It's that time again. Home, then gym. I hope this new regiment I have planned doesnt kill me. Its definitely going to hurt tomorrow. 
I hope everyone has a great day!

My gray is evenly dispersed throughout my hair in large quantities. I'll admit it does look like it is high lighted with gray. Still not sure I'll do anything with it. I'll have to come up with the $60 to do it with if I do.
The second doctor appointment of the day went as expected. Going tomorrow for a hip xray, possibly a bone spur and if not I have an order for PT. She did an A1C blood test to check for any sign of diabetes due to the major change in my vision over the past couple of months. If it doesn't show anything then back to the eye doctor I go. Lastly, in her words, I have a raging bladder infection. I'll pick up the antibiotics for that tomorrow after work along with that medicine they give you to stop the burning. That's about the sum of it.
The roast, potatoes, carrots, and green beans cooking in the crock pot smell really good. Too bad I'll only get the green beans and carrots. Maybe a taste of the roast. I'll supplement the rest of my dinner with a slimfast cappuccino flavored shake and some tomatoes from the garden and a peach. Mmmmmm...It's not quite as good as a frappuccino but close enough to curb the craving for one and not near the amount of points. Hmmm, I wonder how a weight watchers french vanilla shake blended with a peach would taste? Might have to try that tomorrow.

Good morning and Happy Hump Day all!
I was right. The new workout didnt kill me, but Im definitely sore, and it's only going to be worse tomorrow. Unfortunately, today is leg day, which means I get to make my WHOLE body hurt for a couple of days. The other downside is, I am SO tired. Even after a good seven hours of sleep, my body is exhausted. I'm still one pound away from my pre-weekend weight though. I still cant believe that I let myself gain five pounds in one weekend. It was so worth it though.
Not really much else going on. Mrs E is still going to work before I get home and comes home after I go to bed, so I havent really seen her since Sunday evening. It kinda sucks. Both of us are acting like single parents most of the week. But, with the extra hours she's pulling, its helping out a massive amount with our finances.
Well.... I guess it's time to get moving. Still got a lot of stuff to go through with even more on the way. I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Ya know... Leftovers are rarely as good as they were the night before... Shake 'n' Baked pork chops may be tasty fresh from the oven, but they just arent the same the next day.
And of course, now I would love to have something sweet... Darned diet.

FINALLY. Everyone is out either eating lunch or working in the field. Which means I can vape without trying to minimize the amount of vapor I exhale! AND I can do it without going outside in the "low" humidity of 75% and 90 degree temps!
I'm home from work and Target pharmacy. I bet Target loves to see me coming because of the amount of money they get from us every month. I just spent $175 on meds and that didn't include the $133 one that I told them to put back. It was a new one my dr prescribed for me yesterday and I just can't spend $133 on just one med a month. We already spend about $300 a month on all the other meds, not including the copays we make at the doctor appointments. I called and told them I needed to see if the doctor wanted me to stay on the old one he replaced with the new one or give me something different. The receptionist said that she would talk to him and it was possible that I could just come there and get samples to last me for the month, every month. I told her that would be great but when they no longer made samples or if they were out I couldn't afford to pay for it at the pharmacy. She is going to check with the doctor and see what he wants to do. Then another new one that is only $10 a month to replace a different one I was on. Then there was the other new one from him that I have samples for and have no clue what it will cost. I need to call the pharmacy and find out if it will be covered by the copay because it is pretty new. They still have commercials on the tv for it all the time. Then there were the three my general practitioner gave me for the bladder infection and my hip. I'm drowning in this stuff. Today was the first day on all this new stuff. I ate something so I could take it all without getting sick. Ugh!
Work went ok. My one dog didn't show up but ended up doing the other groomers dog, a golden retriever shave down. Shocking that she didn't come in, I know.
Now I'm home and pestering the kids to do chores. Alex went back to sleep so I told him he can sleep for an hour then he has to get up and finish cleaning the kitchen. Morgan is playing a game so I told her she has to start hers in an hour as well. I just ingested enough medicine to kill a horse so I'm going to sit down and see how all this runs through my system ok or if I will be able to walk in a few minutes. If it works out well then I'll get up and do some house work. If not then I'll sit my tail on the couch and do nothing.

I agree, shake and bake isn't that great on the second go around. I'm conquering my sweet craving with a light caramel macchiato from starbucks and a banana.
Well, I think I'm going to meander on outta here. I'm debating if I want to gym or not... I need to gym. But I dont think I want to. But if I dont, I wont have time tomorrow to make it up... Ungh. I'll just go. Or not. I might. Maybe.
"They" are migrating my account over to the new company network tonight. Anyone wanna take any bets on if I'll be able to get online tomorrow?
Tiff, that's a lot of drugs and a lot of money for them. Wow. Good luck!

Good afternoon Posse! I'm still with the living!
I have to stop thinking I can take a half hour nap anytime after I get home from work, it just doesn't happen. Even if I set the alarm on my phone, it still turns into a 4 hour "nap". Last night I wanted to take the trash and recyclables out before I went to bed, ended up having to do it in the morning, along with making my lunch, having a cup of coffee, taking a shower... that's way too much to do when I'm not awake. <sigh>
I need to order some more House! My stash is almost gone!
I'm writing this down in hopes I won't let myself forget!

Holy smoke! Would you believe I just woke up? Seriously, just like 15 minutes ago. Well, I'm gonna have to revamp my med times to split some of this up. I could easily go back to sleep but I need to get up and at least feed the dogs. Ugh, I feel like a zombie. *typing with one eye open* Let's just say that housework did not get done today. The kids did at least clean and get their chores done while I was out.

Good morning all. Happy Almost Friday!
Weather is acting kinda weird today. The highs are only getting to about 90, but its already 80. Just looking at the temps, I was all set to throw all my gear on and ride the bike to work today... Then I saw it was supposed to rain this morning and again this afternoon. So I brought the car. And it didnt rain. If I make it home without seeing any rain today, Im gonna be mad for wasting the good riding temps. Tomorrow is another "cooler" day, but the rain chances are about the same. Carolina summers are in full swing. Hot, humid, probable storms every afternoon.
I was right again. My arms are so sore I can barely move them. But surprisingly, my legs arent nearly as sore as I expected them to be. I think that means that I need to add more weight next week.
Time to sit down and get my daily dose of paperwork done. Then, depending on today's delivery, I may be able to get the floor cleared off by the end of the day, leaving me with what I hope is an easy Friday. Fingers crossed!
