So sorry to hear your wrist is bad. Do you happen to have an office chair that has the central post going between a wheel assembly at the floor and the bottom of the seat? My son got one for me a few Christmases ago and it is fine when I pivot to my sewing table but my 'desk' is a vintage NCR workbench that is probably the same height as a drafting table, about 5" difference. Maybe raising your chair would give you better ergonomics so that you don't have to have help raising the desk.

On Amazon I found taller wheels and a neat set of extender/support clamps for the center support and now it's raised enough but not too much so I can use it at both desks. The listing lingo on one that is just like mine says 'Office Chair Cylinder Replacement-Sytopia Fix Sinking Office Chairs, 4 pieces clamps for Height Extenders up to 5 inches...' and I got these replacement wheels: 'Office Rubber Chair Casters Replacement, 3 Inch Heavy-Duty Computer Gaming Desk Caster Wheels Smooth & Safe Rolling for All Floors Including Hardwood and Carpet. Set of 5' And the nice thing is that I was able to make those changes all by myself.

Are you anywhere near being the age your state defines as Senior? In Spokane we are that age, meet the income limit and have gotten on the special Senior property tax rate program. HUGE help.

Hugs.

Afternoon y'all.

quick post from me. My mom had an appointment this morning and we're fixing to head to a certain grocery store for tangerines that are on sale for my mom.

Nothing much to do today. Some stuff around the house. That's about it. Not feeling the greatest but it is what it is.

QOTD: other than baking I rarely follow official recipes. I make up a lot. Something it works sometimes it doesn't. I make egg bowls with hard boiled eggs, turkey sausage and cheese. Sometimes some bruschetta that I get from Walmart. Sometimes pickle relish.

B: burrito and coffee

L: ??? Maybe some of the roast with street taco tortillas

D: ??????

have a good one y'all!

Your food and flowers all look so beautiful. I have not invented anything but am experimenting with grits. I have not gotten the taste I want and have gotten in restaurants. I have used water, milk, cream, butter and cheese and none of my attempts tastes good to me. But it is fun trying.

Your breakfast bowl looks yummy and your hydrangeas are beautiful. Sorry you have high temps again. Ours have been a roller coaster so far, have yours? This summer it seems like Mother Nature said, 'Hold my beer!' That or she's off her meds.

QOTD: Probably some Nonna in Italy made this first and it has a real name but I thought I invented it: White Spaghetti or Day-Before-Payday Pasta. Hubs was a one-striper airman, we lived on the economy in Germany and I wasn't working; one day before payday there was only some butter, a partial sour cream and Kraft parm in the fridge. I boiled and drained what was left of pantry spaghetti noodles, returned to the pan, added s&p, butter and the sour cream. When it was all melty some parm went in then shook more on it at the table. Not healthy but it fed us and we've made it often ever since just 'cause we like it. It's nice not being that poor anymore, haha.

The grandkids came over yesterday and it was a chaotic whirlwind, so much fun. My breakfast shake lasted till around 2 and I finally ate again at 7 when they'd gone and we'd cleaned up. Weird meal: 1/2 c. ff cottage cheese, 3 oz poached chicken breast and an unremarkable veg. Still trying to hit 30# gone (only three pounds away!) so I'm being strict.

B: Choc. Protein/Collagen/Almond milk shake with a generic Miralax my dr. wants me to switch to. So far, no tummy pain.

D: It was supposed to be a frittata, ended up a scrambled mess: 1/4 cup egg substitute, 1 medium zucchini diced, 2 pieces turkey bacon, diced. Some Alpine Touch helped. Way behind on protein, calories and fat today so later for a snack a Fairlife shake for the macros.

Therapy again tomorrow. Tri(To-Get)Care wasn't paying the bill and the therapists billing dept. were trying to come after me for $500. The bill trouble was worth it -finally resolved- and I've made really good progress that I never believed would happen. I don't have to go down stairs backwards holding the rail for dear life or pull myself up by the rail. PT exercises getting better but I still don't do the DUI Walk well. That should get better.

Have a nice evening and I'll see you tomorrow.

It's kinda typical New England weather. One minute you need a sweater the next you're running around half naked because it's too hot to wear clothes. LOL.

Great job on the weight loss.
