeno, green pepper, salsa
not sure on dinner
Have a great day everyone.

I'm glad you're taking the steps to improve. Only you know you better than anyone.

I weaned myself off of Zoloft for the same reason. Everything was just flat, I didn't feel anything. I cut the dose in half and then took one every other day and then just quit. I didn't have any withdrawal symptoms and now I'm so glad I did. I get the driving anxiety but I got through it and you can too. Take it easy on yourself and you'll be fine.

Good morning, everybody!
Big News, today. Despite my Wednesday comments, we got a reservation! Marilyn has continually been diligent about checking the French Laundry website, and when she looked yesterday, an outdoor table that could seat 8 was opened up. She called me in panic yesterday, because she had to commit for our whole group before the opportunity closed.
I told her "just book it and we will cancel if people change their minds." Unfortunately, it was non-refundable, which sent her back into a panic because she would need to put the whole costs for the party of seven on our credit card, and she was worried that people wouldn't like the outdoor table. Fortunately, she was able to get in touch with the other wives and went for it.
She is emotionally exhausted today, but on Monday my menu will be Thomas Keller. For what its worth, we think that they extended the seasonal outdoor table service because of the mild weather forecast.
I got through my busy day yesterday in good shape. Happy Hour is tonight and I am officially 5 years from retirement (at the most) at 5:00 EST.
QOTD: OK, have have I ever wore my Cookie Monster fleece in the car to get drive through coffee or drop the kids at school? Probs. But that is about the extent of it, nothing that would involve getting out of the car. Addidas sweatpants is a different story.
Breakfast: omlette
lunch: fish tacos
Dinner: Cabernet
Have a great day, all!

Even though I have no idea why that restaurant is so hard to get in to(I'm seriously out of touch) I'm so happy y'all were able to get reservations! Congrats!

Marilyn has a pool pre-meeting with the Sommelier and Concierge, which is a new source of stress.
