labs day

A wee bit low. 

But I’m completely asymptomatic. 

I have labs today. 

So I don’t want to eat. 

I’ll be ok. Disclaimer. 

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

Ukraine is crazy right now. 

And no NATO Allies in the mix. 

What the hell? 

long streak

Lol I dreamed that I broke in

To someone’s house 

and ate some old garlic bread

I found in their fridge. 

It was stale. I didn’t care. 

I hunkered down to hide

And rammed it in my mouth

Like Oliver Twist scarfing down the same. 

Then I escaped - Tom Cruise style

And then went back for more! 

Time to end the fast. 

For the first time in a while

I can say with certainty 

I have maintained the integrity 

Of my boundaries 

And not cheating-even one bit. 

The blue box is pure days. 

This is actually February 

Going in to March. 

I started on the 15th. 

The green is eating days. 

The rest is fasting days. 

Amen. 

Long live Jambi. 

This “serious look”

Isn’t good on me. 

I look like a serial killer

Or deranged professor. 

Lol. 

Onward and Downward! 

back to cool day

Well with trump in office

We had to look on the phone 

First thing in the morning 

To see what calamity occurred overnight. 

Seems we’re back to that. 

The world is changing exponentially. 

But people always say that. 

For my mom’s generation,

A house was $10,000

A fancy house was $30,000

A Buick was $2000 -

The last of the big spenders. 

So don’t fall off that wagon now! 

Double down. 

Sleep hygiene. 

Good food. Exercise. 

Keep on. 

Being out of shape won’t help us cope. 

This is me walking in place a few minutes. 

Every minute counts. 

Siri says my cold is almost over. 

Must be on the mend. 

I jabbed myself with scissors 

And it’s healing nice. 

Hand wounds are hard to keep clean. 

Tea. Not Covefe. 

Watching my ulcers. 

Something g warm. 

I’m cutting back on caffeine. 

I used to take a week off coffee 

A few times a year- per Atkins’72. 

And really- why not? 

 

Just say no! 

When you’re tempted 

Have a plan and talk to yourself and say 

Get outta here with that crap! 

Back to basics every day. 

Might as well have some fun. 

back to school day

More or less good sleep. 

TMI alert! 👀 

I had to practice kegeling

Because of coughing! 

So far, so good. 

In nursing school, they taught us

To kegel at every traffic light. 

So 30 years of that… thank goodness! 

I wanted to get up early and walk. 

But there’s so much ice yet. 

I’ll walk in place today. 

Fashion-Ista that I am. 

Calm sleep aid. 

This is Magnesium Carbonate. 

Not the very best Magnesium. 

Pro Tip - Don’t take too much 

Or you’ll see the inside of the bathroom, 

More than the inside of your eyelids. 

Just sayin’ though 

It’s not as bad as magnesium citrate.

My humble abode 

for the next few nights. 

I’m glad I can still get up from the floor. 

Don’t take anything for granted. 

Unless you granted it to yourself. 

Still Snaking.

I call this snake plus 

Because I have coffee. And Monster. 

Stats now. Green light! 

Maybe not green. Solid yellow. 

Still amazing what the Apple Watch can do. 

Now Siri is telling me I’m better. 

And I actually am! 

Yesterday was plain awful. 

You can say that again. 

But that not now - that’s then! 

Colds last about a week. 

No fever-  just a runny nose. 

Russia and Ukraine. 

War in the city. Very scary. 

Putin threatening retribution 

“The likes of which the world has never seen …”

Which is an effective catch phrase 

Used by all politicians these days. 

Ted Cruz, Idiot Trump, now Vlad.  

My takeaway is to stock up on meat

And don’t buy stocks. 

We might not see WW3 

But this with COVID 

CAN’T be good. 

The company I have worked for

For 5 years just started offering 

Stock options and 401k. 

I signed up for both and ended up 

Being too enthusiastic. 

Half my check was gone!  

Lol live and learn. 

Stark! 

Ever since last year’s 

Rolling Black Outs in Texas,

I always carry a light, a charger pack,

And clothes. 

I look like an old man conductor 

For a symphony. Lol. 

Crazy Hair And All. 

ice day

Calm Magnesium plus Melatonin 

Equals my happy spot 

My single goal this year 

Is to raise my HRV. 

It counts more than BP. 

And mine is low. 

Walking in place when I can’t take a walk. 

Even with these numbers 

it’s still better than it was 

Time for Tea. 

No cups. Used a bowl. 

Ice Ice Baby

Texas has Summer Roads. 

We get rain but not too much snow. 

We’re never ready for ice. 

It’s not because we’re  bad drivers. 

The Infrastructure isn’t set up for this. 

This is Black Ice. 

You won’t see it till you’re sliding   

Day Time Cold Medicine. 

I never used cold medicine 

until a few years ago. 

It’s pretty joyful. 

It does contain Advil. 

So I have to be super careful. 

So many Fatties (and Ex-Fatties) are sick puppies. 

So many people in general as walking wounded. 

All we eat is junk. 

We don’t walk or stretch like we should. 

We have crap lives. 

And no one really understands

What anything is for. 

After a year of studying HRV

I don’t get it and no one makes sense. 

And I’m a Nurse! 

You’d think I would get it. 

I’ve said before 

And I end up saying it again. 

We need more sleep,

Less less blue light, more sun;

Most of us are sub-clinically 

Malnourished, dehydrated 

Anxious, toxic messes. 

Or depressed. 

Completely out of touch. 

How to fix it?
