Daily Ooo's: Tuesday, March 7

[faerywings]

I am so sleepy this morning. I had nightmares again the last couple of nights. I had my Disney one two nights ago, where we are at Disney and it is the last day before we leave and we didn't do anywhere, do anything. That is a recurring one and I cannot imagine why I have it /snark
Last night was weird, I woke up several times out of it and then back into it but I can't remember any of it now that I am "awake." I am using "awake" in the view that I am sitting up with my eyes open. haha!

I was able to get a lot accomplished yesterday, but I still have more ridiculousness to deal with. I tried calling the FamilyCare office again with no luck. I also tried to enter my info for Scott's financial aid so he could fill in his info and submit it but he needs to have his FAFS ID updated and I can't do that part. That has to get done before I would be able to continue.
I made my appt with breast surgeon but no luck with the optometrist since she is not in my plan and now I have to look for someone new.

Scott came home with more good news about his summer job at the garden center. He not only is getting a raise but will be FT once he is out of school. He is going to stay at the restaurant job until then and then he is going to quit/take leave. He is happy about that. He is *much* happier working at the garden center than at the restaurant (where would he get that from?? )

Today I am cleaning which will be good to get me out of the house. it won't be as cold today either although it looks gray and drizzly. I will take that over the freezing temps we had the last few days.

Hope you have a warm and cozy day, filled with all good things!

Nancy- enjoy that sun and heat for me, please! I would love to have some sun on my face! I would be like you-- wanting to spend every minute outside that I can. Are you going to have any time to go bird watching too?

Trudy- that is so cute that you andDH got out for a hike together. That stinks about the knee, however. Knee replacements are not an easy surgery. My dad's hip replacement was a piece of cake compared to people I know who have had knees done. And jeez- even what we went through with Jaida's knee surgery. Hope that it doesn't come to that.
How was the facial??? I must have felt amazing to get pampered like that!
I never did get around to looking at Cait's policy about vision. Why can't they all be the same? (Don't get me started on the new "Health Care Plan" the Congress is putting forward. :rant
Don't forget that it is normal for your weight to fluctuate a lb or so every day, don't give up! You got this! :cheer2:
Hope that you were able to figure out dinner last night. I hate dealing with that too (as you all know!)

Sharon- never saw any of those movies, but glad that you enjoyed it! Gary and I finally watched Finding Dory last week on Netflix- not at good as Nemo, but still very cute.

Rae- that is fantastic news about Jen and the apt! Thanks for the recipe link, I am going to share that with Cait!

xoxo

Morning ladies... Lucky Nancy is out in Arizona and soaking up the sun and heat!! :hurt: why didn't she take us all with her?? Grey and drizzly here this morning and I am going to hit the pool soon. Hopefully it will be nice and quiet there! Other than that not much happening around here today, so I am hoping to get some more scrapping done. I actually got a page done yesterday for the upcoming party. I am so far behind on things here!

Chris - That sucks that you had such a horrible nightmarish sleep! Funny that you have that recurring dream about Disney! Wonder WTH that is all about? Hope you can finally get everything dealt with on the Insurance issues! Hooray for Scott having a full time job when he is done school! That must make him feel so good! I hope that your cleaning goes well today and that you enjoy getting out for a bit!

Rae - Such good news for your daughter to have a place of her own, it sounds like a very nice spot for her! You will be sad to see her go though, its nice to have the company of another woman in the house especially when that woman is your daughter! Good luck on getting all of your desk work done and staying off the internet! I have a problem with that also LOL. Getting a bit disappointed with the diet as I don't seem to be losing any more weight, guess I have to really get serious about keeping track of my carb/proteien goals. I am bad for not being strict with it.

Sharon - Glad you enjoyed the movie, I have watched the first few but I think the first one was the best one!

Ok I am needed some coffee! Then hope to talk with Heather and Mason this morniing! Then off to the pool. Oh my facial was great yesterday and I was good and did not purchase any products, much to the disappointment of the owner :becky: I have two more treatments to do so I think my next will be the hand treatment and I will leave the massage for the last. Have a great day everyone! :wave:

Good morning, ladies. The house is qiuet with Darrell and Jen gone to work. Noel is in the spare bedroom as I'll be downstairs most of the day and no one will there to watch him to make sure he doesn't claw up the couch. Taz and I will go in and visit him a bit here and there throughout the day. Taz is off to the vet today for his flushing and I'll pop into the grocery store for a few things to go with a ham dinner. I'm making ham, mashed potatoes for them and cauliflower/cheese mash for me, with baked asparagus with oil, spices and cheese. Rain today so I'm happy to be indoors for most of it.

Chris - that's great for your son about the job! Hope your sleep/nightmares improve. Sounds like you are on top of things, slowly getting it all taken care of. I still have taxes to do so must force myself to knuckle down and spend some time at it.

Trudy - if you aren't losing, maybe your protein is too high or your carbs are higher than you think. Don't go over 20 a day and track everything. You'd be amazed at where hidden carbs are. If you are not in fat burning mode but eating high fat you are not going to lose and then will start gaining. If you are not sure if you are fat burning, get some ketone strips to test your urine first thing in the morning. That will tell you, and it doesn't matter how far into ketosis you are, it just matters that you are. It's like being pregnant, you aren't a little or a lot pregnant, you are simply pregnant. I got my strips from Walmart for about $7. I only tested a few times to be sure I was in ketosis and now I know I am. Like I said, if you have a hard time keeping the carbs low enough, then try a South Beach/Atkins type of diet where you won't eat as much fat, higher carbs and higher protein. Also, remember as you lose weight or not, you could be losing inches. My scale hasn't budged much this last week but I've lost about another inch off my waist. So keep that in mind. Good luck.

I'm getting to work now. Have a great day, everyone.
