What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?
on 9/6/24 2:57 am
Good Morning and Happy Friday! I have all kinds of exciting news. First, dad is home! I have no idea how he managed to go straight from ICU to home, but he did. The nurses were probably like - GET HIM OUT, lol. My other exiting news is that after 8 years with Ferritin below 10, my last labs came back and it's 47! Big shout out to Grim for keeping me alive. Next, I finally saw the scale drop to a number I was excited to see. It was only below by an ounce, but I am not mad. Anddd I slept like a champion from 9pm - 4:30pm so all it right with the world heading into the weekend :)
QOTD: Any Halloween costume plans this year? I have had big ideas for costumes for years but I never get around to doing anything. This might be my year, but I need some inspiration.
Accountability: I had a good day. Lots of water and stayed on plan.
Tonight we are going to dinner to celebrate Grim's daughter's birthday and the restaurant he chose is called the Cask & Pig. Everything looks suuuuuper yummy, but I just took my Wegovy this morning, so I am not worried about overeating. It will be impossible.
I am not sure what I will be up for earlier in the day but I plan to keep it light with lots of water and probably some greek yogurt before dinner.
Have a great weekend!

Good mornin everyone! We made it to Friday!
busy day ahead for me. Appointment with the pain management clinic and then we're meeting up with my aunt to go to the thrift stores and then out to eat. I'm really exhausted and sore so I don't really want to do any of these things. I'm hoping to get home in time for a nap or restful moment.
QOTD: I'm going as a childless cat lady. Ha ha.
B: eggs and coffee
L: probably a salad or half a sandwich
D: ????
old sunset pic and a meme. Also an obligatory pic of Tange.

Happy Friday everyone! yum, garlic bread. Good news on your dad and on your ferritin levels. Very impressed to see you pu****er on your plan for the day, lol.
QOTD - I have a dragon costume, I've been a penguin for a few years now so I"m mixing it up.
Work today, plus my trainer had moved me from Wednesday to Friday at the last minute so I have her, but I have a pretty low key friday evening and saturday ahead; back on the work travel wagon starting Sunday. It's always a sprint to the end of the year once September starts and this year is no exception!
The massage therapist I had been going to for a few years had started to make some repulsive comments so I switched from her to one of those big chain massage places in July. It's been going well except yesterday I had made the appointment at one and then went to a different one and I was running exactly on time so didn't have a chance to get to the other place on time. Whoops! I will check my appointment locations better next time, lol.
Accountability -- 6 active minutes and 3,367 steps. Not exactly an active day.
menu today is
coffee plus half and half X3
greek yogurt with granola
salami and cheese on naan
I'm considering making a garlic cheese naan bread based on today's meme but will probably go with peri peri chicken strips.
Ok, I'm going to blow up the thread with all the cat pictures. I know we have a lot of cat people!
Before we went on safari, we visited a couple of wildlife rehabilitation/conservation places. I pet a cheetah!
At another, this caracul cat stalked me and charged. We think it thought my purple hair was a bird, this was when he got ready to pounce.
Leopards
Lions and lionesses (the request for belly rubs is a trap!)
