Thes no such thing 

as a quiet housemate. 

Preparing for a full snake juice fast 

Cut out forbidden carbs and junk. 

No bites. None! 

In a world of pizza and candy, 

You have to be disciplined. 

Bought these months ago. 

No temptation to even open them. 

And I only had a handful. 

Leftover steak. 

3 days work isn’t enough. 

12 hour shifts. 

So full time work isn’t enough. 

Everyone has 2 jobs. 

Keep up. 

best sleep ever

I have finally achieved perfection 

In the realm of sleep. The rules are:

1) no wine, beer, or booze at all 

2) no food past 6 pm

No caffeine past 4 pm

3) melatonin and magnesium 

Alia-Seltzer for heartburn 

4) walk every day to get

 your daytime heart rate up 

5) be tired as hell. 

You’re welcome. 


Same size, same company-

One fits- one doesn’t. 

Crap. Sending things back 

Is such a hassle. 

First Works Problems. 

Back to Pediatrics. 

Pediatric-tricks. 

Not sure what part of the goat this is. 

But I’m quite sure 

I won’t be having any. 

This- on the other hand-

Yes. Thanks. 

The family no longer offers me sweets. 

That’s good. 

How did your Thanksgiving go? 

Soul-searching times. 

I think I found one. 

I also started a budget. 

Which means tracking. 

No changes first. 

Just tracking. 

Changes come later. 

a great-full day

Yesterday’s drive to work. 

It’s raining today. 

In case you don’t know

This is what Hospice looks like. 

We have a hard back chair 

But I usually stand. 

Much of the shift. 

Usually 12 hour shifts

Quiet time at the bedside 

Of a dying person. 

The lights are often subdued. 

And it’s quiet. 

The TV is on but not loud enough to hear. 

Just as often, there’s no TV. 

No breaks - it’s just you. 

So I usually fast. 

Or drink a Protein Shake. 

And work on quiet things. 

So today I’m grateful for ...

The Interstellar Blends!

I think that Trinity came 

At just the right time. 

I’m grateful for Low Carb! 

I can’t imagine 10 years have gone by. 

My vision is getting better 

And I’m getting better. 

I’m grateful for Sleeping!

No wine made all the difference. 

I’m grateful for everyone 

Who stops by to check in 

And read here...

Thanks for being here! 

hospice job

I sleep much better now/

Knowing the decision has been made. 

It’s staffing agency so

I got the job. 

Now- to work the shifts!

A little treat. 

Oh Blanche-

My Blood Glucose 

After a so called treat. 

One hour PP.

Even when it wasn’t lLow Carb. 

So my healing window is closed. 

2 hours PP

Still not good enough. 

That 1 hour spike in concerning.

On the way to the staffing company

A good sign - Hospice 

Corporate America s Finest. 

It’s a huge commitment 

But one I need to do. 

Picking up extra says. 

I still have some credit card debt

Which it like throwing money away. 

I want to be completely free

When I travel. 

cooking with pete

T bones 

Add fire. 

Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup

Back to meal prep for the week. 

Pete found these containers 

12 ounce and 16 ounce

In a Restaurant Supply Place. 

No worries if you leave one behind. 

day off with pete

I was so sleepy 

I fell asleep with the lights on

In my scrubs

With the Apple Watch 

On the charger. 

Woke up at 3 and realized 

What I had done. 

Mornings off are my favorite. 

I thought this was funny 

But it got mixed reviews 

When I showed it to a friend. 

She has a odd sense of humor. 

Breakfast. 

I do much better 

When I skip it altogether. 

I was starving by evening. 

Pete is coming today 

And is going to help me 

Clean the garage. 

I also have my first

life coach session today.
