How is your day Today, plans and achievements 2024....

[Capt Lightning]

Good morning Jet. Why the picture of an empty plate. Is it to show that you've been a good boy and eaten up all your food ?
I generally just have cereal and toast for brekkies.

Dull and miserable here. Cold but flat calm (before the storm?) and a forecast of rain. I have to go and order a top-up of heating oil. Another expense I could do without.

Morning,wet windy,anotjer storm approaching,just been for breakfastView attachment 326748

Looks like it was a good one!

 

[katlupe]

I feel somewhat better today. Shoulders must have needed that rest because they do not hurt right now. Just having my coffee. Later I will try again to get to that laundry room. I usually check it out when I go out to the dumpster on my way back upstairs. If it not busy, I will get the laundry done today. Other than that not sure about the rest of my day.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Woohoo! It's 44 here. Really. Forty-four! I got to sit on the patio to drink my coffee. I don't even mind that it's supposed to start raining any minute and will rain all day. Well...don't mind right now but will probably whine about it later

It is 33 degrees here ,to get higher this afternoon , but I am staying home today, as they expect rain/snow mix, and I have plenty to do at home. I got out yesterday and it was beautiful, in the low 20s, but that is nothing when you live where I live.
It was minus 4 wind chill when I cleaned my car off, on Sunday.

Big day tomorrow. Son is home, I will be going to him; we will pick up grandson, play, go to his make up Ninja Warrior class (couldn't go last week as he fell on his face at school!), have dinner. AccessARide, of course, the thought of which makes me sick and fearful.

Speaking of tomorrow as I wonder now how I will have the strength. Woke up, 62 blood sugar, feeling weak and musing on whether I am able to go anywhere, anytime. So exhausted I wonder how I'll be able to pull myself together for something I really want. Hopefully, really wanting will give me the necessary energy I will need.

You're having something to eat, pepper, right?

I barely eat, have very poor appetite.

Would eating something with sugar in it help?

Do you ever get those protein drinks?
Don't waste away pepper.

I did have apple juice, and it is gradually working.

Ensure tastes awful to me. I investigated, and most don't offer much protein for the price they are asking. Don't know why I have no appetite. Wish I didn't have an appetite when I was single---all those years in the gym and dieting, why didn't I just stop eating?

eta
of course, I'm single NOW, but who cares anymore?

I agree about Ensure. There are some good ones. I don't know which off hand.
What about soups and/or broths?

 

[hearlady]

I woke up early, not the middle of the night, but almost time to get up, then I dozed back off.
When I do that I will often times wake up from dreams that I can remember.
I'll go back over it in my mind so I can relate it even though they are so disjointed, weird, funny, or disturbing. Rarely nightmares.
I heard the other day that babies dream in the womb. What do you suppose they dream about?
The vast universe they came from?

@Pepper I drink a bottle of Ensure every work day morning because it seems like I should have something, and who wants to eat anything at 4am... I get chocolate Ensure Max. It's the least objectionable and provides 30g of protein. Today's not a work day so I had two eggs (only 6g protein in an egg!) and toast. Won't be hungry again before suppertime. The older I get, the less I get hungry at all.

So far, since getting up at 5:30 (because Maggiecat took pity on me and let me sleep), I've made the bed, cleaned Maggie's litter box, eaten breakfast. Now I'm trying to make myself take a shower, shampoo my hair, get dressed, wash dishes and blue my hair. I don't wanna do any of it. I wanna be a layabout today. In jammies.

The rain has started.

@hollydolly Is your house totally electric? That is, electric heat as well?

No , I have gas central heating but it needs electric for it to come on ....plus the fire in my fireplace is Electric too.....not that I ever use the latter....why do you ask ?

Some of those drinks, if you mix them with milk, they are a bit better. Not as sweet or strong.
I bought some Premier Protein Salted Caramel to have on vacation, in case. Too strong straight but good in a smoothie mixed with milk.

 

[Pepper]

only 6g protein in an egg???????

 

[Sliverfox]

Hope to bake some cookies today.
Maybe tidy the house.

An over cast day here ,in the mid 30s, chance of ran to make roads slippery.

 

[hawkdon]

Morning earlybirds!!! I'm up and not at em this morning...it
is 33F outside, rained a bit overnite, but too warm I think for
ice, at least here in my area...kinda poorly feeling this morn but
what the heck, each day I find what I'm s'posed to feel like
at the new age I am each day.....does that make sense..LOL...
no big plans yet, laundry finished, now to clean me, also got
to call barberess to come take off my pretty locks LOL...catch u later on.......

 

[hollydolly]

Horrible dreich day... steady rain... dull and grey but thankfully no wind... and fortunately we've not got the second storm that the rest of the country is getting today...Storm Jocelyn is causing chaos around the rest of the country..

here in the South apparently we're the only ones not getting it....so I hope none of my fellow Brits here have been affected....

 

[Georgiagranny]

@hollydolly The mention by @Capt Lightning of ordering heating oil is what made me think of it. I can understand electric start for your gas heat, but once it's on, does the fan really use so much electricity that it makes using the heat too expensive?

 

[Purwell]

I have now been refused Hospital transport.
I was eligible on Friday but not for tomorrow!

I can probably make it by public transport but not on my own.

Going to write to my MP, wish me luck.
