What's on your Wednesday menu, everyone?
Welcome home.
I migh****ch that show. I don't like kitchen shows because of all the pressure they are put under. I hate cooking and felt that pressure on a daily basis when the kids were little. Not that anybody yelled at me but it was the pressure of producing something the kids would actually eat. It was always a struggle. So it's almost like PTSD, in my small world.

I agree on preparing meals for the kids. Sometimes I would make something for DH and myself and something different for the kids. I know that is cringey but sometimes I wanted something spicy and flavorful. I think the kids did grow into a more varied palate. Thank Gawd they can now prepare their own meals if they dont like what I have prepared.

I went and listened to that song; that's an interesting group! I totally assumed it was a person, not a duo, lol.

I also thought Bob Moses was the lead singer's name originally. They're Canadian so they probably would apologize for being unintentionally deceptive with the babe.

King of the Hill is funny. Are they still producing new episodes?

Hi everyone. My tummy finally feels normal so I don't feel grumpy, so I'll come out of hiding :-) I had planned to continue running daily through the summer but this mornign I felt like I needed variety. I decided to do a mishmosh: jumprope, jumping jacks, weights and situps. Yesterday I did one of my workout apps, so I think varierty is what I'm seeking for the moment.
I saw my endocrinologist recently to revisit my thyroid med doasge- my levels were way out of whack. (I have no thyroid gland). Interestingly enough- my high cholesterol (& weight) was what led to realizing the thyroid dosage was off, since one effects the other. Anyway, in chatting with him he offered to help me with weight loss, and suggested meds. He gave me names of 3 to read up on. I'm struggling to decided if I want to try that. Almost feels simialr to the 'do I need surgery debate'. I'm hesitant b/c I do have good habits overall, just need some finetuning. The med he favored has a manufauctring issue- so I've got time.
QOTD- I've been watching Transplant on Hulu- I've really like it. I wish I found a podcast I like- I think I'd enjoy it. But the few I've tried starting I get way too agitated with speech patterns- ums, ahhs, throat clearing...it drives me over the edge.
