Good mornin y'all.

Two appointments today, thankfully they are close to each other. Pain clinic and my case manager. I need to talk to the later about the peer support person ghosting me. Not looking forward to that. The pain clinic is always the same ol same ol thing. We also will be going to Walmart for a few things for tomorrow. So pretty long day

i'm feeling pretty rough after yesterdays PT. The physical therapist sent me home with a TENS unit. He's really great.

QOTD. Sky watching. Storms, clouds, sun sets/rises. Stars. You name it I enjoy just taking it in.

B: jimmy dean delights cauliflower sandwich and coffee

L: prob a chicken crap from BK

D: I have no idea at this point. Maybe a fish fillet or something along those lines.

Hi, nice to see you all again. Father's day was nice and quiet. Hubs was out helping a friend so I did as much in the garden as I could. Monday he and our son went out for guy stuff and it was another nice quiet day. Worked hard in the garden, overdid it a bit. Had to head to Costco today for protein powder, it was great going so early with little crowds and for the first hour I wasn't even limping. That is amazing progress from the PT and weight loss. Finished the month with 17# loss. Today is the telephone appt. with my dr and hope it goes well.

QOTD: I help Hubby whenever he'll allow or requests it but it is usually a very stressful situation. Daughter is a fire wife so she frequently needs help with babysitting, that's a win/win for both of us. Grandbaby time does me so much good. Chatting with Son last evening he let slip he isn't cooking much because bills are pretty high so I dragged him to MollyMart (aka my canning room) and made him take some jars of meats and veggies. He hates to ask for help.

I've hit the interesting point with these meds where I'm actually tired of having to eat. If it wouldn't mess up my 'regularity' I'd be perfectly happy with a couple of protein shakes a day but that isn't healthy long-term.

B: canned shake 'Nurri' brand in chocolate. Same stats as Fairlife but tastes like you are dieting. Costco didn't have any Fairlife this time, bummer.

L: nothing

D: mixed spring greens, 8 cherry tomatoes, 3 oz rotisserie chicken, 2 T lite Ranch dressing, 3 slices of a small avocado

LS: 2 T chia seeds in water

Enjoy the rest of your day! After talking to the dr. I'm heading back to the garden.

QOTD- I wish my roommate would help more. He says he will do something and never gets around to it.

I'm trying to do my PT for my wrist but I gotta say it hurts and sometimes I just don't want to do it. But I also don't want to lose functionality in my hand and wrist.

I started back to work yesterday and of course they have no work. I finally got some money from Paid Leave Oregon. I don't have an accounting of it but I believe that they paid me for six weeks, so I'm no longer broke. That is good, but if I don't have any work I don't have anything to charge my time to, so I don't get paid. I just asked my boss for work, so maybe I'll get some. It seems to be feast or famine. I hate being overwhelmed but I also hate not having any work. I will survive.

My roommate is unemployed so no help, and he still hasn't done the drip mist system. He did buy the tomato cages but I will need his help to put them on the plants.

Another beautiful day, high of 78 and clear and sunny. But there is supposed to be rain tomorrow. I hope it happens so I won't have to water the plants.

Have a great day everyone!

QOTD: My sister said her husband came home and complained about his neck really hurting bad. I asked her what she did. She said she was watching her shows and did not want to be bothered by his neck so she ignored him and went back to her TV. If it was me, I would have gotten the heating pad, some Biofreeze, and given him a massage. Difference in people. I am always looking for a way to help and help my family and friends whenever I can,.

Good Tuesday Morning Everyone! I'm out in the scale house on this rainy day, but it's not that bad. Funny some of the drivers are happy to see me. I got in for 6:30 to make sure I got my office stuff done before I came out here for 7 and I told them I would work out here until 4. I didn't realize until yesterday that we were taking one of the boilers down for a quick repair to the ID fan. Hopefully all goes well as our purchasing person is working from home and if they need anything well I'm the back up to purchase stuff and my hands are kind a tied with me being in the scale. HA HA.

I helped Irvin put the top part of the exhaust on his dually since he was having a hard doing it himself and after two hours got frustrated. So when I got home, I told him I would help him. It took us 15 minutes and he was so happy. Definitely a two-person job.

QOTD: Do you help your spouse or family members with stuff they are struggling with? We usually help each other out with things and it always makes it easier.

B: coffee and egg wrap

L: salad with tuna

D: chicken burgers

30 minutes on the treadmill

Have a wonderful day!!!
