Thanks all. DD was admitted, we don't know how long she'll be staying yet. Her dad may have to retrieve her since I have surgery soon. We just got back from Dallas, picking up her newer car... I have reservations. It looks nice on the outside but ugh, the light interior and accumulation of grime in places... ugh. I plan on…

@shanaber How are you doing? Planning some stellar runs or an amazing trip to Hawaii yet? I haven't eaten yet today and it's 1800. Long day. Funeral director then monument guy, then doc with DD, now waiting at mental health facility 2.5 hours from home- I am hoping they take her. Her doc said she needed to go so if he…

I have lost track of my goals. I may be able to revisit them tomorrow, hoping today is back on track (somewhat). DD has an emergency work in with the doc. I don't know if its depression/grief/suicidal ideations, but she asked if she can go to a mental health facility after her doc appointment. Least she's asking for help.…

DH thought DD could use the pick me up and told her about the car. It didn't go over well. She was having a grief filled moment. Then this evening she phones me from the cemetery and wants to know where Alex is... Why is there not a monument with cremains there, she sobs that he's with strangers at the funeral home. And I…

Dang! That's sure better than, "mom those jeans make you look like you have a butt". Me: I've gained 13 pounds. 😩

Ugh sorry for all the typos. I'm blaming the shoulder trying to navigate the laptop. DH bought DD a newer car. I think we'll try to surprise her by telling her we have to go to Dallas to pick up her car, and the carvana kiosk will be there and it'll be like car roulette, which one is hers... Although she may not wanna…

@shanaber It is her big toe. I talked her into going just so she can wear a rx shoe. She said it helps so much. I love the otters! I try not to worry about upcoming procedure. As if that possible. I usually find the morning of surgeries to be a bit short tempered and border on wanting to be combative. So if that creeps up…

I think I've created a spoiled monster. Bear knocks at the door and just lays there when I open it, "come out". Nah bro, it's too dang hot...close door. keeps knocking; I throw beans and brisket out for him. Keeps knocking; I throw canned cat food down on a plate... Maybe he thinks this is drive-thru/ delivery? Anyway, I…

@shanaber Two more days til the PM. Are you excited, nervous, or just not thinking about it? A pick me up Today's MFP add is darn cute from Chewy.com; a rabbit on a leash , high quality canned pet foods, a wiener dog climbing up tiny stairs to get to his peoples bed, and a pet bassinet looking thing. Adds should be geared…

@Avidkeo Sorry to hear you are struggling with binge eating. I don't have any experience and could merely hazard a guess as how to manage. I'd visit more with professionals, maybe some blood work to rule out organic causes. Absolutely lean on us here. The only experience I can share was when I was on the steroids with that…

@quilteryoyo I think pot is legal in texas. We are in oklahoma and the medicinal stuff is here too. I think too many young people use it to cope and are doing themselves a disservice in learning coping skills, especially my DD who struggles with anxiety and depression. I worry about long term coping abilities. Congrats on…

DD is coming home tomorrow. I think she went to Dallas to visit the "Not a boyfriend, mom. Just friends". And was thinking about going back to California with him, but she tells me very little and with Alex trauma, I am trying to respect boundaries. Anyway, I am sure it was good for her to get out of town and do what ever…

Loss of Alex and hes a recovering addict. Be a horrible example of coping if I brought alcohol into the house. He's going to confession and mass today, hopefully any desire for a drink is that of communion.

1. nope. still guessed at portions 2. yes I weighed. still rising. I'll be up another 1-2 pounds this month 3. not really healthier choices, The scale being up offered no motivation. I had a cheese sandwich with pepperoni, then binged on triscuits and swiss, then some chocolate 78% 4. Walked with dh, he wasnt keen on…

@RunsOnEspresso , How did yesterday go for you? for me, 1. Didn't weigh a thing 2. no scale 3. ate an avocado and almond butter/ jelly sandwiches (sort of better) 4. cleaned dd's room since she left and may never be back. 5. no drinking, but I sure thought about it. Offered support to a fellow mfp poster regarding EtOH…

My son killed himself 12 days ago. I’m convinced that if he could have gotten control of his drinking he could have addressed his mental illness, bipolar and depression. I know, no one thinks that’s where alcohol (drugs) will lead them, just self medicating, (I’m not that bad right?), it’s always something someone else…

you can. Saw it on an episode of Better Call Saul :p But I think the real deal is that its not ideal or recommended.

@bearly63 LOL! yup a pair of thyroids. I kept poo in the fridge when doc/lab wanted dd's sample for analysis, before deciding it was up for gallbladder testing. ew... Urine is sterile though, your outer bits aren't, so it's not really that gross. Ya keep dead animal parts in the fridge, then put them in your mouth. EW that…

@rheddmobile I hate hearing that you have to give up a prime running spot. Would it be possible to consider putting a mask around your neck and pulling it up within 15feet of others and eyeball them suspiciously as they pass? There's no such mask wearing here, least that I know of, unless the clinics insist upon it. But I…

@RunsOnEspresso Sounds like a start. I need to quit guessing about calories and actually weigh and pay attention to real portion sizes. 1. Weigh foods 2. Weigh and record weight daily, even if it's horrible 3. Healthier choices 4. Exercise as possible/practical 5. start drinking once a week... LOL! Just teasing. 6. Be more…

@RunsOnEspresso I need to lose 10-13 pounds. You wanna make a plan together? I am not sure what that would look like, but we can try anything. food eh, Still trying to cut back on everything. I think I should seriously get back to meal planning. Just coffee so far. I'd like to get out for a walk today, but DH said I'm…

I may have the code to his phone now from an ex girlfriend. I don't care about the phone anymore. It's not important. Ya he'd only been with this girl for a month or so but she was a teachers aid in high school and they hung out then and off and on since.

aww cute little baby bones!!!!

I sent an email to the docs office regarding the scheduled delivery and told them it wasn't warranted. Part of me wanted to be hurt over the thought of birth and death, but, eh I got other stuff to be mad about. I did the online pre-registration and it kept trying to default to labor/delivery so it could be my doing, or…

@bearly63 I'm not sure if it's related, but there is a gland behind the thyroid, the parathyroid, that is responsible for regulating blood calcium.

I gotta do something about my weight. Or buy new clothes. My surgery is scheduled with the hospital. I don't know if my online pre-registration goofed something up or what. But I'm scheduled for surgery and a delivery. Be nice if I could instantly birth 6-8 pounds from my body. I may call and straighten it out later. For…

The funding was put up by an acquaintance of hers, that may or may not be a legit person. The rational is for bereavement, financial support because of a covid exposure she can't work (why you come to funeral and visitation then). Honestly, from what I know, she doesn't even have custody of her kid(s). I managed an hour of…

I'm sure crickets are lovely, but I think I'd rather have one of @PastorVincent 's hot dogs with catsup. Fist bump for bravery and willingness to lead us into the future @AlphaHowls and @Camaramandy648 ! ETA I had to google it. Hilarious. Wish my kids were little! They had a math game when they were 5-6-7 where they…

Crazy I have violin today. I am mostly looking forward to it. The shoulder is still poopoo though. Food Ate flautas with cheese sauce. @quilteryoyo 62F sounds amazing! It's so hot here our ac can't keep up in the afternoon, even set at 70. Lots of baby tree watering here!

@bearly63 The La Mer is pricey, but I have zero regrets, even if I have to buy DD some regularly now. @shanaber Nice to finally have the PM scheduled. I am eager to hear how much better you feel with it. @ddmom0811 Tell your DH to quit with this afib stuff, it's too scary. Okay, for real- glad all is being managed.
