Good day on Tuesday
For Tuesday:
-I'm grateful for my bride on many fronts. Today it's that we get along. I've always worked in an office and traveled heavily but for the past 10 months I've been home almost every day. We still enjoy each other's company. While there are times or days we get on each other's nerves it's a small percent.
-1950 calories: 1717, light but didn't deprive myself
-Work out for 90 minutes: 92 minutes including a difficult 53 minute, 2.28 mile treadmill walk
-Eat between 8 and 6: Done
-Eat dinner at the table: Done
-Invest 15 minutes in professional development: Nope
-Invest 15 minutes in personal development: Done with YouTube videos during work out
-Invest 30 minutes on home duties: Short but kept up with my stuff
For Wednesday:
-I'm grateful for the many experiences in my life. Yesterday I received a rogue message from a team member from my prior organization. Reminded me of a dinner we shared at one of my favorite restaurants. It was October with a chill in the air and we spent the evening in front of a roaring fire at the Gold Hill Inn in Colorado. Great food, drinks and company.

Yesterday was rough. I went to see my psychiatrist chick and found out that the insurance my company switched to is not accepted by her. I paid out of pocket for yesterday, but need to look into finding a new doc. This may sound minor, but my issues and medication are fairly complex. It has taken 7 years and 5 doctors to finally find someone who has me level. I’m on a cocktail of 6-8 meds that occasionally need tweaked. Maybe TMI...
I freaked out at the thought of starting over with a different doc. It is very emotionally taxing to relive moments that need explained. When I left the office I just sat in the parking lot and cried, then I went and bought a bunch of junk food. I was a bit of a mess. I talked to hubby and we are going to stay with her and just pay for it. I feel bad about the money, but am relieved I don’t have to start over. Pretty silly I guess.
Anyway, things seem better today. So I’ll try some goals.
JFT Wednesday

Recap 1/26 T
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors)
13/14 & 10.3k
2) Treadmill after work Planned to after got veg soup put together & on stove, then sat to go thru pile of mail, and Kitty crawled into my lap purring and snuggled in. The end.
3) Net cals zero / 14c water
Near -200 then finished up mixed nuts & dark chocolate (my FAV) left over from Christmas. Oops. Tasted so good. At least none in house now. 15c water
4) Work in office: AJNH / clear some emails backlog = 2/2 making good progress
5) Prep lunch, snacks, water bottle & overnight oats / prep bday cards to mail / finish grocery list / paperwork for eye surgery consult / paperwork for tax preparer / meditation app / declutter 15 min. instead made veg soup, boiled eggs & called mom & dad
= 6/7
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / work in office alarm instead workout alarm! = 3/5
JFT 1/27 W
1) Treadmill before work
3.12 mi & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors)
3) Net cals zero / 14c water
4) Work in conference room: call Help Desk & get Chrome added to old desktop / AJNH / PRO s/s comments / print SS EE sheet / keep up w/ emails / pack for work at home days / sanitize room end of day
5) On way home: grocery shop / mail bday cards
6) Reschedule hair appt. / email tax preparer / declutter 15 min. / get out hubby's gifts/cards / leave hubby note wishing him happy bday when he gets home after midnight / meditation app / one other chore?
7) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / 6:45 alarm (x-train before work)
2021 Goals:1) Weight 150#Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year!
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and continuing to log / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up2 -
Happy Hump Day! It's late but I need to log in so I stay accountable. I woke up this morning at 0430 with a terrible migraine and have been down and out all day. I'm going to try to get a small nap in, or at least lie in the dark for a bit and hopefully that will help.
@cschmitz110515 I'm so sorry to hear about your BIL. So much sadness over the past year. My husband is 6 years older than I am, so I understand wanting to retire early to be able to spend some retirement years together. We never know what is around the corner. (((HUGS))) to you, and prayers for your SIL.
@pridesabtch That is not a small silly thing! That's an incredibly stress thing to go through when you have to find a different provider of ANY kind, but especially a primary doctor or psychiatrist. I'm glad you are able to pay out of pocket to keep the same one. I believe our health, both physical and mental, is the most important thing to take care of! Nothing else matters if we don't have those. (((HUGS)))

4. Planning: Notes for Dispossessed. Stretch. Grade late work. MEETING.
5. Lunch: Yogurt mix. Buy Hood Feminism and New Jim Crow?

7. Evening: S&F 4. Dinner: Calamari? Breathe. Set 2 of lifts.
8. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water! Chop celery and pack lunch. Set out clothes for tomorrow. Set up JFT for tomorrow.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
Today: 190.2
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals.
6. Medical: Dentist call to schedule cleaning – March? ObG schedule for April. Schedule PCP for May.
7. Theater: Little Princess.
8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story. Open Wordpress in Safari.
13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 15 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks, horse stance for 5 breaths.
14. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?
WFTY: Persistence. Short run today.Reminder: Last year's WFTY was progress, and I am ... actually, I was going to say content, but it's more than that. I'm proud of myself, and I'm pleased with the progress that I made. Even without the challenges throughout the year, I accomplished things that I should be proud of; and given those challenges, I'm even happier about what I was able to do.2 -

I hurt today. I had to hurry out to my mother's early this morning, and I wasn't dressed. So getting dressed in a hurry has me in pain, instead of taking it slowly. Yesterday it was carrying her groceries that had me in pain. I would never say anything to her because it would upset her, but caring for her is bad for my pain levels!
Word for 2021 Strength

Im sorry to hear that. My partner is like that with doctors. When he finds one he likes he really doesn't like changing it.
So are you insured through the company you work for? And they've switched? Could you buy your own insurance over there that would accept her? Or would that be more expensive than paying her?
I don't know how it works over there so forgive me if my questions are stupid lol.
Hope you're okay

You might still be able to at least get some of the money back by submitting it to your insurance company. The woman my daughter goes to doesn’t take insurance at all. But I go to the UMR website and it has a quick claim link, print it, fill it out, scan it as pdf and send it
May not be a option and not as easy as a co-pay but better than eating the cost

Yesterday wasn't a bad day, the small med change the doc made really seems to have helped my energy levels. Of course, it's only been a day so it could just be a placebo effect. Either way I feel better in the moment.
@Bex953172 Separate insurance would not be economical in this situation. Insurance is crazy expensive here.
@teigansdad thanks for the info. I will check that out!

The injection I got in my left knee on Tuesday seems to be helping, so today I am SO grateful for that! Now if we can get the Eulexxa injections preauthorized for my right knee, I'm hoping it will help too and I can do more without hurting. I really don't want a knee replacement so will try anything I can first. Cautiously optimistic...
Running to quilt fabric shop with my mom today and might go grocery shopping with her afterward. I haven't been spending as much time with her as I should and I know it hurts her and I'm going to try to be better about that. We just have this habit of snapping at each other so much that I tend to back off for a week between visits and I need to be more patient.

@pridesabtch - There is so much talk about mental health and how important it is and then they make it unattainable financially.
Here in Canada it is Bell Let's Talk Day, Bell is one of our Cell Phone companies. Every text today earns 5 cents towards mental health. I wish they would just put that towards free care for people that don't have insurance to cover it.
I am glad you have the financial means to be able to pay out of pocket.
@PackerFanInGB - I hope you have a good day with your Mom.
I have had a lot going on that is taking up my time emotionally. I need to get back to visiting here properly.
