It's been a really long time since I have written anything of consequence here.
Since about May, I have been preparing for bariatric surgery. I am getting the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I am losing weight so that the surgery will be safer. I have acheived the 10% they suggest losing, and then some. I will continue what I am doing until surgery, I guess. Lots of carb counting and protein shakes.
We are taking care of some house things before fall and winter set in in the mountains. We are having the chimney looked at and cleaned before we start building fires. Throwing things away, re-arranging some things, cleaning, etc. Weather permitting, we will be hosting our first Christmas at our house for John's family. If money were no object, I would be getting a new stove/oven too, as mine dries everything out. It came with the house. I want a convection oven. My Mother-In-Law has one and it works beautifully. We also want to put in some hooks for stockings. I know they have those stocking holders you can get, but they charge and arm and a leg for them, I don't want to store them, and out mantle is shaped in a way that it would be hard to notice the hooks in the first place.
I am on a psoriasis med that is working wonders.
I got laser hair removal. Two treatments and it has already changed my outlook so much. Best thing I have ever done.
Last year, around November, the shit hit the fan and I started having these horrible anxiety and panic attacks. I was pretty much nonfunctional for a while. It was hard. I am on better meds and have Kaiser now, which is really awesome. But it is still something I struggle with.
That is about it for now.
