    Not feeling the best today. We went out to dinner last night. After not eating all day, I had a large dinner and it just didn't settle well. I went to bed early and slept well, but I still feel icky. Part of me wanted to call in sick or take a vacation day, but there were things I needed to get done this morning at work. Now that most of that is done, I'm struggling to want to be here. It is also my 25th wedding anniversary today. I need to go for a bike ride today and I need to go out to dinner or at least have dinner in with the hubby. He said he might ride with me, but he really doesn't want to. After he hurt his shoulder in the bike wreck, he's been very shy about riding. There is a club ride tonight if it doesn't rain, but as I found out last week, I'm in no shape for that. Doesn't mean I won't go, just means I'll struggle to keep up. If I go home early, I can ride solo earlier in the day and spend time with hubby this evening. That probably is the easiest way to get everything lined out, but I hate asking to take vacation last minute.

    Ok, I asked for the 1/2 day off, and I see no reason it would be denied.

I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary. How are you supposed to feel about students who come once every ten days, presumably so their families don’t lose state benefits?

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

    WFTY: Priorities. Today's post apparently didn't actually post! Bummer, but honestly, I didn't even get it written until almost lunchtime!
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    Got everything in but the ride. I took a half day so I could ride, but then it rained so I took a nap. Because I left work early, hubby had to meet the flower delivery guy on his route and get the flowers he was having sent to work. LOL, I hate getting flowers at work, and he likes to embarrass me. I guess I showed him. JK it was really sweet and they were beautiful. He also got me a collection of 2 person games (Scrabble, cribbage & History Trivia) so we could have something to do on nights when we just wanted to stay in. We went out to a local Cajun restaurant. Hadn't been there before, but it was really good. Then we went to a pool hall for a couple of hours and shot. That is definitely more my thing than his, but he was a good sport.

    I'm still not feeling great today, so I think I'll skip trivia unless I perk up later.

    Nothing has gone to plan this week, in terms of healthy eating or really anything else. Trying to turn that around today, but I just feel completely overwhelmed and like I have no control over anything.

At 194, purple All-Stars. 189, 1pr black 1pr white leggings. 179, 2 Svaha Rachel dresses. 169 suit - Indochino? 159 swing dance lessons. Talk to PCP about feet (cannot do calf raises, pushups, planks, mountain climbers, etc.) Also back and shoulder pain. Why can’t I sleep better? Therapy Wed Jun 21 3P. Dentist April 19 11a. Biometric Th Aug 24 9AM. Annual exam Oct 11 9A check calendar; ask about migraines? Massage Aug 19 6P. Need to RS colonoscopy and check on ADHD testing.

    13. Therapy thoughts: Prioritizing is hard. There is so much that feels important. I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary. How are you supposed to feel about students who come once every ten days, presumably so their families don’t lose state benefits?

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

    WFTY: Priorities. I am SO tired. This week is incredibly full.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    Happy Friday y'all! Hope things are going well. I'm a bit out of sorts, but unsure why. Just struggling with energy levels even though my eating and sleeping have been good. I have missed my meds a few times this week, but that usually only effects me a single day not all week. Missed my workouts last weekend and early this week. Got back on track yesterday, but the quality of the workout was not good. I struggled just to complete the time, didn't even come close to the HR or pace goals. Today's schedule is bike intervals. Hopefully I can put some effort in and feel good about this workout. The weather should be optimal for the ride. Sunny mid to high 70's.

    Going home at lunch to check on the pooch, he's not been feeling well and started having seizures a few weeks ago. Now the meds he is on make him pee all the time. We've had to start kenneling him when we are gone to contain the mess. We do both work close to home so most days one of us will be able to let him out at lunch. With any luck that will take care of the messes.

    In addition to the doggo, found out this morning that my mother-in-law has an aggressive type of liver cancer which has spread to her lymphatic system. She won't find out until next Wednesday when she goes to the doctor, but my sister-in-law gets her MyChart messages and read the diagnosis. We'd rather the news come from the doctor, so if there are questions she can get answers directly from her. All in all a lousy week.

    JFT Friday
    - Work by 8:00 :(
    - Meetings :smiley:
    - Return FWS perishable box :smiley:
    - Check in with MFP :smiley:
    - Refill candy dish :smiley:
    - Home by 12:00
    - Lunch at home
    - Doggo time
    - Work from home
    - Ride
    - Shower
    - Shoot pool?
    - Bed early

    A little change - My husband asks if dinner can be a little earlier tonight so we can get a walk. So I'll have dinner around 4 to 4:30 pm today.
