Good for you! I've found it takes my body a couple weeks of being consistent with the switch in exercise routine to go from being exhausted to having an increase in energy! Making sure you get in your protein and eliminating (or decreasing) sugar should help too I haven't eaten anything yet this morning, so that will probably help. What is this eliminating sugar you speak of? I like sugar! :-) Clearly from the 2 brownies I had for desert last night. Girl. Eat something! Haha, I hear you. I actually eliminated sugar other than a cheat meal a week and I'm amazed at how much better I feel. We'll see if I actually stick with it now that I'm in my last week of a diet/fitness challenge at my gym... ha!

This weekend when I was at my parents my mom showed me some old family photos and letters she brought back from her aunt's. She has the joy of being the PoA for her evil bitch bigot aunt who is still going strong at 99. Another caretaker quit because she was physically violent with her. The aunt lives out of state and my mom flew out there to take care of some business. Her aunt is a hoarder and keeps everything down to cancelled checks from the 30s. We read some old love letter a potential beau sent her and it would have been endearing and sweet but he was a racist too and he complained about Mexicans taking his job. My mom was trying to clear out some of my aunt's house because she can no longer live independently. She has dozens of pairs of shoes, many fancy high heels that were like new. The woman helping my mom told her the trans community in the city would love the shoes and some of the fancy and pristine dresses. So my mom happily donated a bunch of lovely women's clothes to a trans organization in my LGBT-hating aunt's name. Lol. I love my mom.

tgrimes nam2013 sending good thoughts to both of your parents! Hi from the hospital. Lucas has surgery this morning for bilateral Baja implants. The dr thinks these will restore his hearing to almost Normal, so we are excited! It's outpatient and should only take an hour or so, so hopefully they call him back soon so we can get going! He hasn't done great in the past with coming out of anesthesia, so if you have a second today and could send him some good thoughts I'd appreciate it!

nam2013 gosh, what luck if they caught something early because of her leg. I'm sorry to hear though and hope she has a good prognosis. My uncle recently had that and is on the mend after surgery. It really is! I realise that we're lucky they caught it this way.

How soon will they know about your mom's heart, nam2013? Anecdote: I have a mitral valve prolapse and it gives my no trouble at all. FX it's something benign like that. Have fun on your trip, Cher! xolastunicornxo good luck with L's surgery today.

xolastunicornxo I hope everything goes super easy during the procedure and he is great afterward! wineallthetime not to worry, I got up and had my protein shake after I read your message. I just start working and forget about eating then realize I'm hangry with a headache! :-) We're getting ready to go for a walk for lunch, so my step count should be good today!

I'm a mess.
My fibro is killing me. My legs are so achy and fatigued for no reason at all. I didn't do my walk this morning and Pete thinks I need to go to urgent care. LOL for what? Nobody knows what to do with me.

MH GOT TICKETS FOR IT!!! I'm so excited. It isn't until Sept. 8th, but still.
This Friday we are going to see an anniversary showing of Monster Squad, which I believe has some of the actors coming. Last night he went to a showing of Effects(1980) and got to meet Tom Savini. He was pretty dang excited.

Going to pick up lunch and go to the post office. My boss has zero appointments today so he's in the office all day. It's cramping my internet time.

I'm sorry cagoldi . It's so frustrating when there's nothing you can really do. Maybe chant with some crystals and rub essential oil on you just for the hell of it?
