1. See shrink for 3 month supply of medication refill slip - Done
2. Take happy pill in front of watching me like a hawk to ensure compliance, over zealous because this is her first home care license ever, DIL to be - Done
3. Do dishes I hid in oven so I didn't have to unload the clean dishes from the dishwasher and load it with the dirty ones before Ms. Worrying Too Much About Contamination, things you can't even catch from dirty dishes, arrives to smile about me having played house beautiful and washing them all up in a timely fashion - Done
4. Rejoice and thank the Universe for, happy surprise, nurse supervisor calling to apologize for receptionist screwing up and booking me for exam when insurer will now only pay for gynecology check every two years instead of one - Work still in progress. This joy might last awhile
5. Celebrate being able to get out of these stuffy clothes and into bum around more comfortable ones much sooner than expected due to no longer having to go in and get infiltrated.
6. Re-pack moving boxes in the front room. I was going to re-pack one by one all the stuff in my crummy boxes into the regulation size nice ones they've provided free of charge/are demanding. However it just occurred to me – why. All I have to do is take the already packed full crummy ones, stick them into the much nicer regulation sized ones, tape them closed and voilà! Much, much easier.
7. Have some drunch. This comes when it's too early for dinner, yet way past the time you'd normally have lunch. I've missed breakfast and lunch both and my morning snack plus I haven't had all of my four cups of coffee with half and half yet, just two it's been that busy. I'm famished.
8. Make dessert - lightly sweetened with Truvia whipped cream with mashed up canned fruit, pineapple and mandarin orange segements, folded in.
9. And last but not least, window shop online for nice, affordable things I'll be needing for myself and the grandkids in the new place.

Doctor, pharmacy, post office, check in with my mom and sister.

Keep on keepin' on

now that it's after 5PM, chatting, talking with my beautiful wife and petting my wonderful doggies.

We got home from the food truck festival. It was fabulous and not too crowded. Now to just relax and enjoy the evening.

I had a falaffel sandwich from Holyoke Hummus Co., three pierogies from I forget the name, and a salted caramel whoopie pie from a local pub. Jedi had a lobster roll and pierogies. We had a glass of wine and a beer respectively. It was really good but I wish our stomachs were bigger! So much I wanted to try.

All that's left on my agenda--wait for a baby to arrive!!!

I got my lobster roll. We tried some fabulous pierogies. CCB had a falafel and salted caramel whoopie pie as well. We also had a drink at the beer and wine tent. I did see fist sized meatballs but didn't try them. We met a lot of dogs too. The festival was great and we wore ourselves out. I can't wait til next year.

Our HR/Business Manager is back from maternity leave, and suddenly I have TWICE as much to do, not HALF as I expected. I have:
- my regular work
- other people's regular work
- special projects for my boss
- projects I got "volunteered" for at yesterday's staff meeting.

After all that (or four hours, whichever comes first), I will:
- go home and eat leftover Chinese
- take the doggie out
- get in a nap
- have some dinner
- read a book (well, listen on audio)

Today

I have work to do. I have to do a lecture and get some work done on my dissertation.

I also have a doctors appointment to learn to use my new CGM. which WITH copays cost me over 300 bucks so i Really do NOT wanna fuck it up!

Grocery shopping- check
Work- halfway through
Therapy
Home to feed animals
Bike ride
Cook dinner for family dinner tomorrow
Cook a couple of extra soups to bring to my sister in law for backup since she goes back to work next week.

Prepping for the next 4 days off work!

Before I leave work today I have to hit Costco and the gas station and then I'm heading home early to start knocking down my list <3

Well...for now prepping for class.... this miscellaneous things that popped up along the day so far...

:pursebee:

Here’s a link to a website with a recipe and method that got me started on this.

https://wellnessmama.com/6544/whipped-body-butter/

And here’s what I do...

I weigh and combine the following in a large Pyrex measuring cup:

• 4 oz raw shea butter (found at Amazon, Walmart, many online vendors)
• 4 oz raw cocoa butter (found at Amazon, Walmart, many online vendors)
• 4 oz coconut oil (found at most grocery stores)
• 4 oz olive oil (found at most grocery stores)

Next I put the Pyrex measuring cup in a large pot of hot water to slowly melt the butters with the oils (the shea and cocoa butters are hard). Once or twice I’ll add hot water to the pot and will stir occasionally until everything is melted.

I let it cool on the counter for 15 minutes once everything is melted, then I put the Pryrex cup in the freezer for about an hour or two till it starts to harden on the perimeter.

After it hardens a bit, I pull it out of the freezer and whip it with an emulsion blender for a few minutes until it’s mixed well. And I put it in plastic containers I bought at Amazon.

I learned how to make soap and lotion but you damn near have to be a chemist to make soap and lotion includes water (which can turn to mold if you don’t use the right ingredients). Body butters are easy-peasy to make.

You can add scented essence oils but I don’t.

The older I get the more dry my skin gets and my skin loves this body butter combination. I use it daily after showering.

I hope you didn’t think I used a body :)

Pharmacy, bank, grocery shopping putting together my new wheelie cart, working on an art journal entry, finish cleaning my room. An ambitious day!
