slept late, 143 this am.
worked yesterday, all is good, thankful for my job.
hubby wants to go to breakfast so I better get dressed. The newspaper awaits my return. It takes me hours to read it.
I have much paperwork to do today, behind in billing, charting the usual.
have a great day!

Had a great breakfast of scrambled eggs with spinach topped with zippy black bean salsa, yum and a side of brocolli. delicious!
came home and read the paper(only 2 hours this time, I did not read it cover to cover). Did one big load of laundry and put that away.
For dinner I sauteed lemon pepper talapia in grape seed oil. and steamed some frozen mixed veggies, squash, carrots, califlower and onions and red peppers. very tasty!
Finished the billing and some filing but did not touch the charting. Charting can wait, billing can't!
Hubby is picking up a red box movie rental, some scarey movie.
I was going to pick up some ice cream that I saw earlier at the store. chocolate mint, my favorite.
on sale a pint for $1
I resisted but just now toyed with going back and seeing if they had any left.
I refrained from doing that now that I remember it has 640 calories for the pint which I would eat the entire thing knowing me!
so I will have a piece of fruit...
I was thinking about drinking alcohol tonight...
(I even have some in the house which is dangerous!)
but decided that I did not want to give up on my self.
I "said that this would be a dry june"
gosh darnit!

Very healthy too.
I am wanting some your scrambled eggs with zippy black bean salsa about now.

But I think I'll have to make do with watermelon!

thanks you guys! have to get moving, slept restlesly due to being uncomfortable woke up several times to use the bathroom then finally got some sleep until I got up at 7;45 before the alarm. Read the newspaper and had 2 cups of coffee.
Getting psyched up to take a shower....
before my 10am appointment, "they" live about 10 minutes from here so easy drive and plenty of time to shower and get dressed if I am focused.
I spoke with "them" on the phone last week...the name is carrey but could not figure out if it was a male or female voice. Jeff said assume it is female...anyway it will be a surprise!
Watched out of the dark last night...good movie. Ate a pear and an apple and some kettle corn yummy! Satisfying...but I would have rather had the ice cream
Have a great day!

Bizi,

That is a creepy move. Was it scary?
I love popcorn any time of day.

Have a good day.

we liked the movie a lot.
It was really interesting. the trailer spoiled the movie.
That is why I rarely watch trailers and I did not for this one.
IT was a little haunting.
It was not gross. I thought it was well done and creepy.

well today I ate well:
2 cups of coffee with half and half and stevia sweetener.
lunch was stuffed talapia with shrimp and spinach, purple carrots, collards and a piece of bread "pudding"..think cinnamon, raisins, thick moist cake. Not a big piece.
I snacked on some almonds before dinner.

Jeff cooked dinner: sauteed 4 oz of chicken in a peanut thai sauce, was not spicy and 1 cup steamed califlower, and half an avacado. 2 dark chocolate kisses= yum!
Went to the gym tonight and walked 3.5 miles in an hour and my leg felt fine while walking.
Even though the quad lateral muscle is still sore getting up and down out of a chair etc. I am so much better. I came home and did a modified pigeon stretch which is hard to do.
I am supposed to start doing squats and lunges and leg presses when I am healed. Think I will go to the gym tomorrow and talk with the trainer. She may have some ideas about specific exercises and when I should start them.
I did shower this morning. Last week I went a whole week with out showering.....this not jogging and sweating and then needing a shower is killing me. I want my routine back.
sigh
Feeling a bit peckish, maybe I will just have a lime greek yogurt that sounds good!
Jeff is at Pauls, his best friends house. My friend Susan stayed in north carolina with her sister while her hubby drove back with his daughter.
I believe she will stay there until friday and come home then he will drive her to his sisters farm in wisconsin where she will stay for weeks I hope. I think she could work on the farm and feel good about it. It would be good therapy for her. And her daughter stay here and will sleep at her friends because Paul will be gone for 5 weeks, he teaches at a summer camp music for kids. Makes good money doing it. And Abigail new high school grad, will be working at sonic 30 hours a week. and if susan stays at the farm she can work on herself. She texted me that she was having non stop anxiety.
She started taking lamictal weeks ago.... very small dose and I could not see that was a side effect of it. I read some posts from people saying that it really helped with their anxiety. She was put back on zoloft. and is taking hormones due to menapausal symptoms.
estrogen with progesterone.
I wonder if that could be causing all of this anxiety. He did switch her from xanax to ativan don't know the doses.(.5mg 3 times a day????), maybe that is the problem?
Any way. needless to say I feel sad for her and frustrated with the medications not helping her.
anyway....
I am sure that Paul needed to vent to jeff who is still not home yet.
Earlier I did the check book and some of my business stuff. May was a slow month for me...don't know why but that always makes me nervous.
My twin texted me pictures of my nieces graduation pictures from the police academy. Today! She already has a job with the sheriffs dept. She was the only graduate that had a uniform on...she had kept that a secret from them, small group of grads.
Very proud day!

Now where is that yogurt?

jeff came home and told me the story it is not good.
