Anorexia...
Like the symptom, not the mental disorder. I've had like no appetite all day. Currently hungry, but I kinda feel like if I eat anything I might barf. This AM I weighed myself, 116.5. (I had been hovering around 135 since college.) I then could barely eat my bagel. I told 7500centfish I ate half a bagel, but I meant a quarter, because on a normal day I just eat a half. I kinda feel like I should start supplementing... Or maybe try switching it up an have something sweet for breakfast vs savory. But then I was looking into breakfast shakes. A lot of them are protein shakes and... I'm already pissing protein, I don't need more. There are kidney formulations for ensure, but... That's expensive. And it seems like most breakfast shakes are for weight loss. I mean... Not like I want to gain all the weight I lost back. Just... I don't want to lose more weight. Overall I don't feel like I'm eating less. Yet out of nowhere I'm losing weight. Is it the new med I'm on? I don't see anything in the common side effects about anorexia. Maybe it's just the overall feeling of feeling like crap and low grade pain. Like... It manifests in different ways. Oh so I was comparing... I can get powder, but I'm suspecting you have to mix it with milk? And... That may not sit well with my tum tum. Another mix I read is just a base for a smoothie which you can add fruit and yogurt, etc. The already mixed drinks... It's cheaper at target, but there is less choice, only Chocolate. In the grocery, it's a dollar more, but they have chocolate, strawberry, nanners, etc. "Rite Aid" is even more. Breakfast foods... I can barely finish breakfast sandwiches from McD so premade ones from the groc might not be different. Same with a breakfast bowl. Maybe I can get waffles and just eat on the run like I do or maybe a pop tart or similar brands with more substance. Maybe I need to switch it up and eat oatmeal again. But at the same time, I feel it will just make me bloated. Kinda feel like I would do better if I added it to a shake. Like maybe mix it with my coffee. But then... I don't even drink all the coffee I make.
It smells like fried fish...
Thought of getting "Why We're Catholic" as my Christmas "gag gift" again. You can buy a case of 20 for $60 bucks. The book on it's own is $15! So I wonder if I should do that. But at the same time I feel like I need to read the book first before deciding. But then again... Who is really gonna read it? Not like I read the Matthew Kelly book they gave out at Astoria that one year. But if I counted correctly... There are like 3 less than 20 people. So 1 case is sufficient for the fam. Or I can give separate copies to couples... Like I have 1 for Tito / Tita. Or maybe I can give a certain couple one and put a note on the purpose of marriage. Lol... P.s. The purpose of marriage is to bring you and your spouse / any children to heaven.
I honestly don't know if it was a dream... I had difficulty breathing, like I felt I was gasping for air, but at the same time I didn't feel like I was in any danger of dying or didn't feel like I was not getting enough air. At the same time... I was too tired / asleep to care. The latter has happened in the actual. I can't take sleep aids / Tylenol PM for this reason. I mean... When I woke up I was tired, but no more than usual. So... I'm not sure if it actually happened. If it did... Is it because my ceiling? I emptied the buckets / cleaned a towel I put under the buckets, etc. Maybe just touching that could exacerbate something? Maybe the fact I had my air purifier pointed toward me? That my windows are closed? I noticed recently I've been getting a sinus headache in my room as well. So...
As I said, when I went to Target most people were wearing masks. I'm beginning to think I missed a mask mandate at the door. Because when I went to Uncle G's in same town, mix of mask / no masks. In addition... Marna seems shocked. Maybe she doesn't get out much? She keeps commenting that when she goes out no one is wearing masks, so she took hers off. Seriously... It's been like this for over a month already.
Reddit post. Someone said they found out they were baptized presbyterian, but then went to Catholic school and has been receiving the Eucharist etc. Most people are like talk to their priest, they should have his sacramental records. It all depends on if he's been confirmed... I don't know where reddit gets that... Supposedly they think you can't receive the Eucharist without Confirmation. I know there is a movement to put the sacraments back in the order of Baptism, Confirmation, communion, but... It's still overwhelmingly Confirmation last. And, I think the idea might also come from RCIA / the Easter vigil where communion is last just because of it's place in the Mass.
Speaking of sacramental records... A #twitterpriest asked how scammers get parish info to spam parishioners posing as their priest. A lot of it was they get it from the bulletin somehow. But someone asked maybe it's through church records. He then mentioned the software most parishes use. Interesting... I had often wondered what sort of info the parish has. Or more... Is it cross referenced, like sacraments with contributions? As I said... When I get a Mass card, they ask for info, address to send the card makes sense. But then when I was annointed after Mass I had to give my info / sign a paper. Is that added to my "record"? Was I tied to my mother? The envelopes only have her name. Did I have a record outside of sacraments? Only recently did I start contributing.
Someone then posted on reddit about getting an invite from JWs and letters in Spanish. Wanted to know what outdoor decor they could add to their house to deter them. I get these letters... I think the info comes from the webs. Like... I don't know why if you do a google search in one of those databases it lists me as Hispanic. I therefore get a letter in Spanish. Mom gets hers in Tagalog... The fact she's listed as being a member of Filipino societies? That list our phone number? Yes, she's received phone calls. I mentioned that, adding I don't think change in decor will do anything, but a typical Catholic would have a statue of Mary. I joke about wanting to put a Holy See flag up. 🇻🇦
One of our patients, well the mother has the same watch as me. Same band, same watch face. Lol. FYI, the watch face isn't the default. We laughed about it.
Got an email Book Revue is closing. I mean... I had seen it before on Twitter. But the email was from the owner. Said because of the 'Rona they weren't able to have celeb signings and had to close for a few months. He mentioned a lot of "fans" of the store (patrons?) collected money, but he's declining the offer because, it will cover the debt he owes, but the owner has raised the taxes 2x as much so even if he pays his debts he still can't maintain it at the price. It mentions he may change locations, but because of his age and health it may not be possible. Honestly... I would love to go there more, just the location is so inconvenient. It's in the village, the parking is on the street or in public parking lots which have time restrictions, like... I'd rather go to B&N which has it's own parking, etc. Sorry...
Marna caught me on the phone this AM and called me out on not answering the phone. Usually Leyda is good at multi tasking, but I was unaware she was with a patient testing their ears. Anyway... I was trying to call to reschedule my holter monitor placement. It's Wed at 9 AM to Thursday at 9AM and... I didn't want to come in 2 days late or... So I called to see if I can change it to Fri / Sat. They don't have holters that day. :( I guess I'll keep it. Like I said, I'm currently symptomatic. But... I told Marna I'll be late, maybe by 9:30 on Wed. But I'm not sure what I want to do for Thurs... Wait to take off the holter, shower then go to work or... Somehow wash my hair, come in and remove the holter. I don't really know. But I told her I might be late both days.
Mom activated her card which is connected to mine. I believe I tried to use my old card in the past after I had activated it and it didn't work. I looked on the web and it confirmed... Once you activate the new card the old will be disabled. This AM I realized I needed gas, but then remembered I didn't bring my new card. Ugh... I mean... I always carry emergency cash, but I've had bad experienced with paying in store for gas, so I'd rather avoid it. Anyway, I got gas this PM and... Let me test my card and see what happens. It worked. But then I know they run the CCs at a later date, so... I hope I don't get some notification it's been denied after the fact if that's possible. I also don't know if it means my card isn't activated. As I said, it's a joint card with my Mom. I never had to activate the card Dad gave me. So... We'll see. Yes, I put my new card in my bag.
I also got my new "enhanced" licenses. Still not the federal one. But lol... I think my pic is from when I was 22!

Related to a text... There was an ep of Top Gear how long they can drive on 1 tank of gas. Before it runs out your accessories go and you'd still have 20ish miles before it dies. That is a trip home.
When I called to reschedule my appt, I got a voicemail and then froze trying to remember my number. Thankfully they called my cell and not home.
