What's on your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?t

Good morning. I woke up in the middle of the night with a horrific migraine and even though I am feeling better, I stayed home today. It's pouring out, gloomy and cold. Perfect for a sick day and a serious nap.

QOTD - I would love to be Jane Austin during her time period. I would love to know what her life was really like and what she was really thinking. Not just the stuff I've read about her and of course her writing.

Feel better and take a nap!

I love JA too. Read and reread her novels. They never get old. Except maybe Emma... Just can't stand her.

I feel the same way about Emma!! haha...

Don't let me get started on her father!

Good morning. No...strike that...just "morning" today.

This is one of the worst days. Work is rough. Got lots of emotional trauma patients to work with and that sort of thing does a number on me sometimes. Super draining for me when I work with abuse victims.

My tires crapped out yesterday on the way to my friend's house and I ended up needing to replace all four...to the tune of 525 bucks I didn't have. Uhg.

The doctor was super great and very compassionate....as he explained why I need to have surgery to repair the internal hernia he sees on my radiological studies. :( Laproscopic, low risk...blah blah blah. I am SOOOO tired of being sick, of recovering from surgery, and of having my belly button cut apart! Arrrg.

So... rough day and feeling raw from finding out I need surgery is not leading me to feel anything but craptastic. Uhg. I kick the grass.

Menu: Poop, poop, poop. Nothing sounds good and I hate everything. Kick some more grass.

Accountability: Not smoking because goodness knows I seem to have more than enough wrong with me...not a chance in heck I am going to risk making it worse. Grass kicking. Weight is 128 this morning. Doctor says I am likely retaining fluid and/or not able to empty my bowels properly due to the loop of bowel that is hanging out in the wrong part of my abdomen so I am just not even going to stress about the scale until after the surgery. Stick to my menus and measured stuff I know and I will be ok.

Uhg. Kicking grass some more.

Oh wow, that sounds just...awful. All of it. I am so sorry :/

Have you scheduled the hernia repair yet?

Next Wednesday. Wheee. I know it will all be fine, just pouting for a minute.

Totally sucks!! We are all pulling for you. So sorry to hear that you need to have another surgery along with everything else going on. If there is anything I can do-please reach out.
