Good Morning! What is this? Going on 7 am and no LORI???!!!????!!!??!- Hey girl where are ya?
LORI- I like the fact you and
TRIG are posting your food. I might wanna do that too. I think that somehow when you actually write it out and put it out there you get clarity.
You have a trip coming up don't you? I seem to remember something along those lines!!!!
TRIG- - How is this new UP/ Down thing going for you? I just seem to be hitting nothing but UP days!
- not so dam funny!
I am glad to hear you are getting into hiking this year! Plus- the hubby going with you!!! Do you wear boots?
It's still hotter than hades - Are you a sweat bag when the hike is over?
NIC- Leave it to you to SPOIL my head in the clouds whiskey shot!!!!!
OMG- I had no idea there was that much sugar in a Fire ball! - Wow....... I think I snagged Trig's too!!!!
Are you getting any rain from the storm?
Funny story about big men- squirmy from a TINY needle! I swear they are all alike. They are bruno until a needle is in sight. It is sorta funny. Both my kids ended up with a booster for chicken pox! They both also had the series they are supposed to get before collage. I can't think of it right this second! I will think of it after I close the laptop!
Awesome you had a nice lite week! Are you doing the up/down days as well?
Blue- welcome back to the land of the living!!!! Get your strength back! I am glad it didn't go into a secondary infection! Urghhhh- so it was the FLU? UGHHH-
Hitting early! So glad you are feeling better!
--------------------------------------------
Speaking of FLU- I stopped in to see two patients yesterday and they are an elderly couple and both were so sick! They had already seen their doctor. They just needed some broth, chicken soup and ginger. But they don't drive, or have family.
I see this more than you know. People truly alone, and elderly and struggling to make it!
Yes I went and got them what they needed. I may HATE my job- but I still love the patients. My struggles are not their fault.
I am hours behind in charting. This charting is over the top. For every patient I see I have 1.5 hours worth of charting after I leave. It piles up fast. That does not include driving time- or prep time. They (corporate) keep piling on more and more required charting. It all takes time. My actual face to face time is so small - I know why doctors are bailing! This issue is not just with me- the industry itself is broken.
Those of us that actually give a dam are being burned out and leaving healthcare at warp speed. It is a sad state of affairs! Don't get me started.
I can't even think about the fact it is Friday- I am so behind!
Goal - to stop working by 7pm and get caught up so I can truly enjoy the weekend and not work.
Sorry another work tirade!!!!!-
Still hot and oppressive here. Mid 90's and no rain for the entire next week and no end in sight!
You know what I found interesting yesterday? I was driving back from Gainesville GA yesterday. Gainesville is north Ga near the boarder. Anyway it is hilly and pretty country side. Lots of farms and trees. I noticed that the tress are starting to shed leaves due to drought. No color change- just dropping leaves. It was shocking. We haven't had good rain for weeks and weeks. It has been sporadic here and there when it did. It was a brief shower and gone. then the sun comes back out and it's brutal. The foliage is feeling it. The trees have lost the deep color. My grass is turning brown.
Blue- I envy your cool and crispy air!
I have got to get my Sh*t together with my eating. I know that fish and veggies and working out was the ticket for my the first time around. That isn't going fly this time around. I have the taste for more fatty meats, and I am a slug bug (I was running 4 miles daily before
and going to the gym. I was a true gym rat). I need to change my mind set! Success starts in the brain.
I know things need to change- just need some mojo.
I need to develop a PLAN of CARE like I do for my patients and stick with it. I even considered joining a rec center- haven't ruled it out. I just need to DO IT!!!!!!
I have an empty fridge and a bottle of wine on the counter for after work! I am not going out tonight. Thought about it. It's hot- and I am waiting for some cooler air. There is a music fest at the square tonight. The bugs are going to love the people fest.
I am wiped out Friday nights!
Ok- what to have with wine for dinner? Maybe Fireball?????- HAHAHAHA- I could be a liquid diet today!
OK- I have to tell you all a funny - to at least end on a funny. So I was thinking I STILL smelled "something" in my fridge. Maybe it was just me now thinking it's still there. So I am doing the sniff test. I came across a old bottle of parma cheese. Well it was old and I decided to start tossing old condiments.
So what did I do? I opened the part cheese and dumped it in the trash can which sits in my kitchen.
Fast forward this morning I am making my way to the coffee post half asleep when a GROSS smell of TOE jam hit me in the face! OMG- where was it coming from. OH yea- the part- splattered in my trash. BARF.....It was all I could do to close the bag- open the window and put the bag in the garage! I will take it to a dumpster next door this morning so it doesn't stink up my garage!
I tell ya- I am afraid to put anything in my fridge. I swear I can still smell something- but it is truly now empty. I have washed it with lysol soap and hand dried it- looks new!
nothing underneath either.
Gotta start my day........ back t ya later when this is over!
