the hollow chocolate bunnies of the apocalypse


These bunnies.
Not the other bunnies.

Getting tired of the election stuff already.
Have been asked to leave 2 cases
Because they only want Trump Nurses.
The patients ask at the door.
I myself try not to discuss such things during wound care.
Denton is kinda a small town - with growing pains.
They ask many questions!

Got a hair cut the other day, and they were playing 
Contemporary Christian Music overhead.
This was at a Super Cuts or Great Clips -
Or was it Sampson and Delilah -
I don't recall. (lol humor)
That might not happen in Dallas

Not Mines

Def not mines!

About ready to retire the bar stool from my kitchen cooking space.
I can now stand up to cook a meal.
The bar stool has served me well.
Now - to clean up the kitchen!

protein sparing carbs


BP is still good -
Still tweaking the Nootropic stack
To perfectly replicate my beloved Monster Drinks

Made a roast / pork tenderloin 
With Instant Coffee -
OMG it was awesome!

Coffee with Gelatin -
But mostly hot tea

Found out I have HyperMobility 
But I am apparently high functioning -
Just very double jointed. 
I always knew this, but now it has a name.
Having "knock knees" or "locked knees"
Is how the surgeon said I got my TPF.
(Tibial Plateau Fracture)
Much less support for the joints - with HyperMobilty.

More-food-and-no-I-did-not-eat-the-bun

 
Winter is over, and it is time for a hair cut.
I am still trying to tolerate the longer style.
But there is just a day or two between looking ok
And looking unkempt. 

When I was injured, I raised my carb intake to 60 grams per day.
Carbs are "protein sparing," and I had a hard time
Getting help to buy or make food. 
(Let's just say Grub Hub knew me on a first name basis.)
60 probably was not enough to cause inflammation -
And I was already taking Cox Inhibitors / Anti-Inflammatory meds
For pain. So I upped the carbs. And of course, protein.

I never worried about calories. Some days, I had about 800.
Mostly protein, some fat, I ate one meal a day. 
With protein snacks as needed. Anything "ready to eat."
Now that the acute phase of my healing is complete,
I dropped back down to the 20 carb (average range)

Lots of pretty rain -
Looks like mountains - but no - just clouds!

Till Eulenspiegel's Lustige Streiche


Art work in Denton

This is where Time actually goes -
Or comes from - not sure

Chute, Yea
Glad You're Here 
(lol)

Justin, Texas



Every one paints everything here
Starving artists and what not - 

So back to Till

Now, Eulenspiegel had this custom whenever he did some mischief 
Where he was unknown: he took chalk or coal 
And drew an owl and a mirror over the door, 
And underneath wrote, in Latin, Hic fuit!
A lovely story from here (link)

Poor Till 

When you start hearing Till Eulinspiegel, (By Strauss, silly)
You know it is Spring - just as surely as 
When you hear Vivaldi - it must be Autumn!

Now - back to work with ye

7 years low carb


7 years LC and here I get my permanent parking permit

This Tibial Plateau Fracture 
Has been one of the most life-changing events...
And not really in a good way.
Some days I am barely getting by.

Still driving all over the place...
Thank goodness I have a good job that I love -
And don't have to deal with office sociopaths and NutJobs.

Pretty towns

Lots of youthful art

Sugar-Free stuff in all the stores...
7 years ago, this did not exist

I look back on my blog and sometimes cringe! (Mostly)
Sometimes I am amazed at how society has changed...
Keto Diet - BulletProof Coffee
Paleo... LowCarb Paleo
I am glad. But my work here is done.

It is my great joy to help a few people with Diabetes
To learn how to cook the LC way.
Wounds get better faster and people lose weight.
And end up taking much less insulin and medication.

I cheat on my diet and I pay with my blood
Hardly worth it.

Much better option

Pre-Formed Salmon Patties...
Meh - but still amazing that the interest 
In Salmon and Omega 3 is also on the rise.
I remember when I once blogged about it-
And asked 100 nurses what Omega 3 is...
Only 1 nurse could answer....
And she learned about Omega 3 at church....
(They were selling fish oil pills)

So yay - for 7 happy years on LC.
And maintaining a massive weight loss
"At MY age," which I hear more and more often....
*sigh*
