@quilteryoyo If you like pumpkin you might give it a try. We've made it before and everyone likes it, well... not DD because she won't eat pumpkin. technology My niece of 24 came over and needed help scanning and emailing off a housing application. So, some of these young ones don't have the experience we old ones do. Dh…

@quilteryoyo I don't have any suggestions on foods to freeze up. We typically do soups, chili. Dh is making beans which he plans to freeze also. Sandwich stuff is always a good go-to. Cheese and crackers if you like to snack, add jalapenos, olives, fresh herbs or mushrooms. I am partial to Blakes pot pies. I eat the crust…

@shanaber Already broke a hearing aide? dangit! I hear they are fragile. DH's gma is still using the walmart one we got her, I don't think they are yet letting folks in or out of the homes yet. She said she was going to live to 120, so I guess being back among the hearing has helped her. I am sure running in and out on…

Today is a good soup day with a fire log on. We have frozen chili left and Dh is making cornbread. No fire log though. I could get wood from the woods, but everyone is allergic to it, I just got bear well- bet wood smoke would be horrible for him. Since the hip doc encouraged me to walk a bit, I chased bear last night in…

I ate all my calories then DH wanted burgers, I didn't say no, LOL! The hedges are out of control and the flower bed is embarrassing. I managed the front with the hedge trimmers, just mowed down the grass the best I could with the trimmers. My arm is shakey weak now, ugh so out of shape. I'll resign to the couch and…

Fares are cheap right now. Just give me the dates

@quilteryoyo I hope the "mistakes" were just some nit-pickin' nurse with a bug in her britches. I know COVID poses limitations, but can you visit the newer end and get a feel for the folks there? Every visit I have with Baylor I get a survey, if this hospital doesn't do that I would encourage you to voice your concerns at…

@shanaber @Avidkeo There is the up and down of blood sugar with those simple carbs which trigger the "hunger" for more glucose. So if that loop can be broken, you can control those cravings. In my experience, it is removing any refined product and focusing on fiber. I know there is an extreme view in macros, all this and…

Thanks. It's probably just hormones and time for a good cry. It'll sort out. Dh starts his ADD med today, fingers crossed it helps. I am going to try to train my brain today by thinking of gaining nursing experience with that hip doc next summer, something to look forward to.

@Avidkeo I find the need to snack now and then. Could it be hormonal? Therefore no real control over the urge and best you can do is grab an apple several times a day? I think the calf will come along if you continue to evaluate it every step! Have you been able to gently stretch, massage and do some counter pressure? It…

I guess we'll get there, epically via virtual visits and incorporating an external blood testing unit that connects like a USB for labs. LOL! And the camera will be replaced with an xray/MRI. I thought about phoning today for an appointment, but think I am going to work up to it after the boob squishing tomorrow. ETA yes…

The neurologist? My hip doc suggested I see one with the ongoing muscle jerks. Of course, I can't get google to diagnose me properly. I finally found a graphic of the abdominal tear (core injury).

Food Been extra terrible the last two days. Dh took a day off (today) and yesterday was indigenous peoples' day (holiday for the tribe). Too much fast food. So my weight is up a pound. But finally started a period instead of the flirting with business. Perhaps the pound will leave in a few days. Neurologist I found someone…

I'll try the lime. I think Dh tried to keep it not so spicy for me. We are rural, but I do still worry about those cats, one is an outside cat and won't come in (noodles). They just paved our road (sort of) and I worry about the cars going a bit faster and bear is grey and practically invisible. He is almost always in the…

Menopause I am sleeping hot and sweaty. Pellets again since I have the excessive facial hair under control or ask PCP for help? oh, I should wait until the mammo. I forgot cancers can be fed by estrogen (not that I have cancer, just might wait a bit until I complicate potential treatment). Beary has seasonal allergies I…

I agree that our health care needs to be met differently. If I didn’t have coverage the last 8 years... I’d be in so much worse shape. I saw a woman getting her mail today with foot drop, then the 5-6 in the imaging center, no one looked as if it were a budgeted expense. That poor woman loosing her sight couldn’t see the…

Yay! Doc thinks I'm doing good. The labrum tear isn't what's hurting me. It's a core injury. I've torn the abdominal rectus attachment to the pelvis. I haven't looked it up on the anatomical particulars yet. It should heal on its own. But we can do steroids, prp, and even surgery if needed. He assured me, 70% of these heal…

@shanaber I see the PCP about the 27. Mammo is the 14th. I am waiting for x-rays currently then head to the hip doc at 1pm. Sick I really think I have something despite no fever. I did eat at the cafe in the hospital yesterday, Could be food allergies. I had diarrhea again yesterday. And today..... There's a woman trying…

Dh just came out and said he thinks he's getting sick. His temp is up 0.5-1 degree so I played it back. Oh not enough for a fever, you're fine, it's nothing. LOL! At least I can rule out allergies or CMV since he has it too. Could be the apocalyptic plague. I may suggest DH go get a test, I don't want another so he can do…

I did very little yesterday. Just laid around being sad and depressed wishing for a CVA, PE, or sudden cardiac event to put me out of my heartache. Of course, today I am in a hurry to make up for the lost coursework time. I probably needed a frumpy day anyhow. I am trying to go through the motions hoping this low will…

@quilteryoyo Yes, that is what I suspect it is. I figure I am old enough that I not dismiss having a second look at it. It's just fatter. I have lost some breast fullness on that side, so it is curious that the armpit is still fuller than the other. I just hate that I will give into shaving my monkey- pits for fear of a…

@Avidkeo ooooh! I wanna make a hair appointment now!!!! LOL! I bailed today on an officer's meeting and violin. I noticed last night my temp was up about half of a degree from 97.2 normal to 97.8F. Not alarming, but I have been tracking it twice a day since the first of August as required by the school. Today about 130PM I…

@Avidkeo love the do! My Dh hates it short too, I loves it! It’s an added bit of sophistication I think! @shanaber how can you be 0 for 2 on cats? None of mine tear anything up but have 4 cat trees and shelves on the wall to run. Beary is like having a toddler around. He’s fun and knows he’s the baby. They all play…

@quilteryoyo I don't doubt the possibility of a critter, armadillos will dig holes, and google says they will eat fire ants, so perhaps. Cats. yes you gotta get to know that personality to appreciate it! here's a better view of the area. I bet you are right though, even if it does appear to be the original urn spot.

Up at 430. I woke and tried to go back to sleep, then heard a crash and break in the living room. Seems I left a bowl out on the end table and beary must have decided it needed to go. He's become that cat that just shoves stuff off, more noise the better. Or he was licking it. He's currently happy I am up and is putting…

I think you can. But I am biased, I loved my hair shorter. I keep looking for an excuse to cut it again, it’s a long bob now, but not long enough to pull back in a pony. When are you getting it cut? Haha! I’m living through you! I think it would look great on you!

I should probably expand on that... It will send the police to your location in 10 seconds once activated. You get the creepy crawlies and open this app. It's a simple keep your thumb/finger on the button, once you let go you have 10 seconds to enter your pin otherwise police are dispatched to your location. I think in the…

An app you might be interested in. Noonlight. Info here or in your app store. I think it's a great idea.

@bearly63 I think the premier shakes are fair. The taste is tolerable and I guess you can get a powered one to add to smoothies with veggies. Here’s the one I drink on busy days: Protein Shakes · 30g Protein · 160 Calories · 1g Sugar · 24 Vitamins & Minerals · Low Fat. @RunsOnEspresso if I remember right, drinks the same…
