WTG with the progress at work, trissie!
Enjoy your walk, L Ann. I might see you at the grocery store. :lol:
That's great that you revived your planner, Bama. I'm wanting to get back into some daily habits too. You've gotten a lot done already! Go you!!

Appointment was punctual and helpful. I'm being referred to neurology to have the numbness in the bottom of my feet evaluated; I think it's related to an old injury of a herniated disc, but we'll see. It's symmetrical across both feet but not very severe. I'll also treat my toenail as if it has a fungal infection. I have a check up scheduled in 1 year. I think she wants to track me, which is fine.

Next:
- some tea and qt
- make the bed
- load of moms' stuff washing

Later:
- make the bed
- some qt
- mom's stuff load 1 w d f pa
- mom's stuff load 2 w d f pa
- payroll: finish updating the exam record
- dress to jog
- jog
- lunch
- menu plan and groc. list
- Kroger and WF
- put everything away
- after I get work assignment, schedule check up appt.
- after I get work assignment, schedule window washing
- email reply to ML
- cedar chest in MBR: clear my stuff off
- Stitch Fix check out
- 3:30ish otd - 4 pm Escape Room fun for J12yo's birthday party (she invited us too! :D )
- will dh and I eat with the middle school kids at the Cs? Or will we go home to eat dinner?
- after dinner clean up
- duolingo
- update health apps

TaDas!
- up; weighed self - trending higher and higher :shock:
- coffee

L.Ann, what do you put in the lettuce wraps? I don't think I've ever had them!
helia, numbness in any part of the body is kinda scary, but seems like you have it under control medically!
Bama, DH is very active with helping the kids with homework. During his last trip, due to the time zone difference (and because he generally works 12-14 hours per day when on a business trip - it's real blood money, the overtime raters he gets paid), we couldn't find more than 2 hours per week when both him and DS would be online and available at the same time - and that was when DS had a major programming project due! But we managed, somehow.

That's an even bigger WTG on your walks, then, L Ann.
Hi Peaches!
What do you do for your 10 minutes of cardio, trissie? Well, I don't know for sure what is going on, but I herniated a disc when I was 20. Ever since, I've always had some very mild numbness on my shins bc of it. I think the same nerves go to the feet? The Dr. also suspects something spinal/ neurological since the numb areas are symmetric on both feet. The right is worse; even so, if I stepped on something sharp, I would still feel it, so it's only annoying now. However, she recommends I take care of it sooner rather than later. Her goal is to keep her patients as mobile as possible for as long as possible. She's young; I like her!

Next:
- make the bed
- dress to jog
- jog
- stop by WF en route home

More TaDas!
- some qt
- lunch
- touched base with dh --> we'll probably eat at J's bday party.

We put almost anything in a lettuce wrap, Trissie. I was surprised that DD32 likes them so we have them pretty often. They work best with Romaine lettuce and can be filled with any kind of beans or cooked ground meat. Sort of like taco type fillings. This week’s has cooked chopped chicken mixed with a red cabbage and carrot slaw and a variety of spices…garlic, bulgogi sauce, gochujang sauce, hot sauce and sesame dressing so it has an Asian twist. Lots of time I serve them with a spiced ground meat and then offer a variety of pick your own toppings like tomatoes, pepper, con, onions avocado etc.
Little Bit likes to shop and is my preferred shopping companion, Dogged. We go to Aldis which is a small store so it is a pretty quick trip.Hi Bama and Peaches. Finding a doctor you like is key to decent care, helian.
