Those little chunks add up over time!

I rarely need antibiotics. When I first started having sinus issues I let it go way too long because I didn't recognize what it was so was on antibiotics for over a month. Since then using an over the counter steroid spray works better as long as I start it early enough. In early days it was by prescription but now they are easier to get.

204.7 - New low! Yippee!

Busy, busy weekend grooming, cleaning, etc... I was indeed resentful this morning when I had to get up. But I so enjoyed my first class right out of the gate this morning that it perked me right up and I am still smiling as I type. Nothing like happy, enthusiastic kid energy to brighten one's spirits. I will greatly miss this aspect of my career.

I have much to do before I leave Wednesday evening for our regional specialty show. I was considering cancelling my training session tonight with the trainer, but she beat me to it. Now I can workout on my own schedule without feeling "guilty" for cancelling.

Liz, hope the sinus infection clears up on it's own and you don't have to go the antibiotic route. I find with home treatment, mine usually go away without antibiotics. Once every few years, I have to get a script, but most of the time home treatment works.

We are supposed to have clouds today and tomorrow with a few sprinkles and then some really nice spring weather kicks in on Wednesday. Some areas may even hit the 80 degree mark!

Though I always seem to want to get more done, I am pleased with what I/we accomplished over my spring break. Yesterday I managed after grooming 2 dogs and taking a little break to get the storage shed cleaned out and reorganized. I created dump pile #2 for the haulers to pick up tomorrow. Little chunks seem to be the way to go for me. Need to keep that in mind going forward.

I have to make sure to pay property tax tonight so it's not late and get to work on taxes so I can submit them when I get back from the show.

Not much else.... Hasta la bye bye!

126.1. Well within my range.

Chilly cloudy day today with a bit of snow this morning. Treadmill exercise done. I tried early morning but had such stomach cramps that I had to quit. It worked for me late morning.

Waiting for an Etsy webinar to start in 6 minutes! Hopefully I can get my site reviewed.

Ground beef stroganoff for dinner tonight!

We really liked the WW chicken Marsala! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

120.2

Well, I'm pretty sure the reason for the slow onset of my "cold" symptoms are that it is a sinus infection, not a cold. I used to get them all the time in the winter up north because of the dry heat indoors. I also had one in Arizona when we were there for a month in 2022 because of the dry air. It must have started when I was north last week. I came to that epiphany last night when reviewing my symptoms. Time to start the steroid spray.

Right now I am planning on going to water aerobics, but I may change my mind if my sinuses start draining. They usually give me a lot of post-nasal drip in the mornings which makes me cough. If that starts up, I probably will skip for today. Not much else planned other than making a new WW dish for dinner with chicken, cottage cheese, spinach, and artichoke hearts. Maybe Beach Club during the day as it is supposed to be the last super hot, sunny day before a front comes through.

Have a monstrous Monday!

My skin is a lot more saggy than when I was last at this weight 5 years ago. I think it is my older age.

The second eye already! I'm sure you will feel more balanced after that. Lovely to hear that your little niece is thriving
