Such a fine line between support and enabling. I have been there. So hard to know how to help sometimes.

I'm starting to feel like a real bore. The decongestant is drying me out, so I won't be spewing germs on the plane tomorrow. I still have a fever and body aches, but I'll hit it with Advil tomorrow if needed.
I had a pedicure appointment scheduled this afternoon, but I cancelled it. No need to bring my nice ladies any germs. I tried doing it myself. It looks exactly like I did it at home :) At least with weight loss I can reach my toes. And even if its not professional looking, it'll do.
So still planning on getting on that plane, masked and drugged up.
I do think I finally have enough energy to put a few things in the suitcase. Pedicure and packing, I must be feeling better if I can do that. So glad I called in sick for tomorrow.
131.2! So close! I?m officially down 60 lbs. it took me 8 months which is interesting as that was what it took me to get to goal after VSG, but I lost 110 lbs. that time and then another 9 without trying. I think the low 120?s are too low for my build. I?ll have to decide what dose to go to during maintenance. Right now I?m doing 2.5 mg twice a week. I might reduce that to 1.5 mg twice weekly to start with and see what happens!
I?m still adding a few things to my tropical retreat wall. Ordered a little surf board and some starfish and sand dollars. Found a property in FL that checks all our boxes (and then some). Hoping that when we are ready to pull that trigger something perfect will come along.
DC1 left work early due to poor mental health/depression. They told work they had a family emergency. Been hanging at our house since this morning. I want to be there for them (they literally don?t have anyone else), but feel like I also need to set some boundaries. Since DH and I had already planned to celebrate Valentines tonight with a sushi dinner, I told DC that they were welcome to stay here until we left for dinner but that we had a date night planned. So hard to know what is helping and what is enabling! I?m sure DH would have felt obligated to invite DC along, but that?s where the boundaries come in!
Bible study with the ladies this morning was good as always. We really do have a great group of women who love God and each other well!
Weather continues to be quite frosty with temps below zero into the single digits for lows for the next week with the exception of Saturday when we will have a heat wave with temps ranging from 22-30. I really dislike cold temps!
Sorry your golf game isn?t cooperating with you Liz! Maybe the new clubs will be just the ticket!

Good on you DD for doing the telehealth and getting better drugs. Please stay home. You don't need us to tell you that you don't want to risk this turning into something worse. Yay for your co-workers on sending you away. ds

I'm sorry you're not feeling better!! I hope that changes quickly.
120.4 - injection day
Today is also Galentine's Day per the radio - maybe it should be Palentine's day instead?
Yesterday was run-around busy mostly because bocce was in the middle of the day and we had errands to do. Plus I made the chili (which came out pretty good btw). I hit some golfballs around 5 while the chili was cooking and did not do very well. My practice drives were good but practicing with the clubs I use on the fairway was not. Much worse than the last couple of weeks sigh.
I was practicing because I play golf in the 9 hole association today. Feeling nervous about it after that practice. We are supposed to have drinks late afternoon with the neighbors below us and the wife's brother but she said yesterday she wasn't sure he was coming. Guess we will find out today.
Thinking all good thoughts and crossing all toes and fingers that DD wakes up this morning feeling like she is returning to her healthy self!
Have a Therapeutic Thursday!

I just did a telehealth, I told them I spiked a fever today (true, low grade tonight) but they felt it is still viral. Ordered prescription strength cough syrup and decongestants that can be picked up tomorrow. U that doesn't help, I'll have to go to Urgent Care in person. God help me. But maybe ill wake up tomorrow feeling like I've turned the corner.
I saw a picture of Monty with (I assume) Katie, and I thought he was such a handsome fellow. I didn't realize the big Schnauzers were that big! Our granddog is a mini-Schnauzer, although he's not THAT mini--25 pounds. He's a sweetie pie, even though he acts grumpy sometimes.
