So I'm to be "subjected" to old calendar Christmas 🎄 dinner😳 and I already don't have enough calories left for a normal dinner!😳😱

Trying to come up with a plan!

Well... so far the weather has cooperated brilliantly in coming up with "some sort of" plan!

And someone's tail was up too! AND I managed to triangulate and locate her tile that has been missing for exactly one week less a few hours!

Just a single pic on a one day link: https://icedrive.net/s/vZ5F3uVNbjkYfkk1V3BvXW19T4AV

How nice the sun was through the trees can't be seen. But have managed to squirrel away about 1500 Cal for the rest of the day before running into negative weight loss issues So should let me have at least a cabbage roll or three!

Saw the cardiologist yesterday. Checked under the hood - I’m good for another 10000 miles. I was complimented for doing everything I possibly can right. Check off ✅ another plus for losing weight.

My brace is off and wrist is feeling pretty good 👍. However now I have a cold! Took a covid test - negative. A miserable cold….just when I was starting to get back into a rhythm at the gym.

Hope I get over it fast. I’ve got things to do and places to go!

Hey get well asap ms Yooly! Colds and multiple COVID tests over several days should NOT be part of your reality especially after the ata girl from the doc! Hopefully you're feeling better already! 😳

Had a doctor's appointment today for this cough that I have had for 6 weeks. We did do some tests just to rule out infection still, but she believes it is a post viral reactive airway cough. So she has sent in some steroids and an inhaler for me. Hopefully something will help because I am so over this.

Hope it clears up soon 'jade!

Good job Yooly! Here's your chance for soup city!

Sleepy Puppy here

Home. My own bed - and puppy number two here for a few days soothes the sting of leaving The Boy behind a little bit. Hope everyone is good soon! Drive safe, PAV. Night Night all.

Snowy puppy today... Chicago is supposed to be in for a lot of snow. Started before i got up this morning and it is supposed to keep going until tomorrow morning some time. I have to walk to the pharmacy to get my meds too which will be a mess.

Hope you got the meds before the blizzard hit in Chicago Athijade! It’s going to get mighty cold down here too. No snow but possibly freezing rain. Temps in the low 30s and teens at night. It won’t last long but enough to worry about frozen pipes because there are no basements here.

Welcome back home Laurie.

Stay warm everyone!

So almost ended up in the ER this afternoon/evening. Seems my body reacts to Prednisone quite highly. I started having a high heart rate (120+ bmp, my normal is like 85 to 90) and it was pounding. Luckily I was able to get an online urgent care appointment, but they pretty much just said it was likely the meds but I should think about going in to get checked out.

I didn't go.

But within like 30 mins the pounding stopped and within 2 hours my heartrate started to drop. It is now about 100 bpm which is the upper end of "normal".

Gonna stop the Prednisone. Luckily only had one dose so that shouldn't be a problem. Will reach out to my doctor Tuesday (holiday on Monday) to let her know. I will keep taking the inhaled steroid so fingers crossed that will help.

🤞'jade

And of course all issues pop up at the beginning of long weekends!

Typical!😡

Digging through my closet for “winter” clothes! They get used so infrequently that I shove them in the back. But for the next few days it’s time to layer up. There’s a puffer coat somewhere…….

The puffer coat fits. But I recall it being a teeny bit looser before. So time to get serious 🧐

It’s cold and lonesome here lately 😩. Where did everyone go? Happy that Athijade is safe and warm. And keeping me company!
