Good mornin y'all.
i've got an appointment today with my PCP. I'm considering asking about seeing an endocrinologist, we'll see. I have an appointment every day the rest of the week. My bloodwork is poking to psoriatic arthritis. I see the rheumatologist Friday. I'm looking forward to it.
i'm not in the greatest of moods. It's supposed to be 84° today. Stark compared to y'all's snowmageden. It's going to be bad fire weather and we're under warning ps for it.
B: egg, sausage and coffee
L: ???
D: pulled pork and probably roasted broccoli.
my never ending thumb skin split. Currently I'm using aquaphor and corona cream. The weird thing is it is like a callous. It won't go back together. I tried some new skin and it hasn't helped so far. It's going on two weeks. Not huge but annoying.
Good Tuesday Morning Gang. Boy oh boy did we get hit with a heck of a blizzard. We got over 2 ft of snow and wouldn't you know the bobcat got stuck and then the plow truck decided to crap out so we got to shovel the snow. So much fun. I know Irvin is going to work on getting the bobcat unstuck so he can plow out the driveway. We shoveled enough to get my car out and I made it to work.
I did have a very productive day yesterday regardless of the snow. I pressure canned 14 pints of chicken soup and made braised rabbit and short ribs. We were fortunate not to lose power like other towns. I also watched a great show about gladiators called Those about to die. I think there was 10 episodes.
B: coffee and 2 scrambled eggs
L: leftover short ribs
D: chicken soup
I have to check to see if the Y is open today and if they are we will going for weight training.
Have a great day everyone!1

Mornin everyone.
whew. This week is just lasting forever isn't it? So glad it's Friday. SO GLAD! I get the weekend off of appointments. I have one at 7:55 this morning and I'm none to thrilled about it. It's my retina specialist and this one usually takes at least 2 hours...as much as 5 before. It shouldn't be too bad today as it's his half day. Also his only Friday this month so I was lucky enough to get into his office today other wise it would've been next week or more,
So I tested positive for HLA B27 LC antigen.
Which could be any of these or a few. Next Friday should reveal what the rheumatologist thinks. I've been having a lot of issues with my stomach but I don't think it's anything to due with Crohns or anything of the sort. I think it's the mounjaro.
Ankylosing spondylitis
Arthritis related to Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis
Psoriatic arthritis (arthritis associated with psoriasis)
Reactive arthritis
Sacroiliitis (inflammation of the sacroiliac joint)
Uveitis
pretty sure I have sacroilitis and the NP thinks psoriatic arthritis is a big possibility. Pretty sure there are more test results to come so we'll see.
we have big fires going on in my area once again, one is about 30 or so miles north of us. We are in no danger from it but it's running along a river valley so it's hard to fight. There is one in the OK panhandle and SW Kansas that's huge. It's burned homes and done a lot of damage. Keep this folks in your thoughts.
i also found out an aunt died yesterday. My father's SIL. I'm sad for her family but I really don't and didn't know them...by their own choice. Everyone hated my father and seemed to take it out on my mom, brother and me.
B: hard boiled eggs, ricotta cheese and coffee...also cheese.
L: not sure on this one, something simple
D: thinkin it'll be air fried chicken strips,p with a veggie.
have a good weekend Jennifer and I hope day 2 goes smoothly!
Woo Hoo Friday is here and it looks like we are getting a bit of yucky weather this afternoon, but hopefully it will be cleared before tomorrow. We are supposed to be going in the morning to get the rabbits and the swing over to Hmart for Asian cooking stuff. Crossing fingers the weather isn't to bad.
Day one of the BAU audit went well. Now on to day 2. I'm really hoping for a semi quiet day, but one never knows.
Besides going to get the rabbits tomorrow and breeding the pairs we have I think we will be making some more cages. Irvin's a grandfather again. His son Bob and his wife Adrianna had a little girl yesterday Myla. That makes three for them. Two girls and a boy. Mom and daughter are doing great.
B: coffee and 2 scrambled eggs with cheese
L: tuna melt
D: baked stuffed sole with spinach
Depending on what the weather is doing when I get home will determine if we go to the Y. It is supposed to start snowing later this afternoon.
Have a great day and weekend everyone!!!

Good Friday-Eve Menuer's. The BAU started at 7am and oh boy are things already stressing some people out. Not me though I did everything that was on my list and I'm already cleared. :) I reached out to someone in one of my FB homesteading groups who are selling some New Zealand rabbits. We are looking to add some more breeding pairs to what we have since I now have a few different people who want to purchase rabbits from us. So we may potentially be taking a ride to New Hampshire this weekend we will see.
QOTD: What's the furthest you have ever traveled for something you wanted to purchase? Honestly depending on what it is Irvin's traveled as far as California for a 1970 Cuda and I've traveled as far as South Carolina for a Tennessee Walking horse. While that was years ago, we still aren't afraid to do day trips where we can be back home to take care of the animals.
B: coffee and 2 scrambled eggs with cheese (yes the chickens are really starting to ramp up production)
L: not sure depends on were we are ordering from
D: I think I will skip it tonight.
Tonight, at the Y is low impact aerobics.
Have a great day everyone!!!

If you were nearby I would bring you some pint jars. I think that this was my last year of canning. I forgot how much work it was.
I finally got my refrigerator fixed. I have the American Home Shield Warranty and the first repair company they sent out said I had broken the part that was required. No idea how I was supposed to have done it since it is on the top shelf and I've never touched it. My refrigerator was freezing things and the water dispenser was not working. I had to get a second opinion and they were not happy with the other company because they have to clean up after them all the time.
My boss is in Washington and they have snow right now. We are supposed to get snow possibly tonight. Fortunately I work from home so no need to drive anywhere. I hate driving in snow, I'm a white knuckle driver and avoid it if at all possible. Thankfully I have Instacart and get my groceries delivered.
My narcissus are blooming now, and the grape hyacinths and my daffodils are up but not yet blooming. It seems early to me especially when we are expecting snow. My flowering plum tree is also blooming. Pink petals floating around everywhere. It's the only tree I'd gladly get rid of, its limbs are pretty fragile and I worry that they will break and come down, maybe not on my house but maybe my neighbors.
Have a great day everyone!

Good mornin y'all.
i've got a rare day off of appointments. We need to run to the bank and the fedex store to mail our old modem.
my mom is on a tear this morning. Huffing and puffing. I'm sick of it honestly. I don't do things exactly like her or read her mind so I am always at fault.
i lost a whole 5 pounds in a month or so on restricting calories to around 1600 or less. My doctor had to talk to me like I'm an imbecile. I don't blame him but it really got me down. He has tried and tried, he knows I can't be super active especially now with the new issues. I am fighting a really dark cloud right now.
we're having a lot of wild fires not even 30 miles from our house. We are NOT in danger at all right now. We had a gust of 70mph yesterday. I was on the road back to Amarillo from Lubbock. We got caught in a haboob. It was so freaking scary. Pics below...I was in the passenger seat.
B: protein waffles and coffee
L: prob a burrito or eggs
D: pork boneless ribs and maybe corn
Happy Wednesday Gang. We are halfway through the week. We are in cleaning mode here at work today to get ready for the BAU audit that starts tomorrow. It is going to be a busy day. Other than that not much else going on.
I have to go to Walmart today to get some pint canning jars so I can see if the new cover Presto sent works. It looks like it fits the way it is supposed to and I have so much stuff I want to pressure can to clear out the freezer. So far I have 13 Tulips coming up that I planted in pots. I will transplant them in the Spring in the flower bed I'm going to be making. Irvin and I have big plans for this year.
B: coffee and 2 scrambled eggs with cheese
L: left over pot roast
D: tossed salad with egg salad
Tonight is weight training night at the Y.
Have a great day everyone!!!
