none too smart

Boss cooked Chicken Bryanni 

On Spaghetti Squash 

In the Instant Pot 

(Which I told her to get)

5 years ago. 

Working on my morning routine. 

Still do my knee work. 

Now it also involves hip work 

And sciatica work. 

Waiting for the vitamins to kick in. 


I once thought a good goal 

Would include a degree 

And a spacious house

With tons of time for leisure and travel. 

Now, I’m just glad to be in a small space

With some good food and 

People who don’t fight. 

I once thought that being Vocational

In any field was for people 

Who couldn’t get a “real” job. 

Now I understand 

That IS a real job. 

Next up- next big goal-

I want to make yogurt!

Not sure if life is good? 

Or boring?

Or if I’m just practicing my serenity

In a fucking crazy world. 

4700 steps yesterday. 

QOD fasting starts this week!

Alternate Day Fasting for September. 

random meme day

Not a meme per se. 

But it sure is hot for late August. 

I want my baby back

Gotta get the sun 

Every day. 


Mmmmm

Fish for Cats. 

The cats never get as much attention 

As when I’m on standby 

For the baby to come home. 

After cashing in some odd coupons

I’m ready for home cooking 

Exclusively now. 

Did Jugo get his?

Lol. Rotten puns. 

I am also quite good at solitaire. 

And I have over 4000 Facebook friends. 

Which means nothing. 

In real life. 

Except for being 

“That Nurse who lost all the weight!”

Seen here in my new Purple Medium Scrubs. 

Because I guess the regain/ relapse rate

Is kinda scary. 

That’s why I still keep this blog going. 

It might help someone. Somewhere. 

Goodness knows, I’ve had a relapse or two. 

10 or 15 pounds shows up 

On me since I’m so short. 

5’2”. I’m almost a Little Person. 

Not good to be toting around 

All that weight. 

Hey Fatty! 

gregarious

Got into a nice conversation 

With the butcher today. 

Nothing to do but cook. 

And eat. 

I spent an hour in the office today. 

Chatting up the recruiters 

Like I always do. 

Oil change and all that Jazz. 

Chatted up the salespeople

And was entertained

By a lively octogenarian 

Who was once a Hollywood actor. 

Watching an old movie 

about revenge and forgiveness. 

“Changing Lanes.”

Have you seen it?

Two guys get into a fight. 

Over a fender bender. 

They both fight their demons 

And come to terms with the situation 

And forgive each other. 

Soooo.....28 years ago 

 - to the day - to the minute - 

My life changed forever. 

Tuesday for Tuesday 

Repeats every 4 years.

I was told I was gregarious. 

I could handle anything. 

Most days - I’m not. 

I’m the opposite of gregarious. 

But today. Just For Today. 

Perhaps I am!

impromptu day off

Pediatric Home Health Nursing

Means you sometimes have

A spontaneous day off

When a kiddie gets sick

And goes to Hospital. 

Goes to THE Hospital, 

if you’re American. 

But look at the traffic. 

Everything is completely shut down. 

I give up on this traffic. 

It makes a difficult situation 

Nearly unbearable. 

War torn Bosnia? 

Yemen? Syria? 

Nope. Downtown Dallas. 

What once was my favorite 

I can now barely stand. 

Sunbathing and covfefe. 


Pretty. Not sure what it is. 

A pretty berry bush 

Leftovers. 

Not sure this is really even food. 

Time to dump the junk drawer 

And reorganize the junk drawer. 

But first, some bonding.  

Mommy! I love you! 

I’m certain I heard him right.

I slept 12 hours. 

That’s a good night! 

😴
