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.

Thanks Donna, I do too.
While she was in N.C., well rather she still is there....sorry
while her husband was still there they ended up taking her to a psych hospital, for 11 hours which sounded dreadful. She was not admitted.
She may be flying home on friday...
don't know for sure.
Ate too much tonight. We had gone out for cheap boiled crawfish.
It was not a good experience.
Had char broiled oysters that were not that good. And the crawfish stuck to the shell and they shredded apart and did not taste all that good. Corn and potatoes were good. Dipping sauce was fair.
WE are so used to dwights and love their food but alas the crawfish season is almost over, dwights stopped last week, *sniff sniff.
Going to a greek restaurant tomorrow with my lunch buddies instead of Sandras.
I have a busy day tomorrow need to go to bed early tonight.

My leg is getting better every day I can feel it less of an issue.
I was a drenched rat yesterday when I got caught in the rain so had a rain coat today. I put 92 miles on my car today and managed to stay out of the rain for the most part. Drove thru a down pour!

Had a great lunch at the greek place. Ate off the buffet but did not over do it and only had one plateful. But at $12 I don't think I ate my moneys worth. Had cardamon tea with honey and milk. did not taste any different but is supposed to be very healthy. grilled chicken pieces, tabouli, grapeleaves, hummus and 2fried eggplant halves. It was good.
There ended up just being 4 of us.

After lunch I went to see emily my 56 year old client who lives in an assisted living home, She had fallen and broke her shoulder a month ago. felt sorry for her. I have seen her for years and she has some sort of autism, mental deficiency but we connect and our visits are great.

I had a new client this afternoon,"miss priss" in her 70's I think.
She was a smoker, lung disease...wears oxygen when she is in the house...not smoking. She has hired help. Getting over pneumonia, has a terrible cough. She kept me waiting inside while she finished her cigarette....also has diabetes and was eating fried pork fat and offered some to me. It is called cracklins. I gracefully declined.
She told me she used to live in brazil and would get pedicures for 25 cents. That some times she would get 3 pedicures in one day. I told her she was spoiled! I gave her a good pedicure but really just wanted to leave, hope she doesn't call me back....am I a bad person for that....?
I am used to geriatric patients.
anyway.
I saw an Alzheimer pt after her. Sweet bell she lets me do her pedicures but doesn't want me to put lotion on her...which is the best part of a pedicure!
She is very frail, walks with a walker and help and has 24 hour around the clock sitters. I see her every 2 months.
For the most part I love my job. Thankful for the work and my ability to do the work.
Jeff cooked baked teryaki ginger salmon for dinner tonight with green beans and half an avocado. couple of strawberries and 2 hersheys dark chocolate kisses. Delicious!

Went to the gym and and walked on the tred mill for an hour and tried to do a weight machine...I am not ready for that yet.Did a pigeon stretch and even that was hard, tight to do. Tried to do a lunge and that was really hard to do. yesterday I tried to do a squat and could not do that. I am so out of shape.

Jeff just came home from having a few beers with a friend. Going to watch another x-files episode and go to bed.
