I was feeling good and enjoyed our trip to Houston. But it seems the UTI wasn’t completely gone after antibiotics course. So back to the clinic and more antibiotics!!! I was want to take naps and be crabby. 😡3
-
Oh, Yooly. I can't imagine that and the heat!!!!
I hope you get relief from both soon.
Today it has cooled off here - and pouring rain this morning. Feels and smells so good.

Not warm enough yet! 😞 It's tricky you know! Have to either set out to do this, or have scale in car and either forethought to bring scale with me (so planned cone) or car near enough to not reduce product weight on the way back to car!🫣 I'm sure I'll manage something soon! 😬😳2
-
Thank you, PAV! How are YOU feeling? How is your recovery coming along?????

Good but slow! Uphill harder than downhill. First hit 🍦for the team was 375 Cal at 197g!😳😹 Felt heavier than most but not insanely1
-
OMG ... that is disappointing. I guess I'll need to start asking them to give me a smaller cone?????
I guess we have to be happy for any kind of progress. Even slow.

I had one tonight that I swear must’ve been close to 300 g. But PAV I’m not gonna worry about those ice cream cones. When things go awry for me it’s not because there’s 200 cal not properly accounted for when I eat a McDonald’s ice cream cone. The problem is usually the dozen donuts or a cake.
McDonald’s ice cream cone is actually not a bad thing for me even if it’s many extra calories because it means I went and I purchased ONE thing to eat and generally it does the trick.
Today turn into a bit of an eating meltdown… I am a wee bit stressed because my eye was hurting today and I have a couple of appointments regarding the boob next week and I had three days of calorie deficit. So it seemed my hamsters just couldn’t handle that all at once.
I’m glad tomorrow is a fresh new day.3 -
One good thing is that tomorrow is another day.
I'm up in the wee hours again cause a certain puppy had to do her business in the middle of the night. I look forward to her growing up to where she can sleep all night.
So I will have some tea and wake up and then see what sort of productive and useful I can be before everyone gets up. I can't just go back to bed at eight today, though; once the DIY store opens I need to go there and get a pry bar to lever some of the stones out of the creek bed so I can secure the mesh under them.3 -
Sorry sleep was interrupted.
Laurie I am a proponent of the one cone theory even if higher or lower than expected. And I can tell you it won't be 200 Cal *extra* even at max.2 -
Thanks, PAV. Hope its not over 200+ but even if it is - that would still be better than some of the other alternatives I tell you having a car is not good for the bingeing. Makes it so much easier to just nip out and pick up bad stuff to eat!!!!!
Today was the 3rd food out of control day after 2 good days last week.
I now have a fridge of good tasting, good for me food ready to begin this week.
Lots of things going on - MRI, eye exam, breast surgeon consult ( again
) lots of excuses/room for potential food disasters. But. Maybe I can rise to the occasion and make it through. 5 good food days would feel so very good. Then I can blow next weekend if I need to 2 -
Hope our Yooly is doing okay??!!!!!1
-
I’m fine. Just feeling uninspired. Food control is okay and I’ve recovered from the visit to the House of Pies in Houston. It took a few days to process three days of restaurant food.
I’m off the antibiotics and tested clear. The cause of pain is still to be determined. I do sympathize with Laurie who is going to have a lot of medical tests/consulting this week. I hope all goes well and you get some answers and solutions. I find I do better with a plan rather than waiting for diagnoses.2 -
Glasdyou are fine, Yooly - and tested clear. I hope the pain hears that soon and leaves? I've discovered the past few years that I can have all the symptoms of a UTI without the UTI - my bladder seems to be reactive to histamines when I'm in hay fever mode (and when using some eyedrops I've discovered this year). That was something I've never heard of, but I'm hearing more of it now (probably because I know of it now???)
I agree - plans ARE good - but it seems that breast cancer is a moving target. There is a diagnoses - then a plan - than discovery of ??? more - than round and round. Just like with the eye I've been trying to adopt an "I submit" or "I reliquish control" motto. There is no control to be had in this journey. Unlike the food journey were I should try to seize control!!!!!3 -
These post warranty issues are down right annoying! 😡
And I think the service departments should perform more thorough and better repair jobs! 😡🤬1 -
Yes!2

So the bladder can react to many different things and cause cystitis without the presence of bacteria. I know this well because I deal with Interstitial Cystitis (also known as painful bladder syndrome). In fact, I have been in a flare the last week or so that just comes and goes. AZO has kept it from driving me too crazy and I have had a lot worse flares.0 -
Actually, Athijade I’m thinking kidney stones. Not boulders 🪨but teeny things that hurt a lot. I had a kidney stone about 15 years ago and this is kind of like that. Who knows? I’ll definitely know if it breaks loose YOW! Anyway I have a follow up in two weeks and probably an MRI thereafter.
So far it’s achy but tolerable
Went to the gym this morning after a two week break. It wasn’t too bad! We went at 5 am and enjoyed the spectacular full moon during the ride.2 -
Saw the Oppenheimer movie yesterday. Three hours and not a slow moment! Best thing I’ve seen in years.
Next week it’s Barbie because - maybe cause it’s hot 🥵 and I feel like spending a couple of hours being stupid. I’ve wasted time on dumber stuff so why not?2 -
so you're saying I should take my boy to that movie?1

Thinking of Laurie today. 💐She’s having a difficult week with lots of doctors. Hope it’s providing some answers and some degree of peace of mind at least.1

Thank you, Yooly 💕
The optometrist appointment yesterday was pretty fantastic. I don’t have glasses yet but the optometrist thinks that perhaps a significant contributor to my poor vision is the shape of my eye/lens has changed and my glasses prescription is way off 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
With bare eye or no glasses … the vision in the eye that experienced the retinal detachment is about 20/400. Looking through the testing device/lenses it seemed like I could - at least some of the time - see somewhere between 20/40 and 20/60.
My mind was blown.
The eye is still healing. Even during that testing process I had to stop every few minutes to close my eye and let it stop looking for a little while. Because it felt like it was trying to do somersaults.
But - I can’t tell you how hopeful I’m feeling!!!
The MRI was an experience, followed by an 8 o’clock this morning phone call saying they need more images … 😳 … I am seeing the surgeon tomorrow morning at 10. He will have received the results so hopefully he can ease my mind. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

So far today no ice cream cones.
But I think that’s about to change.
But in a controlled and reasonable manner 🙂2 -
I wanted to ask!
I did, I did!
Lucky for me, Yooly got in first!
Very glad to hear the good eye news!!!
Do not fear the cone! It is still an "ok" deal, even if not 240 Cal (still wondering how the US ones are supposed to be even fewer Cal; but I digress).
Cone research shows consistency WITHIN specific stores but not BETWEEN stores.
I have been hitting the one near the house and the one near the parental. The one near the house has been making the larger cones and the one near the parental the small ones.
So I figured I would out-fox them! I would go to the one at the mall on the way back home!
I did! And I run into the assistant manager, swing manager AND a second swing manager ALL of who used to work at the store near the house--but during the renovations used their seniority to continue to work at the store near the mall... and then stayed there!
After we exchanged greetings and almost hugs... the cone ended up similar to the ones from the store near dad! And at 147g very close to the 150g mark that I THOUGHT i remembered as the goal weight for a cone.
Of course 150g would still make the cones more than 240 Cal, don't get me wrong, but it would be well under the 300 Cal which has been my mental cone average.
My data points so far (scale positioned every time so that it shows 69g for my car key)
My local McD: 197g, 169g, 183g
Dad's local McD 158, 137g, 144g,
Other McD 147g
Which brings the average when you throw out the top and bottom outliers to 160g and 305 Cal and even if you don't throw anything out, the cones are rolling in at 162g and 309 Cal!
In the interest of science I have no option but to continue to take one for the team in order to accumulate more data points! It's hard work but SOMEONE has to do it, right?

I admire your commitment to science, PAV. (giggle)3
-
WOW!
I wrote a big long clever text… Really I did… But somehow lost it…..😁
But really, WOW, is perfect.
You are a dedicated man, PAV. I thank you.
And Cole Robbie spirals on top of it!!! 😜😆1 -
It helps that they're $1 each till the end of summer! 😎
By comparison the kohlrabi spirals at less than 110 Cal per 400g are definitely an inve$tment. A bag of them and a bag of butternut $quash rottini co$t as much as all the cones put together!!!!🙀
I suspect the machine settings and amount of air may play into things too, possibly?
The research continues! Heat wave expected over the next three days.... hitting highs of 29C or 84.2F 😎 (runs away ducking objects thrown at him from within puddles of melted mfpeops🫣)0 -
Heat wave, seriously Mr.PAV? How about 42 consecutive days at 100+? No rain in two months and no cool down in sight. It was 80F this morning at 5am when I went to the gym! Enjoy that lovely springlike day in Vancouver.
