Good morning!

Joe, hopefully 

I'm a bit fatigued and just can't summon any energy.  Hoping the coffee kicks in and I can do something productive.

I hate relatively healthy but the weight didn't budge.  I won't worry about it.  

I meant to say above I ate relatively healthy, not "I hate..."...but sometimes I hate passing up on goodies, like we had this week.  A co-worker brought in homemade cookies and a family member brought us brownies.  Both of which I passed on.

Good luck with your continued weight loss and good lab work Dianah.  Cheating I think overall doesn't affect A1C unless it's frequent.  I didn't know my A1C was going to be checked this last time and I cheated a lot over the holidays.

I did online check in on my app for my doctor's appointment next week.  For some reason there was a diabetes questionnaire.  I answered the questions and came up with "you may have pre-diabetes, talk this over with your MD".  Maybe because of my height/weight thing is usually on the upper end and I'm over 60.  My A1C is 5.0 so phhht on diabetes.  

I'm feeling better but had to lay down.  I think the accumulation of working overtime and not sleeping well for several days added up to me just being wiped out.  

Have some laundry going but not much else getting done yet.  Deciding on hot yoga vs. gym.  The hot yoga class is my choice but the traffic this time of day is miserable.

SIL passed away yesterday. Waiting to hear details of funeral arrangements, but we know it will be in Indiana (she died in Florida). Not relishing taking Gma on that trip but how can we not take her to her daughter's funeral? She has now outlived 2 of her 3 kids. 

dianah, I tried the low-carb pie, using strawberry jello. The tartness of the yogurt does make me think that it would be good in the lime version. Anyway, I like the texture and the flavor is good, though obviously artificial-sweetener-taste.

I also made banana bread as I had been saying for days I would do.  This recipe is not very sweet and in fact has a rather salty flavor. I think next time I'll find a different recipe.

another rainy day. I did get out yesterday and pulled a few weeds between rain showers. today was happy homemaker day. will be leaving soon to plants some flowers for dd, then home for online trivia. I ordered some supplements for arthritis, and some knee sleeves. I'll see a pt next week. 

eldest ds is 45 today. when did that happen?

Had a bad night last night.... I had to get up 6x because I had diarrhea. My first clue was when I lay down and relaxed, I had to urge to fart, and uh-oh....it wasn't air coming out! ? I do have IBS but mine is "D", not "C". And the other day I did eat a good, healthy amount of Tuscan Bean salad. I have also been going through a low, aggravated, irritable couple of days, and my emotions have always landed in my gut...so it is possible both of those things brought on the IBS. (Not like it hasn't happened before.) But between 1 AM and 6:30 AM I didn't get a heck of a lot of sleep....maybe 4 hours between 7 AM and 11 AM . Had a bunch of laundry to do (as you might imagine!) and I had to throw away some undies. Got dressed and then SiL got here to get Nannie for the day. I used the time "off" to go do some shopping, and decided to get some of the items that have been transferred week by week in my brain (notebook)....spent more $ than I wanted to, but now I don't have to carry those things forward to another week in the brain. And that is important because, I have to start a new notebook as of tomorrow!

Here's something I think we all can relate to:

"LAUNDRY SCHEDULE----Wash 40 minutes----Dry 60 minutes----Put Away 7 to 10 business days."

It's time to get Momo and give her the bedtime snack then we will get under the covers and HOPEFULLY sleep well without any, um, intermissions, so to speak!
