Do you live in a bayou forest? Sounds like morning wood...

I wondered if I should share this with my husband????
naw

I think that I have figured out on piece of this drinking habit of mine.
Have been stopping by fat pats after work to have a beer or two before I go home. But when I am there I immediately get on my phone and go to facebook and spend a half an hour on there while having my beers.
I used to drink at the house but got out of the habit of that.
Today when I got home I actually changed my clothes and raked leaves in the front yard 3 barrels of magnolia leaves that are like a rubber plant leaves very leather like.I stopped raking just before getting blisters like last time. I also pulled a few weeds in flower beds and pulled some ivy that was making its way up the outside brick wall.
Our friends were so nice to us. Dan tidied up the back patio and bought us this beautiful planter today of double hot pink blossoms. He started up our fountain making it nice to sit out there and hear the trickling water.
So what was great about today...I worked for a couple of hours, The temperature was perfect. And it was dry enough that I did not sweat so there fore did not have to take a shower!(I just took one yesterday).
If I can do a small amount of yard work every day that will help .
The yard is so overwhelming...I usually just throw my hands up in the air and forget about it.I am going to pick up some more plants that are shade lovers and put them on the patio. Dan is a landscape guy so I respect his eye. He said a boston fern would be nice back there.
It felt great to be productive and get some work done.

Small amounts of yardwork are very do-able, it'll feel good and you'll get to see results! We rent, but I still do a bit of gardening and things on the rest of the property like the hedge. It's (mostly) enjoyable and quite satisfying. I also find it useful when I'm in a weird headspace. Meditative.

I'm not a big fan of sweating (or the sun) and consequently sometimes do yardwork in the evenings. It's much hotter where you live -- might be a strategy to keep in mind.

Good luck with your endeavor! Enjoy!

[bizi]

thank you innerzone.
I am not an early riser so will be doing some yard work in the evenings, after work instead of being on the computer all of the time.
I have been avoiding work. The weather has been so beautiful and a lovely spring. It will get hot soon enough. The yard waste folks come tomorrow.
I had our yard man trim our bushes and he trimmed them too short. I think it killed them. heavy sigh
They were so pretty. They look awful now, I hope they come back. I am sure my neighbors will be so upset, they were the ones to enjoy the blooming azaleas, hot pink in color. time will tell.
Thank you for your support and encouragement.
((((HUGS))))

I am not well.
I should have showered this morning but am finding it hard to get up in the mornings. Need to hop into the shower.
Just realized that I am a month behind in my billing. usually I send bills out every 2 weeks. It has never been a month behind, I will have to apologize for being tardy.
Have been at pats every night this week.
While there, I met a potential new client. his name is Bob, I have spoken with him twice this past week. He said he wanted to treat his daughter and granddaughter to pedicures.
I gave him my card. Will see if he calls me.
My weight is up because we have been eating out more. Like tonigth we went to whole foods and had a couple of beers and ate a big cheese tray, it was huge!!Then we came home and had pork chops. Am stuffed!
Our handy man: Cris has one more switch to replace in the closet that he forgot about. He is coming in the morning.
All said and done it will cost us $600 instead of $3K if we had hired an electrician, from what he said.
Next project is the front door.
We have not gotten a bill from the foundation folks yet and that was weeks ago, wonder why?
Sigh

I really need to hop into the shower!!!!!!!!!

After work I stopped off at whole foods for a beer.
Then went home. Hubby knew that I went somewhere, so I told him.
I was going to do paper work and then if I finished I would go back to whole foods for trivia. Hubby was going over there earlier to grab a table for our friends. I ended up going to whole foods with him. As I did not want to drive after drinking a few beers. So trivia was fun. and we finished up at 8;15.
Came home and decided that I would put on some cat stevens and do my paper work. It took me 2 hours to send 24 bills and make a deposit.
I still have some filing to do.
So I am happy that I got my work done, I will finish the rest on sunday.
I also want to do some yard work sunday.
I work out of town saturday/tomorrow.
May the fourth be with you.

Happy cinco de mayo!
I have had better oatmeal before but still enjoyed it!
The last lady that I saw it was really hard.
She is bed bound and her nails grow rounded making them really hard to trim without nicking her. I trimmed them as short as I could and painted her nails which she seemed to like. She was very hard of hearing so that made it difficult to communicate with her.
Any way, all of the other clients were fine.
I saw five clients today.
Jeff is leaving soon to go play with the sky liners the 20 piece jazz band that has dances every other month, think 40's - 50's music.
He won't be home until late as he helps set up and break down.
nobody else volunteered.

OMG! Why did it never occur to me to ask this?! What with you being the nail lady! I don't want to derail your thread, so you can PM me if you'd like. With my BF's medical issues, he has spent enormous amounts of time in bed. He also has this problem (nails curving over). Also, his big toenails are as if they've stopped growing. The big ones are all... how to describe?...condensed down. If you have any insight... is this something he needs to see a Dr. about? (We keep forgetting to ask when we're in appointments.) Is it something that tends to resolve on its own if the covers aren't on them all the time? He says they (the big ones) hurt when he walks. Curious any light you might be able to shed.

(It's from the weight of the covers isn't it? That's our guess. (Getting him to keep them uncovered is pretty much impossible.))

Thanks for any insight you can share!

[bizi]

He may have some peripheral neuropathy.
I am not really sure what to think could you post a picture of them?
That would help me alot.
bizi

I'll see if he's agreeable to that. He's asleep now and I'll have to use his phone (mine no longer takes pics.) Hope I remember how to get a pic onto here, lol.

Edited to add I put it in my albums here so as not to gross people out. If you have any trouble finding jt, let me know The album is callsd Temporary.

Hope you feel better soon, Bizi!

This is toe nail fungus. There are pills to take that can cure it or laser treatments that are hundreds of dollars not on insurance and there is a solution that you can buy over the counter at a podiatrist office called formula 3. It is to be applied every day twice a day faithfully and can take a year to go away. You can try removing the nailbut that is painful. All of these options require a podiatrist assistance. So go see one for advice and guidance.
good luck let me know how it goes.

Thanks so much bizi! We'll go get a referral from our primary.

I am thinking I am quitting therapy.
I am just not able to get my life straightened out I feel like I am wasting money going to her. I am paying out of pocket for her....We still have that 4K deductible, which we will never meet unless one of us goes to the hospital, forbid. Not working on my issues because my addictions take up the whole time. Need to think about this...
I chewed the crap out of my thumb last night.

I saw Robin my tdoc today. We had a good session. Though I told her that I wanted to put our sessions on hold. Thru the years of therapy, That I felt like I was talking and talking and not really getting anywhere.
She said sometimes people need a break...so that is what we are doing.
She left the door wide open...I really like her.
I gave her a hug good bye.
I felt deflated.

We have complimentary tickets to see the symphony tonight at 7pm.
They are performing in a big st. johns cathedral along with the BREVE, early music singers.
I am really looking forward to going.
Just got a text that my mother got her plant that I sent for mothers day.
I think she liked it. LOL
I had a break at lunch so shopped for some food for the weekend at sandras health food store where I eat lunch most days.
homemade veggie soup, tabouli, salmon marinated already (one pound is 4 meals total and put those in the freezer.), talapia which is frozen so put it in the fridge to thaw and will invite our friend over to eat dinner with us.....
food glorious food!
I think we are going to have organic, grass fed beef franks(hot dogs) for dinner tonight.
What to wear for the symphony??? I have gained so much weight. Any thing goes really.
So I should not worry about it. I have black jeans to wear or black leggings with a fancy blouse that I wore at new years. It has some silver little studs for bling.
Have a great weekend yall!

The symphony was good except I kept falling asleep.
sigh
I was embarrassed because later I realized that friends of ours were directly behind us.

I slept very late today. I have been sleeping more lately.
Got out of bed at 1040am, went to bed at midnight last night.
Only had one night sweat that went away quickly thank goodness.
I am not going thru menopause gracefully.
today I get my hair colored and maybe cut. 3 months ago I had a botched cut somewhere other than aveda school where I normally go. I need for them to fix the problem.
Getting another hot flash....sigh
my hands sweat while working and makes it difficult to work with my tools, I keep having to wipe my hands off, and wiping my face off as the sweat will run into my eyes....
sigh
have a good saturday yall.

Hubby wants to go to a music trivia brewery with friends out of town today. There will be much drinking involved. I want to go to art walk instead. If I could find someone to go with me....I need more friends.
