Hi all! Kind souls have coaxed me back here where I belong although I am exactly where
@SlimLizzy was a month ago. Whingefestapallooza over here in the new world. I have so much to read here that I already give up!
High ("") points:
After a very short respiratory illness (probably not Covid; nobody at her facility caught it) my mom passed away Feb 27. She was deep deep into last stages of dementia and went Home. No services have been held yet; everyone would have to travel=not yet.
March 6 first grandbaby born by appointment. Long-awaited and hard-won little boy (insert Grannie babble here)
March 19 we closed on a house of our very own!
March 19-April 18 we moved ourselves (nobody breathing on my things please!)
A short break during which we did not get the carport cleared out and things are moldering out there.
June 4, hernia repair surgery in the little opening between virus surges. All going well but it was harder than I thought.
Last Monday a hurricane remnant, scary but not in reality-- a little wind, a little rain. It rained more Friday than it did Monday. Are we finished yet?
I stopped testing last fall; "too busy with other health stuff". Thought I had a kidney problem but so far dr thinks it's that I was drinking too much water. Labs this month will tell.
Started eating more of the right thing, where I'd merely been eating the right amount. Cardiologist tells me to stop losing weight (apparently BMI under 20 no longer a good BMI...)
Not in conscious response to her, bad-for-me foods join the menu. This continues. I am trying to behave but every day is Groundhog Day so far.
Mr ZF working from home. Puts Oreos on the shopping list. Annual three-chocolate-cakes-in-four-weeks fest for anniversary, father's day, his birthday. Also Ghirardelli brownies for depressed DIL. Then there was National Chocolate Chip Day. Mr ZF loves him his cookies. He will never have diabetes.... last bloods his BG was 82/4.6 a couple of hours after a bowl of raisin bran with a banana on top.
Oh right. My cardiologist will make me take statins if I don't keep my cholesterol down. Trying to stay off cream, butter, cheese. Was doing well but not now.
So. I will tell about the LC things I ate today, and you can assume that some of them were over-indulged, and that something feral has been consumed as well, and forgive me?
Meal 1 avocado, pecans in avocado oil (cardiologist said eat avocado oil...), an egg, 90% Lindt chocolate, and flax crisps with a mug of dilute soymilk. Favorite meal of the day, every day.
Lunch en famille (insert Grannie goo-goo here): chicken picked out of a chicken/onion/apple soupy thing, merlot cheese, cherry tomatoes.
Snack more pecans, celery
Supper to be, I think, a baked chicken thigh, wilted spinach with HM salad dressing, more flax crisps.
Hugs to EVERYBODY!!!!
