@ddmom0811 I think all dogs eat barf. Coprophagia (eating poo) is common too, especially if they are ill. We had one dog that did it as a puppy, he had parvo and was a puppy mill dog. Shame on me, I had no idea puppy mills were a thing when I go him. The dogs I have now will eat cat, horse, cow dung... but I think that is…

I think the bigfoot thing is so dumb but it gets him out of the house. He's happy. They made some documentary last night, one guy is deep in the bigfoot stuff, I can't remember his name but he's all over the internet with it. I guess if he enjoys it, there's no harm. I don't like this whole grief thing. I'm strugglin'.…

Beary is a pig. He takes the old cat's food all the time. This morning, after being outside all night with no food (other than frogs and bugs), he overate and barfed it. It was funny, as soon as it came up he sprung backward (EW!) as if that has ner happened before. It was humorous. But now I gotta clean up barfs.…

11am eastern.

My weight has trended downwards all of August since being on the antidepressant. I'll take it; a 2.7 pound loss according to my trend weight. I am 2 pounds from the "do something!" weight. When you lose weight does it cause a bit of weariness in eating? Guess that's my motivation to "do better"; and we are out of pot pies…

School is crazy for everyone. Everyone is trying to figure out this new normal and still get everything done. It is mad. I feel for the staff and teachers. I ate brownies today, and had tea. oh and a protein shake on the way to afternoon lab. Beary has made himself home under my legs, under a blanket on the couch,…

@rheddmobile any chance on finding a handyman? Sorry about the dishwasher. 1982? Well it sure hung in there! Pick up some bandaids and toilet scrubbing gloves so that Dh can help, or buy throw away stuff until all is sorted. I think, like @shanaber mentioned in the running thread, he had a few health issues. I do also…

Wow! That is a shock! Man...

@shanaber Good luck with Hilde. Remind her that there is a high chance it was artifact, just nothing and don't worry until there is something to worry about. She is very lucky to have you as her advocate. I understand that it may be trying at times, but it's nice to see the humanity that is often discarded in our culture.…

@quilteryoyo I had cereal with blueberries for dinner! Great minds! I have a follow-up today with the antidepressants. Lots of course work and an exam to study for and violin homework... busy day for me. Headache is still lingering. Weight is up about half a pound. I'll just call it normal fluctuation. No food plans for…

@quilteryoyo I added 5 pounds to my MFP starting weight so it wouldn't say "0 pounds lost". It's not that I didn't lose from there, but I lost it before MFP or chose to selectively forget that I weighed that much more. For calories, I have to set it low because I'll keep eating until I'm 500 over.The red does me good. DD…

@bearly63 That is an amazing view! WOW!

@ddmom0811 Sounds busy!!! We have a school for the Deaf about 30 minutes from us. I tried to talk DD into getting on there and honing her ASL skills. But I can't seem to motivate her either. Maybe they'll need a school nurse one day. It is walking distance to my favorite running spot. Sleep/greif/guilt/trauma I've had a…

Food Better choices and smaller portions still the result of the antidepressant. I think I may need a new dose. Last few days I'm crying a lot. But that's probably to be expected, no matter the dose, unless I can find something to leave me catatonic. But bet I'd still cry. I seem to cry in my sleep too. Today is rough- bad…

@quilteryoyo It may be that my mind is still busy processing and is keeping me up. I will be patient. I did get to sleep by 1130ish. So I lay awake for and hour and a half instead of three. I'm not terribly tired during the day, so maybe I am sleeping more than I think. Thanks again for the help. Food I had a headache…

Classes wow. They started as MW classes and well, are Monday on campus Wednesday online. My week just got a little "easier". Diggin' it, more pj time. Clinical's start (for me) in 4 weeks (unless COVID or Godzilla takes over). Be off the crutches, I hope, by then. Food Almond butter and jelly sandwiches as planned. The…

@Avidkeo I feel for you on so many fronts. If you gotta stay strong, you do it for you by resisting the chocolate, getting some me time, and don't compromise for being a caring human being. I do/did not want to share with my classmates about losing Alex, but ya know, kitten, I am going to cry at odd times so I figured…

TMI LOL @ quilteryoyo! I remember when I got DH to run more often and we changed our diets a bit and he said "i pooped myself" not knowing that was a thing. I have no gallbladder so walmart trips even still present the "uh oh's!". I can tell you how many socks I've sacrificed in the woods. Or planned runs around the porta…

Sleep/grief @quilteryoyo @ddmom0811 @shanaber Thanks for the thoughts on sleep. I took a benadryl last night and still didn't fall asleep till 1AM. I think part of it is my schedule is messed up, I don't get up when I wake up and sleep in til 10-11. And the bone healing has probably hit a plateau not demanding so much…

@quilteryoyo yay! On the weight! It's inspiring as I plan lunch meals between classes. It's so easy to want chips or mcdonalds and not be a little wiser in my choices. Glad the IRS business is sorted. @shanaber thanks for the MPH information. I think it could be a good move for me, just because it'd be less physically…

Thanks @quilteryoyo. It'll be interesting... Egg cheese toast sounds good. Last time I ate eggs, it didn't sit with my tummy. Probably all the fat. @shanaber I was looking at an MPH in community health, that what your DD has, right? She have any insights to the changing job market in this covid era? It seems to be noble…

So much good news here today; @shanaber Hilde's insurance! and huge congrats to DD landing 2 jobs (about time 2020!- er thank you!), stress fracture healing and a vacation! @bearly63 also stay safe traveling. @Avidkeo Food's on track, you got this, pre-plan and remove those temptations! I am so tempted by the scooby doo…

@rheddmobile we have a similar algae in our yard. It is clear green though. Is there an agriculture office in your area? They might help. Or park rangers office even. I could find nothing colorless. Plants need chlorophyll, so not sure what’s up with that one. Maybe it’s “dead”.…

@Avidkeo Ya I do have SI joint dysfunction. OA sounds about right. Food I ate so much yesterday and the last of the cookie dough as if it were a popcorn snack to be had with ghost hunting shows. I didn't take the antidepressant yesterday, so I figure that is why I ate so much. I did sleep better with a full belly and not…

@Avidkeo New x-ray. Kinda cool you can see where the old screw was just above the existing. I circled an area that looks odd to me. It is a spot that hurts. That half of my pelvis would be 1-2 inches higher than the other. It's finally returned to being even. But I wonder if it's wear. I noticed it seemed to catch the docs…

@shanaber Is there an Adult Protective Service there? I know they usually deal with abuse, but might know of some options.

@Shanaber It does sound like Hilde should be in an assisted living home. Perhaps this would be the time to get her in one. Maybe she'd become comfortable knowing it's temporary and become "okay" with staying permanently if she feels that her quality is better or is safer. The screws stay in the femur. He will remove them…

@kgirlhart Prayers for your dad. Tell him to be patient with the pain and don't be shy about bugging those nurses for anything he needs- I was never so elated after one woman escorted me to brush my teeth! I was in overnight for the femur bone (july 2020 hardware again) surgery and was happy to have a day or two alone with…

food eh... yesterday was terrible. I had a whole cauliflower pizza, 860 calories. Then cookie dough. When I honestly logged it, it was 800 calories (10 cookies). I did spend all day (again) in the same spot on the couch watching Buzzfeed Unsolved. Scale Was down enough to call it a trend. But then the dough... Class Opens…

@shanaber Will Hilde's insurance put her up in an extended stay hotel? That way she could still distance probably more so than the group home. Set her up with regular groceries and check-ins that shes ok and well? ETA oh doy.. that's what @quilteryoyo said. Great minds, eh? LOL!
