Mornin' All!

I woke up at 3:00 AM and couldn't get back to sleep - but I finally fell asleep again around 8:00 AM for a couple of hours. Ugh. I wish I could get back to a regular schedule - this has been going on for too long!

My sister and BIL arrive today and will be here for about 10 days. Luckily they're staying at a hotel. Having house guests for more than three or four days gets to be wearing, so I'm glad they're staying at the hotel. One of my classes was canceled today, and I think I might skip the other one. I have way too much to do. I'm behind on classes again, have to get a book read for a book discussion group on Monday, and I'm a little over halfway through the one I have to write the review on by Nov 1. Plus the FSA stuff is due tomorrow (along with DH's other insurance stuff for 2025), so I have to decide once and for all how much extra $$ we should put in there, given the hearing aid thing is unknown. We could probably spend an extra $300 or so, stocking up on OTC meds (or maybe getting another pair of glasses) - but the extra $1000 or so we'd need to cover a big chunk of a hearing aid would be hard to use up if it turns out I don't need one (and we can't carry anything over into 2026 since DH wants to retire next summer). Ugh.

QOTD: now that I'm not working, weekdays and weekends are about the same. I originally was going to say that we have more social events, like parties, on the weekends - but then again, I sometimes meet friends or have meetings over lunch on weekdays, so it's kind of a draw. Social things like lunches out and parties are always a challenge for me.

coffee with half & half

plain skyr with SF apple butter, rye crumpet with butter and apple butter (I like the apple butter, evidently!)

maybe the rest of the channa dal for lunch (there's at most a cup of it left)

protein shake or protein muffin

celeriac soup and some kind of protein

have a great day, everyone!

I'm not a big foodie, so if I have a Costco size of chicken meatballs and I open it, I keep eating it every day till I fini****
I put more thought and prep time into my icecreams than my meals!

It definitely keeps me on track, but more than anything it saves me time. I work through lunch so I can leave earlier.

Nailing hydration! I stick to the same foods for the most part, but I need variety so I rotate often.

I miss the relief from chiropractors even though I was always afraid of them breaking my neck! I never thought it would be my ribs. I stick to massage and stretching now. Whatever you do, I hope you find relief!!

That's great, you can get the nutrition benefits while telling yourself that you are saving money or vice versa.

Diet culture while growing up was brutal!! The stigma and fat shaming haunt me to this day. It's not much better now but there is more awareness.
