Good mornin y'all.
It seems Ms.Tange has roundworm so we get to treat all the cats. Our vet recommended a product from tractor supply. We can't afford a vet trip for all 3 cats so we're off to get that soon. It's upsetting but we caught it early I think.
Last week was just a clusterf&u%. Had some issues with my insulin prescription. A great pharmacist finally came up with what we could do to fix it all. After 6 trips and 10+ phone calls. LOL. Other pharmacy issues too. The other stuff is not worth mentioning. I did get my lyrica upped so hopefully that'll help with the intense nerve pain I've been having. My shoulder is not improving with PT at all. But I am doing it and the homework. I have to get an X-ray tomorrow. You'd think they would've ordered that already. My usual NP quit so that may be part of it all.
QOTD: I loved Zumba when I could do it. I also love my recumbent stationary bike. I still ride it a few times a week.
B: hard boiled eggs, turkey sausage, cheese and coffee. Also 5 onion cracker things
L: ????
D: probably a salad with chicken.
S: cheese stick and baked Cheetos
here are three of the Christmas gifts I have made so far. They all saw one I made and went nuts over it. Really loving them too. I'll be making a copper or bronze one after the holidays.
Good morning, everybody!
One time I led off during fall and my QOTD was about how everyone?s fall raking was going. Amy posted a picture of one dead palm frond.
We managed to get 26 bags of leaves raked and bagged. Most of our trees are bare, with the exception of a few small ornamental ones, so we are probably done raking for the year. We will mow one more time before Thanksgiving, partly so that the lawnmower gasoline is dry for the winter.
This is a short week because we are going to visit Chrissy on Thursday!
QOTD: CrossFit. But I really enjoyed the Triathlon and want to do more of that.
Breakfast: Corned Beef Hash
Lunch: catered
Dinner: Tacos
Have a great day, all!

I had a nice long weekend, and it was going great until Saturday night when I tripped over one of Meisha's balls she had outside and landed on my left knee hard. I pulled something, but alas life goes on. She did lick my knee as if to say sorry. It's a good thing she's so dam cute. LOL.
My mom and I went to the Equine Affaire in Springfield, MA on Friday. We haven't been since before Covid. It was a day full of horses. We had a lot of fun but was a bit disappointed that some of the vendors we used to see there were a no show. My mom fell in love with two horses, and I had to remind her that at 80 years old she didn't need any more animals.
QOTD: What has been your go to exercise since WLS? Mine has always been walking either outside or on the treadmill. If I had the option to do some water exercises, I would totally jump on it, but besides a YMCA there are no****er options around me so I will continue to walk.
B: 2 hardboiled eggs with mustard and a coffee
L: Sliced turkey breast with bok choy and mushrooms on the side
D: Chicken burger with salad
S: Venison jerky (something I got at the EA)
Have a great day everyone.

So sorry you are having issues with work and with your roommate. Sometimes a walk in nature was the only thing that helped keep me sane. I do not deal well with micromanagers. It really affects my productivity and makes work a miserable experience. Sometimes you can work things out with a manager like that. I believe it happens because they are just not busy enough and fear losing their job.
I remember sitting down with one and telling him that nobody is going to throw him under the bus, that people under him are experienced and productive. Everyone works in their own way and at their own pace. As long as people are getting their work done, I always tried to manage with as little interference as possible. For me it comes down to trust and respect.

Happy Birthday to Kobe. I know it will be great. So glad you are sticking with the ice cream. It is the best way to enjoy protein and I pretty much lived on protein ice cream for four or five years after my surgery. Have a great weekend.

So glad it is Friday! Only 3 more hours to work.
I've been having issues with my roommate and have felt disrespected and on edge. I'm trying not to let the results of the election get to me, that is why I went for a walk on Wednesday. Today is clear and cold so if I get myself out there I can walk today. When I'm in the woods I feel like I can breathe, I try to soak in all the beauty and just be in the moment.
I wish I could say work is OK but it isn't. I'm behind and they are trying to micro-manage us. I can only do one thing at a time. If I try to do more the results are not good.
I'm also trying to figure out how to watch the Ducks tomorrow. It's only on the Big Ten Network so I may breakdown and do a free trial of FUBO so I can see it. I'm about ready to give up on the Seahawks, they have truly been so awful...
Have a great day everyone!
