Monday July 17

Weight 116, calories 953. I gave DH the rest of the mini carrot cakes so they are gone thank goodness. I slept super heavy last night - I don't know why, but I feel pretty good this morning (well rested).

Back to work today. It gets harder every week on Monday since I officially said I was retiring. I have more or less decided that I won't go in the office more than once a week now unless I have to.

Hopefully I will get an offer from the insurance company, so I can start moving on a car. I can't do the purchase until I have the check, so I need this to be resolved.

I keep thinking about Kairk's puppy land when I look at my two little old ladies. Duchess (beagle - almost 14) doesn't seem to do well with the heat now and I have no idea how we can take her to Florida in January. She hates riding in the car (gets incredibly anxious) and we can't drug her with her heart condition. So I may have to leave her home with DS. Chiquita (chihuahua- almost 16) is a great traveler so we can bring her, but that means pee pads all over the floor in Florida. I wonder how much easier it would be without dogs, but I can't imagine not having one around (I grew up with dogs and cats).

Have and enjoyable and productive Monday!

I learned a powerful aura cleansing process yesterday, and received my final attunement, and I am now a certified Teaching Reiki Master. I can now teach and certify others in all four levels of Reiki !??

I have crossed the threshold for sure, with more of my clothing and belongings moved than in my old home. I am doing fairly well purging belongings that I don't use. I really downsized my closet, due to the fact that I am retired and down need all that "career armor".

Can't wait for our puppies to arrive ! I'm feeling Wednesday !

Congratulations! Many thresholds crossed!

Congratulations! That is so exciting! Please think good thoughts for us! The perinatal monitor will not transfer data over the digital phone lines and I'm worried because without the info from that monitor I can't administer meds to help Ella's labor! I can give her calcium, but that's it.

Waiting for ATT to call back. Hopefully, I can get a land line put in on an emergency basis. (medical issues get priority, I'm told....)

I'm a nervous papa right now!!!!!

Congratulations Master!

Glad to read you are doing alright! Glad DH is stepping up and helping where you need him to help!

Hello all,

The house directly across the creek/greenbelt was on fire this morning at about 4AM. Giant flames but firemen looked to be able to get it under control pretty quickly but who knows who much damage might really be there. Everyone got out of the house without personal injury.

Really quick, cuz I hear a patient arriving for me.....I thought my appetite was being driven by my hikes. But, now I wonder if GERD is driving instead. Had a horrible night of sleep on Sat, clearly related to frank GERD (ick) so now am on daily PPI. Nighttime eating will also have to be curtailed because I am sure that was a contributor.

Have a great day, all!

GERD = BAD! Hate it! Problem with PPIs though, is after long term use you sort of become physically dependent on them. My doc says no worries as long as the calcium intake is high. I trust him. But the long term use does bother me sometimes.
