Majority was in the wild as in...just on the park islands or in the water. You can't be in the park without a guide, who keeps you from doing dumb tourist things. We did go to the tortoise center where they were raising babies for repopulation initiatives and were on a protected piece of land for part of the tortoise visit. You were supposed to stay ten feet away from wildlife but sometimes they approached you. I was run over by a lizard and a few birds and slightly chewed by a sea lion. Mostly unscathed.

Good morning, everyone

Happy hump day indeed! I did spend half the day getting the minimum done yesterday but when kids or Mom and Dad are sick it feels like time is a black hole.

QoTD: I have a few pet peeves but probably high on the list is when someone can't just scroll on and feels the need to yuck someone else's yum. Dialogue is one thing but being a jerk is something else.

Today's plan is to continue to push fluids and keep moving even if it is a putter at least until midday. I made a fresh bulk batch of boiled eggs in the instant pot and did a bit of refrigerator clean out while I started on sipping broth and a cup of coffee with protein shake as creamer. There are still a few things that I have to do today before I can feel ok about trying to get some rest.

Today will probably be similar to yesterday because I am still feeling run down with this weird mild congestion and cough and half of the kids are still dealing with a recent stomach virus. I wanted to do some fun baking with them but no one is really able to enjoy it right now.

B - sipping broth, coffee with protein shake

water

L - malt=o-meal with canned pumpkin and pie spice and ground flax, boiled egg

water

D - boiled egg and? Maybe I will get some inspo on the daily thread, IDK. I hope everyone has a good Wednesday

Sounds like you are a newbie. How far out from surgery are you?

Sometimes I feel like a newbie, (I was on here but couldn't get back into my account/momyshaver). I had VSG in June of 2017 and a medical revision to a type of bypass due to scar tissue in my stomach a year later. I don't regret the surgery because some weight related health issues are in remission; however, I have dealt with new issues, but I feel like I am in a pretty decent place right now. My weight is in the normal range, my labs are good and I grew a new human, lol. What more can I ask for on that front?

Good mornin y'all.

Yesterday I found out through a message on their patient portal that they won't be doing anything to help me at my neurosurgeon's office. Then they told me that I should continue with pain management. Like wtf are they doing now? Nothing. They are the only ones who take Medicaid here. My mom wants me to make an appointment with the pain management side and she wants to raise hell. I have nothing left to lose so I'll be doing that today. I'm also going to reach out to a certain doctor who might take Medicaid. We'll see. My spirit is just down in the gutter. No one gives a ****(in the medical field) that I feel the way I do. It's seem especially cruel and inhumane the way they've treated me.

My niece Rachel's end of semester orchestra concert is this morning so we have that to do today. We're supposed to either get a lot of rain or a lot of snow tomorrow and the end of today. Our weather is considered one of the hardest to forecast because it absolute bonkers. One degree difference determines such big things.

QOTD: holy crap, just one? I've with Jen. I can't stand people who rain on other's parades. Like the whole Christmas decorating to early. Who the heck cares? If it makes the person happy then that's all that matters. I can't stand trolling either. I've gotten this on my FB page for my chainmaille stuff. Oh and Etsy too. I got a bad review, my only one, because the numb nut didn't read the title, that was in caps, telling them to read everything. Keyboard warriors also tend to annoy me. Those who seem to have taken a sip of liquid courage right before typing.

food is terribly unplanned. I had eggs for breakfast and coffee x 2. Everything else I haven't got a clue about.

Good morning ~ I've been down that chip tube myself. I hope you hear from the local job offering and have a great class tonight. I had a another successful day at work yesterday. Today will be busy again, what's new. Other than some gift cards, I think I'm done Christmas shopping. i really should organize the gift to see what I have though. I bought way more for kiddo than I planned and I want to at least see the ratio of gift per person. I ended up buying his girlfriend several gifts and hope she likes them. She couldn't be sweeter. Things are moving pretty swiftly for them, she is moving in with him in January and I have no reservations. They are so loving and supportive of one another. It melts my heart to know my baby boy has that kind of love in his life and that they have each other. My instinct is to rush in and help him with fixing up his apartment or some new furniture but she is fiercely independent and they want to do it on their own. Love this - love her!

QOTD -SAME to the 'vaugebook' - insert huge eye roll here, I can't even talk about it... The other is hate comments, so nasty. How miserable are you that feel the need to do that? How hard is it to keep scrolling?

Accountability - awesome 192.9!!!!!!

B - coffee x 4

l -Chipotle - im obsessed.

d- Speaking of social media hate victims - I'm trying Tiffany the mustard lady's plate tonight. Chicken apple sausage w/cottage cheese and mustard, carrot, cucumber and tomatoes. I will use a knife and fork though....

s - beef jerky

784/76

e- very lazy yoga - done

v/w still need constant the reminders, but it's working

Have a great day!!
