CELESTE- DH likes to shop for antiques. He found a little table, and I got a mission-style plant stand/bookshelf thing and an old wooden oval picture frame. The bookshelf/stand will fit in the tiny entryway at the faux rental. My friends are joking that I'm treating the place like a life-size doll house.
Will definitely keep Bob in my prayers. With all the years DH worked out in the sun without sunscreen, I always worry about skin cancer. Our doctor checks him out every year and says there aren't any spots that give her concern.
My cat is 6 days in on his antibiotic but still has blood in his urine. I will try to call the vet next week and see if he needs to be seen again.

CONNIE Bob just hates to go shopping period I guess. Except he LOVES to shop for clothes for himself. So he's on his own there.
I had a cat w/ blood in her urine, took abx and responded quickly.
Had a dog w/ blood in his urine, took abx, still bloody and it turned out he had this WEIRD bladder stone. It looked a lot like one of those prickly round things that fall from Sycamore trees. Had to have it removed and I kept it for ages b/c it looked extraterrestrial.
Thx for prayers Connie and Louise. IF he can tolerate it, I'm hopeful that eventually this will be the 'cure' but I'm not hopeful about his tolerating it. One of the big side effects is skin rashes and he tried a different chemo-therapeutic agent (oral) and it gave him cellulitis so he barely made it thru a week. This is IV every 3 weeks. Who knows, maybe it will be better than I'm anticipating. I'm not telling HIM that I'm concerned, as he's a bit of a hypochondriac and he'll start feeling every untoward effect known to man. Funny he has enough REAL stuff wrong w/ him... no need to be hypochondriacal.
Still waiting on the lights guy. I can't find his phone number. That's what I get for writing it on a napkin! Then have people over for dinner and use paper napkins LOL. (not going thru post-THX trash)
LOUISE BOB is getting antsy watching the Bama Auburn game.

Back on the grid....we got home mid afternoon today after a nice time at DDs. Got unpacked, put up our outside Christmas lights, & then went out for a bite to eat & do a few errands.
Oh Celeste....another bambino!! Congratulations to all! Little Roland will have a cousin close in age ...what fun! Bob will be in my prayers....boy...he has certainly been thru a lot already.
Louise...congrats on your nice loss!! And yum on the pizza! Sometimes you just have to! We took par baked pizza from our local fave to dds on Wed....they were thrilled!
Becky....I’ll be interested to see how you like the Instant pot. Great price! My ds really likes his & uses it often. I just don’t know if I would use it ... something in my kitchen would need to go!
Sandy....sounds like a nice day for you today. So much followup to take care....a little at a time.
Connie....some great antiquing finds for you!
Size....6 looooong weeks, right? How is it feeling? Better I hope.
Steph...you were brave to go to the mall yesterday! We ventured out to Walmart for a bit....about all there is in small town MN....but found some things & not crowded either.
More than enough good food over the holiday....enjoyed every bite. DH & stopped at Fazoli’s for lunch on the way home today....had not been there in ages. Now to get back on tomorrow....will most likely to have some damage control to do!
Better find my bed....need to catch up on some 💤💤💤💤
Good night!

LOUISE Bob was NOT a happy camper. And he kept saying how terribly they were playing. That was NOT a #1 team out there on the field.
SANDY nice that you have a good visit w/ a friend. And seems like you're jumping back on the diet wagon. Sorry you can't pull me up because I'm apparently running in the OPPOSITE direction.
ANGIE I have to say that the IP for me wasn't a great investment. For most of the pressure cooker things it's a PITA (since I don't ever cook beans). Like put the meat in, bring up to pressure, cook x minutes, release pressure, add veggies, bring back up to pressure, cook x minutes. So I keep using it as a slow cooker function. Just dump and go. The SINGLE best thing for me is I can sear the meat in the same pot as I slow cook it. But that was a dumb reason to buy it. As I said, if I ate beans more often, Like at BECKY's house, that alone might be reason enough.
I went to Walmart this evening w/ Bob. It was a GHOST TOWN! Not a single person in line in front of us. Not ONE person in the self-check lines either. WOW.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO about that PIZZA THAT LOUISE MADE ME EAT!! (hahaha)
You know how you build something up in your head? Went to my very fave pizza place. We each got an individual pizza, so mine was exactly the way I love it (veggie w/ anchovies). I didn't even eat half. It seemed so much better in my mind.
So I've been reading up as much as I can find on the new WW plan which it seems will be called FREESTYLE. I'm kind of 'off' the LCHF as I was religious about it. Bob OTOH cheated daily and lost like a fiend. I lost a ton the first week and gained and gained and gained. I'm totally in ketosis b/c if I pee any more purple on the keto strips I'll be peeing grape juice! Obviously NOT the plan for me and now I'm in a carb death spiral.
So if i can work the protein and eat more veggies (I miss massive salads and tons of veggie soups on LCHF), maybe I can do better on WW... maybe not. Last year when I lost the 35 (more than half of which I've gained back) it was on WW but I had the super annoying leader here at Frisco Lakes who kept showing us photos of her REALLY ugly family who had NOTHING to do w/ WW. So I'll be going same time, same date, but driving 25 min instead of walking 4 minutes, in order to get a different leader. I've had this gal before and she's GREAT.
And I think I want to join BEFORE they roll out the new plan when everyone and his brother will show up.
Hey... I don't like it? I don't keep going. I just hate hate hate tracking, measuring and POINT COUNTING but it is what it is.
Off to read in bed. i've had several AWFUL nights sleep so I may take a Klonipin.
Night all.

CELESTE- I'm right there with you on the carb death spiral. Yesterday after carrot cake for breakfast, we ate burgers, fries and huge shakes for lunch, then we met friends for dinner at a pizza place. I had an Italian sub with fries and a HUGE mug of Bud Light. The sub was Ginormous and I ate all but the last bite or two and I polished off 2/3 of that beer. Much worse than my eating on Thanksgiving day which was bad enough.
Just got back back from the grocery store. Tho I bought tons of veggies, I also bought the ingredients for Ruben sandwiches. Will make them on 45 calorie bread and use thin sliced cheese. Oh, crap! Just realized I forgot the thousand island dressing. Oh well, I need to stop at Rite Aid for allergy medicine later, so will check the food aisle there to see if they have it.
Want to spend most of the afternoon on a combo of cooking for the week and quilting.

SANDY did I mention that while Meridith was here I made us all frambled eggs for bkfst. She's not a huge egg lover, but will eat both fried or scrambled. She went back for THIRDS on the frambled. Even after thy were cold.
CONNIE you can fake Thousand Island so easily. Mayo, pickle relish, catsup, a bit of grated onion if you have one, and a touch of vinegar. I love 1,000 island and seems I always have to throw it together myself.
I don't know if it's all the carbs I've been having but my entire stomach is having sharp pains esp right above where the bladder is. This has happened in the past and eventually (days) went away on its own. it kept me awake most of the night, it's that bad. And right now it's really bad b/c I think I 'm a bit "concentrated" as Bob's son said for constipated. I feel "not so good". Drinking coffee and hoping for action or else I'll throw down some miralax now and some at night. UGH.
My lights guy is on the roof (didn't know he was there until Bob mentioned it).
Watching QVC again. Not buying anything but I get such a kick out of "DAVID". He's so adorably dorky and gay and goofy. I want one!! haha

Celeste....ugh in the GI issues / pain. Seems like you just can’t quite get ahead of that for long. Don’t you see a specialist soon? Your thoughts on the instant pot are the same as mine....& ds did say that as far as using it as a crock pot, sometimes it just isn’t big enough. I think I can continue to live quite happily without one.
Sandy....loved the pic of your dgks....a beautiful bunch! And like all of ours, growing up so fast! Kind of wish we could freeze time for at least awhile.
Connie....are you quilting your own or for customers? Hope you get lots done today!
Catch up day here....laundry & clutter for me, crunching leaves for Rick. Need to get my game plan for the next month laid out...it is going to be a blur with Dgds birthday party next weekend, a hunting trip the next weekend, the retirement celebration on Dec 15, followed by Christmas here with the whole crew! Yikes!! Sure is a good thing i’m Retired....but I think i’m going to have to get myself functional before 10 a.m. like I have gotten used to in order to get everything done 😳

ANGIE I was just getting really cocky about my gut and thought I'd have little to say to the GI guy next week. WRONG. Is it the rampant addition of the carbs? Maybe. THough there were plenty of times on Keto/Paleo I had good weeks and bad weeks.
Though all your Christmas festivities sound great as individual endeavors, put that all together and I'm EXHAUSTED thinking of it.
LOUISE David's been on a LOT for the holidays. He just makes me smile and when he does his dorky stupid HAPPY DANCE I just light up and I'm all "BOB BOB.... HE'S DOING HIS DORKY HAPPY DANCE."
Watching episode 4 of Stranger Things. i am TOTALLY digging it. Bob likes it too.
I need to get to the store for more coffee for tomorrow. I buy Community Coffee w/ Chicory. I assumed no one would want that b/c it's so dark and so bitter. Who knew? Even my DD and DSIL were all over it. I got them Peets and McCafe but they drank my chicory! Bob hates it. I mainline it. Also maybe some more Miralax b/c I think maybe I got constipated overnight if that's possible. Yesterday.. FINE. Last night... pain. Today... "concentrated". I took 2 dose of ML this Am but want to take another at night. It was also what my GI AND new internist said was best for me to take.
