Today is going to be one of those days that I wish I had more energy. It's not too hot our and not too cold. This is my favorite time of the year for temperature but the mold is never too good for me. Since I have been learning to weave, I've met some folks who weave fiber and they also weave baskets. One of the couples who make baskets and sell them at craft fairs has been teaching me to make willow leaf baskets and they are coming over this afternoon to teach me how to make a square container. I like doing it but they get the willow fresh from near a creek by their house and then they dry them and then wet them and make baskets. They make some of the most beautiful baskets that I've ever seen but one can only own so many baskets before becoming a basket hoarder. LOL.
B: boiled egg
L: Tuna right out of the can. I am adding nothing
D: Salmon and broccoli.
S: Cheese
I am trying to increase the protein because I meet with the hematologists Monday and don't want him fussing at me about my diet. Once they learn I am vegetarian they go all crazy on me and blame every deficiency on that and not the WLS.
Ladies...enjoy the early fall...
Hi ladies,
I had a terrible eating this weekend to the point of making myself sick. Today is a new day.
Sorry Jeannie you were feeling so poorly. Hope it gets better soon.
Julia, you are a good friend. Sorry your friend is declining fast. You are right that we are able to move and should be grateful.

Have a good day
Hi Jeannie and Trish,
I like the reading idea vs the running around...I have a free day so I will be doing a bit of both! My friend Linda is going downhill very quickly. Tomorrow is my day with her. I need to talk too with her about getting the DNR signed and Power of Attorney. Also need to ask her how she feels about Hospice. There is a Hospice House that is very nice and they would help her with everything she needs. Her body is almost paralyzed now but her swallowing and speech are still there. Speech is quite slow and breathing is not terrific either. Last week the social worker came and she said unless there are lags in the process she might have six months. She doesn't even have a power wheelchair yet because diagnosis took so long and her disease has been very aggressive. Medicare is woefully slow. Also the Right to Die has passed in CA but it takes six months to get approved. She would have to be able to take the pills herself and she won't be able to in six months. Anyway...this is my life right now. I was crying because I'm watching this happen and it is the saddest thing to see. A bright woman, teacher, with a body that has to be lifted and washed, speech and eating about to go, with nothing to do but wait.
My food today.
Breakfast- slept late
Lunch- Thai food...chicken, a bit of rice, and salad
Dinner- roast with potatoes, carrots and celery
Snack- seeds and nuts, celery with peanut butter
Be grateful for your health. It may not be perfect, but we are all functional!
I am trying to recover from a complete meltdown on Sunday evening. Watching the debate brought up so many stuffed up emotions to life.
I had been sexually assulted in my late 20's. (date rape)... Plus I felt with too many unwelcomed sexual advances from makel as a sales engineer. And my ex husband felt I was his property And he could grab any part of me as he wished. ..ugh.. I hate that emotional Crap.
I thought I dealt 9with all of that emotional stuff.... I guess I did not. Wine and watching that ***** brought emotional outburst from me. My BF took care of me...poor Keith. I was a mess... Still am. I really hate Trump. What he represents.
I don't care for Hillary either. I just hate Trump and his justification of a "locker talk" Crap...

Good Morning Jeannie and OFF,
I had a busy weekend. Took Mom to Lincoln's flag football game yesterday. It was cold, but she stayed warm.
Today, I'm cleaning my bedroom, and then going over to watch the kids while Colleen does PTO work at the kids' school.
Must scoot.
Hugs,
Trish

I hope everyone's weekend was restful. The oaks and cedars are driving me crazy. Fall and spring really mess with me: Spring it's the pollen and fall it's the mold. The oak leaves are falling and they have this mold that becomes airborne and even when I stay inside, the damn stuff gets on DH's clothes and comes through the ventilations system. I spent both Saturday and Sunday with swollen and itchy eyes to the point I finally took the really strong allergy medicine and slept for those two days.
I have decided to spend today reading and maybe doing a little writing.
B: loaded oatmeal--1/2 cup
L: Oyster Stew.
D:Tuna Salad
Snacks: stick cheese
Ladies, talk away.
Good Morning,
Quick check in. Been crazy busy lately.
B: Yogurt with granola
S: Cheese crackers
L: Leftover pasta and sauce with chicken.
S: Apple
D: Leftovers Not sure what
Hugs.

Kathy, I tried to post a reply to you and my computer would not let me. Now home - and my tablet is cooperating.
I just want to tell you how impressed I am with your progress. I followed you from before you had surgery and see how sometimes challenging things were for you. You loss was slow at the beginning and You would reset and plug along.
Some people give up.., You slowly getting closer and closer to your goal..
We all have not so great eating days.. But as long as we have more good days...it will show..eventually...
I wish you best... Seams that you got things going well ....one day at a time...one meal at a time...
Hugs...
