Good Morning!
Breaking News......There is a big bright thingy in the sky! Run for your lives!!! LOL!!
I read a bit, watched some video's..humored the cat..in out, need snacks, this on top of already eating a can of cat food...Shrimp and fish! I expect the day will come...and I will miss all this. ?
I really, really take exception to the dude with his glucose meter. I'm thinking they should not give these things to people who are clueless. After a meal, and his BS had increased to a reading in the teens...like dude, that's how blood sugars work..eat, spike, (which is Normal) . If you do a correct sugar reading...its postprandial meaning 2 hours after your meal. So, in my mind if your rise after eating is this small, you've eaten a lot of fat and protein for your meal...ring in Keto, or Dr. Adkins...you remember him...eat all the meat and butter you can...him who had advanced heart disease...and I'll guess his kidneys were probably groaning/screaming from having to deal with protein overload. Oh, and he was fat to boot...by about 30 pounds. Way to go fake Diet Doc.
Today I plan to get a jump on my week by doing laundry! and mopping a few floors...and applying the duster to a lot of things. (should be to everything, but I'm not in the mood for that kinda thing today)
Leg feels pretty good this morning. YAY!!
My yard is so pretty...lots and lots of Lenten Rose blooming, and my little clumps of daffodils, Daphne is loving this easy (so far) winter. but what is really astounding, is my moss lawn!!! So pretty, and light-ish green, offsets the clumps of darker foliage, and the browns of trees and shrubs haven't gotten their leaves yet.
Ok, I'm about to 'hop up' from my chair and get the 'ToDo's list checked off....
Later...

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 38 degrees. The wind in the forecast arrived on schedule and as I was out walking facing into wind gusts they were strong enough to bring me to a near stop so I changed my plans as far as where I walked to have the wind at my side for most of the walk.

I have not watched that one about the sweeteners yet, I would have hoped that when he says I tested my fasting blood sugar upon waking. I then drank my morning coffee with the equivalent of 4 teaspoons of each sweetener, and took my blood sugar level again after one hour.
that the coffee was all he had before the second test, I guess I'll know after watching it.

That is something I should be thinking about, I already did one of my To Do items this morning when I walked to the post office and mailed a couple of bill payments off. The only other items is possibly go to the bank later and deposit the Income Tax Refund Check, it could also wait until Wednesday when I know I can get the car out or even until my Pension Check arrives. They are both going into the account that I use to Pay one of my credit cards from and that card is up higher than I want due to buying books for my brother off of Amazon.
I hope the leg continues to feel better until 100% is reached.
So far only the Snow Drops have bloomed and they even bloom through snow.
Have a Good Day

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 29 degrees. The wind from yesterday has moderated, however there was enough to cause a wind chill in the 0 to 10 degree range according to the weather forecast and It did feel like that.

Good Morning Guys!
Sun is shining, with promise of a great day! As soon as my arm feels better that is. While at Little Doc's yesterday, reviewing my vaccination record, she said I needed to update my Pneumovax vaccine to Pneumovax 23...so I did. Just shoot me! My arm is soooo sore. the reaction started in the afternoon, probably about 4 hours after the injection. (which was sooo smooth I truly did not feel it!!) Anyway, the injection site began to itch. So I put some anti itch lotion that I had on it and went on with my life....this morning, its hot, hard in an area about 1.5 X 2.5 and sore as _______....well fill in your own word. I just finished eating my breakfast, which today included an Aleve for dessert. I have some searching to do in just a minute. Guessing that the original Pheumo antibodies were still active, and that the new ones were looked upon as an invader, and they have been attacked! Whatever, not comfy, not happy. I'm sure the Aleve will help a great deal. Otherwise Little Doc may be seeing me sooner than she expected!
Other than that, I got a clean bill of health.
I also went to Costco AND Kroger before my afternoon appointment with Little Doc...I actually expected my leg to be sore...but its not. Maybe the arm (injected it into my Triceps muscle) soreness trumped the leg bone???? LOL!
Not much else..no particular plans for today. An area near the kitchen where my carpet could use a good cleaning, eh, maybe...catch up on some reading...maybe... I'm sure something will come along to keep my occupied. Always does.
Kinda giggly about Roger's perception of just what a Burrito 'should' be. How abut purple potato, beans rice and finely chopped broccoli??? With a splat of plant based cheeze sauce??? LOL!! Really!!!
Several of his articles from today I mean to read...see, already things are beginning to show up...and there is also the Pneumovax 23 to read up on. I do want to get outside for a bit this afternoon to look at my yard! I may, just might, take a pruner with me......I can here the shrubs quaking already! Seriously the roses need to be cut back, also the butterfly bush, etc...and so it begins...must be 'pre-spring' already in GA.
Ed's busy with company, but you need to know Ed that I'm enjoying video's as I get a chance to watch them.
I seem to be almost as busy as I was when I was working...driving to this or that 3-4 times a week, trying to manage chores, etc. ACK!! When I get back from the beach Ed, we need to schedule a morning/midday coffee time!
OH! About my exam yesterday....I had to play 20 questions...the nurse asked me 'idiot' questions like what year is it, what month is it?? And part of the assessment was about could I do light housekeeping, drive, shower, dress independently, and eventually we got into the fun stuff...memory check...She first warned me that she would be giving me a list to remember and regurgitate later...finally...The house is RED...the car is GREEN. When you go to the car you must remember to take your 'KEYS and WALLET, and ONE shoe....um huh...ONE shoe. I laughed. And later when asked I could tell her all the above. This was new. I've never had this kind of assessment before. I guess it triggered because of this coming birthday. I surely hope I can continue to pass muster for as long as I can still breathe!

I tend to have a sore spot where vaccines are injected, However nothing as severe as what You are experiencing. I hope the Aleve helps, I tend to stick to Aspirin.
I would say that is a good thing that the Knee is OK, Maybe it is healed or nearly healed ?
Was there anything interesting that You picked up from CostCo ? I really should finish unloading the trunk from last weeks visit, OTOH I still have two boxes of Kleenex and I'm pretty sure the 10 pack of Kleenex will not spoil.

I did try the Dollar Tree Frozen Burritos and they were OK, Lots of carbs and calories however.

What the heck, Those questions sound like some sort of Government required questionnaire, Talk about intrusive. I might have trouble with that one, I was never good at memorizing useless junk like that. I wonder if I will be getting asked the same thing when I go to doctor.
Good Luck, I hope these are not going to happen frequently.

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Company is gone, much to Orion's relief, and I need to get yesterday's load of laundry folded and put away, and do some more laundry today. I might get out to Aldi for some handy frozen pancakes so we can eat some for lunch. Or I could just make some...
HAPPY NATIONAL PANCAKE DAY!

Hi, Quick note...on this Wednesday 2 27
Have to shower so I can make my way to town and my hair cut. I will come back for video's AND several of the articles.
Cloudy, my weather apps (yes I have two) are both showing drizzle today....in Duluth GA, my closest weather reporting station...on the other hand ATLANTA is only cloudy for the day....wait, WHAT?? The ATL is only 20 miles away...
My BIG decision for the day....do I drive to WF since its so close...or do I not. Also there are at least 3 things I've seen from Trader Joes that interest me...top pick is Chili Lime Cashews...now I could really get into that!
