What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?
Happy Friday folks. It's finally here.
Oops I was way off my game yesterday. I got a lot done, but it was stuff that could have waited a month, and the stuff that needed immediate attention was a big "meh" for me.
I decided not to go to the beach today. The one I wanted to go to is closed for algae bloom and I should really try to get ahead of assignments next week since we'll be at our broom class tomorrow and I am teaching on Sunday. I think I will try to be at Trader Joe's when they open at 8am though.
Photo Friday: This was 6 years ago yesterday!
QOTD: How's the weather where you are? It's all kinds of yucky here. 90s, extreme humidity and daily storms that have included lightening strikes causing fires and tiny EF0 tornadoes touching down in bizarre places. I never thought I would hear about tornadoes in NH, but here we are!
Accountability: plugging along and ended the day at about 650 calories because I added a bag of pirate booty.

Good morning everyone.
The staples are out. I was asked what I was going to do now...I said I didn't know. Then they said I feel so bad for you. Yay...the people who could help can't or won't. Today I'll make an appointment to see the pain clinic side. I'm hoping for at least a muscle relaxer to help me relax enough sleep and most importantly to keep my legs from cramping. Guys...I feel very scared right now. I'm sorry I'm a negative Nancy & Debbie downer. Things are just a little bleak to me right now. I'm going to see about CBD oil and talk to the pain clinic about it. I've had a very bad night and lots of extreme pain. Lots of tears.
Not sure what today'll hold. We may go out to eat with my aunt but I'm kind of doubting that we will. I don't particularly like going out to eat. If not today it'll be next week sometime. I need to work on CM.
QOTD: hot here. Today'll be around 100°. Hot and dry. Our big shot at rain is 10% this evening...LOL
B: just egg bowl
L: ????
D: shrimp rolls and maybe left over fish
S: ????
My pics are a meme and two things I've made. The silver is 29 inches in 20awg stainless steel wire. That's prob close to 500 or 600 rings and boy am I glad that piece is done! The snowflake is one of my original designs from 2017. It's in the 20awg too but in copper. It's delicate and has been worn a lot by me...hence some rings are just slightly pulled open.
Have a great day everyone!

Being in that kind of pain with no end in sight must be nothing short of traumatic and exhausting, Mel. You're dealing with it a day at a time while fighting forward. Just saying I see you.
Beautiful pieces, as always! What's the long one used for?

The lady I do some work for uses it to make bracelets exactly to size!
it's daunting to think about but I'm to stubborn to give up. Thanks!

Hope they get you on the THC. I have seen it do wonders for people. The only reason DH won't do it because he has a concealed carry license and would have to give it up if he was on medical THC.
Thank you for the Meme. I think we all can feel that one.
