What's on your Wednesday Menu?

What's up, friends!? Happy Hump Day! I got nothing... the recruiter let me know that they won't be calling until next week, so I am just plugging along with cookies & icing. I got a lot done yesterday and hope to do the same today.Yada yada.
The best part of my insane baking schedule is the amount of podcasts and audiobooks I am getting through. Lots of really good stuff!
QOTD: How many pillows do you sleep with? I have one under my head and I start with one under my knee, but I end up hugging it at some point. My kitty likes the 2nd pillow and thinks it is for him :)
Leftovers are gone so it's time to eat real food again.

Good mornin y'all.
My mom's stress test is this morning. Depending on how she feels after will determine what we do the rest of the day.
I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I have a very bad tooth that's also one of the anchor teeth for my partial. I can't afford to get the major work it needs and was denied care credit. Not sure what to do.
QOTD: 3, two for my head and one to hug.
B: chicken and a piece of cheese & coffee x 2
L: salad
D: undetermined

Can you talk to the dentist and do some type of payment plan? Or reach out to your county social services and see if there are any emergency programs you can get help from? Dental care is so expensive and so important to general health.

is there a dental school in one of the universities nearby? I know it is not feasible, but Costa Rica has the best dental care in the world. What cost my brother $80,000 in the US is less than $10,000 there.

Have you investigated your area for dentists who provide reduced price care? Dental care is so expensive even with insurance. I am sorry you have this dilemma.

Good morning everyone. I've got my first outpatient PT today. I really have no idea what to expect, but I'll find out in about an hour.
We're going out tonight, and QJB made us matching tee shirts! I won't give it away, because I'm sure she'll be posting pictures.
QOTD: I have two pillows. It's as many as anyone needs. No one needs a throw pillow of any kind. None.

Someone, somewhere will not get the joke and will believe that to be true

Good morning and happy Wednesday! I have my workout in, my suitcase repacked for the next leg of my vagabond November. Meetings yesterday were fantastic and expecting more of the same today.
Qotd - I'm in a double and right now I have all 6 pillows on the bed I'm using. At home I have 6 or 7 for sleeping and probably 6 decorative that come off at night. My bed is half pillows. My bed is more of a nest!
Menu is pretty unplanned today, I'll have an omelette and some coffee for breakfast and probably just nuts or a protein bar for lunch, dinner will be something in between airports I suspect.
have a terrific Wednesday everyone, the weekend is starting its approach
