Good morning! Ok, I am feeling much better. Convo with mom went well. I still need to figure out how to pull something off that is both nice and inexpensive, but she was in the mood to brainstorm with me, and it went as well as it could have :) Business stuff is still a mess but I don't have time to even think about it today--I'm sinking my anxiety into writing papers instead.

I actually have pics today! I was bored the other night and decided to fork over the $2.99 for the AI photo app! I think they are fun :)




QOTD: How do you take your coffee or tea? I like my coffee with 2% milk and two Splenda and I don't have tea too often, but I don't like anything in it when I have it.

B: egg bites

L: chicken & salasa

D: scallops

I love a Tom Hardy meme; he's such a great actor. Also very much into picking my battles these days, lol.

QOTD - with half and half; I used to used 3 pumps of SF syrup but have really gotten away from that since last summer. Tea is plain, nothing added.

Cute pictures; you definitely should have an occasion to wear a tiara, you rock the regal look, I guess that's why you're our Queen JB! I like the pirate too. There was a lot of controversy about that app initially but I haven't heard anything lately; I think mostly about artist IP being utilized and some privacy concerns.

Work today is mostly one on ones and finishing up goals for my team that are due by end of month; I think I'm going to watch one of the best picture nominees Triangle of Sadness tonight, the trailer makes it look like a comedy and so many of the nominees are too heavy for an evening after a long work week! Otherwise, just some exercise (elliptical and rowing...I finished my rowing series for the month but would like to hit 50 miles, and I still have a few sections on my elliptical series but I'm on track to be done for Jan 31 there too). Tomorrow, I'm going to a speakeasy with friends, then dinner and a play called in the Trenches, Sunday is just work around the house and start getting everything ready to pack for Finland.

Menu today is

coffee plus half and half X 2

ratio yogurt

RGF cheese stuffed chicken poppers

TBD on dinner

my picture today is of my recent tattoo; it's still healing a bit but I am very happy with it!

have a fantastic friday and weekend everyone!

Love that tattoo! How funny is it that I can't wait to hear about Finland and you're not even there yet? Congrats on finishing your challenge - I know you'll make your mileage.

Good mornin everyone. JB, I love those, which app did you use? The one I used didn't look just a whole lot like me...but then again maybe it would if I were skinny.

This has been a night from h e double toothpicks. There was hope that the morphine wouldn't make me itch as badly delivered through the pump. Well...it does. Since about 1:08 I've been up and have had the itchiness from hell. Insane itching. I took three Benadryl and not only did it not make me stop itching it didn't even help me sleep. I've got some research to do today and I might call the pump nurse to see what they might recommend for itchiness. When I tell you this is driving me (more) insane that's an understatement. I'm really upset about this. I haven't been this itchy in a very long time. Just miserableness.

I might head to Walmart today to look at allergy meds. I know Claritin and Zyrtec don't help much if at all. My mom needs to pick up a few books she ordered at Barnes and Nobles. Other than those few things and a trip to pick up a prescription nothing much else is planned. I may look at Aveeno stuff to soothe my torn up skin.

QOTD: coffee a sweetener(blue packet) 1-2 tbs of creamer. Tea usually a squirt of liquid stevia.

the soup I made Wednesday isn't agreeing with me so I have to throw it out. It's a shame as it is really good. Bummer. I think it's the spinach in it.

B: JUST egg bowl and coffee

L: Hamburger stew

D: ????

S: ????

my pics are random. One of my incision that had to be restapled...the ones at the bottoms is the newer staples. One is of a pendant I made yesterday and the other two are some of my AI pics. JB, the queen one suits you!

Oh Mel, I'm sorry it's getting worse instead of better. Maybe it's something that can be acclimated to over time? Reaching, though. Those staples look...incredibly painful.

The rest of your pics are beautiful!
