I'm either hot or cold no in between. I'll be in bed and everything is fine warm and cozy but then I wake up I break out in a sweat. I use an electric blanket when I watch TV, and the kitties usually on my lap and legs. Unfortunately my feet freeze. I have some polar fleece socks that are the only thing that keep them warm.

Hot and cold 24/7! Maybe your recent weight loss is making you cold?

Good mornin everyone.

I'm not sure what my mom wants to do today. My shoulder is in so much pain, I haven't slept much due to it and it's hard to do much. I see the pain clinic tomorrow to see what I need to do. I'm over this **** I'd go to the ER if I knew they'd do something. Last time I went for something I got a "talking to" letter from the insurance about unnecessary ER visits.

QOTD: lotto would be nice. Not having to worry about money would be insanely nice. I would like to break a law of nature and make carbs very good for us. Hahaha.

B: eggs and coffee

L: ????

D: chicken

That meme is hilarious! We are squarely heading into winter here though. It's so damn cold. In fact, question for the ladies who have hit their time--I have always known about hot flashes but is getting INSANELY cold at night a thing? I read that hormone fluctuations can case feeling cold, and lately it's been crazy. I am under blankets surrounded by body heat from Grim and cats, and I will be shivering with my teeth chattering. It's been a few weeks like this. It feels more internal than external.

I have a glorious no-meeting-WFH-Tuesday and I am excited to dig into a few big projects and decorate some cookies on my lunch break.

QOTD: I am torn between rigging a lottery and taking revenge on my vast number of enemies. Grim thinks it's hilarious that I still hold hard grudges against people from kindergarten, but if you wrong me, you will not be forgiven. Ever. Anyway, revenge sounds fun, but getting away from everyone and living on a fancy remote island in a fancy mansion with my fancy boat, and only Grim & cats might be the better choice.

Accountability: Didn't have much to eat yesterday and I actually drank a lot of water and got over 12k steps. Who am I? Of course I woke up feeling hungry so it's not going to be a stellar repeat day.

• protein coffee
• balanced break & apple
• turkey meatloaf
• veggie burger

Good Morning!

Early PT today and then this afternoon the all important ( first ) grant interview that determines whether I can begin saving my apartment .

Since WD was kind enuf to remind me how unsafe and un-private posting on the internet really IS ( and permanent too I darent give the details that would make sense of my apartment sitch?.

Suffice it to say I owe 14 months rent, over $70,000.00 by my landlord?s reckoning which he?s willing to forgive if I move ? which is one big reason I?ve been looking .

Yesterday I saw another 3 bed in Spanish Harlem a floor thru built in 2008 with central air , heat and two terraces and private roof access . Sounds good right ?

But the ? waterview ? was a sliver of highway ( even from the roof) the building dirty and small and miles away from everything and four next door toothless neighbors were literally sharing a crack pipe on the stoop !

I?ve gotten used to knock-U -on Ur butt powerful public marijuana backflow everywhere in the City but smoking CRACK in public ?!!! And this is the second time I?ve seen that this week - once on 43 rd street !

I basically live on the West Side equivalent of Park or Fifth Avenue ( except better air, easier parking,far more mature people walking little dogs than babies or God Forbid , aggressive argumentative teenagers ) .

The City just tore up and repaved my street and Riverside drive though it was perfectly fine ?here the Parks are manicured and the doggie- pee places around street trees are elegantly fenced with flowering plants replaced seasonally.

Even the sidewalks get hosed down by each buildings staff every morning.

So I basically live in luxury and a years fight to straighten out this back rent sitch ( this happened through no fault of my own but the bureaucracy is harder to deal with than Kafka?s Castle lol) may be worth it .

And my ( 2 bed ) 800 sq foot apartment and 600 square foot outdoor space ( with a view ! ) should be enuf City pied a terre for anyone .

I HAVE to stop acting like a greedy cat and trying to garden ever more territory lol

B- ff sf chockachino ( Mexican hot chocolate made w Yemeni coffee ) - yep every bit as delicious ( and high test ) as it sounds . Learned this recipe when I dated a baseball player an eternity ago - it's standard locker room fare :) for a hurry-up-and-wait game .

S, L, D tbd but Osso Bucco will feature somewhere.

Accountability - tired of walking by 59 th street and took subway home then drank rest of wine and slept at 7:30 .

Spastic bladder bedeviled me all day yesterday GRRR!

SO over running to the bathroom and having to BEG access to semi-public bathrooms because I?m about to pee in my pantz.

Have a great day !
