Had another one of "those " tuff financial convos w Dad .

Were ( theoretically ) in agreement that when w meet in Florida I and tax professionals will help guide him into paying much less 2 th tax man ... and my apartment rent and a small food/gas / insurance allowance and a $500 per month credit card allowance will b paid 2 my Mum ... so she can buy her own coffee n lil jewelry and new clothes she likes in the mall .

Important thing is for everyone 2 feel safe secure and taken care of . He even agreed ( theoretically ) 2 meet w an atty to finalize thangs .

All of a sudden Im hungry ! Have salads ff milk n so forth ... even fresh salsa n challah bread ...

Its SO interesting how we all choose 2 eat so differently post surgery ...

Good mornin y'all.

I've got an appointment this morning but other than that nothing much is happening. Much to my dismay my mom is decorating for Christmas already. I'm a grinch...oh well. It makes her happy so there is that. I am sore as heck from dragging stuff out and up the stairs. I know I shouldn't be doing it but I felt guilty and then my stubbornness kicked in.

Mounjaro has kicked in with helping keep my blood sugar down. It's a lot better.

I've got to figure out something to get my boss for Christmas. I made her a pendant I hope she'll like with anodized special titanium. I'll attach it at the bottom of the post.

QOTD: I try to watch saturated fats but overall I don't worry about it as much a carbs. At least carbs and fiber together. If it's fiber rich I am more forgiving of carbs somewhat. If I do have carb rich stuff(I'm looking at you potatoes) I try to pair it with a fat/protein rich food.

B: eggs and coffee

the rest is unplanned

I'm trying to sell this wallet chain and no one is interested...it is chonky!

Huge coincidence I got a great job offer ! Not much munny but its on a cruise ship so tot fun!

Morning ~ teach a water aerobics class w great music ..

midday teach ballroom dancing

again later another ballroom dancing class

then Zumba!

i can tell Im gonna b SO TIRED! And Im supposed 2 partner(jes dance in their "clubs") w the single ol men at nite ..:

Finally moved in ... and literally slept 4 three days straight .

Now I know what this " adventuring " took out of m .

No furniture as yet ... food is sketchy too . Have so much of it but can barely get anything down - weird. I detest cold food so thats probably (hopefully ) th reason.

Apartment looks lite n brite n gorgeous - hints of cobalt green on living room walls - cobalt violet n rose madder in my bedroom and BRIGHT cobalt blue w ultra pure white gloss trim n ceilings in the hall n gloss white in the bathrooms . Renters will have white n off white in their studios .

Already moved in th orchids :)

Im very excited about learning from my DA UA and BDA meetings tomorrow ! Theres a TON 2 learn and experience jes walkin thru it .

Yep ... part of m is terrified ... im so unused 2 standing up 4 myself ... I was raised 2 b a " good grrl " - helpful , sweet accommodating to everyone else and poor as a churchmouse .. self sacrificing even .

Gosh Im mad I swallowed this total nonsense!!

Honestly jes 2 give myself a fair chance .. I grew up in a misogynistic tot financially unfair CULT ! n now gotta break ALL th rules 2 get fair treatment.

Go****s great 2 C U Grrrl!!

Its been way too long !

Ajj ... well looks like were mostly happy and supportive of each other except when were not.

Tot luv hearing from my sweet adorable guys n grrlz !!

Yeah I suppose its a mixed bag but ALWAYS interesting . The coolest peeple post on here
