I've never been through something like that and would like to know how to go about making arrangements, but I don't really know who to talk to about it. How do you take the hurt out of caring? I get very down and discouraged by people's hurt that is bigger than what I can help. Also sometimes when I get upset it's unreasonable and I know it and that makes me more upset, creating a self-perpetuating cycle. Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.
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'll be interested to see what happens tomorrow. Today was potluck for teacher Thanksgiving, and ... I had a full plate. But just ONE plate, soooo... yeah. We'll see.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.31 -

- Dentist appt. at 1:00
- Work from home in the afternoon
- Laundry
- Swiffer/Sweep
- Nap
- Trivia?
- Bed early
Wednesday was actually productive, but not as I'd planned. After going to the dentist, I ran a few errands, got blood work done and then got my Covid and Flu vaccinations. Felt pretty good. Went to trivia, played some pool. Bed by 11:00.
Woke up around 2:30am freezing and shivering. Had a fever and was very nauseous. I did get back to sleep, but woke at 5:30 extremely ill. Called off work. Slept in the bathroom floor until noonish. Generally, even if I'm home sick I log onto my computer and keep up with meetings and email. Not yesterday. I actually missed two very important meetings. My fever broke around 4:00 or 5:00pm and I was able to eat dinner. Back at work today, but extremely tired.
Hubby's work is experiencing issues which puts him on nights over the weekend, so I will be doing a fair amount of cleaning while he's gone in prep for Turkey Day. I really need to clean the walls also, but I don't know that it's going to happen by Tuesday/Wednesday when the cooking begins.
JFT Friday
- Work by 8:00
- Check in with medical
- Employee evaluations
- More meetings
- Home by 5:00
- Nap
- At least dust bedroom
- Dinner - probably left over pizza
- Maybe pool maybe rest

Have been quite productive last night and today. Cleaning in supper mom mode. Walls, curtains, rugs, laundry & dusting. One bathroom down 2 to go but first I’ll finish the bedroom. Only downside is I’ve had 45 minutes of sleep. When I crash I will crash hard. Not sure if it’s a little hypomania or just nervous energy. Tim is working nights and things have been sketchy at work. Sketchy at a chemical company is not a warm fuzzy feeling.1 -

Just for today--
Since it's raining and I can't walk outside, I'll be extra vigilant about what I eat. I'll eat extra low calorie vegetables (asparagus sounds so good) to try to crowd out calories. Since I'll be stuck inside, it'll be a good day to try one of those vegetarian recipes I've dog-eared.
I won't let the dark get me down today!1 -

House is super clean. Boy it feels good. I typically don't take the time to deep clean unless I have the house to myself. Though I don't like when Tim works nights and sleeps all day, the timing worked well for holidays prep. Sierra texted this morning and she is coming in this evening instead of tomorrow, so I'm really glad I got the floors downstairs done. Her allergies are worse now when she comes home because she isn't exposed to our dog all the time. I want her to be comfortable and relax when she is home.
Work is a ghost town this week. There are like 3 people out of 15 in my building.
Tonight I need to work on a craft project for church, and go to the grocery store. We cut out giant gingerbread men from gaylord boxes to use as a station separator at the Christmas Event for the kids.
Now I need to paint them. I love painting. Maybe Sierra will want to help me. She is artsy sometimes.
The stores are crazy right now, so I'm not looking forward to that. It is possible Tim will go without me if I'm painting, but there is an outside chance of rain this evening so craft may be replaced with shopping entirely.

JFT 11/20 M
1) Log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) Walk dog 3.82mi & warned by guy in park not to walk on back woods trails due to deer gun season being open & hunters there, but told him we don't usually go that way (too steep by the creek for my knees), and never during hunting season. Also, dog got petted by random gentle stranger also out for a walk. Happy dog & happy me
3) Rake wind-blown leaves and along fence-line in backyard / rakes & bins in shed for winter / shop at Sam's Club for instant savings about to expire / Sam's order if available only online / wash dishes / remaining plastics & paper in recycle bin (to curb tonight) / read / other?
Had a great weekend in my hometown, for niece's baby shower (her first). Minimal games (her choice) and relatives on both sides of family came together. My first "food day" for 8 days went well; I chose what looked best to me, limited quantities, ignored the rest and drank only one adult beverage (NA was available, but I opted for booze since I rarely imbibe lately), then water. It was a fun party. My daily weigh-in today was same as Sat. a.m. so with party and my Dad's cooking, no gain is a win!
Rest of weekend was at my parents' house. Went to church together which was very nice. Helped Mom figure out her email issue; she had unknowingly sorted by Subject instead of date, and she had no idea. So that made her happy the fix was so easy. Also helped them with some household chores, since they're not able to get up and down stairs so easily anymore. Left for home just as Packers game ended, narrowly avoiding OT. Since the game was in Green Bay (where we live), the closer I got to home, the more opposing traffic was backed up. Thankfully, traffic headed in my direction was nowhere near as bad. Hubby was happy I made it safely and just before dark, dog & Kitty were very happy their mama was home.

Healthy eating basically went out the window today. Huge amounts of stress following a work meeting about benefits changing next year. Looks like I’ll be paying more money for significantly less coverage so that’s cool. Cue the emotional junk food eating because i have no idea how im going to manage my healthcare/pharmacy budget for next year.
I guess I’ll just have to try and do better tomorrow with eating healthier. Last thing I need is an IBS flare on top of everything else.3 -

Did some shopping after work to pick up items that I couldn't order from Kroger. Meant I got home after dark and couldn't start my painting as I needed to do the base coat outside as it's spray paint. Ordered groceries on-line and picked them up which was nice until I realized they forgot to give me all of the paper products. So I went online and got a refund then had to go to the store anyway. Bummer, but there are worse problems in life.
Got blood work this morning and my fingerprints for my YMCA background check. Dropped off some things at Goodwill and did my last minute re-shopping. Pretty productive. Tim is supposed to be taking a half day today so he should be home soon and I'll see what he'd like to do. Otherwise, I'll probably start baking pies. I can do apple and pumpkin today. Boston Cream Pie (which is a cake) tomorrow and chocolate pie while the turkey bakes Thursday morning. There won't be room in the fridge for the choc pie or BCP until the turkey is out of the fridge, but it will go into the brine Wednesday evening. Planning oven and fridge space is crucial to Turkey Day success... Things are still going poorly for Tim at work so I'm really hoping he'll be able to help prep. If not I can manage. Just means the chances of me looking presentable on Thursday are slim.

Recap 11/20 M
1) Log all food / 64+ oz. water Net cals excellent but quite low on water.
2) Walk dog 3.82mi & warned by guy in park not to walk on back woods trails due to deer gun season being open & hunters there. That was nice of him, maybe when he saw doggo wearing her blaze orange vest, he worried we might be doing something dumb. I told him we don't usually go that way (too steep by the creek for my knees), and never during hunting season. Also, dog got petted by random gentle stranger also out for a walk. Happy dog & happy me.
3) Rake wind-blown leaves and along fence-line in backyard / rakes & bins in shed for winter / shop at Sam's Club for instant savings about to expire / Sam's order if available only online / wash dishes / remaining plastics & paper in recycle bin (to curb tonight) / read / other? yep, minor stuff but still TA-DA! A productive day.
JFT 11/21 T
1) Log all food to best of my ability (lunch/drinks with DE at 1919 Kitchen & Tap) / 64+ oz. water
2) Walk dog in afternoon (raining in a.m.)
3) Choir rehearsal 7:30 (remember to take Mountain of Food donations) / drop mail at P.O. / something ta-da?
Leaving shortly for lunch & drinks with my friend D.E. who's a local person I've known the longest since I moved to GB over 40 years ago. We're both retired now, and we still get together a few times a year. She chose a restaurant which I haven't been to in a long time, in the Atrium at Lambeau Field (only 15 minute drive from home). I will make a wise menu choice, imbibe in an adult beverage and enjoy DE's company. Not sure if I'll be able to log food accurately, but I'll try. I did pre-check the menu online, and feel I have some decent choices.
