Menus and Miles Sunday Jan. 5th

I sent you another personal message. Apparently OH's notification on messages isn't working well--I just saw your reply and you replied early this morning.

I ordered my Fuzzy Navel and left it in MI :(  I have a little here.  I find it's SO hard to maintain routines going from place to place.  I do try to keep stuff convenient in the same places, but it doesn't always work.  At least I have my Vits down...  It's amazing what's in our foods... and what it does to us. 

This last cold spell in VA has got me thinking.  I have geothermal heat here and it just couldn't keep up with the real cold temps. I woke up to the place at 59 degrees.. umm.. not good.  I bought a portable heater for the bedroom and found a fantastic deal at Home Depot on one of those electric fireplace/home entertainment systems.  Clo

I don't think I would like going back and forth.  The drive alone would wear me out.  DH and I went looking for a fireplace today.  Big Lots has some really nice ones.  Does it warm up the room?

Where is your menu?

I'm glad to hear you're looking for your silver lining in the problems you're having, I hope you find it soon

I'm loving my heated car seats right now and I was grateful for my heated windshield this morning as it was all iced up first thing.  Other than first thing, it's not too cold here.

I'm looking for that silver lining....I hope I can keep it up!! 

Heated seats would be nice.  I love my van and I've been fighting my DH on getting something new but lately I've had to go out and start it earlier at work because it doesn't like sitting outside....kind of spoiled I guess..lol  Maybe my next one will have heated seats.  I've never heard of a heated windshield....I think I'd pay extra for that!!

Good Totals!

All Fords have heated screens.

Really?   I have been considering buying a Ford.  I need to check that out!!!

Actually I think what is more correct is that all Fords have the option to have heated windshields when you're buying them new, not so sure about an after market fit if it's first purchased without it heated.

Hi Roz,

Sorry about your protein.  I don't know what I would do if I couldn't have mine.... Maybe you can atleast have the Lemon Tea.

Did you like the new doctor?  I need to go back and read the last few days and see if you have already posted this.  Hope your appointment went good.

DD may get to go home tomorrow if she has a good day today and night tonight.  We are with her now while SIL goes home and spends some time with their DD.  She will spend the night with us tonight and go to my sister in laws tomorrow while I come back down here.

Maybe I can list some of what I have eaten today.

S:  Decaf Coffee

Linda

I hope she feels up to going home.  I hope she doesn't rush though.  How is DGD doing with her Mom away?  Did she get in to see her.  Our hospital cafeteria is not the greatest.  A lot of carbs!  I always try to stick with soup. There salad bar is blah.

You don't need to go back and read...heres the basics of it. The lady I saw is an NP.  She said I was patient #851 that she has treated with IC plus she has it herself.  She doesn't know much about WLS and the fear of gaining and she totally panicked me when she said I had to give up my Protein drinks. I can't have anything with Natural Flavors listed in the ingredients because even though it sounds good it is MSG and that's really bad for my bladder I guess.  The Mint Cookie does make me cramp but the Lemon Tea not so much. I had to buy some pills called Prelief. They are like tums for the bladder.  I figured that if they work on oranges and grape juice they should surly help with my Lemon Tea so I've been taking 2 with every shake.

I was in her office for 3 hours!  When I left I was exhausted and  totally overwhelmed. She gave me 12 pages of foods and what brand I can buy that doesn't have MSG in it.  The more I look it the less overwhelmed I feel.  If I make a grocery list I can find what brands I need to buy instead of going to the store and reading the labels myself. but hopefully DH will like that brand. I don't buy off brands very often.

She also inserted some meds into my bladder but left the numbing one out that the last Dr. used.  I got a little shaky but I didn't feel like passing out and my face, tongue, and speech didn't get numb or slurred.

It sounds like you make good choices!
