Mmm wow didn't know those existed!!
It was just a jelly doughnut with (glorious) peanut butter frosting, but it was absolutely what I needed/wanted.
My local doughnut shop makes a strawberry filled doughnut with peanut butter icing. I miss those. And this year they are making a pumpkin filled with cream cheese icing. I got Mr. Mel.one the other day. It smelled wonderful.
Dear God,
Please let Heaven be filled with these pumpkin donuts when I get there. Thank you.

Yes, yes... 1000 times yes.
The only good thing about fall: it's Pumpkin Season.
Blasphemy! I love fall. I can't wait for jacket weather.
ETA: It occurs to me that Canadian fall is probably not what I'd like fall to be. I'll just be over here with my apple cider...
Yep- separated at birth.
I am a fall/winter person. I like sweaters, tights, high boots, etc. I do not like summer clothes. I am always glad when fall hits.
I agree I love seeing how people layer their clothes, their boots, & the different jacks they wear.
Plus it's better to see customers in more clothes rather than seeing less of them.
I enjoy every season but usually by the end of one season I'm ready for the next.
I'm looking forward to fall and cooler weather.
I enjoy 3 seasons of the year like that. Usually by Christmas I'm sick of winter.
Did you stick to your prelogged dinner drinks?
My prelogged drinks? Yes - except there may have been a couple additional bottle cap shooters in there. Still under calories for yesterday even if I log them.
All good! What are bottle cap shooters?
A bottle cap shooter is when you take a glass and put some lime juice in it. Then you put a shot glass of red sour puss (a liqueur) in the glass and drink them both together.
Tastes somewhat like bottle cap candy.
Is that all it is?! Those are one of my favorite shots but I had never learned what was in them.0 -

Worst part is, I'll never know whether or not he made it alright, unless I see him there again. We don't follow up with patients. Once they're gone, we have no idea what happened unless another doctor calls to update or consult about the patient.
That's so sad! I hope everything was okay, whether you know about it or not.
I will keep him in my prayers how sad:(.0 -

That's because you live in Canada!
Yes. Winter is long and dark and cold and snowy.
I HATE winter, HATE it.....there is nothing I like about it at all. Even when people say that they like to have snow at Christmas.....nope, I don't, I do not celebrate outside so there is no need for snow.
Snow is the devil's doing!!
I think you and I were separated at birth. Lol
Yeah it is starting to look that way!0 -

Yes. Winter is long and dark and cold and snowy.
Yes it is. I hate that is still dark in the morning when I get up now. I am not a fan of winter at all!
I hate when you go to work in the dark and when you leave, still dark
I hate that too! My office area doesn't have any windows so I basically don't see any sunshine Monday to Friday during the winter. The older I get the more I'm liking winter though - probably because I can't handle heat. The only other part of winter I truly hate is freezing rain. It makes me mad just thinking about it - it's impossible to scrape off the car windows, and I can't walk anywhere because the whole town becomes a skating rink!
Yeah, I have fallen a few times and really hurt myself so now I am super slow and paranoid.....my friends said if I walked any slower in the winter I would be going backwards!0 -
I was taking Tessa out for our morning walk/run (I decided on interval training). We always walk past this one house and this lady sits on her front porch and when her dogs start barking at Tessa like mad, she "Tsks" at us. EVERY TIME.
Well my time to 'run' was going to come up in front of this lady's house and I don't want to be judged, glared at, and "tsked" at while running. Not fun. So here's my confession:
I thought of @Italian_Buju and her profile pic and thought to myself, "It doesn't matter what she looks at, judges, or "tsks" at. It's her problem, not mine. I'm lapping her @$$ anyway because all I've ever seen her do is sit on that outdoor couch."
I ran right past her house and she "Tsked" me and I didn't even care. I was doing my body good and she can just sit there and watch me be amazing.

I really love the job. That was the first time I had a legitimate breakdown after work. I'm working for ScribeAmerica (not sure if company makes any difference). Our shifts are 9 hours during the day (7-4, 9-6, 3-12, 5-2) or 8 hours overnight (11-7). We only have 2 scribe computers and have some overlap where we need 3, so we're required to show up 10 - 15 minutes early to get ready and find a computer (usually steal one of the ones the nurses are on). We are required to take 30 minutes unpaid for a break, and the pay is eh ($10/hr after training [or whatever state minimum wage is if it's higher than $10/hr], minimum wage during training). We use the Cerner system which works well. I've learned a lot though and keep learning every day. We've had so many unique cases come in and it's always interesting to see what they consider an emergency (there's 5 color-codings of emergency... light blue, blue, green, yellow, red, with reds being true emergencies). If you're offered the job, I recommend taking it, as the experience alone is well worth it.0 -

I confess I'm a home wrecker......
Today as I was out walking I noticed a pretty blue gray bird by the side of the lake and as I passed, I watched it fly off it was beautiful.
When I turned my face forward again I did so just in time to see the middle of a rather large spider web. It spanned over my head to mid chest.
First of all I'm sorry spider for wrecking your very close knit large web. I'm sure it took along time to make. I hope you have enough web to build another one
Secondly. Shriek, wild thrashing about with my arms trying to get it off of me, and dear God please don't let that spider be on me.

office and when I called his office they stated that it was not ordered.
He explained that I could change this with changes in my diet and exercise.
When I complained my legs hurt all the time his answer was, “You don’t have to do a lot just start moving some. Then add exercises as you can.
After a search of food diaries on July 4 I started with MFP I started with an average of 6621 steps a day felt exhausted and slept a lot. Last week my average was 10442
I started just logging what I ate making sure it was under my calorie goals but making sure I ate my protein goals. I continued to eat what I wanted. I have not been hungry or did I feel deprived. On average my splits were 40% carb 30%protein, and 30% fat
Today at my follow up visit my doctor

@MelissaPhippsFeagins It's definitely one of the roughest parts of the job. One of my neighbors (lives in the same town, not sure exactly where) came in with a "brain bleed" after taking a pretty nasty fall not too long ago and I know he got flown, just not sure what happened afterwards. Funnily enough, the next day, someone asked me if I knew where that guy lived, because they were looking for his house and had the wrong address, and I couldn't tell them anything about it! I had to just say "oh no, I've never met/heard of him, sorry!" because otherwise I'd be violating HIPAA, since I have access to names, addresses, DOB, last 4 of SSN, what a person admits to for drug/alcohol/tobacco/sex/family/home, all medical records received... a lot of personal info
I would have usually told them to go up to the store and ask there, but it was like 10PM and I'm pretty sure it was his son... 0 -
NSV! After feeling bright, sprightly and energetic all day (this can almost certainly be directly attributed to the gorgeous spring weather), I got to the ice rink, and on my second warm-up lap...tripped on my toepick at speed and landed heavily on my right knee. It hurt like crazy, and I can still barely put weight on it, so end of the session for me.
The NSV came afterwards, though. On my way home, I was sulking and grumbling and got in the turning lane to go get my favourite takeaway (not quite grief bacon, more like frustration bacon)...and then I said "NO!" and got out of the turning lane and drove straight home and had my planned dinner!
(I did have a big bowl of ice cream that fit into my calories, too!)0 -
We don't have pumpkin flavoured ANYTHING here. We don't even have tinned pumpkin. You can buy fresh ones around Halloween but that's about it (and I think we have pumpkin soup!). I don't really know what it tastes of. Another thing to try if I ever make it to the USA again.0

My all-grown-up daughter reminded me the other day that one Halloween she woke up the morning after to find a pile of wrappers in the living room. My explanation that I was saving her from the ravages of candy did not go over well.
Must remember to buy her a pile of chocolate when she visits during the holidays.
Ah, the memories.
I have saved my family from the ravages of chocolate many times over the years

NSV!

Yay!! That's a wonderful NSV! 0 -

Well my time to 'run' was going to come up in front of this lady's house and I don't want to be judged, glared at, and "tsked" at while running. Not fun. So here's my confession:
I thought of @Italian_Buju and her profile pic and thought to myself, "It doesn't matter what she looks at, judges, or "tsks" at. It's her problem, not mine. I'm lapping her @$$ anyway because all I've ever seen her do is sit on that outdoor couch."
I ran right past her house and she "Tsked" me and I didn't even care. I was doing my body good and she can just sit there and watch me be amazing.

@MelissaPhippsFeagins It's definitely one of the roughest parts of the job. One of my neighbors (lives in the same town, not sure exactly where) came in with a "brain bleed" after taking a pretty nasty fall not too long ago and I know he got flown, just not sure what happened afterwards. Funnily enough, the next day, someone asked me if I knew where that guy lived, because they were looking for his house and had the wrong address, and I couldn't tell them anything about it! I had to just say "oh no, I've never met/heard of him, sorry!" because otherwise I'd be violating HIPAA, since I have access to names, addresses, DOB, last 4 of SSN, what a person admits to for drug/alcohol/tobacco/sex/family/home, all medical records received... a lot of personal info I would have usually told them to go up to the store and ask there, but it was like 10PM and I'm pretty sure it was his son...
It's always weird when you know a patient. Last year, two of my brothers were my patients for.purposes of getting trauma care.paid. One of my sisters-in-law asked me if they were telling her everything. I was able to tell her yes because we're both on his HIPAA list. And ages ago, a high school classmate of my mom's was a patient of mine. That lasted for months because he was a chemo patient. That was weird because my dad and uncle were worried about him and I couldn't say anything about it at all.
My dad, however, is the worst. He has his doctors tell me things and then tells me I can't tell my brothers. He tells them about half the truth.0
