The official nightshift thread....

Hi all

So I sent home the Parvo puppy with specific instructions on what to feed and how often. It's on it's way back because they let it eat the other dog's food and now it's vomiting. RRRRGGGGGGG!!!

Kind of the same subject.

Bad parents=grrrr!

It's been storming here, which is kind of cool to watch from my car.

I have a friend in Arkansas and she said it's storming there too.
She's just south of Missouri, not sure what town/city though.

30ish mins to go. I'm hungry, can barely keep my eyes open, and some guy with whom I've only had contact on FB messenger seema convinced that he's in love with me, and doesn't understand why I don't believe him.

OMG, @jennifer_417 block this stalker! My SIL is going through this right now (my brother's widow) except the guy is in person too f2f. Scary! I was stalked 25 years ago. RCMP had to bug my phone - he ended up in jail for something else. They let me know where he was and I haven't had a prob since.
1 hr and 15 min left..... I need to drink more of my water to meet my March Challenge. I did make my goal of not eating after midnight (finished at 11:30).

@BodyByBex Good to hear that your recovery is going well and that you can start working out again, that's always awesome! I was sorry to read that Moose had to be put to sleep.

Some people should not be allowed to own pets (or get pregnant & have children.... but that's a whole other subject, lol.)

I can't begin to tell you how many times I've had this exact thought lol

My trip to Ohio went smoothly up and back. When I arrived Wednesday, my mom was still in an ER room; she ended up spending 36 hours down in the ER before a room opened up upstairs. Her fever had broken so they were getting antibiotics and fluid in her and watching for fever, as well as making sure the rash didn't spread. I spent time with her there as well as at her house, taking care of the doggies. The infectious disease dr's wanted medication and internal medicine wanted to do surgery (they want to remove a bunch of scar tissue from a previous surgery bc that's where the infection seems to live). Her regular dr wanted surgery too seeing as this is visit #3 in 30 days.

They end up releasing her Saturday afternoon. We're all a bit confused as to why but okay. My mom contacts her regular dr and leaves a message with his answering service. Fast forward to Monday morning; I'm driving home and get a call. My mom's regular dr had called her and said she needed to be seen at noon.

Apparently my mom was d@mn near septic and no one told us. NO ONE cared to mention this to me, my brother's, or her for that matter. WTF!?!?!?!?

Make sense as to why they didn't do surgery; she would've died. They didn't call her dr and consult him in anyway. He read this in the notes they sent over after she was discharged. SERIOUSLY

So the plan is to keep her on meds for 4 months and let her body rest and recovery. Hopefully she'll be able to fight off the infection, and then surgery to clear everything out. She's lost a bunch of weight so she'll get a tummy tuck too.

Hey all. Just checking in... Not a whole lot of change here.

@JZygmunt72 I have been working nights since I started my weight loss journey. I will share my typical eating practice. I wake at 3pm and on my way to work, I have a protein bar (lunch). I eat dinner between 9-10, having a snack of a banana or an apple if I get hungry before dinner (sometimes I have almonds). I do drink coffee from about 6p-midnight, which I think helps also with hunger. Dinner usually consists of brown rice alone, or chicken and brown rice. I smoke a lot of stuff also, so I will also measure out 8oz of pulled pork and I usually use the 90 second rice packets for convenience. If I get a sweet tooth, I may have a 90 cal fiber one brownie, or an 80 cal pouch of fruit snacks. I work out around 1am and afterwords have a protein shake made with cashew milk (breakfast). Everything that I ate after midnight I logged on a new day. If it is a lifting day, I will eat Greek yogurt before I go to bed. Like @canadjineh I do not log in my diary daily, and I am a little more liberal with my calories since I am in maintenance, but it still looks pretty similar to this. Hope this helps you or anyone else that reads this.

@bethanie0825 - saying a prayer for your mama!

Yeah, you can't really treat adults like children even if they are acting like one, lol.
Keep us filled in on how your mom gets along, Bethanie. Parental health issues are so stressful.

@LittleMissAlx - glad you're healing up-welcome back!

Wow, feel like I've missed a lot, reading back!
Had shoulder surgery and got signed off for a month, which all went really well and the time off was lovely.... now back at work and struggling to remember how to vet/nightshift. So tired.

This was me after vacay/surgery. Glad you're healing up @LittleMissAlx .

@bethanie0825 Would have been nice if SOMEONE had informed you of how serious your mother's condition actually was. I hope she manages to get all of the rest she needs and makes a swift(and permanent) recovery. Also, I was all :laugh: at the tummy tuck being thrown in there. I know she has no idea who I am, but congratulate her on the weight loss for me!

@jennifer_417 I'm glad you blocked the creeper. As you are a young, attractive, and intelligent woman, it will likely happen again. Be prepared.



I feel the Wells Fargo interview went well but I wont know for 1-2 weeks as they move on to background checks on all the applicants that they like. So, we'll see how it goes. There are 2 positions open and 40-something applicants that they interviewed total.

I'm definitely applying for other opportunities because I can't stand putting all my eggs in one basket. Unless I'm in the hen house gathering eggs, then I prefer to only use one basket.

Yeah! The FTP test is done! Increased my power threshold from 218 to 238.

@BodyByBex - With everything Wells Fargo is going through right now, I'm surprised they dont' have more jobs available. Seems like they are canning a lot of people for filling out fraudulent credit aplications.

Well, I want to work in Bastrop, not Austin, so that makes a difference. Unfortunately, their tuition reimbursement is only for degrees in business and finance(stuff that bankers do) but I will make scholarships a priority after a couple of semesters.
Now that I have a degree goal in mind, I am pushing forward and things are going relatively smooth.
