176.9!!! That's f'ing awesome, Bizi!!! :):):)

Planks sound really hard! :eek:

I'm glad that you got the doctor's order you needed. Is it easier when you can work directly with nurses to get those and bypass the office staff?

Glad you are getting more time in the planks. I wont be trying
that it isn't something I could do.

But that is okay. I've got to get out walking again though.

Soon soon

Jeff has a sinus infection too.
Went to the walk in clinic down the road. Just hit him acutely. His maxillary sinuses, even his teeth hurt him. He is sleeping right now which is good, he did not sleep well the night before.

They gave him amoxicilian, flonase, steroids to take and a cortizone shot in his butt. They confirmed his prediction.

I don't like the way they prescribed the steroid use. 30mg x 4 days then none.
He has 20 pills I told him to taper off them.
30mg x 2 days then 20mg x 2 days then 10 mg x 2 days, perhaps then 5mg x2 days then none.
What do you think about this Kay?


I am up too early this morning...anxious to weigh myself.
stuck at 177.4.
I had cream in my coffee so broke my fasting guidelines....rationallizing what harm can half and half do?
It is mostly fat so has few carbs.


Last night I got home early and baked some chicken thighs wrapped in bacon. Put them in the oven to cook. Then jeff came home sick and decided he had a sinus infection so he drove himself to the walk in clinic. and I drove to the minute med clinic and gave him our hsa (health savings account)card. It is a pre tax savings card for medical purposes.

Went home and the chicken was over cooked. Jeff had said he wasn't hungry so I ate the over cooked chicken throwing away the hard areas.
It was late by the time jeff got home. Went to the grocery store to pick up yogurt and cottage cheese for him, I ended up going to popeyes for chicken for him to eat. He went to bed early, hoping he slept well.


I got up at 5am this morning...onto my 3rd cup of coffee.


Every day I check onto my yahoo email account with a little bit of anxiety. Worried that I will get a note from my lawyer about the board of nursing stuff. So far none. So I just have to wait on the board. I could wait a long time. Which is fine by me.:(


Had to let go of another client of mine because she doesn't have a doctor. She uses walk in clinics if she needs care.


Yesterday I worked in the yard a bit. Pulling up dead leaves and pruning stalks of cannas. A type of flower that grows and spreads fast. I had not done that in a years time and it was awful looking. Cut it all down to the ground then raked the leaves up to. It is all ready to grow, a fresh start even pruned back the shoots that had started to grow because some of the leaves were damaged from some cold weather that we had a month ago.


Now what to do it is almost 6 am and I don't have anything that I need to do. I guess I could clean the house a little. Last night I used endust on the coffee table in the living room. Wiped down 3/4 of it. There was paper work and a file folder on top of the corner that I did not move to dust under that. So I will finish that today.


It has been 5 weeks since I have had cream in my coffee.
It is just lovely! I missed it.
Have a good day!

Bizi, I would just have Jeff take the steroids as prescribed. They are giving him a steroid burst to get rid of the inflammation quickly, and since he won't be on them for long, it's okay to forgo the taper. I hope he gets better soon. It sounds like he has one hell of a sinus infection! (((HUGS))) to Jeff

I'm sorry about the chicken. I hate it when something I cook doesn't come out the way it should. Wrapping the bacon around the chicken sounds like a lot of work :hug:

If you drank 7 cups of coffee a day like me, I would worry about using cream because the fat and carbs would really add up (I just use a splash of fat free milk). But since (I think) you only drink 2-3 cups a day, I wouldn't worry about it, especially if you don't use a lot or do it all the time. It's really not a big deal, so enjoy your coffee! :)

You did A LOT yesterday between cooking, doing a little cleaning, working in the yard, and taking care of things for Jeff. I can't believe you woke up so early! You must be exhausted!!! :hug::hug::hug:

I'm glad that you haven't heard anything from your lawyer... no news is good news!!! :)

Have a good day, Bizi! :)

I hope Jeff feels better soon.

I just had a bad feeling about jeffs symptoms.

They came upon him so quickly.
Yesterday he did not have chest congestion, today he does.
He said he slept good. Hope he can make it thru today, short days on fridays. and then the weekend to recover.
The literature that he came home with made it sound like he is contagious. I did not think you can "catch" a sinus infection from some one????


I saw a client earlier than normal so I could make it to sandras in time for the lobster! right out of the oven. I think that was the best lobster I ever had and told the cook just that. It was delicious!
It had a spinach stuffing on top and came with collards and a bowl of corn chowder that was terrific, just enough spice/heat that I like.
Before leaving, I picked up some of the pre marinated salmon and will freeze them, also bought a quart of veggie soup for the weekend some time. They were out of tabouli rats.
