I feel your pain! I had multiple screws, a plate, and a bar put into my ankle to put it back together back in 2012. Took a very long time to heal, and was frankly an awful experience. Today though, I can walk normally, and the scar is barely visible anymore. Heal up, and do your physical therapy!

GM Nostr friends Church for us this morning looks a little different. It's Serve Day, where the congregation is encouraged to sign up for an area and then go out and do something. Hubs and I were originally going to help with the church garden, but then switched to going shopping for items for the local food shelf.
I'm looking forward to it. I hope all the activities today help out around the community and show the love of Jesus!

Have fun at NosVegas, all you lucky plebs! I'm sitting at home enjoying a quiet day reading while Hubby plays in the garage. Absolutely beautiful weather all weekend, so we grilled last night, and will again.
Have to go in to work for an all staff meeting tomorrow morning. Dreading it. I am now fairly certain I have become at least somewhat feral in social interactions, having worked at home for 5 years now.

2025-05-23 12:46:18

GM Nostr friends. I knew about Bitcoin Pizza Day yesterday, but went to my nephew's band concert last night instead and then took him to Culver's. It was fun, but wish we had gotten pizza instead.

2025-05-20 13:11:28

GM Nostr friends.
Well, we're definitely not in a fire zone anymore. It's absolutely pouring and the wind is blowing hard. Lu was so excited for her morning walk, but as soon as I opened the front door, she started backing away. I ended up dragging her outside for a quick pee. She was very disgruntled when we got back in. Poor girl hates being wet.
I've been working on getting a query working on and off for almost three days now, and it's driving me nuts. Maybe the crappy weather outside will keep me focused and possibly have a breakthrough with the fields that aren't playing nice. Fingers crossed on that.
Stay safe, have a terrific Tuesday all!

GgggggggggM Nostr friends.
It's May! I'm counting down to the debut of Murderbot on Apple tv. Been working my way through the novels, and super excited to see how it translates to live action.
There are workers in the neighborhood this week doing...something with replacing cables along my street. Really hoping they avoid knocking out my power and internet. 🤞
Just feeling really grateful today. I have a job, home, sweet hubby, and puppy that I adore. Thank you, Lord for all you've done for me.
Happy Thursday, y'all!

2025-04-30 13:16:58

So this is random, but I've asked Hubby and he doesn't eat bananas (texture thing).
For those of you who do enjoy a good banana, what say you about the veins? Do you just eat them, or peel them off before eating?
I always peel them off, feels gross just knowing I'm eating one.

2025-04-23 15:43:32

GM Nostr friends. Spring has sprung, and summer is right behind it. The grounds crew is in the neighborhood today doing their very first grass cutting of the season. Can't say I'm a fan of the noise, but I am very excited to see green starting to pop out everywhere.
Whoo hoo Wednesday!

GM Nostr friends. Rainy gray day here, looks like that will be the case for most of the week.
Had a pretty good weekend overall. Spent time with Hubby at the zoo on Saturday, and he bought me a trio of Hexclad saucepans as an anniversary gift. I felt very bougie making my scrambled eggs this morning.
Yesterday was a great day with Hubby's fam. Helped one of his little nieces put together a Lego flower, laughed and joked with my in-laws, and ate some delicious food.
Here's to another week.

Happy Easter Nostr friends! He is risen!
Church service this morning, then home for a bit before going over to Hubby's brother's house for lunch and time with the family.

2025-04-19 23:38:11

One year married today! Hubby and I went to the little local zoo and conservatory for a while today. Got some great time together, and then had takeout from my favorite Chinese restaurant. One year down, many years to go!

Oh, I know it! Watched my mom test her blood sugar and give her insulin injections my whole life. She ended up dying from kidney failure as a side effect of badly controlled diabetes.
A couple years ago, my A1C was 5.7 when I was working out regularly. The most recent a few weeks ago was 6.8 and I am completely to blame. Just praying I can make some positive changes for myself.
Diabetes sucks. I hope you're able to live as well as possible with it. Keto diet is supposed to be an enormous help!

I am in range to be diabetic, but my doc wanted me to try the shots first and see what things look like before sticking that diagnosis on my record. Pretty much all of my mom's family was diabetic, so it's definitely not a stretch.

Getting close to 10lbs down so far! Most of it water weight, I realize, but it's nice to finally see the scale going in the right direction. I keep telling myself it's going to take time and to be patient.

Opened windows for the first time this season. The breeze feels so good!

2025-04-17 14:54:36

GM Nostr friends. It's finally feeling warm outside today!
Someone down the street is using a band saw and it's super loud. I can hear it clearly even though my office windows are shut. Must be that time of year.

GM Nostr friends!
It's Trash Day, also known as Wednesday around here.
Hubby and I did a fairly long walk yesterday, and I had a hard time keeping up with him. Speed walking is definitely not my favorite. Body is sore today. Gotta keep it up and vary workouts, otherwise I'm never going to lose the weight.
Have a good day, everybody!

2025-04-15 15:22:20

GM Nostr friends.
Another blustery cold day here, but I saw green tips poking out of the ground on my morning walk. The sun felt so good on my face.
Starting my Zepbound journey. I had my first shot on Saturday, and last night (Monday) was the first time I felt any symptoms - just a little nauseous because I had a pretty protein-heavy dinner.
Trying to remind myself that the diet and exercise changes and possible drug side effects are worth it. I need to get out of the diabetic zone, and then I can cut out my other obesity-related meds and avoid going down my mom's path that led to kidney failure.
Get out there and work it today, people.

It sure is. On the plus side, I've been introduced to some great media. On the negative, there are some things that are starting to be a little too close to reality for comfort.
If you haven't yet, go check out the Murderbot Apple preview. I think they nailed the first person narrative, but I'll withhold judgment until it actually airs.

Brr, cold(ish) and windy out today. Where did Spring go?

Went to the doc for my yearly today, and she prescribed me one of the GPL-1 meds. Waiting to see if my insurance will cover it, but I'm hopeful. Too much chonk around my middle that I'm hoping to get rid of.

2025-04-01 16:18:09

GM Nostr friends! I'm flying medium-high on cold meds today. It's so nice to be able to breathe out my nose again.
Also, exciting news: I might have purple-pilled my boss. We were in a one-on-one and he was talking about how back Facebook was, so I briefly explained Nostr and sent him a couple intro pages and he seemed pretty interested. Whoo hoo!

GM Nostr friends. Hubby gave me the scratchy throat he's had for a while now. Trying cough drops to calm the coughing, but I'm a little bit mad at him for sharing.
I work at home and have since Covid, so I don't get sick often. It is almost more annoying now since I've had a long streak of being healthy.

2025-03-26 13:50:18

Sorry for being quiet today, friends. We left the resort about 7 this morning, and got home in about three and a half hours. Picked Lu up. Brought her home and gave her a bath right away, then gave myself one, because gas station bathrooms. 🤢Spent all afternoon napping and now it's actual bed time. GN!

2025-03-15 16:23:52

GM Nostr friends! Late start today. I can thank my eye mask for allowing me to sleep until I was ready to wake up today - a rare luxury. Still at the resort until tomorrow morning. Got a fire crackling away, and the window cracked for some fresh air to keep the blow back from the fire from getting too overwhelming. Planning to read and enjoy the view today and nothing else. https://image.nostr.build/869aa3a7e266f233f2f69226a728bbef21463b774787e8067c78239e8c2e4139.jpg

I mean, yes? But also, I finally found my husband and locked it down at age 40. I love him, and I am committed to him and our relationship. There's trust and integrity we spent time building. I would never betray that. My guess would be most relationships in general regardless of religion would probably be able to agree with that.

Absolutely gorgeous day today. Massive doses of coffee this morning to make it through church, and then home for some lunch and a much-needed nap. Walked the dog as soon as I got home, and didn't want to come inside. It's about 55F (12C) right now. Sunny, light breeze, and all the snow we got last week is melting like crazy.
Very much hoping to see the first of our neighborhood crocus peeping their little green tips up this next week if I'm lucky.

It must be something going on with my work computer lately. Nostr Connect would open multiple windows to ask permission for a signing event, and then never load them. At one point I had about 15 windows open, and had to close each one manually.
Alby did the same thing to Coracle. Hmm...
Thanks!

2025-03-07 15:19:59

GM Nostr friends. Happy Friday. Taking my Lulu in to a dog daycare place called Dogtopia this afternoon for a meet & greet. Excited but nervous, as she doesn't do well in kennels generally. Hoping to use their services instead of trying to rely on my ailing dad or friends to watch the pup when Hubby and I are gone for hours at a time or going out of town.
Unrelated question:
What signing key do you all use for your Nostr site(s) of preference on the web? I was on nos2x-fox originally, then Alby for a while, then Nostr Connect, and now I'm back to using nos2x-fox for Librewolf again.
Alby freaked out when I used Coracle, but generally behaved okay everywhere else. I didn't want to run my own hub or pay, so I got rid of it. Nostr Connect was slow and didn't interact well with most Nostr sites, only occasionally being recognized.
Despite Mozilla's recent privacy statements, I still choose to use Firefox-based browsers vs Chrome, so I've gone from Brave back to Librewolf.
For reference, I'm on Windows 11 for work, and Fedora for my personal computer.

The American healthcare system is such a joke. A couple weeks ago, I had a small mole removed from the side of my right thigh near my knee. Maybe 20 minutes worth of work.
As an out-of-network provider, I now owe over $1K, and that is after my insurance chipped in a bit.
A rep I talked to suggested that I get my primary care clinic to write a referral back to my insurance so my dermatology clinic could be reclassified as "in network". Then I'd have to contact dermatology again in order to ask them to reprocess my charges and see if I can pay slightly less.
Of course, this is after I've already forked over ~$400, so I'll also have to ask for a refund if insurance ends up covering more of it.
I've had at least five phone calls and multiple messages back and forth already between my primary care clinic, the insurance, and the dermatology clinic, and I'm still waiting on my insurance to let me know if the primary's referral was approved.
All this for a tiny mole that was just a little suspect.
Frickin' A, man.
