Happy Hump Day Gang!!! They have started to take boiler 1 down to make the repair in one of the Urea port areas. Besides that, it should be a quiet day. I have to call New England Steak and Seafood to make reservations for Friday night. It's Irvin and mine's 5th anniversary, even though we've been together since 1998 we made it official in 2020.

QOTD: What classic Christmas or Holiday song can you listen to over and over again without getting tired of it? Jingle bells and Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.

B: tea and breakfast wrap

L: 2 shrimp tacos with beans and rice

D: veal and mushrooms

Have to run a few errands tonight so not sure if we will make it to the Y.

Have a great day everyone!!

Good evening, hope your day stayed quiet and that the Y was a good workout.

We had our daughter and her family over yesterday (finally) for a tree trimming get together. It took all weekend to get the house pared down enough to find room for all of us. Makes me wonder how my grandma hosted three families of her kids, their spouses and the grandchildren all in a teensy little WWII bungalow. I served a loaded baked potato bar and had oodles of sides and blew all caution to the wind w/my food. The things I ate (cauli instead of potato) amounted to around a tablespoon each and then I had a thin slice of chocolate chip cookie pie.

QOTD: Absolutely. Money will always be an issue but there's always the usual stuff like Toys for Tots and the Angel Tree at church, various food drives. At one of Hub's past duty stations the squadrons would each select an anonymous family and put out suggestions for sizes of clothes, interests and ages for toys and we all would contribute and have them wrapped and tagged by the due date. The squadron would provide the holiday meal and since all of us were poor together it was nice to be able to help out as a group.

B: two mugs of ho****er

L: coffee and half a protein bar

S: ho****er and the other half of the bar

D: 3 oz chicken breast and 1/2 cup of FF cottage cheese

It's day 3,847 since Nutritionix went offline for "upgrades" and I'm slogging through without it but should be eating better.

PS: I was so busy this weekend that I forgot my 19 year Surgiversary on Saturday.

Good mornin y'all.

yesterday was rather awful but it is over so on to today.

we've got to get some groceries. My brother and middle nieces birthdays are the 15th and 12th so we're doing a dinner Sunday. Chicken fried steak and chicken sandwiches. So I'll be tired then.

I think my mom's wanting to go by the thrift stores.

QOTD: I have done stuff when able. I had a friend whose husband lost his job right before Christmas. I got their son some gifts and one for each parent. Wasn't a super expensive endeavor but I felt the need to do it and I don't regret it one bit. I love my friends. I also remember a year when some friends made my year for Christmas...I would never ever be a billionaire as I believe in helping my fellow humans. Even if it just a coffee to say you're thought of and such. It just makes me happier to give than receive.

food is unknown at this point.

Do you have a bariatric doctor you can call? It could be a hernia or a stricture both of those would cause narrowing of the pouch. I would definitely get it checked out.

Good morning everyone.

i meant to post Friday, even uploaded photos but we had to leave in a hurry because I forgot an appointment. Opps.

today not much is planned. My doctor was out Friday so I should be hearing from his nurse or the Education nurse today some time. My blood sugars are yet again out of whack. I'm hoping he'll prescribe back the long acting insulin. Yes, another shot but it helps a lot. We'll see though...

I am really struggling with depression right now. I see my mental health provider Wednesday but I have little hope for improvement. He will only be my provider this next visit as I'm requesting a change after I have surgery. He just doesn't listen...at all. Blames me for all the meds they've prescribed. Just had enough.

QOTD: a really good spice mix. Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and all. Also just baked goods.

breakfast was an egg pita, the rest is unplanned.

pic dump!
