What's on your Wednesday Menu?
on 9/20/23 3:04 am
Good Morning! Well that meme couldn't be more real for me. I got home from my long day as a chauffeur last evening and within a few minutes I got that distinct "hit by a bus" feeling of a cold coming on. I actually went to bed at 7pm and slept until 5am! Thank goodness Lisa and I already broke our connection! I woke up still feeling kind of yucky. Not terrible, just a sore throat, headache and stuffy nose. Thankfully I don't have anything going on today, so I will just stay hunkered down and get through some job applications today.
QOTD: Do you like antiquing? I think its fun! It's hard to find places that are really strictly antiques and not mostly "old crap" but it's fun to see interesting treasures.
Accountability: I stopped at my favorite farm stand yesterday where all the most delicious treats live. I bought some to bring home for Grim but amazingly did not eat anything myself. He did not eat them, either. My wallet would have been happier if I skipped it entirely butbetter to buy and throw away than buy and eat, I guess.
I feel too crappy to make a menu. Lotsa coffee for sure.

Oh, I'm going to eat them. But I have a weigh-in at the doctor's office tomorrow!
Which reminds me, I need to check all my underwear and see if any weigh less than the others. These people are terrible -- they don't even let you take off your shoes before weighing in.

Grim, isn't this your first time at that doc/first time in a long time? Wear the heavy clothes and when you come back, wear the light clothes. Instant success!!

Good mornin everyone! So sorry to hear you're not feeling well QJB! Hope it passes rather quickly!
Not much officially planned for the day. We may go to Sam's.
Yesterday was a frustrating day after noon. I finally got through to someone at the insurance. Who then gave me names I've already checked with. I called them again on their advice and no...they do not take Medicaid. I talked to two more people that were not the brightest. One gave me neurologist instead of neurosurgeons. That was fun calling them to also find out they don't take Medicaid either anyways. One insisted that they were the same kind of doctors. Though she at least put in a request for a neurosurgeon with the patient advocacy team. She said I should have a doctor within 7 days. Honestly I'm not holding my breath lol. I am hoping she is right though. I cried while on hold for 20 something minutes out of frustration.
QOTD: not a lot really. My mom has so many chachkies that we don't need anymore!
food is unplanned.
I was able to finish this yesterday. Really pleased with it! It is teeny tiny compared to the ornaments.
also a meme I laughed a little to hard at.
