just back from the vet with Hayami Mochi. The sadness is setting in. She isn't likey to get a good prognosis with the heart murmur. EKG will be done before she gets spayed which will be a baseline. Vet says that cat murmurs are almost always malignant. Life expectancy is 3-4 years. 🥹😔

Maintenance is hard... especially from the couch. I am 5'4" on left or 5'4.5" if I stand on my right leg. I have smaller build. Not one of those with nice legs and a rear (i got stick legs and no butt). I like 120. but, that seem unrealistic from here. ugh.

@shanaber No I did the face paint myself. After the fact, DD weighed in (she was busy at work) and said the colors were good. The lip paint is a bit too pink really, but zoom it was fine to have some additional contrast. Thanks for the support. Tell them to hurry up and "LET ME IN" lil pig! The day of the interview, We had…

Then on to 3 where final decisions are made to make an offer. I am being forwarded on to 3... er, she said so... I have nothing in writing... ruh roh.…

@shanaber Oh no! Terrible! I may have to get the vaccination. I am in denial that I'd develop it. Benadryl makes a topical too. Will that help? or even an oral Benadry? I think we all need to go visit @HonuNui and have some fish and chips and a red beer, after she gives us snorkling lessons. @CMorning99 No issues yet with…

I spent all day yesterday at the BMW dealership. Eric balked at repairs and tires and made me get a new car. I cried. IDK why. I dont know haow many cars we looked at. I swear the dealership just didnt want to sell us any. Every car was "well it wont be back til monday" out on loan or hadnt been through the service center…

Hi all! Look at me, being all normal-ish and logging and being accountable 😏. Rheumatologist put me on lyrica and i have been off of it for 2 days now. It makes me eat worse than prednisone does. I have gained 10-15 pounds on it... eeesh. I moved the scale to where i'll use it. My orthopaedic surgeon retired and I have a…

@shanaber The JH programme is online and requires one visit per semester. The visits are 2-5 days. All of the DNP programmes online have this component. OU is the most practical. It is the cheapest and closest. IDK what eric would say to a 25K/semester education. Not sure I could, but JH seems like it'd be a wonderful…

Hi all. I’m trying to get back to logging food daily. I haven’t logged since losing Alex. I am afraid of the scale. The lunar year is the bunny. I am trying to learn to eat like one, more veggies. I’ve submitted my applications for graduate schools. OU is relatively close and the best choice. I also applied to Johns…

hi all. I'm on a break between semesters. Lots of catching up on missed appointments and house cleaning. Mallory went AWOL back in September-october. I guess a coyote got her. I feel horrible about it. I think I let her out one wednesday and didn't see her again. I hope someone just took her. So I got Beary a "new" lil…

Beautiful non-running photos @Teresa502 ! Love the porch and the porch protectors! I am envious of your yard. It is still green and the hills/mounds. Which state/country are you in?
-
Yes. I was diagnosed with "distraction as a coping mechanism". 😁 With cooler weather upon us, are you looking forward to those brisk runs?
-
end of month question? Share a story, tid-bit, or pic that isn't running related! My monthly question is more of an update. I got new compression socks this week . Like many (once a) runners, I have an overdeveloped interest in stockings, pens, pencils, the proper key chain, the only acceptable drink cup, etc... I bought a…

@shanaber I took Kevin once as a therapy dog... he loved it, BUT scared one who apparently is afraid of dogs. She squealed in class and interrupted class, er Kev did. Then he got tired and wanted to leave, kept being a pest. then half fell asleep and heard people outside the door and BARKED! scared the ***** out of…

Hi all! I've been busy with school, chores, animals, music... hmmm. The psychiatrist I saw a year ago-ish said I used distraction as a coping mechanism. I kinda see that now. Aches and pains The lyrica helps. It's made me so tired, I'm here but just not engaged fully. I think it is suppose to get better though. OMG. My hip…

I dont get notifications with MFP. There is probably a setting, but I already had too many emails. Kevin is wearing himself out with a Buddha Bone, which is a dried rolled cow cheek. this one is PB flavoured. He loves it so much that she he is tired, he won't put it down and I have to save it in his crate, closed and…

I doubt there is talent there. I am just surprised that it actually looks like something haha! @shanaber post the link to the ADHD podcast when you get a chance. Mallory is fine. She was the cutest lil chipmunk kitten for a day.

@shanaber Anytime you add exercise your body will hold water for healing, as an inflammation response. I would'n worry about it. It seems that you can counter it with a bit of sweets, maybe some fruit, or granola etc. I ate ben and Jerrys every day for the last 3... pizza and local tamales, jalapeño cream cheese... so…

Good to see you all too. Thanks for the kind welcome. Here's a snoring Kevin and Brudah Bear with his new buddy Mallory (Tater tot) to undo some of the trauma imposed by sharing the traumatic dipshittery of Southern OK. It is just unbelievable. @Scott6255 well. Guess I'm special like that, sharing the oddness. I got an ASD…

Hi all. It's me Elise. Not running or walking yet. Sorting out SI joint dysfunction. I just saw the DUMBEST FB post from Wynnewood OK., My neighbours to the North less than an hour away. IDK if they'll turn this in to a Netflix original but it is up there with Tiger King. BTW. The locals kinda like Joe. Initially, I…

@shanaber Interesting about dreams. Below is an excerpt from a discussion (for next week), by me. I got a card today from TWU On the outside it says "Congratulations! your'e in! inside below. I thought that was nicer than the form letter. I still need to submit the application to their nursing programme. Just in case. I've…

OMG @RunsOnEspresso yes irrational! But I get it. I use to get scared of toile-hoggs. They lived in your toilet. Not real btw. I am still scared of water, lakes and pools, but love to swim. I got a FB group for you. It is a Spider group. I am assuming that if you can learn to ID them, that you could talk yourself down. DH…

Here is painting that I gave to dd. Also painted in the dark by fire light listening to dh ramble. now to push through this psych summer and get ready for nursing course work!

Spoiler contents Kev sleeping. He's been heavily influenced by the cats. Cori sleeps on me in this position in this spot on the couch. He also mimics Beary's cutesy tootsy pose in the kitchen (on back just looking cute, bear looks like an otter and draws his paws up and gives you those big eyes). One is a painting I did.…

@Avidkeo Here's DH's elbow. The images are all at different appointments, about a month apart. No healing and a screw in nothing (according to doc that fixed it the second time). This is first botched sx. All I can see is the loose bone and screw in nothing. He's sent it all to a lawyer. Elbow vs road at 50mph. How are you…

Hi all. I have been productive this week. No procrastinating, enjoying the course work and getting application materials to schools. Today I might have needed a break. DH pulled me away from work to go to a flea market, 6-8 vendors and I lost all focus and took a nap. We bought homemade chicken and jalapeño tamales. I am…

@quilteryoyo The CT; top is my posterior, bottom abdomen. Looking downwards in a cross-section at the back of my pelvis. The "broken" is a joint where the pelvis meets the spine (sacrum). you can see the needle in the joint... surprised cuz dr handsome's technique isnt as good as Dr cutie pie's haha! I was sweating to be…

@quilteryoyo I know you aren't an Apple user, but... We use the Apple Card and I can generate a new ccv randomly and/or change my card number on the app. Literally just a button and it assigns a new number to my numberless card. The actual card is titanium, chip and mag strip. I got so tired of fraud charges and decided…

Definitely went down the rabbit hole.
