Amen about the eating at night/stomach issues. I also have a hiatal hernia, and in the last year or two have discovered that ice cream after dinner ends up back in my mouth about an hour after I lie down. Also, dinner should be kept to as small a serving as possible, and not eaten within a couple of hours of going to bed. I’ve taken to having the largest meal of the day at noon, with dinner reduced to a small snack, and my stomach is happier about that.
Ice cream is a breakfast food.
I’m slightly worried. My UH sends me my health chart through e mail. I gave blood today to see about my Vitamin D level. Saw results, none of which were D related. My wbc was low but there was a high amount in my urine, except there are No symptoms of uti, in fact, everythings good that way.
I will have to call the doctor tomorrow and see.
Just washed my hair and I’m hoping there wont be as much as theres been in my comb.
Otherwise, I feel okay.
The nurse is coming tomorrow around noon. Yay! One question we have for her is about how much she sleeps. My thought is that your body knows when it needs sleep, but since I’m not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV…
MIL ate a good supper and she’s looking forward to ice cream later. I’m planning to crash early if I can. Gotta build up my strength for laundry tomorrow.
I’s tahred…
And a good early evening to all here in N. Ali-bama. A little rain is falling, more is due later tonight, and due to the holiday Monday (forgot about it) trash and recyclables remain at the curb uncollected. Laundry is done (at least the shirts and underwear) and put into it’s proper places and I did change both filters and pulled the shelves out of the refrigerator and cleaned them good…it does make a difference on how the inside looks. Will head over to the gym once the cheeseburger in front of me is assimilated (ETA: it has been) and knock off some calories for the evening. Also got 3 tiny room thermometers for the house, right now the one I am looking at says it’s 70.5F and 40% humidity and has a smiley face so I guess that is good.
First time I’ve laundered my polo shirts since I started collecting XL sizes and getting rid of my 2XL sizes. Thought I had 12 or so, the count today was 18! So I went a bit overboard there, but they’re all Wal-Mart/Kohl’s/BJ’s Warehouse so not a great deal of expense went into them. Most of the tee-shirts are still 2XL but that’s ok by me.
shoe, have never watched (outside of clips here and there) much of Game of Thrones, but Peter Dinklage was the best thing about it for my money.
BBBoo, much the same story for Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Zero, I like them about the same, but they do have distinctive tastes.
wet one, Ouch! Sticking a needle in my foot is not on my Bucket List. Hope it helps.
JtC, told ya! Murphy is not to be trifled with.
Oopsie, sad for Bailey’s issues, I hope she does well. As for 'da bomb" it always reminds me of the old “All your base are belong to us” video where one of the lines is “someone set us up the bomb”.
IL, you made me glad I changed the filter. As for motivation to clean, for me it is finally getting messy enough for even me to be bothered by it (and that takes a lot, I assure you). Glad the stress test wasn’t too stressful.
FCM, I don’t have to remind you, but I’m going to anyway, Take Care Of Yourself.
OK, the after-work gym rush should be about done, so I’ll change into my nice clean pedaling clothes and start making a new pile of dirty laundry. Have a good night all.
Thank you all for your kind responses to my post on my new book.
FCM, I am holding you and yours in the light.
Howdy Y’all! Today was a day of high sloth as foretold in my earlier post. I did manage to walk all the way down to the mailbox and back. Naturally, nappage was needed to recover from that. It’s been a pleasant, but windy day, so we sat out by the cee-mint pond with beerverages for a bit this afternoon. Sup got heated up and et and the kitchen cleanded up.
I like the taste of Pepsi and Coke Zero over the diet versions, but will drink either one. Pepsi bein’ the preferred one here at da cave, but we will buy what’s on sale cause we are cheap thrifty old geezers.
I have lived here all my life, and I have never heard of it. Possibly they were located in the more rural areas, which are most of the state.
Don’t be worried yet: it’s possible the Vitamin D results are just taking longer. 
Apparently so on my end of the plant. It was a bit better today, as I was back to my usual duties.
Actually, we have to go through a third party website, who contacts the appropriate medical types, in my case, PCP, retinopathist and ortho doc.
Sis stitched some sturdy cotton shoelaces to her cushions to tie them to the frames. Before that, one of her little dogs (Nelson’s mother) would go surfing on the cushion and off the frame when she’d jump up in. Sometimes, there was already an occupant in the chair who went on the trip with her.
Hugs. Hearing the voice of someone you loved who is no longer around can really get to you.
I find this endearing. Skritches to Echo and the GR.
Although I rarely drink sodas anymore and even more rarely have had a sugared one (only when I have a serious drop in BG), I still like a diet Barq’s on occasion.
Yay on the potty success spicy!
Welcome back sticky buns!
Moooooom, you’re doing quite the mitzvah for your MIL. Make sure that you take some time for self care along the way. Hugs.
JBatts, you did good by Tony, just calling help and hanging with him until it arrived.
I finally caught up with you all (you’ve been a chatty bunch of late).
I was back to my usual duties again today and now I’m off until Tuesday. I’m beginning another paying studio gig (an album for a Valentine’s wedding), so most of the time will be spent playing with paper and pictures. The couple that commissioned an album for a September wedding contacted me yesterday about the possibility of matching thank you cards (100 of them!) with a place for a wallet sized wedding photo of the couple. I did the cost accounting last night and came up with a figure. Of course, the photographer was pleased to be able to sell them 100 more wallet sized pics too.
Stay safe and healthy y’all!
Heart issues are going to have you sleep or doze more.
I always give good nutrition advice, LOL!
Mom and FairyMIL can use the extra calories no matter how we get them to eat, but its good to have scientific back up. I read some of the article to Mom when I called her today, just to reassure her.
I never look at those. Ever. I’m not a doctor and don’t know what I’m seeing, so I ask Dr. Google and scare myself to death. I’ll delete the email and wait for my doctor to explain it to me, there is so much less worry for me that way.
I hope your doctor is able to reassure you.
In my experience, when their hearts stop working right, they are tired all of the time. Just standing up is exhausting because their poor weak hearts have to strain so hard to fight gravity and circulate the blood up from their feet.
Give her two scoops of ice cream, damn the calories, full speed ahead!
Oh, yeah. Murphy is a right bitch!
That vid was almost as ??? as Dark Star. Gawd, that one was a low budget D movie, so stoopid it was hysterically funny. (specially stoned)
Oh, how fun!
As someone else mentioned, those sort of problems rarely get better so it’s just a waste of time and resources for everyone.
Hurray for getting paid for doing something you enjoy. I hope your happy customers bring you more business.
I had a margarita for National Margarita Dy, along with Smoked Paprika Chicken, cheesy **N.O.T.**s and green beans. Plus hockey.
Well Spot is full grown(and then some), and has an adult voice, but he slips back to his tiny kitten voice when he feels abandoned.
: clutches pearls :
{{{{Oopsie and Bailey}}} It always hurts when the furry kids get old. 
Doggio, you ate hockey players? Sounds gruesome. I’ve just pulled a strata out of the oven. I was supposed to be for breakfast tomorrow, which it will be, but it’s also going to be a late dinner. The only problem is that I thought I had all ham in the freezer and I had some ham and some turkey. I’ve never had a quiche or strata with turkey. I guess we’ll see how it tastes!
Fuck me sideways, that is 1a.) cheap, 2b.) flexibly adaptable, and 3c.) not already coating Pinterest.
THANK YOU!!
Of whatever flavor she likes.
Hell, if she likes e.g. strawberry and chocolate, she gets one of each!
(And the FULL FAT stuff, too, none of that air-inflated “ice milk” bullshit.)
He knows how to manipulate his loved ones minions.
You are a prophet! More results. She was thorough. My potassium is a little high, but within range. My Hdl is low. Is that a good cholesterol?
The D? Normal is from 31-100. Mine is 35. Probably that much cause I’ve been taking 4.000 instead of my usual 2.000 since I had my scrip refilled Saturday.
Washed, then combed hair. Much less hair in the comb.
Theres other good news, not health related, I will share later.
So far as I can tell, that’s pretty much it. I seem to favor what they use in “zero” versions.
For some weird reason, Barq’s tends to give me hiccups. I don’t have that with other brands, such as A&W (we do the zero sugar, DH being diabetic).
Dr. Google says HDL is the good one, LDL is the one you want a low number on.
Its unusually foggy out right now. Cannot see past the parking lot. It could be a London vampire movie scene.
Oh, last night I had a good dream. My son and I were in a different city and I hated it and felt we must go back to the original home. I was upset about it, but he agreed and when I woke I realized we were together in the dream, instead of the horrid dreams where I can’t find him.
Boss never got back to me, so this whole month I’ve worked 4 hours.
One more quick little note so I’m not hopelessly behind tomorrow. Have pedaled about 700 calories worth and did 25 minutes in the sauna, so had a little before-bedtime snack so poor little me don’t starve. In a way, watching calories like this is probably helping my weight control, I was told after having my Gall Bladder out about 20 years ago that eating big meals would add to my body mass since without the GB I couldn’t process food as quickly. Of course I ignored this for decades but now while watching calories I find I am eating stuff ‘in-between’ and keeping the calorie count down on my two main meals, so it works out.
red, sounds like the side business is booming.
JtC, supposedly the “All your base” video was going to be an ad for a Japanese Video Game, don’t know if it was ever released here but the translation was not…perfect. Here’s the straight dope from Wikipedia: All your base are belong to us - Wikipedia
Coppertone, sounds like overall positive news.
Turned the water on about 9pm when I got home from the gym, will leave it on overnight as a test bed if there is a leakage or not. Otherwise will slip off to bed here in a bit if my You Tube channels will let me. Catch y’all Firday.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to heave. Spot is not in the closet.
