CHECK-IN: Thankful THURSDAY 2/28/2019 - All are WELCOME!

I'm in too. Getting coffee and getting the morning going. Cooler temps and no fog; I'll take it!

I'm in. Morning all.

Slow to get moving on this sunny, cold morning. We got a fresh dusting of snow overnight that will melt in no time.
A typical Thursday on tap. Grilled chicken for dinner.

Enjoy the day!

I went to the phlebotomist this morning to prepare for my annual physical happening in a bit over the week. It went quickly since I had an appointment, plus it was quiet there at 7:45 am, which it often isn't.

Today should be quiet and hopefully pleasant.

Good morning. I’m in.

lmenglish, “dental superintendent” Is autocorrect is working overtime again???

neen, so nice you have your dog cam to monitor the pets throughout the day.

I made it through the colo prep and here I am. I can drink fluids for about another hour. Despite what my endocrinologist and I thought, the challenge has not been controlling high blood sugar but keeping the blood sugar up. The CGM (continuous glucose monitor) gives me good insight to the last 24 hours, and it is interesting to see how sugar-laced beverages raise the BS and how long it takes to recover—not as long as I would think. So I’m a bit concerned with what the BS will do from 7:30 AM until 1 or 2 PM. I plan to super-load sweet beverages before 7:30.

And the insight I’ve gained is this: sugar, without being mixed with fat and flour into something yummy, is not something that is truly enjoyable. Since my instructions say I can use sugar and honey, I laced my first cup of coffee with 2 Tbsp. of sugar to start the BS rise; I am not enjoying this cuppa!

That’s it for now. Keep safe and warm and KOKO.

borntexan you know how they forecast here, everyday says rain but whether or not we actually get any is a different story and when it does it usually is just that drizzly crap then a few minutes of real rain lather rinse repeat.

LMAO linda72 ! They go all the way around my backyard and my folks have them circling their house. My dad used to do their house but now I thought I would do it for them, I saw a small one (14" electric) over at Harbor Frieght when I grabbed a pressure washer. They already have one of those huge ones but I can't lift it up and they scare me too. 🤣🤣🤣 this is more like a junior tykes chainsaw.

So I am guessing this isn't the right tool for the job?! At least I got the date right on when to do it. It is like when I first got here from CA and used the wrong stuff to plant the 14 azaleas and they all died. (They freaking grow wild here, EVERY house has them, except good old mint killers house.)


* I guess I should do full disclosure and maybe amend that "pro" part. So I got 2 done with the chainsaw but then the chain popped off the guide bar, even though it was "ready to go right out of the box." So all last night I watched and read more YouTube videos than I care to remember on how do put it back together.

It is actually pretty simple but the blade thingy is like angled now and I could have sworn it was straight and I can't find any pics that are straight on to see what it is supposed to look like. Oy.

DebDoesWW,- picturing you with a chainsaw and then repairing it has me in a mixture of giggles, awe and fear! I love it.

I put the scale away for a few weeks. Just got it out and saw I'm down about a pound. I need to get serious. My clothes are getting really tight and I am NOT going into a bigger size!

Had to call 911 for a student yesterday she was having extreme stomach pain, very lethargic and was PALE!!! turns out she had appendicitis and had surgery last night. Glad that we caught it and she's OK but it was very scary.
