vanillafluffyOkay, the short version, since the techno-gods have conspired against me:
Tuesday, Gastroenterology. Consult so I can get pre-surgical endoscopy and colonoscopy done.
Wednesday, Bariatrics: Discussion of what I still need to get done. In addition to above procedures, lab work and headshrinking.
Thursday, Cardiology: Chemical stress test, which I passed with flying colors, go me. I now have my cardiac clearance for surgery, which is a big hurdle. Really not as stressful as all the horror stories I've heard make it out to be. Granted, everyone is different, but I felt fine the whole way through.
Friday: Almost had a kitchen table--saw one in the pix for an estate sale, but GK went and looked at it, and it was bigger than my kitchen. Not to mention waaay more than I was prepared to pay even if it had been what I need. *sigh* I'm so tired of that damned card table!
Complete change of subject--Was reading an online article about remakes of series, most of which I didn't watch to begin with, but it got me thinking....
I'd like to see a reboot of "Green Acres". This time, though, instead of being middle-aged, Oliver and Lisa would be millennials. It would be more relevant, and it would still be one helluva fish-out-of-water comedy. Oliver, you see, is a hipster who got tired of paying outrageous prices for organic produce at Whole Paycheck, so he decides to turn the tables, return to the land and grow his own. Meanwhile, Lisa is a Goth princess-type--think Lily Munster with an iPhone--who is absolutely aghast at landing in Hooterville, which not only doesn't have any nightlife, they don't even have Starbucks. Oh, the horror! The locals are divided between helpful and hostile. Oliver isn't sure who to trust when it comes to farming advice--it's more complicated than he thought!--and Lisa has similar problems with gossipy neighbors. Recycle the old theme song with a revved-up track by Flogging Molly, and away we go!
Is that all? I think that's all. The version that got swallowed whole was more garrulous, but this will do. Love to all, and have a good week.

Date: 2018-03-01 02:49 pm (UTC)My weight has yo-yo'ed for years...when I came to ABQ for that "two-week visit" in 2013, I weighed about 260. Then two things happened: I was diagnosed and put on meds AND I started eating a lot more regularly than I had in Florida, because I'd been out of work and penniless for so long. It jumped up to 280, then crept up to 310 by the time I got back to Florida. Was in that neighborhood until late 2016-early 2017, when I started retainuing water like a sponge. I'm still wrestling with that, despite water pills, and that's part of the reason I'm trying to get the surgery--the older I get, the more I have to struggle for even minimal results. Thanks for the mojo!
I'm still thinking good thoughts for you, that the new home and new job will both be fabulous. I mean, the house sounds pretty amazing all by itself--I really home your life there is equally wonderful.
I was so-so on Green Acres back in the day, but I adored Petticoat Junction. At one point, I even wanted to own my own hotel--this was pre-B&B popularity--but my dad talked me out of it, bringing up things like liability and security and so on. What a buzzkill! But he wasn't wrong about the amount of work, darn it--not that I'm up to it these days anyway.
