    NSV - got $3 at CVS in bonus bucks and wanted to get a Larry/Lenny organic chocolate chip cookie- instead I spent some money and got 30% off my raw almonds.

    okay the calories are still in the red with the hot chocolate and caramel/peanut/pretzel Hershey bar - but I could have completely crashed and burned.

    Gyn consult apt that dr wants me to have the first apt is in September - gives me some time to think about this......

    Missed my chance for nap. Tomorrow is another day.

    Sara - Wow what is so special about this gyn that you couldn't get an appointment for 4 1/2 months. They don't seem to be at all "available". What happens if you ever have an emergency?
    Sounds like a chi chi poo poo Park Avenue doctor. Jeez. What is there "to think about"?

    The Hershey bar sounded good.

    Lana - waves frantically... I've heard of women they have to make appt 6 months or more in advance...I don't know how you would do that...

    Well, I buggered up my ankle/foot really good at working... not 100% sure what I did.... was taking a dog out, he wouldn't come down stairs, so I turned and picked him up...I was looking him in the face, talking to him and, down I went... thankfully, I somewhat gracefully, set pup down next to me and I just lay down... so, I am in quite a bit of pain... had to finish last hour at work...Dr's told me to sit and put ice on it, but stuff wasn't getting done, so I didn't sit... after a couple of stops, I made it home, put foot up and ice on it for the last 2 hrs... supposed to go visit family, tomorrow... hopefully, feel better in morning...

    Lana- awesome on WI! So wonderful!

    SATURDAY

    Good morning,

    Will need to get batteries for BP machine. I will take BP once a week - better than nothing - and see if I can get myself to take it more often.

    Really have no clue about meals next week, so thinking of making more fried rice and freezing.

    Back for more sleep. BBL

    Dawn - Good grief! So sorry about your ankle and foot. I so hope that nothing is broken or torn. You poor thing!
    As for visiting your family, is this foot the gas/brake foot for driving?

    Lana - yes it is... just my luck...I made it to family's... thank goodness for cruise control...think I'm going to overdo it as I feel like it feels better, the more I walk... but, it hits me when I stop...I think I just twisted/strained it pretty good... had ice on it for quite a while, last night... slightly swollen, but not broke I'm sure... guess that was my "bad luck" for Friday the 13th...hehe

    SUNDAY

    Good morning,

    Dawn - rain will find us later today and not ready for Spring, though snow is worse I agree. I sleep better under warm blankets so that is a plus.

    Cooking and laundry after grocery shopping. I get one more 3 day weekend this Friday and so far no medical appointments.........yes I did just roll my eyes.

    Oatmeal timer just went off. BBL.

    Good grief - I just finished a one hour session of yard work. I put it into the MFP thing, and all I could find was General Gardening. They gave me 429 calorie credits for that hour. Although I am out of shape and dripping with sweat, I do not believe that I burned 429 calories out there. So I will stay within my original calories for the day if I can, or go over only 100 or 200.

    I think that my scale in NYC weighs about a pound heavier than the one in NC. Getting ready for that uptick on Tuesday. Flying north on Monday.

    I’m a little late hear, but i think that the estimation is probably accurate for yard work, especially if you were completely worn out. Yard work can be pretty intense!

    Oh no! I’ll be praying for quick healing!

    I went to the doctor Monday for my left shoulder, turns out I have bursitis in that shoulder and tendinosis in BOTH shoulders. That means no shoulder work in weight room. Which makes me soooooo sad! Also, no bench press and no triceps. It basically all leg work every day. I have exercises for me to do at home, and I’m not supposed to lift my hands above my head too much for a couple of weeks.

    Ash- thank you for prayers... I'm on the mend.. honestly, I probably would be even better if I had stayed home and kept it up more... but, I hate to let family down, so I suffer.. sorry about your shoulders that doesn't sound fun at all... glad you got some 1 on 1 time with the guy...I like doing group things, as I have nothing to talk about and think the other person would be bored... but, sometimes, you need that alone time to see if it's even worth trying to move forward... glad it went well and hope you have many more good times, together..

    Sara - I sleep good under warm covers as well... especially, since I have a warm body and 2 fur babies to help...hehe... glad you get to enjoy a day off with no medical appointments...

    Lana - coffee on the way! Then, send them my way...hehe

    Lunch with fam, today. Not sure if that will include bringing Gpa home... he was a bit confused, yesterday... Will definitely visit with him, either way...

    Hello Everybody~~

    My head is a little disfunctional today because I got really choppy sleep and not enough of it.

    Ash - Glad to hear that Mr. Man is a thumbs up. Bummer about shoulder.

    Dawn - Glad to hear that you made it out to family.

    Can both of you take ibuprofen/Advil to reduce the inflammation? That's what I like about Advil--it actually DOES something. Tylenol just fiddles with your perception of pain.

    Sara - Happy Cooking Day for you, after your shopping.

    I've packed up a small but critical amount of painting supplies that will ultimately go with me to Wyoming. I am dragging along a bathing suit, in case I can go with my friend to her health club to do the water exercise class while I'm there.

    OK, is it time for a nap?

    Waving to them and all who stop by later on~~

    Now, it's definitely nap time.

    Lana - yes, I have been taking Ibuprofen... think it's kinda working...

    Bought a new pair of jeans and T Shirt, yesterday... couldn't pass up price...$10 for "end of season" jeans... have to admit, they're men's... but, they are better than the women's skinny jeans... do companies not realize, not all women are size 4 with toothpick legs? These fit great, pockets on the back are big and a little odd.... but, I'm all about comfort and they are actually cute... not bad, $17 for entire outfit...

    Gpa did get to come home for lunch... didn't eat much, now napping in his chair... he is so ready to be home...I think our biggest obstacle is Gma... she doesn't want a stranger in her house and, I think, her biggest issue is watching the man she loves "disappear" right in front of her... he's been in the nursing home for exactly 1 year...1 year too long... but, the way to get him home is a chore itself... just really don't know what to do..

    nap time!! may happen between waves of domesticity- laundry /dishwasher/oven on - celery set up for hummus/work and fried rice tonight. Next wave will be making rice and cooking collard greens. Potatoes and carrots are roasting bought a soy base chicken teriyaki packet to go with potatoes carrots- so they are taken care of.

    Searching for wide box toe shoes that I can wear to work - cannot buy online but try on so I wait - I am doing research on brands that get better reviews.
