I am a gold medal procrastinator, too. I like making schedules. After that, back to procrastinating. I think this will be good for me. My goal is to keep it up for 3 weeks. My backlog of stuff I need to do will be cleared, and maybe I'll end up liking it or form new habits. If my goal is longer than 3 weeks, the schedule will end up in the abyss.

I usually promptly ignore any/all schedules that I make. I have trouble focusing once I get past the "good intentions" part! 😁

I went out for the first time this year after being cooped up since Christmas. Below freezing and my driveway was awful. I had a doctor's appointment for my broken leg then grabbed a nice dinner to go. Now feeling nice and cozy and I'm not going back out anytime soon!

Ok, I will ask. How did you break your leg?

Thanks for all good wishes. Appointment was changed to 2pm. Eight people waiting...

Well the visit was less than satisfactory. I was in and out in ten minutes and I am not quite sure what I am supposed to do.
The surgeon looked and said it has to come off that there was some cancer. I still do not know what to call it. It will take months for thumb to recover as tendon is involved and home care would be required for a while.....or.....I can leave as is as covering is causing infection . Should it not be covered to prevent infection......duh.....I am so confused. He wants to take it off...cash in his pocket of course

Now, as of today, all surgeries are again cancelled at my local hospital so who knows when the surgery will happen and of course I am in lineup for such event. His office will call. Could be six months, could be a year. I could pop my clogs before it gets done....who knows at this point.

I find at this age that doctors, even my family doctor are just not as attentive as they were when I was a few years younger. The number 80 seems to do it. Other friends in my age group say the same thing.

I will call my family Doc to explain things to me ...should I or shouldn't I.

Mizmo......so sorry you're going through this. I hope you don't have to wait to long......but there's those stupid waiting lists.
Not fair.

I know what you mean.....the closest place for me to get cappuccino or coffee, is about 10 miles away from my home. It is major (higher speed) roads the whole way there, no place to walk even if I wanted to.

Still, I love living in the country, so I'm ok with it. We usually go into town once a week (or more), so that is my cappuccino day.

Cappuccino !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll get one, decaf with skim milk.
 
Recovering from a nasty case of Omicron. The wife and I went to an unmasked Christmas party. One of the attendees got sick on the way home, but managed to give it to both of us before she left. We are vaccinated and boosted, but It has been like the worst cold I ever had. Recovering nicely and all will be well -- in a day or two.

Today at 1pm I go to see a surgeon re a ghastly thingie on the front of my thumb ..right hand.
Very very painful and having to use left hand...lots of typos...
Started out as a crusty white pimple size of a small pea and because of location it got knocked and bumped and bled on and off.

Family Doc of course was unavailable for such a small pimply thing even though it was bleeding .
With my history of BCell lymphoma you would think..never mind.....
He said on phone appt. to treat with over counter creams
They did not help at all.

One had to be almost gasping for breath to actually get an in office appointment but finally he gave in an allowed me to visit him in clinic. He said he had never seen anything like it...all red and purple and swollen...wow....neither had I !
Shot it with his liquid nitrogen gun which just made it worse. Prescribed a cream which cost me sixty bucks and it got worse with that. By this time the size of a dime, hard, and the whole thumb inflamed. On antibiotics for a week.
Two weeks ago he says ....thats gotta come off !..really!

I was lucky to get in house appointment with plastic surgeon for his diagnosis
Sooo...wish me luck folks please...

:confused:Thinking of you!!!!!! 💌📬
 
Got up late today. Talked to my counselor on the phone and it was the best session we have ever had. I really liked when she said for me to be gentle and kind with myself. I told her I will be happy to do that.

Went grocery shopping this evening. I thought I had spent a lot since this store tends to be expensive but worth it. Then at the check out I was reminded how much I spend. The most I've spent in a grocery store in many years. I think prices have gone up, too. I didn't care that much as I still have money left for the rest of the month. Next time though I may try to spend less. I did get everything I wanted to and that was good!
 
Up early or is it late as usual.

Bitter cold here!

I made a pot of green beans, mushrooms, onions, and garlic with a ring of kielbasa. A low carb Polish twist on a southern classic usually made with ham and new potatoes.

I wanted a treat so I made a low carb batch of egg cup custard.

2 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
A splash of vanilla and a dash of nutmeg

Divided equally among four custard cups and baked in a bain-marie at 350 for 40 minutes.

That will take care of the cooking for the next few days.

Today I’m taking my wife to the doctors to have her wrist checked. It’s been ten days since she broke it and the gauge is falling off. Needs to be rewrapped. Hope it’s healing okay as she broke it before and it wasn’t set right. She had to have an operation on the wrist again.

Good luck Mrs Pappy, hope everything is healing as it should....🤞
