Mornin y'all.

thursdays appointment was a **** show. They are unwilling to do anything other than push pills. I don't necessarily want surgery but it'd be nice if they gave a **** in general. Their slogan is "the pain stops here" and it's a load of crap. It had me down, still pissed but I need to focus on my shoulder healing then on to my hip.

today is an unknown. We may head to Sam's because we forgot trash bags. I loaded up on meat and have cut back my carbs by a lot. Blood sugars are improving already. My shoulder is making it very hard for me. I'm doing small amount of chainmaille when I can. One of my friends ordered the three earring sets pictured below. They are so pretty and the cubic zirconias are so pretty with the light.

QOTD: I'm lucky that I look good in most colors. I like a cantaloupe color and blues always are good on me and make my eyes pop(they are hazel).

B: eggs, cheese and a low carb corn tortilla and of course coffee

L: ???? Prob a hamburger patty

D: no clue as of yet.

Woohooo! Congratulations!

QOTD- Get my ass out of the house and walk at least 3 days next week. I can't guarantee today as it will be 101 by the time I'm done working and that is just too hot to walk in, even in the shade.

My roommate helped me to finally get my retractable clothesline mounted. Now I can dry more than 1 load at a time. But of course I don't have anything that needs washing right now. I think I'll wash my towels, just so I can use it.

My plan for this weekend is to get the light mounted in my dining room. A coworker reminded me that I shouldn't be on a ladder with no one here. She fell when she was trimming a tree and her husband didn't come out to see what happened, fortunately a neighbor heard her screaming and came to help. So this weekend it is, or today.

I've gotta get to work.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning all and Happy Fri-yay,

We made it to the weekend! Finger pistols to the sky. Pew! Pew! Pew! Does that qualify as attempted imaginary assault with a figurative weapon?

I'm buried under to do's but I'm focusing on completing just a couple tasks today. A new aide is starting to help.

This weekend, I don't have anything important planned so everything is fluid.

QOTD- What is one healthy habit you can add to your routine next week to improve the successful weight management that you already practice.
An extra couple flights of stairs in the AM and PM. Taking my dog to the forest preserve instead of the dog park. Both things are easy and won't take up any noticable additional time.

Accountability- cinnamon roll. I cut it in half and really enjoyed it. Then I ate the other half and really enjoyed it more. That is before the amount of calories crossed my mind.

B: Coffee and Oikos triple zero cherry, peach.

L: Chicken shish kabob, grilled veggies.
D: 4 Buffalo Wings, blue cheese, jicama sticks tossed in buffalo sauce, salad

Pics- a really big tree and me; Burger for breakfast & hand cut fries; Pajun Pancake w Brussels, some sort of teriyaki oyster soy sauce, potatoes

Sorry to be here so late, I just lost track of time today. Hope your pain clinic visit was productive! And oh my gosh that dress...LOL!!! You are so talented, those earrings are gorgeous.

QOTD: Home grown zucchini and watermelon from Hermiston, Oregon. I swear before summer is over I'm going to go off my diet just one day and eat nothing bu****ermelon.

B: My big, frosty protein shake lasted me till 3 pm

D: 3 Oz super-minced chicken breast, 2 T G Hughes SF bbq sauce over 1/2 c FF cottage cheese.

Excited to get my eyes checked tomorrow and order new glasses. My vision has gotten much worse this year, it will be great to be able to see clearly again.

Hope you and everybody else had a great day. I canned fig jam for Hubby.
