What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?
Got the t-shirt from the Gift Shop at work (LOC). Fortunately they're still available online: https://library-of-congress-shop.myshopify.com/ Lots of really cool stuff!

That just might be a Christmas present this year...thanks for sharing the link!
Mel
So glad your felt well enough to share with us today. I know your struggles are real and I keep you in my thoughts and prays. My DH has constant pain as you do. You think Pain Management could do more. It boggles my mind there is so little medicine in the year 2020 can do with causing addictions and mayhem. Fingers crossed your ablation helps.

I wonder why they aren't thinking of bone-building drugs for your cervical vertebrae -- although maybe that's not an option with the other things you have going on - and the other drugs you're on. I've been on Reclast infusions for the last two years, but pending the results of my upcoming bone scan in August, my endocrinologist may switch me to a bone-building drug (rather than a bone maintenance drug - which is what Reclast is).
I'm so sorry you're going through all of this - what a nightmare!
Feel Better, and I LOVE the t-shirt.

Thanks! Turns out that the only drive in theaters that are close to us, are owned by two brothers, and one of them went on a wildly inappropriate 2 week racist tweetstorm at the beginning of the summer. He is supposedly out of the business, but since his brother is the other owner, I think going to the drive in would just be giving racists money... So here we are: our own theater!
It was super fun, but I am not good at staying up until midnight. I was a mess on Sunday, haha. Grim says if we have people over for a movie night again we should start it at 3am when I am just getting up most mornings.
Morning! We finally got rain last night. It's nice to know we won't need to water our lawn and maybe even get a pass on watering the garden today. We've had a ton of peppers and tomatoes. Our cucumbers have been a flop though. We're thinking of pulling those out and doing a different fall crop.
My pictures are of food from our trip to MD. Absolutely amazing Brisket that our friend made in his Traeger wood pellet grill and Maryland blue crabs just before we cooked them. They were hilarious because they are feisty and were escaping everywhere.
My Food:
- Coffee w/ Cream x3
- Egg, English Muffin, Cheese, Strawberries, Cottage Cheese
- TBD, it's take out night. I don't know if we'll do TO or CYOA
I need to get myself dressed and take myself on a 2.5+ mile walk to satisfy the last walk for my class for this week. It's currently 72 degrees and 97% humidity.
