Forgot to tell you the ladies at the party last night were so friendly. At one point there were 5 of us sitting around the table in the play room commiserating about menopause, thought to myself. Wow, I could actually have these woman be new friends, very exciting! Most of the people there were from whole foods trivia night on fridays. Wow... new friends!!!!!



Went to brunch this morning/noon. Ordered the BBQ beef brisket omelet with sauteed veggies and a side of brocolli. Right away asked for a to go container and cut it in half to take with me. It was delicious!
There are left overs in the refrigerator from last week that need to be eaten. stuffed bell pepper, crock pot pork roast with green beans and carrots and onions, now my BBQ omelet.



We are supposed to go to a retirement gathering for a colleague at 2 then a cook out at a friends house. I did laundry last night so that is done. I need to rake the leaves up and it is supposed to rain later. I need to take a shower as I have early morning appointments for the next 3 days before we leave on thursday.


I have filled my pill boxes for the next 2 weeks, pdoc authorized the early refill of 2 meds that I was going to run out of while on vacation. I can pick them up today which is good. klonipin and zyprexa which are really important to me and my sleep. I had some small of a cushion for the klonipin but did not want to use it so asked for a refill early that my pdoc had to approve. She did and I need to pick them up.


I don't think I want to go to the events this afternoon, maybe go later to the cookout. There will be much drinking and I don't want the temptation.
If/when I go I will bring my diet drinks like I did at the last gathering and it worked out just fine. IT is the long pause at the gathering before eating that is hard to just socialize...not sure who else may be there. Think I will call to find out who else is going. He is cooking pork chops on the grill. That sounds like they will be dry and I would rather eat the left overs in my fridge. Maybe I will just go later after they eat.



Yesterday I picked up an unusual plant at the nursery.
It is called red button ginger. It is exotic and reading about it requires an amount of care. You can eat parts of it. I will repot it. So I have things to do today before my busy days/work week before we leave.
The first appointment is for an obese woman
(think 400/500 pounds, am not sure).


I just told Jeff that I did not want to go to the retirement gathering and the cook out, I will eat left overs which are on my diet. He understood.


I am going to forego weighing myself until I see Dr. Orazio on wednesday.


Have a great sunday!
