Good morning.....it is Tuesday...what's new....

Hmmmm, not sure WHAT you wrote, Arlene!  LOL!  Looks like Russian???

Don't know what you wrote, Arlene.

Hi Ladies....

Well, I'm bushed!  Got to the Food Bank at 8:00, had to leave at 10:00 for MD appointment, then went right back to the Food Bank to work on tonight's dinner - just got home at 8:00.  I ache.  But I brought home a container of butternut squash soup - Yummy!!  Also have a container of garden salad with cheese.  So I just had some soup, and will have some salad a little later.  I could go meatless, but I've got a freezer full on f meat.  So maybe I'll just do 2-3 meatless days a week and not buy any more meat.  I probably have enough meat to see me through the Summer.  The other day I made split pea soup - I used a ham bone, but there was very little meat on it.

I am seriously thinking of changing PCPs - my doctor is a nice man, but I just don't get his attitude about pain medications.  Says after a while they don't relieve your pain anymore.  I guess that's why the drug companies are doing so poorly, right.  I don't mind him trying to get me off the medication I'm currently taking - but I am in pain and I need pain medication -- so if you're going to take me off "x" -- then you better prescribe "z"....  Maybe I'll try a doctor from another hospital's medical group.  

Well, I tried some crocheting last night - very difficult because I haven't done it in several years. I'm going to search youtube and find an instructional video for a refresher course.  I told Maura about going to Michael's and she wants to go too.

That's it for now - got to take some medicine for my old achy body!!  Wishing you all the best!

Mary

Hey Ladies,

I hope you are all doing well....Eileen, DH and I both had this horrible cold about a week or so ago and I thought it would never end. Congratulations on the weight loss...that is great news. 

Vic, one slip up isn't bad and in the grand scheme of things, it was a candy bar and you threw the coke out...you do good to throw the coke away and held yourself accountable...got back on track...and are as motivated as ever.  I, too, have so much more energy and have less pain and inflammation than before switching to a plant based diet.  I cannot sing it's praises enough.  I notice when I walk up and down the hallway how easy it is and the energy...geeze...I love it.  My skin is getting it's elasticity back too.  

Julia, I love shopping for coloring things too.Connie, I hope you start feeling better soon.  I've forgotten who else posted.

I am about to watch the state of the union address...My grandkids (the 11 and 8 year olds) have been given an assignment to watch the address and identify the important points and I added to that to pick one economic goal that has been met...so they just texted me telling me they are ready to take notes.  They are such good little students. 

Ladies, have a good night.
