    Still working-13-hour days all week. I keep saying NO I can’t help you...and people shovel it on. If I turn off computer...they call and call and call. My back is really tense right now. I have so much to do to get ready for our trip...work is getting in the way! Doctor tomorrow to re-check toe (i think it looks fine). I picked up Oscar’s meds so he’s covered until we return. Oops...cooking broccoli and turkey fillets, so need to run!

    I cooked my turkey fillets in a frying pan with olive oil and garlic...near the end, i add lemon juice. Greeks use lots of lemon juice. Luckily I didn’t overcook anything...dinner was yummy. My entire body hurts...plus a low-grade fever. I thought the body pain was from the ulcer meds, but that doesn’t explain the fever.

    I’ve had a painful growth on my toe for a couple years. I kept showing it to my MD. Two weeks ago, he froze it. Then it turned black and became volcano shaped with oozy red “lava”. Yesterday went for recheck...he didn’t like the way it looked. So i went to the dermatologist. He said it needed to come off and get biopsied. He said it’s okay to gobon vacation. They’ll call with the biopsy results. He said not to worry but he thinks it’s basal cell carcinoma. My muscles and joints feel much improved today (24-hours off ulcer meds), so I’ll restart at the lower dose.

    AC was churning away Thursday and on my return to the house I have turned it on early. Hopefully getting the house cooled off early helps. It was 77 degrees at 5AM in the living room.

    Before anything else later on, a Run to CostCo for Kleenex, Frozen Vegetables and some sort of fruit to be determined based on price and what looks really good.

    Hi Val
    I would not be surprised if the Low Grade Fever is related to a medication.

    I like Turkey lightly crisped AKA Browned on the outside as long as it is cooked. It is common for me to use leftover Turkey browned in the skillet.
    I’ve had a painful growth on my toe for a couple years. I kept showing it to my MD. Two weeks ago, he froze it. Then it turned black and became volcano shaped with oozy red “lava”. Yesterday went for recheck...he didn’t like the way it looked. So i went to the dermatologist. He said it needed to come off and get biopsied. He said it’s okay to go on vacation. They’ll call with the biopsy results. He said not to worry but he thinks it’s basal cell carcinoma. My muscles and joints feel much improved today (24-hours off ulcer meds), so I’ll restart at the lower dose.
    Yikes, That does not sound as if the MD was really on the ball if it took a couple of years. Nobody should have to live with constant pain.

    I hope the lower dose does the job, it might pay to check with a doctor and see if some other medicine would work without pain.

    I saw this, Hopefully That is not the same 2.4 pounds.

    Hello!

    Well, that was a crazy week. We made it to S.C. in one piece. Actually an easy trip and the weather was good for traveling. We ate out the entire time and we were occasionally healthy.
    My daughter was - she is doing the keto diet. She managed to find things and stay on track. A few places were actually easy for her. I did well the first day, then forget it! :D

    VAL *****Vegetarian Alert-- Do not look!! ******
    The best place was a buffet BBQ place called Little Piggies. Hole in the wall country place. Obviously not dietetic. I have been dying to go back to eat there for about 15 years. They just have awesome stuff and the best Mustard BBQ I have ever tasted and not found any where else. It is a little sweet- but not harsh at all. I can not duplicate it! I brought back 3 pints of sauce with me! They have tomato based, mustard based, and cider vinegar based BBQ, ribs, pork chops, hash, rice, dirty rice, mashed potatoes and potato salad, hush puppies,baked beans, green beans, collards, sweet potatoes, corn bread, white bread, tomato pie, grits, corn, tomatoes, fried okra, and more...They have fresh crackling pieces , fried chicken, and other stuff.. Homemade banana pudding and chocolate pudding and it is all home made and out of this world...I could die and go to heaven!! LOL! o:)

    My step mom is doing about the same. She is a trip and hard to visit, lol...

    I also backed into my step mom's neighbor's truck leaving the driveway. Her truck was parked on the street. Put a wonderful big dent in my bumper corner and dented her wheel well trim part that sticks out. I was so embarrassed I could have truly died. She just gave me a hug and told me it happens....Very sweet lady and understanding with an entire arm sleeve of tattoos. I had had 1 hour of sleep the night before, our first nite in. Zoned out with my step mother just yakking....Insurance people were also nice and I will get it fixed next week. :s

    Catching up on you two and articles! I just never got to my computer during the trip...

    Take care all! Great weight loss, Val. So sorry about your toe! Hope it gets better!!

    Sorry about your weather Roger! We had severe thunderstorms every nite in S.C. except the last day. They did not hit till 8 pm. I love them. It was 99 degrees in Montgomery today, without the humidity factored in. We must have had quite the storm. I have branches down as well as my trash can blown around!

    Glad to be home!!! Missed you all! ...Jan

    Hi Roger. I’ve had the same doctor for 8 years, since arriving in San Antonio. I really like him, but he does ignore complaints of pain. Or, at least my complaints of pain. This is concerning because potential cancer should have been removed years ago! He also kept telling me that nothing could be done about my hip for a year of immobility and pain. One week until we leave on vacation! I vacuumed out the car, and started loading things we need easy access to. I bought each girl a little hard-backed diary to write about where they go...and they just so happen to fit in each door handle by each seat! I am bringing 4 gallons of water—emergency supply. And-work -a HUGE proposal was released yesterday...do I have one week to finish one month of work! Yuck!!! Plus today, we go to school to get Em signed up for her sophomore classes.

    Hi Jan
    From what I remember a Keto Diet should be easy to eat out as Long as You do not mind wasting some of the plates of food that do not fit.

    Did You ever search the Internet for a recipe, I searched Via Google and Bing using this search line
    little piggies mustard BBQ recipe :)
    I found this for example
    http://www.bbq-sauce-recipes.com/mustard-bbq-sauces/445/piggie-park-style-mustard-bbq-sauce-recipe/

    https://www2.bing.com/search?q="little+piggies"+mustard+BBQ+recipe&qs=n&form=QBLH&sp=-1&pq="little+piggies"+mustard+bbq+recipe&sc=1-35&sk=&cvid=CB4522E3B5F9420FB1F83E84F7C63B26

    I stopped in the Grocery Store on the way to CostCo Friday and picked up some discounted refrigerated foods. I picked up what I though was 3 packages of BBQ Wings, Turned out I did not look close enough, I ended up with one BBQ Wings and two BBQ Chicken Tenders and a package of Pork Milanese. I found out my mistake when I heated what I thought were two Chicken Wings and bit in and said where's the Bone :wink: They stayed cold in the trunk while I blitzed through CostCo. The Doors were open when I got there and I was inside at 9:50 and paid at the register at 9:59. I put the cold and frozen items in a box in the trunk and they get wrapped in a Small knitted blanket that keeps them cold despite the heat.

    I picked up a ten pack of Kleenex, a bag of if Frozen Organic Brussels sprouts, and the usual other two vegetables which is the Normandy Mix and Organic Green Beans from the freezer. The Sprouts were a bit pricey with 4 one pound bags in the larger bag for $8.99. I did not see the price before hand or I might have passed on them :neutral:

    I did manage to pass the food court despite the Chicken Bakes which I do like calling me to buy them.
    My step mom is doing about the same. She is a trip and hard to visit, lol...

    I also backed into my step mom's neighbor's truck leaving the driveway. Her truck was parked on the street. Put a wonderful big dent in my bumper corner and dented her wheel well trim part that sticks out. I was so embarrassed I could have truly died.

    Hi Val
    I am so used to using a DVR that when I listen to the radio I wish I had a skip back button if I miss something.
    That does sound like a nice neighbor, So many people are touchy about their cars.
    Hi Roger. I’ve had the same doctor for 8 years, since arriving in San Antonio. I really like him, but he does ignore complaints of pain. Or, at least my complaints of pain. This is concerning because potential cancer should have been removed years ago! He also kept telling me that nothing could be done about my hip for a year of immobility and pain. One week until we leave on vacation! I vacuumed out the car, and started loading things we need easy access to. I bought each girl a little hard-backed diary to write about where they go...and they just so happen to fit in each door handle by each seat! I am bringing 4 gallons of water—emergency supply. And-work -a HUGE proposal was released yesterday...do I have one week to finish one month of work! Yuck!!! Plus today, we go to school to get Em signed up for her sophomore classes.
    I saw this on the news last night.
    https://abcnews.go.com/Health/sticking-doctor-lead-longer-life/story?id=56239973
    Does sticking with the same doctor lead to a longer life?

    About 21 percent of Americans do not have a personal doctor, according to the 2016 analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation, with Alaska topping out at 32.2 percent.

    However, a new systematic review suggests that when a person sees the same doctor over time that it can lead to a lower chance of an early death.


    I would have thought that he would suggest being evaluated for a Hip replacement or to determine the cause :(

    My Brother keeps a case of 24 bottles of 0.5 Liter water behind the drivers seat just in case too.

    Dang it if your work does not keep overloading You :(

    Good Luck at the school for Em getting the classes she wants.

    I bet You can not wait to go on vacation.

    Em’s going to be a sophomore. Today we met with the new dean of students. He asked is she would be taking Geometry. She replied that she finished geometry and algebra ii last year; this year she was taking SP Statistics and pre-AP Calculus. He paused, looked back at jis computer and then said, oh, okay. She’s also taking pre-AP Chemistry and AP World History and some other stuff. She went to her first HS party Friday night. One mom took get and the 2 girls yhat are going on our trip and the other mom picked them up and brought her home. I was 100% beyond asleep. When i woke at 5am, i was texting w a friend when it occurred to me that I didn’t actually know if she was home. So I searched Find My Friends and saw that her phone made it home. Not my optimal mom-moment...but its nice to trust my kid and her friends. Poor health day—twice i was in such agony that I almost called 911, plus 2 lesser episodes. Extreme abdominal pain. I don’t know why. Possible gas pain? But it subsided and no gas, so, I don’t know. Feeling improved (not good) now.

    Good morning!

    Sounds like your vacation is coming in the nick of time Val. I hope you will not be too worked to death before hand to enjoy it! What a great idea to pick up the journals! Sounds like you can be very proud of Em!!

    When my kids went out as teenagers, I read about a great trick, as I would fall asleep too! I set my alarm for their curfew, and when they got home, they would quietly turn it off. Obviously if it went off, they were not home. Luckily I never had that happen, nor did they forget about the alarm, lol... :#

    I am so sorry you are in such pain. That does not seem right or a good thing..But congratulations on doing well with your lbs. lost! Great accomplishment!

    Roger, I am forever picking up things I thought I didn't, lol. I am notorious for picking the thing next to it, in an attempt to not pick up the thing I was trying to avoid! Sounded like good food anyway! Yay on passing the food court!!

    I am going to check out those sauces. I did years ago, but not lately. Maybe they are close!!

    Take care all!! No place like home...Jan :)

    PS_ Maurices, the first BBQ sauce is my 2nd favorite place, but their ketchup base is better, IMO.
    However, the next one may be close. I coulds taste mustard, honey and brown sugar definitely. Not so much the other ingredients, but it gives me a good starting place for proportions. And I can try it before I run out of the sauce from SC and forget what it tastes like!! ;) ...Thanks!

    Em’s going to be a sophomore. Today we met with the new dean of students. He asked is she would be taking Geometry. She replied that she finished geometry and algebra ii last year; this year she was taking SP Statistics and pre-AP Calculus. He paused, looked back at his computer and then said, oh, okay. She’s also taking pre-AP Chemistry and AP World History and some other stuff. She went to her first HS party Friday night. One mom took get and the 2 girls that are going on our trip and the other mom picked them up and brought her home. I was 100% beyond asleep. When i woke at 5am, i was texting w a friend when it occurred to me that I didn’t actually know if she was home. So I searched Find My Friends and saw that her phone made it home. Not my optimal mom-moment...but its nice to trust my kid and her friends. Poor health day—twice i was in such agony that I almost called 911, plus 2 lesser episodes. Extreme abdominal pain. I don’t know why. Possible gas pain? But it subsided and no gas, so, I don’t know. Feeling improved (not good) now.
    Hi Val
    Congratulations on Your daughters achievements with all the AP and Pre AP classes. I suspect that she is feeling very grown up with the party and all.

    I wonder if the pain could have been from something You ate. I worked with someone that was sure he was having a Heart Attack and went to the hospital, It was Gas, luckily for him.

    Have a Good Day

    Good morning!

    Sounds like your vacation is coming in the nick of time Val. I hope you will not be too worked to death before hand to enjoy it! What a great idea to pick up the journals! Sounds like you can be very proud of Em!!

    When my kids went out as teenagers, I read about a great trick, as I would fall asleep too! I set my alarm for their curfew, and when they got home, they would quietly turn it off. Obviously if it went off, they were not home. Luckily I never had that happen, nor did they forget about the alarm, lol... :#

    I am so sorry you are in such pain. That does not seem right or a good thing..But congratulations on doing well with your lbs. lost! Great accomplishment!

    Roger, I am forever picking up things I thought I didn't, lol. I am notorious for picking the thing next to it, in an attempt to not pick up the thing I was trying to avoid! Sounded like good food anyway! Yay on passing the food court!!

    I am going to check out those sauces. I did years ago, but not lately. Maybe they are close!!

    Take care all!! No place like home...Jan :)
    Hi Jan
    That is a neat trick, and I suspect that their knowing about the alarm clock made the sure to beat it home :wink:

    You would think by now that I would have learned to read the labels more carefully :(

    The BBQ Chicken Tenders were tasty, the problem with them is the breading adds empty if tasty calories.

    PS_ Maurices, the first BBQ sauce is my 2nd favorite place, but their ketchup base is better, IMO.
    However, the next one may be close. I could taste mustard, honey and brown sugar definitely. Not so much the other ingredients, but it gives me a good starting place for proportions. And I can try it before I run out of the sauce from SC and forget what it tastes like!! ;) ...Thanks!
    One thing I have learned is that there are sites on the Internet that have recipes to help You make food that is the same as other chains use for example.

    BTW I noticed this, congratulations

    That sounds like a plan
    Good Luck
