Doggonedmysteries

I had one of my every 6 months appointments with my cardiologist. Had a once yearly cardiogram done.

My doctor is very pleased with me. Blood pressure was good, heart sounded great, cardiogram was excellent, cholesterol levels were also excellent.

Everyone got a good laugh at my Tee

Yes, after a constant weight gain after the heart attack, I found I was not eating enough calories in a day.

The Myfitnesspal app showed me that I was eating far too little calories. My body was storing fat because it thought I was starving.

By having to log my food and getting reminders if I don’t, I am eating the required 1200 calories (or less) daily.

I am drinking the correct amount of water.

And, I am losing weight.

10 lbs so far.

Yay me!

I was reading an article on the ’11 signs of Gaslighting in your relationship,’ and realized it describes #45 and the Republican party perfectly. Interesting read.

The mendacity of these people is increasing with each day.

For you who have no idea what that means:

I look forward to when he goes to bed. It is when I can finally take a breath.

I swear, I feel as though I spend each day holding my breath.

I feel as though I have to tip toe around him most days.

Lately, I don’t dare even run the vacuum when he’s downstairs for fear of setting him off on a rant about how he can’t hear the TV.

Most days we grate on each other’s nerves.

What I wouldn’t give for a place near the water…alone with my dog.

And yet I stay.

Today’s tee

Thank you for your service.

I will continue to fight for you.

No Veteran should be without healthcare.

No Veteran should homeless.

I miss you, Dad.

If you’ve molested a 14 year-old girl, shame on you. There’s no Biblical excuse for your criminal behavior. You are depraved.

If you vote for a criminally depraved person to be your senator, shame on you. You are stupid. I understand you can’t fix stupid. What a shame.

Lucy loves them!

If you don’t know what they are, they are the pizza crusts The Curmudgeon doesn’t eat. I eat mine. I happen to like the crusts.

Anyway, he will break his crusts down into small pieces for Lucy that we dole out like we normally do with her cookies. We keep them in the flipped over lid of her cookie jar and she knows exactly where they are.

Thank goodness they are out of her reach. But she tells us where they are as often as possible.

One of her nicknames is Miss Barky McBarkison.

We would have celebrated your birthday, you and I. We would have raised a glass to honor Mom and Dad’s anniversary too.

Every day I miss you.

Every day I miss them.

If you were here, I wouldn’t be so lonely, so lost at times.

You always knew how to make me laugh when you knew I was deep in the dark of my soul. You always knew I had a deep dark in my soul.

We knew each other as only sisters can.

I wish you were with me. Every. Day.

Haven’t had one in a while. Muddling through with one tonight.

Once again we have a mass shooting. Victims in the church range in age from four years old to 72.

I had this great desire to spend the entirety of this week in my PJs, but I didn’t. Too danged much going on.

Went to bed around 4 a.m. My alarm went off at 8. The phone rang at 8:05 a.m. they would arrive in 15 minutes with the new fridge.

I took Lucy out and fed her. Made my coffee. She wasn’t done eating yet when The Curmudgeon said, “They’re here.”

Lucy finished her breakfast in her crate.

They had the front door off, the old fridge out, the new fridge in, door back on and were gone before 9.

Wow.

However, I didn’t get to go back to sleep. 2:11 a.m. and I am still up.
