It is official, down 4 pounds this morning. 147
Planning on going to whole foods this friday to socialize and play trivia, if I hold out watching everyone around me drink and I will drink water.
I am hoping it will be fun, guess I will drive seperately in case I get anxious.
I work this weekend too. Still playing catch up from the holidays.
seeing a client saturday morning then getting my hair done which takes hours.
It is so damaged, wonder what they will do to it?
High light with color? They say color is a deep conditioner.
Any way, getting ready to start my day, but need another cup of coffee!

It is 38 degrees this morning, cold enough to wear long underwear. Got up to 62 yesterday, it will be the same today.
Clients like their homes warmer and then I end up sweating. My new scrubs are mostly polyester so they don't breath. I think they will be really hot this summer. Oh well we shall see.
Still have not done my paperwork....procrastination....
Have a great day all!

Thanks for reading Dave!

Have a busy day today then going to see my therapist who is elderly, not sure how old.
She has an office at the baptist association building and they offer her free space to use. So she offers discounted sessions=$40 for an hour.
I like her to a point.
Am seeing her because my psych doctor wants me to see someone to help me in regards to my drinking problems.
Last time I saw her before the holidays she wanted me to find someone to be accountable.
I should be accountable to myself.
I think she may have been referring to a sponsor like in AA. Not the way to go for me.
I had told her upfront that I was not looking for spiritual guidance and she said that was fine.
I drank so much over the holidays and december was my worst month ever since I have been tracking it for several years now.
sigh
I am Alcohol free for 11 days...feeling good about that.
100 days seems insurmountable.
Bizi

We must all tread our own path, bizi. When I quit drinking I did it alone, for myself and my family with no outside support.

11 days is over 10% already

Dave.

thank you dave! HOpe you are doing alright.
How are you?

Ate alone yesterday because the gang did not text me by accident. Mark did the texting group message and left me out unbeknownst. They went to whole foods and I had taco soup at sandras.
Today they were there.
Had a great meal. Ribeye steak medallions medium rare.
zuchinni squash, collards and bread pudding, all were delicious!
Saw my clients, ended up cutting a toe while cutting off a callus, she has a hammer toe. I felt HORRIBLE! I found out that she was on a blood thinner the hard way.
I could not get it to stop bleeding.
Finally got a big bandaide with cottton ball to stop the bleeding.
It was awful.
I told her to go to a walk in clinic to get it worked on for as soon as she removed the cotton(which will stick to the wound) it will start bleeding again.
I will call in a bit, she asked her neighbor to go with her, hope it doesn't take long for them.
Wonder what they will do???
sigh
Went to my therapy session after that and was all upset. She talked me thru it.
I really like her though. Pretty non judgemental.
Encouraged me.
I felt better than I went in so that is good.
For dinner tonight:
Had Taco soup again with cheddar cheese and sour cream, very good.
one chocolate truffle, yummy! love them from whole foods.
speaking of which....I wonder if I will be able to hang out there and drink water while the rest have delicious craft beers tomorrow?
We shall see.

Did I say that I started a good chunk of my taxes last night.
They seem harder to do this year, tax act.com changed things up a bit.
Am awaiting Jeffs w2's and his self employment paperwork.
WE may actually get a refund this year!

Wound up waiting for the results of x-rays, liver bloods and blood glucose bloods.

Seems like I have been waiting for results constantly for the last 6 months. It is very draining.

Dave.

I am sorry dave.
Can't you call your doctor?
Ask for the lab results to be sent to you.
Is there a portal on line that you could get your results?
Many doctors are going that way.
waiting is tough!!!!!!!!
bizi

I can call my Dr for the results of the various tests, it always takes 10-14 days for them to reach my Surgery in the first place. That is the earliest we can get our results here, after the requesting Dr has analysed them.

It can be a pain, but when something anomalous shows up they do rush results through. I have had them back and received a letter from my Dr within 3 days about my liver.

Dave.

I guess I will wait with you.

tonight I watched 6 episodes of the big bang theory show in a row.
It is a funny show.
I never watch stuff by myself. I was thinking earlier that I could easily drink the beers that are in the cupboard...no one would know.
But I thought that I am strong enough to do this challenge.
So instead I ate 2 apples and drank some grapefruit la croise sparkling water, sunflower seeds, almonds, dried cherries, truffles....I am stuffed.
We ate pizza for dinner tonight, not very good. Even though it was a paul newmans one supposed to be healthier than other pizzas.
It was just fair.
Not convinced that it was cooked all the way.
Jeff said some of his was cold.
He had to hurry and go to his "Sky liners" gig.
Think 1940's big band music, 18 piece jazz band.
He looks great in a tux!
I have heard them perform a couple of times before. Not really fun to go by myself.
My friend stephanie said she would go with me next time in 2 months.
He is due home in half an hour so that is good.
Maybe I could clean my bathroom floor.
I think I could do that in a half an hour.
It is sticky from the hair spray build up and every time I spray wet my hair it just makes it more sticky.
YUCK!
I think I will clean it, gasp!

Hey bizi,

I watch Big Bang on continuous loop, 2 episodes 5 days a week. Then new Seasons as they are released. It is my favourite current comedy, I relate to the characters.

Well done on staying strong and going for the healthy option instead of the beers.

Hair spray build-up from overspray is nasty, I hope you had the energy to clean it all up.

Jeff's gig sounds impressive! I assume it was a success.

Dave.
