The worst part about working on a truck farm was picking the jalapenos. Every tiny papercut, every hangnail, every little scrape burned like the dickens. And for godsakes, don't rub your eyes!
Yeah, I've had a lot of different jobs throughout my lengthy employment history. Picking vegetables, mucking stalls, executive secretary to the president of a multi-state private school corporation. I'm a jack of all trades. LOL
Gimpy buck seems to be like 95% now. I think the problem was he had an abscess on his leg which was making it all swollen and gross and hurty, but then it burst, so now he's on the mend. Lucky buck.
Yeah, I watch a lot of vet shows. I love Dr. Pol. He's my kind of guy.
If a veterinarian can diagnose and treat a wide variety of species for a wide variety of ailments, why can't doctors treat one species for a variety of ailments? Jus' sayin'.
The other day I gazed at the weather forecast and noted that Wednesday was supposed to be craptastic. I had a doctor's appt on Wednesday. (Okay, it's really a nurse's appt. I don't see the doctor very often.) I called to get it moved to later in the week and they told me my appt actually wasn't until next Wednesday. But I'm sitting here staring at the card they wrote out for me that says 2/5/20. (Okay, it really says 2/5/19, but it was written in November, so the year thing was an easy mistake.) Neither of us was sure how that happened, but we did get my appt moved to tomorrow.
I'm doing pretty good at remembering to write 20 in the date instead of 19. I've only screwed up once and then I only got the 1 out before I remembered and changed it to a 2.
And that's all I've got for you today. What have you got for me?

Thursday This n That
I wish people would stop passing along old news like it's new news. I saw something this morning about a stabbing at a high school in PA and I was all like OMG, but I didn't see it in the newsfeed, so I had to go googling. It happened in 2014. Yeah, not a lot was made of it then - for whatever reasons - but use that as your lead-in. "This happened in 2014 and no one splashed it all over the place. Why?" Or something. Bleh.
I have started a quest to eat healthier. I'm going for a low-LDL / high-HDL cholesterol diet - gotta keep the ticker ticking*, doncha know. To that end, I've been increasing the amounts of certain foods and decreasing others. I said a tearful goodbye to all my bestie food friends at the Walmart the other day - fried chicken, frozen pizza, donuts... :sniffle: I switched out regular peanut M&Ms and bought dark chocolate peanut M&Ms. I added avocados to the menu, as well as more fish, chicken, nuts, and beans. I bought some ground turkey before I read that regular ground turkey is less healthy than super-lean beef. :shrug: Last night's turkey burger with avocado, lettuce, and tomato was pretty tasty, but that was the last of it. I tried giving up ice cream. That lasted two days. I'll just eat less of that. Anyway, here's hoping for a lifestyle change because otherwise this will be like every other thing I've tried and fail miserably. Lucky for me, Hubs is on board. I'm also trying to exercise more. Umm, yah. I really need to get a treadmill, but the expense! Ack.
On a side note, 72% cacao chocolate is GROSS. I took one bite of a bar of that stuff and almost lost it. Tried eating a fingerful of peanut butter with it. Nope. Drank some OJ to get the taste out of my mouth. It helped but... Blech. I need to chop up the rest of that bar and make cookies with it or something.
I'm not going total healthy. Let's not be silly. Just trying some new things. I'll keep what works for me and discard the rest. Then when I go for my yearly physical and the doc badgers me for a cholesterol test, I may just let her poke me this year.
In case you missed it, I hate doctors. In general. There are specific ones that are okay. The one I have isn't too bad. We came to an understanding - as long as she doesn't irritate me, I'll keep going to her. Which is good because she's the closest physician who accepts my insurance. I would really hate to have to change. Really.
Yeah, I hate change, too.
Somehow or other people are finding Blood Flow this month and buying it. Not a lot of people, mind you, but the slight uptick sans advertising or a sale is nice.
Okay, that's it for me. What have you got?
*No news of my impending doom. It's just that I'm gonna be 48 and I have a genetic history of heart crap. I'm already 4 years older than my dad was when he had his first heart attacks. Don't want to push it. Know what I mean?
