What's on your Wednesday Menu?
Wow what an experience getting the grands to the airport on time. Very frustrating. I also dislike night driving since the line of sight is so much reduced, then driving in a different unknown location makes it worse.
I forgot about Cracklin Oat Bran-that is pretty tasty cereal.

I don't like cereal and really don't like milk but will drink some type of milkshake type drink, made with lactose free milk and lactose free ice cream. Maybe once or twice a year. My breakfast is normally whole wheat toast and maybe a slice of Kraft American cheese. I also don't like eggs. I would not eat pancakes growing up, but when I was about 18 I tried some at Perkins and they were delicious. Nothing like the flat sour things my mother made. Sometimes I take the time to make myself one pancake for breakfast using 1/4 cup of Kodiak pancake mix and 1/4 cup of milk. At a restaurant I might order sausage, bacon, or ham with pancakes and take half of it home. I remember often stopping at a little store on my way to school and getting a Nestle Crunch bar and telling myself I had cereal for breakfast. The only way I liked cereal.

Mornin folks. Hope all is well with you :o)
I have an appointment with the pain clinic to get my pump filled and to talk to the doc about a few things. I don't know if I mentioned it before so forgive me for the repeat if I did. Monday was the day I was supposed to be able to take the binder off. I did start the day with out the binder but the day ended with it on. At some point I sat down and noticed a bigger than usual bulge where the pump is. I looked and it was side ways and definitely not laying flat like 6 weeks in a binder should've done. Sooo. That's fun lol. Who knows what the solution is. Depending on the other issue who knows. I'm so blah over most everything. I did get pissed yesterday but it was much more controlled than it normally would've been normally.
Yesterday we got all but one of the a/c units in. My mom had to do the heavy lifting but I helped tape and place the. It was up to around 85 yesterday and this house retains heat waaaaay too well. It was needed. We also had to buy a new printer. My nieces and nephew are super into Pokémon and they had sets on clearance so we called my brother and he had us get a set for each...they happened to be in their colors! 3 for the cost of one the printer was also 40 dollars off on special. Sam's club can be great!
QOTD: I like to eat dry cereal. Things like the cheerios or what not. I don't care much for most sugary cereals. The last few times I had cereal with milk it made me very icky feeling and sick. It was with both almond milk and 2% milk.
B: oatmeal and coffee x2
the rest is unplanned.

Let us know how your appointment goes. Especially the urinary issues you are having. Good luck!
I am envious of the need for A/C. It was 26 degrees out this morning!

Thank you! They pretty much brushed me off. Even though I reacted to this med orally this way. It's not common at all. All they did was refill the pump. It's a different concentration but the same dose as before. They just said to text the nurse in a week if the symptoms don't improve. I have to wear the binder indefinitely

Humpty Hump!
My endocrinologist appointment went well. My sugar was 77 at the beginning of the appointment, so I got the cookie and juice treatment. But more importantly my A1C was down a whole point and the doctor was very happy about that. I can stop the Glipizide and go back to Ozempic instead. She said to make sure that I continue to eat because the 2.0 will have an appetite suppressant effect. As if. Pretty sure that isn't going to be a problem.
I talked to her about my issues standing up and she wants me to test my blood pressure before and after standing. If there is too big of a difference she may adjust my blood pressure medication down. Definitely won't do that tonight but maybe over the weekend.
There is some backsliding from CSM on my sons fall schedule. I don't even have the strength to type it. Hopefully it resolves today.
This morning I have to lift and then this afternoon is Crossfit. Normally I lift 3x a week and go to 4 Crossfit classes. But while I am preparing for the June 3rd meet, I am lifting 5X and just going to 2 Crossfit classes. I try and do 2 of the lifting sessions at our Crossfit gym so that I stay connected to the community even though I am only in the class 2x. My goal for the meet is to score high enough so that I would qualify for Nationals as a 60 year old. Then I just need to hold on for a couple of years even if I do not get good enough to qualify as a 55 year old. 64 Kilo Snatch and 80 Kilo Clean & Jerk would do that. At this point, I feel pretty good about the Snatch and the Clean part of the C&J, less so about the Jerk.
Happy Hour tonight. We are getting a new shipment of Sparkling Wine in the next two days, so I think that I will open one of the existing bottles of sparkling in our fridge.
QOTD: In college it was Captain Crunch. But not a lot of cereal since then. Why mess around with cereal when you can go straight to Dunkin Donuts blueberry muffins?
Breakfast: Ham and scrambled eggs
Lunch: TBD
Dinner: leftover Ham
Have a great day, all!

Did Dunkin have a blueberry glazed cake style donut?

Oh yes! But remember when muffins were considered healthier than doughnuts?
