What's on your Tuesday Menu?

I saw some strange weather patterns coming your way. Hope your flight gets off on time. Enjoy your trip.

Have a great trip! I hope you guys land a massive Wahoo!!

I'm sure today will fly by and you'll be on your way to the much deserved time away.

Last day before vacation! I hope you have a wonderful time and soak up some rays.

Mornin' All!

I have to go downtown later this morning to talk to the people who host one of my organization's endowment funds (the org that we're planning to dissolve). If possible, we'd like the fund hosts to take over awarding grants to youth groups that are working on civics-related projects, like our org has been doing for several years. There's enough money in that fund to award grants for many years, and it'd be a way for our organization to continue for years to come, even if we disband it. If they don't do that sort of thing, then we'll have to figure out what to do with that money - probably hand it over to another nonprofit with a similar mission. Anyway, I'll either bike or take the bus there, since parking downtown is a hassle, and it'll be a chance to get in some exercise today (if i take the bus, I'll get off several stops early and walk the rest of the way).

other than that, not much going on today other than going over to my mother's again because she's confused about what bills to pay. A couple of months ago, I set up some to auto-pay since I'm not so sure about her bill-paying abilities any more. I think what may be happening is she's getting e-bills emailed to her, so she thinks she has to pay them even though they're set up to auto-pay. If that's the case, I'll just have them emailed to me from now on.

QOTD: no plans for that at this point - I have too many other things to worry about at the moment, like what to do with these two moms...

B: something more substantial than the usual skyr since I probably won't be having a morning snack. Maybe cheesecake-flavored yogurt pie with fruit compote. And coffee with half & half (already had this)

L: if I'm at my mother's then, she'll probably want to take me to the dining room at her senior apt complex for lunch, since she loves eating there. I'll get soup and a half sandwich - or maybe a salad

AS: protein shake

D: ?? not sure yet

have a great day, everyone!

Good Morning! I'm glad your leg is doing better, enjoy the hammock time.

QOTD: Nope, I hope someone rescues me.

TSS: 8 years 8 months

B: SF latte, Fiber/protein oatmeal, turkey sausage, and an orange

L: Turkey and cheese sticks, carrots, light and fit yogurt and some fruit

S: Protein puffs, a piece of fruit and yogurt

D: Tri tip, cauliflower rice with cheese sauce, a keto bun, a banana, and 2 squares dark chocolate or York peppermints

ES: Cottage cheese

E: I'm taking a rest day

V/W: On track

Totals: Cals:1391 Protein:118 Carbs:130 Fat:56

Have a great one!

Enjoy your rest day! They can be so needed!

Good morning.

Yesterday I got up but I couldn't wake up. I had days like that when my adrenals just don't work, and my morning dose of cortisone is making me awake just enough to move around like a zombie. I was holding to walls while walking, it just made sense. Around 10:30 Keith woke me up again..I fell asleep on a sofa after drinking 2 double coffees, strong tea, while also I took my hormones at 7am. I should have been aware- awaken by then. Nope. I took more cortisone, plus a bit extra synthroid, extra caffeine pill... took a shower ....and fall asleep on the floor in "my room upstairs" - where there's closet with my clothes. It made sense to sit on a floor as I was trying to decide what underwear I was going to wear. Keith checked on me 30 min later. Woke me up again and asked me again if I'm sure I want to go to work. Yeap. I dressed up... make up,..etc. it was noon. So I took one more cortisone, plus decided some food would be good. I had a Ceasar salad with meat, just enough to take the meds. No carbs, so I wouldn't go into a carb coma.

After another 30 min nap with an empty dish in my lap, I decided I'm not fit to drive, changed into "house attire " and took another 60 min nap.

This morning I took 2x my typical cortisone dose. Let's hope this works. I'm scared to take too much cortisone, because if I get too much I get *****y - bossy. And that's "ain't pretty".

I think the cortisone is working today. Bit too much. I just replied to a potential service- vendor re email I got from them telling me what we need. Lol. His service manager told the sales guy "that we need ABC", after I nicely told the sales manager what we want. I made a mistake using "we" in my previous email. So when I was told "THAT we need ABC" ...I replied that I'm the owner and I know what we need and to tell "Anthony to mind his own business and not tell potential customers what he thinks we need". And sent it.

BTW I'm not the sole owner, but I'm the majority owner... plus Brian hates dealing with crap like that, he likes sales. He hates dealing with HR, legal crap, small this like a stupid water filtration system. Or other contracts. Major issues we discuss, but minor - we just deal with it. But even major issues, once we discuss I'm oftent the one who takes care of the logistics. And when we decide how to handle things ( including law suits, contracts, any disputes, etc.) I speak from an CEO/CFO position. My employees know that and act accordingly. And sometimes they see emails from contractors, or vendors who starts questioning my authority.... lol.. "yea, that's what you said, let's hear from Brian". I generally call them "the stupid # ". Because if I have to handle something that used to be Brian responsibilities, or is a major business issue, Nd Brian is in CC, - means he doesn't want to deal with you, I'm and stuck dealing with you. Even though I didn't like that when we signed an agreement with you, and I told Brian I don't want to deal with your **** and he promised me he would handle it". Right.

Can you tell guys I got enough cortisone today?... I can. I would need to balance that with l-theanine. Lol.... I'm high on cortisone... I think I'll wait to give myself B12 shot until tomorrow. And skip string tea and a third double coffee. It's going to be better for anyone.

Anyway:

QOTD: Shot to my own head. Me as a Zombie with arthritis- with teeth implants- no, I rather go fast.

Menu today:

Coffee tea water electrolytes...

Food: with not enough cortisone- food is not appealing, almost repulsive. Enough cortisone I get hungry and can eat, with too much - I don't want to eat. Plus i had some raw carrots last 2 days, and that much fiber - I'm still extremely full. I need more miralax today. Fiber constipates me.

But I have meat, cheese, bacon, apples etc. Hopefully I get hungry by 4....

E: running around like crazy...

Wow Hala, I'm glad you stayed home. I've been through periods where nothing could keep me awake. What you're describing is another level of potential scary if you get in the car to head in and fall asleep. Your job seems mostly hands-on and I hope the business is running well enough that you don't have to stress as much with prioritizing yourself.
