Tuesday What is UP?
Good morning, Monica and my OFF friends! Just a quick drive-by before I hit the shower and get ready for work.
Not a lot going on here but HOT, HOT, HOT. Sick of summer already! Now that my weight has stabilized for some time, I guess my metabolism has finally adjusted and I'm not cold all the time. Damn....I sure enjoyed the last few summers. Oh well. Could be worse!
Starting to actually look forward to going to the gym with Gary. It's nice to have something to do in the evening instead of just vegging in front of the tv.
Hope everyone is doing well. Prayers and good thoughts to all!

Good mornin' ya'll.
My DIL brought me some shorts from a co-worker to be hemmed. This happens a lot and I am more than happy to do it. I always tell them there is no charge. I always get a thank you card and a GC from someplace. They give me MUCH more than my 10 minutes of time is worth. So this time, I sent a note back with the shorts telling the girls that from now on, if they are happy with my work, I would love a candle, or a refill for my B&BW wallflower smelly, or bubble bath. I feel that is still more than I have earned! What would ya'll do?
I'm gonna need another 1/2 skein of one color for my Eeyore. I am so close to being done! I got yarns from 5 places for these stuffed animals, 2 online. I have my fingers crossed that I got this from one of the 2 places here in town!
I asked the 2 grandkids that are coming on Sunday, what they would like to have on hand to eat. My granddaughter wants raspberries, oranges, bananas, chili, corn on the cob and vitamin water. Our grandson wants cherry cheesecake, brownies, ice cream, choc chip cookies, tacos, bacon cheeseburgers, french fries, tater tots, mt dew. What a difference in kids!!
Treadmilled, showered, dishwasher unloaded, clothes folded and put away. Gotta wait for Han**** Fabric to open so I can try to get the yarn I need.
My, I was very long winded today, sorry.
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

Good morning everyone!
Yesterday was a very tough day for me food wise. My protein, liquids, and vitamins were all in place but I have been home alone for 4 days while MIke is away on business....and the old demons knocked at my door. I ended up on a 2 day binge of sugar free ice cream.
And I know now that I CANNOT buy that again. If I want to PLAN for protein ice cream or frozen greek yogurt, I can PLAN for that - but this eating alone, binge eating, and overindulgence in a trigger food simply has to be dealt with. It's that compulsivity I know. But knowing it in my head and resolving to NOT do this again....there lies the battle.
Today I have work to do from home, and also see my dr. to follow up on the antidepressant he prescribed. I think I feel better overall, but it would barely have had time to take effect yet. However, some of the feeling better probably stems from putting the issue out on the table.
Haven't exercised for 2 days so need to get my butt in gear, too.

Morning all...sober 217 days and so proud of me.
Had a productive day on the medical appointment issues. Got hubby app for new PCP at local VA OPC. Very helpful nurse manager and schedule person, made app for him next week with a PCP who can then direct referrals to specialists and mental health providers. I was ready for a struggle and didn't get one. Black Traveling Bra on for support!!! The clerk who gave us such a horrid experience last fall is no longer at the VA, so we don't have to deal with him. Hubby goes in on Monday for new patient orientation even though we have been with VA for over 20 years, we will abide by the rules cause "ways" change and we can learn. Then he has blood work that same day. Two days later he meets with new doctor, she comes from Mayo Clinic and will be director of his care. The Big majority of his special care will be at Bay Pines, around 60 miles away, but that is how it works. Hopefully we can bunch app's for a few on each day.
I then called a local medical group, interviewed the office manager about conditions of office...asked if she is happy, treated with respect, is staff treated same way, waiting times, # of pt's scheduled each day, amount of time she worked there, etc. Loved the honest answers she gave me. The doctor I requested is a DO in Internal Medicine and I had looked him and a few others up before hand all based on Internet search. The office is a huge group of primary care, with specialist, PT, lab, and other services offered right there. Close by and associated with 2 local hospitals. Black Traveling Bra helped me with all this.
Son Angus doing well in MT. Beautiful here, sun and lovely breezes and incredible bird life. There are wild green parrots at the dog park and they play for us and squawk. Yoda has such fun there and after he "trees" a squirrel he runs to us for praise and hugs.
Hope you all have a good Tuesday. Wishing Trish peace and Sue some help with her Mom's situation. Lynne, burn the ice cream, it is like bread in the house with me. I visit the bread aisle, feel it, smell it, squeeze it, and leave it, otherwise it sits in my kitchen and screams at me. I know feeling a frozen pkg of ice cream isn't the same as a loaf of bread, but you do feel empowered leaving the store without it in your bag. Better eating today women.
