If there's a silver lining in the health struggles, seeing the extended family together has to be it. Glad you got to hug them all!
Yesterday was so busy and long! Today is only 8 hours of zooms, mostly 1:1s so it will be long too but tomorrow, its only 4 hours of zoom. It will be like a vacation. Today is a little later start, my first meeting is at 830 so that's nice!
When I got home from working out yesterday, I didn't want dinner so instead I snacked my way into eating a little bit of everything, expected to and did wake up with a nice round of RH so after I fixed that, turned off the alarm and I did sleep to 6. At least the bad reaction will keep me back on plan for many months. (PS the "nice" is heavily laden with sarcasm)
adding QOTD - Firefly holds up well, Battlestar Galactica (new edition); I did re-watch The Stand mini series from the 90s a few years ago and it did not.but I could relate to Larry hanging out at the corner waiting for the payphone to ring, lol.
today I will have
coffee plus half and half X 2
either a poached egg and English muffin or yogurt
cheese and olives
street tacos - -I made them yesterday like I needed to but by the time they were done, I didn't want to eat but today I will. At least it reheats well.
Have a terrific Jr. Friday everyone!

So glad to hear your nephew is doing better. Here's to continued improvement.
I go today at 3 for my third iron infusion. I kind of wish they did them like they did in 2018 bigger dose and two weeks apart. This going every week for 4 weeks kind of sucks. My left arm has better veins, but because I bruise they are switching arms each week. I forgot how uncomfortable they are.
QOTD: I don't really watch that much TV mostly stream movies when I have a chance.
5am coffee with raw milk
B: squash and eggs (yea I know I keep it basic and simple)
L: chicken salad stuffed pepper
D: chicken burgers with homemade zucchini relish
S: beef jerky
Have a great day everyone.
When I had 3 infusions, I had the second a week after the first, then I requested the 3rd one to be at least 2 weeks after the second. My body doesn't do well with iron, even infused so getting the third one 2.5 weeks after the second was enough of a break for my arms and for my body to feel good about it.
See if you can reschedule the 3rd and the 4th.

Hi Hala. I did the third and for some reason they used the top of my right hand and it went great. I still haven't even bruised which is weird I always get some sort of bruise after having an IV or blood drawn it's just me. I've kept the 4th appointment just to get them out of the way.

Good morning ~ Glad to hear to hear your nephew is going great - whew. Yesterday was a busy blur. I was so tired but I slept like a baby. My headache and jaw pain are gone. The tooth? I may have something brewing - lovely. I have a job transition and 3 trips back to back, I don't have time for the dentist! Today should be an easier day - one meeting, lunch with kiddo, and finalizing the beast project with a couple of edits - that thing just won't go away. On the bright side, I'll never have to do it again!
QOTD - Nothing coming to mind - I need more coffee
accountability - The nacho bar was bomb - any fears or phobias flew out the window.
b- coffee, yogurt or HB eggs
l - creole - fried green tomato eggs benedict
d-rotisserie chicken
Have a great day!
