Sorry about your bad news. I hope tomorrow's news is all 🌞 and 👍

Enjoying my morning brew.
Feeling pretty rested regardless of the immobilization stuff.
and smiling at notes wishing me to get well soon.

Stoking the flame of a romance that never really died. I will say this.. neither did the chemistry! looking forward to seeing just where this will go.

To top it off. This is the first week of classes. So, I am preparing lesson plans to teach.....college classes!! :hamactor:

Perhaps I need to change my name to ProfessorDyke... hahaha:fastdraq:

Barack Obama's Summer Reading List
 

I was just reading an article online about Barack Obama's summer reads (LINK).



Two of his summer reads sound very interesting:

1) Factfulness (by Hans Rosling): "...an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases (Obama)."


and …


2) An American Marriage (by Tayari Jones): "...is a moving portrayal of the effects of a wrongful conviction on a young African-American couple (Obama)."

Designing business cards and pretending to watch baseball.

Just finished a late dinner and talking to My girl.

In chat, listening to the Lions/Bucs game!

Chatting, listening to a baseball game, visiting with my gf.

Talking to My girl and trying to decide what I can ingest for dinner.

In chat with My girl and mulling over the day's events.

Baking.....
 

Tomorrow (Thursday) starts a 5 day run for a multi family yard sale I am involved in, and I am currently baking 10 doz cookies, choco chip, snickerdoodle and a chocolate cookie with bits of marshmallow and chunks of choco. So there are many bags of two per bag for 50 cents and also an ice cold bottle of water, 50 cents also! Its darn hot round here lately.......and I have to admit the cookies were frozen dough rounds that just pop in the oven and bake! Its gonna be fun!!

Relaxing after a really big day at the River Arts District, lunch at a wood fired pizza shop and a trip to the orchard. Then a drive back to the Lodge through a part of the country/mountains I've never seen.

Doing a quick load of laundry and surfing youtube!

writing lesson plans for my class

ugh

Packing and waiting for my girl to get home from work.

Watching football.

Watching BET’s coverage of Aretha’s funeral.

Nice to see the giants of Detroit’s Gospel singers (Shirley Caesar, The Clark Sisters, Detroit Mass Choir).

Very nice send off by Detoriters.

In chat, listening to music with My girl, smiling at her from across the room.

I'm watching 9 to 5!

I'm pouring a cuppa

– Rockin' with AM Joy
– Having decaf and a muffin
– Getting ready to do some work

:bow:

Listening to music, hanging out with Jedi, online window shopping, perhaps I made a purchase.

Laundry, watching 🏈 and texting a friend.

Had fun playing pool, good drinks with best company. Great fun this weekend. Much needed after this not so fun filled year. Couldn’t be with a better person.

Prepping for a VERY important meeting tomorrow afternoon. This site is fantastic for procrastinators.

Getting an infusion to help treat my anemia. Entertain me people.

Freezin' my ass off at work ... yet again! Grr! :(

I've been working on organizing some paperwork and listening to some interesting music... by … Thievery Corporation (Album: Saudade).

You have my attention..... first of all.... hope it brings those iron stores up!
Second..... question. I was told to take supplement to which I refused due to years ago I experienced severe and I do mean SEVERE pain in my abdomen from them. Wasn’t my stomach so Dr isn’t sure why but anyway I said I’ll try foods she said I can but most likely will have to talk about infusion. I read about this and what I read seems the side affects can be similar or worse than the supplements. Do you know if that’s true?


What I’m doing is still trying to stay cool. I hate being hot. Well that kind at least. I’m also giving the furnace thingy a good kick/bump/ even a please....every now and then like that’s going to do anything. It’s a quiet night here. Everyone is mellow and quiet.

Making a small list for the grocery. Trying hard not to be indecisive. Along with trying hard not to worry. Oh, and trying to decide what day I should go to the Barber. :buzz cut:

I've had low iron for more than 20 years. It gets low enough to meet the criteria for iron deficient anemia. I tried supplements ordered by my primary care physician about 10 years ago but they (the supplements) bothered my stomach. My primary referred me to a hematologist who agreed my iron was low enough, so I had infusions. Back then it was a series of 12 or more. Now, they have medication so it just takes 2. We've been watching my iron drop for the past few years and had to wait long enough for my primary to refer me to a hematologist again. I'm already seeing the effects after one infusion. dee says I have more color in my face. I have more energy too. No side effects at all in my case. It's basically sitting in a chair for 30-60 min and having an IV administered (think blood donation in reverse). Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Give it a try and NEVER ignore your health (says the person who usually refuses to take care of herself).
