@pridesabtch love your Halloween costume! Cute! Hope your doctor visit went well. I know it sucks going through everything with a new provider, but being a 10-year breast cancer survivor, myself, please don’t blow off mammograms! 💞
@Bex953172 My poor friend,Bex! That does sound like a stressful weekend! I binged on McDonalds today and my stomach still feels nauseous. What do you usually get from there? I am a huge fan of their French fries! Lol. Hope things settled down for you a bit now!
@cschmitz110515 I agree with you regarding the Packer games! Good Golly! It’s like the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing! 🤦🏻♀️ and what a small world that your brother worked in Plainfield!! Lol! It sounds like you’re enjoying retired life! Holy busy! You look great in your photo! And your house is pretty and huge! It makes ours look like a “she shed” in comparison.
😂. Thought you might like this meme I saw today…
I’m on Day 5 of no Effexor. I’ve been tapering off this med since early summer. I’ve been on it since chemotherapy for depressed and anxiety. The side effects of stopping it are really difficult physically and mentally.. I have been eating comfort food a lot this past 3 or 4 weeks. I would’ve never expected actual withdrawal effects, and had I known how my body would react trying to get off it, I’d have never started it. Im hoping to start feeling myself again soon…can’t go on forever, right?
So, since I’m an emotional eater, I’ve gained probably 7 lbs over the past 3 or 4 weeks. Not cool. But I think I need to just take care of myself the best I can right now and eat salads later! 😁
Hope everyone had a great day! I’ll hop on with goals tomorrow!!

Got a lot done today at work. Didn’t do very well with healthy eating. Way too much salt and way too little water. Feeling really off balance tonight, almost like my blood sugar is low or something.
Hopefully I feel better in the morning so I can get through this one last meeting. I thought I could be remote for it, but I got a call at 6:30pm tonight that I need to be there in person to address any questions that come up. Cue the sky-rocketing nerves…
Also have an appointment with my nutritionist tomorrow, and I’m kind of dreading it because I don’t think I’ve made much progress since the last time we met. Hopefully things won’t be as bad as I think. Anxiety sure is exhausting sometimes.

@emgracewrites Good luck with your meeting and appointment today! Deep breaths….. ❣️0

Yesterday was pretty good despite having to go to the doctor. I ended up not getting my blood drawn yesterday even though I had fasted. Go figure. When I got home, hubby and I went lamp shopping (one of ours died and they are nearly 20 years old so they were due for replacement). After shopping we went to play trivia. Didn't win, but had fun! Totally didn't want to crawl out of bed this morning, but ended up only being 10 minutes late for work, so no big deal I'll stay and extra 10 and call it good.
I've had meetings all morning, actually forgot about the staff meeting. They moved it from afternoon to morning and I just plain ole forgot to enter my updates. Up note at my 3rd meeting of the day I got an unexpected $800 bonus for doing a good job on a project. After taxes, it's less, but still nice to be recognized and extra cash around the holidays is nice.
No real plans this evening other than sneaking over to my SIL to give her some $$ where she bought something for me so Tim wouldn't see it. I got him tickets to one of the March Madness basketball games as a Christmas/Birthday Gift. It cost about $600 for 2 tickets and if I put that on a credit card he would have noticed, so I had her buy them and I'm paying her back a couple hundred a week so he doesn't really notice. Then going over to mom's to sort bills and such. Hoping hubby doesn't want to go out this evening, but not sure what he has planned. We often do trivia at a favorite local joint on Thursdays, but we did trivia last night at a different place so maybe not.
Oh I gotta buy tickets to The Sound of Music, my daughter is in it and I haven't purchased tickets yet...

Even though I hadn't wanted to go out last night, hubby kind of did. We went to our favorite Thursday evening haunt for trivia. There was a friend of ours there, it was nice to actually have another person to talk to. Plus we won, so that's always nice. It came down to a tie breaker, but I answered faster than the other guy so our team won. Yay me. Then when we got home, Tim put on a movie and I stayed up way too late and ate popcorn. I haven't had popcorn in ages, yummo! I think tonight hubby and I are going to go see a play at the Middle School. We are kind of desperate for things to do, but the Middle School usually does a nice job with their productions.
Really feeling the dreary day today deep in my soul. I just want to go home and snuggle with my puppy. I will likely leave early today, but I gotta get my 11:30 meeting in first. Then it looks like a half day for me unless something comes up. Regardless I need to leave by 3:00 so hubby can get to PT. His car is in the shop getting repaired from his latest encounter with a deer.

Starting to get back on track tomorrow! I've been so awful the past 6 months .. helping hubby with closing down our business, and just, well, being lazy. After working for so many years, it is nice to slow down. But that also means I'm not on my computer nearly as much.. even though I still waste too much time on social media, etc. But I've haven't gotten on this site as much .. and I need to make this a priority, espcecially in logging my food.
I know my weight is up . I can tell in my jeans. So tomorrow is saturday, and going to make a commitment on here to start tracking my food, and being more accountable! (Ha.. I know you've heard that so many times from me!).
Problem is I get busy with sewing, etc that I just don't take the time. And then that leads to just putting anything in my mouth! Last week, we hauled close to 2000 pounds of aluminum to the recycling place! And made 6 trips to goodwill. Most of this is business stuff we are getting rid of, and its painful to only get $.30 a pound, when we paid so much for these things ... but its time to slow down. Hubby will find out next week if his prostate cancer is back .. so he is wanting to do as much as we can before that, and before the weather change.
but ... I am going to try and get back on here more often!!
So, starting tomorrow I will record my weight ... and start again! But I've missed you all .. and just wanted to pop on here tonite to say hi, and hope you are all doing well!3 -
