I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Speaking of mammograms, I had mine yesterday. It was a diagnostic mammogram because last year's led to a biopsy. I felt nausea when she kept going over and over the same area but she said nothing's changed since last years so that's good at least. I need to be extra careful cause my mom had breast cancer and my dad died of pancreatic cancer.
And there is still no timeline for things to be fixed either.
I have had Verizon internet for almost a year with no outages to speak of. My previous provider was awful, outages would last for days and they were frequent.
Get your tims? Tims coff ee?
CWillie, thanks for that reminder about keeping some cash.
Not sure exactly what happened. I heard the banks closed.
Are the banks dependent upon a digital provider (a cell phone company?)?
How widespread was this-all the banks, all the cell phones?
What caused this, does anyone know?
Apologies if I got this wrong, my source is iffy, waffely, and not always correct.
Can this happen to the U.S.?
Why is this not in this morning's news?
Hoping everything gets better up Canada way! 🇨🇦
Love from the U.S.A. 🇺🇸
Whether that is for a temporary time, or forever, I do not know.
Today I had to give an important speech. I started off well, and then totally messed up towards the end (kind of like stage fright).
I’m very, very embarrassed.
I wanted to hide, but it was a big room, impossible to hide. Anyway, today is the day after, and I’ve already forgotten it. Many people didn’t notice; and those who did, were kind. There were more events today, so we all met again. Today, I had a great day.
I’m really glad this forum exists. I was so embarrassed yesterday, and this forum (even when it’s just seeing a “like”) (or even just the fact that one has a chance to express oneself; confess embarrassment), one feels better; kindness from others.
For me, practicing/desensitization helps. I notice I'm MUCH improved in my school videos/slide presentations -- not so much improved in how good I am at them, only that I'm beyond the point where I get flustered. I'm able to "roll with it." I credit that ability entirely to practice/desensitization, i.e., confronting the anxiety source repeatedly.
My whine today: I have a gnarly sinus infection. I remembered that I have some colloidal silver sinus spray. It's an OTC product, and it helped get rid of previous chronic sinus infections. I had forgotten about the recurring infections I used to have, and now I don't! Silver linings...
I had terrible dreams all last night. Infections can do that to me. Plus full moon. I have no clue exactly what/why these things happen, only that it feels devastating. :( It isn't, of course, but it's small torture.
So I ordered some sushi with extra-extra wasabi. lol Delivery is on the way now, and I can't wait to burn this infection out through horseradish fumes. lol
Four weeks until I graduate. One day at a time, but you better believe I'm counting them down.
*Just thought to do nasal irrigation with a hydrogen peroxide solution. I think it would help. Any other suggestions? Appreciate it.
Growing up, as kids, we were taught never to put anything up our nose! Lol.
But you can gargle, deep back in your throat. Dilute the H2-O2.
Honk it back, then spit it out. Just like in the movie Titanic, when Jack was teaching Rose how to spit off the bow of the ship.
Feel better soon!
I prefer colloidal silver for any nasal issues.
If you have fairly regular sinus infections, I have infectious allergies 2xs a year, I have found a good cleanse, used a Nettie pot for years and now I use a navage, stops this cycle. Of course, I use CS on a fairly regular basis, for everything. I make it by the gallon.
Please use the CS and take lots of vitamin C, no more internet cures girlfriend!
I have the shiver me timbers thinking about hydrogen peroxide hitting that infection in a nasal cavity. I hope you are okay.
