What's everybody doing today?

[snappy1]

I hope today is your new "quit" day @OldSchool ! For DH it was easier to not have to quit again. Once was enough!

It will be getting up to 77 degrees today, so I will walk in a few minutes.
Will deliver the cheesecake that I made yesterday.
Do one load of laundry.
Finish putting together inversion table for DH. Hopefully we will finish today!
Maybe make chocolate chip cookie dough for future cookies (and freeze some)

This morning I need to get over wanting a drink. I've been out of work for too long.... restless.... rant. I'm gonna get 1/2 a pint and get over it. That'll remind me why I quit, then I'll take care of some pain in ass business. I got enough done at home, for now.

Don't do it!!! Try some medical marijuana. It helped me get over my addiction to prescription xanax for my anxiety. I am ok now
Much better for your health and is not addictive, plus cheaper if you grow it yourself. Seriously, I think most States now have medical mj laws , at least try it.

Today is going to be a busy day for me. When I go out I'm going to buy some beer, I have exactly 1 can left. Then mail a bill for my SF, buy 280 lbs of bird food & I'm sure that my wife will have me do at least one other thing when I'm out. I've got to transfer & mix the bird food to 2 garbage cans for storage. I'm not looking forward to that because a couple of days ago I moved 900 lbs of dirt to my planters & I'm getting to old for that stuff. (I treat sore muscles & back pain with the beer). Late this afternoon I have an auction that I'm going to bid on with 8 or 9 items coming up we want. Oh & my wife & I have to go through those items before the auction.

Hang tough, have some coffee, the urge will pass. Don't ask how I know

Just got an Ilumya shot this morning. Get one every 3 months. My chemo triggered a minor psoriasis. Only have 2 spots about the size of a nickel.

This afternoon, I go to the dermatologist for my yearly checkup. Hopefully I'll not be getting Ilumya very much longer.

I never understood what it takes to be an alcoholic or a drug addict. Sure I've gone out and got tanked up many times over the years, but never felt that I needed a drink. I've never used dope so I don't know anything about that crap. Now I enjoy a mixed drink occasionally and a shot of good scotch. At several hundred dollars a bottle I never drink more than a shot or two, and only every few months.
Whatever you need to do oldschool I think you'd be much better off without that crutch. Sometimes a person might have to look pretty hard, but life really is good.

Just looked out the back window and the chimney on the fur shed is completely covered in snow. I need to go up there and build a hot fire to melt the snow around the chimney. May have to climb up and shovel the snow off the roof too.
The snow is over the top of some of our fences now. No sign of it letting up either.

I don't know, sounds a little wild over there right now! I have a better idea!! I'll come, but we will take off on a gal's week vacation instead!! I bet we'd have a lot of fun!!

Road Trip!! We will watch the sunset on the west coast and fix the world over a cuppa!

Couldn't stay awake for more than 2hrs at a time yesterday. But last night I emptied kitchen trash and put a new bag in. Been having trouble lifting things. Combo of my meds can cause muscle weakness. I'm going to try some other supplements to help with that and I talked to the pharmacy and had them flag glimepiride and all sulfa drugs as not safe for me. Apparently they only had sulfa antibiotics on their list so it didn't flag it. I'll have to schedule an appointment with the doctor to talk to him and let him know why I dropped that med. I also need to exercise more.

I sneezed about 10x in a row and have had a lot of mucus and then realized flowers are blooming again so pollen is in the air.

I need to clean litterboxes and do some cleanup in the kitchen but need a nap first. Grabbed some beef stew from a local place and we all ate. Will have to help my brother with making soup later since he lacks motivation. I'll try to get the recipe from him. I know it uses boneless skinless chicken thighs, swanson chicken broth, onion powder (since fresh onions make me ill), garlic salt, Hungarian sweet paprika, and mixed frozen vegetables. I cut the chicken up with scissors (then thoroughly wash them afterward) and he cooks it all up in the pressure cooker. Once it is poured into a bowl we add some sour cream. My mother used to make something similar but she boiled a whole chicken, did not add veggies, and added a drop noodle instead. Sort of like a salty dumpling that you drop into boiling water from a spoon. I need to figure out how to make it. My last attempt didn't go well. LOL.

survived the shopping trip and physical therapy for my foot. She said it was actually not that bad looking and with the correct stretching I might get back to normal, so that's good. She also told me to continue doing yoga since some of that is helpfull, but also I need to do other stretches specifically for calf muscles and feet

We spent a ton of money on shopping but filled up 2 full carts at walmart and 1 large cart at TP , plus got propanes refilled. The entire Traverse was full to the top! Prices were normal, no weird stuff yet shelves were full. We both got new tennis shoes since old ones are about to fall apart, $20 each made in China, comfortable and ok looking. I specifically got imported things today that we use all the time: canned coconut milk, Jasmin rice ( like I don't have a few hundred pounds already LOL) , ginger , pickeled ginger, seaweed, bamboo shoots, siracha , coffee, the rest was just regular groceries
I also got a lot of plastic stuff I need for the market ( bag, plastic wrap, parchment paper) , the prices of those types of things has gone up a ton but this already happened last year and year before. I remember paying 99 cents for a box of sandwich bags, now they are over $5 ! Garbage bags were around $10, those used to be around $3 before covid
Chicken still at around 2.50 a pound, that has not gone up as much. Beef, astronomical!!! Good thing we have goat and lamb. I can't imagine paying $20 for a potroast, that used to cost around $5 or less

Just took dog for a short hike

Did not cook today, nor did I do dishes, no time

We just drove the side by side down to check the mail. The mailman hasn't been up here for a couple days. Made it down easy but it was a struggle coming back up.
Me and Tracker are up in the fur shed now trying to get a fire started. The chimney is completely buried in the snow, so I'll probably need to climb up on the roof and dig it out.
