Holy busy day, Batman
I was up at 5:30 even though I didn't work today. Went to the gym for an abbreviated workout because I slacked in bed too long. Went to the doc at 9am, found out my iron is low again so I'm back on supplements for that but my Vitamin D is FINALLY up so I can cut back to half on that (it took over a year to raise it by 100 points, crazy!). Also my sugars are really great (even though I've been slacking in the healthy-eating and sugar-avoiding areas) so I can wait four months, instead of three, for my next blood test. They're also going to recheck my iron and thyroid to see if there's a reason the iron isn't absorbing properly, or if that IS the reason why it's low. I have a crazy fast digestive system so possibly there isn't time for my body to take it all in.
Did a bit of shopping for some baking I want to do (easiest cookie recipe ever- take some ripe or over-ripe bananas. Mash them up and add quick oats until it's a dough-y consistency. Bake. I SHIT YOU NOT. You can add anything else, really, like spices and coconut and I have some dark chocolate chips to spice them up but SERIOUSLY! That's IT. Bake for about 20 minutes, I think, or until they firm up), then went home and made poached eggs with this awesome cheese/garlic/onion bread I got at the bakery.
Went to the bariatric clinic for my monthly checkup for my dietician and nurse there, talked about working through some of my barriers because I feel like my progress is back sliding in terms of being on top of what I'm eating, keeping track of it and cutting out the shit. Got to get on that somehow. Have arrangements made to get into one of the other eating healthy clinics to see one of their counsellors for the brain stuff because my programme hasn't been able to get a psychologist on staff.
Went for a massage. Was a tough disappointed because this was my first therapeutic at my regular relax place because my regular therapist has to retake some tests to get certified again and there as was a mixup so the person I THOUGHT I was getting was not her. Instead I got the one who's a bit chattier and although her technique is fine I would have preferred someone a bit more forceful. I guess I'm used to my normal person who pushes me so hard that the next day I look for bruises, LOL.
Then I came home, shot the shit with mom, had some supper and then did a bunch of fandom stuff.
The haiku challenge for beacon_Hills, as well as the caption challenge which isn't due for a few days, YAY! Also did my extra challenge at mating_games for the week, which frees me up for a couple days to do the CHALLENGE challenge that I have no idea what to write yet. My default is to go to Derek/Stiles, which is fine, but I'd also like to take this chance to try my hand at some other pairings. We'll see.
I also read a bunch of fics so I could get those tabs cleared off my screen and friended a couple new people (hello!).
All in all a packed day, for a day I was supposed to have "off" from work, LOL.
How are you all doing?
