weather forecast is rain so if it holds off, I’ll be able to bike - otherwise I am considering driving to the gym and paying for just today to go on an indoor bike as being off all day I want to get in activity even if it rains
it rained all afternoon since 4pm and my activities took until after 4pm. i decided not to do any more exercise besides the weights in the morning - if it's nice out, i'll do a partial walk home tomorrow as well as maybe a short bike ride after i get home...or just a bike ride :) i'll see tomorrow.
___________________________________________
EXERCISE weights workout will happen after breakfast! :-D
done! 1pm dermatologist...proably didn't leave there until around 1:45pm..was good.
done! - buy more fruit at good supermarket on the way home from derm & seltzers & iced coffee - i was prob in the supermarket 45min.
done! - return an amazon shower head at Kohl's by me (that's the return policy for this item lol i'm lucky Kohl's is pretty darn close - 5-10min by car) (after dermatologist, on the way home) THIS TOOK A LONG TIME, THERE WAS A LONG RETURN LINE...actually prob not that long, but at least a 20min line i'd say.
2- bike ride (20-30min) in afternoon sometime around 4pm?
done! 3- 6pm Podiatrist close to home 10 min walk :)
done! - cooking the last of my veggies from a week and half ago they are still OK. making my favorite vegan collard greens recipe - i have 3 zucchini and 2 baby bok choy...just in time to cook before i get a new delivery tomorrow :) (maybe do cooking in evening)
- maybe get my nails done at a salon as they are long and could use a shaping, OR, i can do that at home with my "sticker" manicure polish...this option is the better option - the home option is better since i have 3 packs to use still that i previously bought, each pack is $10.

_________________________________________
planning on eating light and late this evening bc of concert. i am taking an opportunity to eat light since it coincides with work/travel/easy day to manage things.
______________________________________
i'm going to a special organ concert tonight at THE RIVERSIDE CHURCH. it's famous and historical. half hour by train from work. I get out JUST IN TIME to make the concert with a little time to spare. to add to this special occasion, i know someone else who will go! he's the Music Librarian from when i was in college back in 2000-2007 (undergrad/master's part time!) it will be so nice to see him. he's an older, interesting, nice man. Can't wait to catch up!!! he goes to most of the summer concert series there.
______________________________________
had an argumentative discussion with my mom today.... basically thru the grapevine she actually heard about the "elementary school reunion" and about how in a group message someone asked me if i was going!!! she actually heard about it even before i knew about this because i turned off notifications to the group chat about it! she never told me though that she heard.
and basically my mom "heard" thru the grapevine that i was ignoring the person who asked if i was gonna come! LOL LOL. i wasn't purposely ignoring her in particular, but the WHOLE GROUP CHAT!!!!!! i didn't even know she wrote particularly to me!!!
so get this, i called my mom this morning, telling her that there was a reunion on the same night i had a bbq with my mom and dad and family...and she all of a sudden starts telling me how rude i was to ignore the girl who invited me!??????????
she totally didn't invite me...and it was a GROUP CHAT. not a personal invite. i was ignoring (turned off notificaitons) so what i don't see i cannot reply to!
basically, my mom wouldn't except what i said (she's not on fb and doesn't get it) and said no matter what it's rude not to reply to an invite to the reunion!!!! HAHAHA it wasn't an invite but a group chat where someone asked me in particular if i was going to go...
it was an annoying morning with my mom and reminders of the reunion i was trying to forget about!!!!!!!!!!!!
i couldn't ignore my mom...i told her she has no right to tell me i'm rude, she doesn't know facebook, it wasn't an individual invitation, etc. etc. she doesn't know what it means to turn off message notifications. my mom is clueless, but, still, she thinks she can tell me i'm rude not responding to a mesage i didn't seee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
i told my mom off. not the best and i could have held back, but her criticisms of my behavior got me rather annoyed at the whole situation, AGAIN.
That's too bad about your mom. I think you got it right when you said she doesn't get it. So now you have another negative memory of a negative memory.
I'm not sure why this was so important to your mom, too even bring it up.
i brought it up to my mom bc on facebook i decided to tell everyone they look fabulous on a photo i saw. LOL...and the woman that i particularly think nothing good about wrote "you should have come!!!". sorry, but, i shouldn't have done anything i didn't want to do! i think she's an idiot! anyways, i wrote back "i had a family obligation".
i wrote that asnwer to her bc that's been her biggest excuse for everything she didn't show up to for my sister - she missed my sister's bridal shower and bris of my sister's baby when we all went to her's. so, i wanted to use that excuse on purpose (but i did end up going to a bbq with my parents)
but, because my mom is at the beach and this is DEF where she heard all this info of how rude i am and about the reunion, i wanted to give my mom a head's up that if anyone asks, we had a bbq planned.
however, before i could get into it, my mom went into a spiel of how i am so rude not to repsond to an invite.
NOBODY declined the invite, only the ones that wanted to came would participate in the chat. why should it be different for me?
my mom is friends with her mom, but i think this woman - the one who chatted one line in the chat saying "jackie are you gonna come!?" ...when i wasn't following the chat to begin with...i owe her NOTHING. i don't need to follow a chat.
this goes to show why it's great i didn't go. i don't need to deal with people like this. i don't need to deal with someone that demands any answers or actions from me. i don't need this in my life! and someone, it's following me. i commented on the photos on purpose, to be nice...and i responded to that girl i dislike on the photo bc i didn't want her to think i was "ignoring her comment"
just goes to show, sometimes it's better to say nothing and do nothing! as usual, the more you say, the deeper the consequences.
with my mom, any more situations coming forward, i will ignore her. i repeat, I WILL LEARN TO IGNORE PEOPLE WHO ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY. they don't deserve explanatinos anymore - especially if the explanation is obvious to me. it wasn't worth it.
next time, i'll say, you say what you want, and i'll decide what's best for me!
thanks donkey.
my mom is wrong to just believe other people about a situatino she isn't part of. she someties has low self esteem and thinks i must act like the group does. she doesn't understand people who are different. and she has trouble being different herseelf, she doesn't like to do anything against the grain. she's good friends with two mother's of the 2 ladies going to the reunino....but she doesn't realize i particulary dislike several of the people at the reunion.
honestly, my mom knew bc the other mom discussed it with her, with a very opinionated view. i'm once again reminded of one thing - stay away from that family, stay away from eveeryone in that nasty family. what jerks to atually stimulate a controvery that gets back to me.
yea...i ended up telling the woman (my age) who i don't particularly think well of - i told her i had the notifications off and there was no intention of rudeness as i wasn't following the chat and for her, when she has a chance, to tell her mom/my mom. !!!!! i had enough of the nonsense.
so i didn't go to the reunion, but, the stress still came to me!!! hahahahaha
the woman who started this shiznit should maybe watch herself and how she portrays things to her mom. LOL. it's all nonsense and sadly i wasted a lot of time thinking about it all the past few days!!!

Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
for the smoothie, i used about a cup of cottage cheese, 14 strawberries, small amount vanilla, small amount sf maple syrup and tablespoon pb. the strawberries were frozen so i kept adding some as the blender would allow, since it's hard for the blades to cut thru only frozen stuff without a little liquid involved if you get me..it was good, but boring - and the recipe was advertising a "pudding" when it really was just a smoothie as it was very thin. still good with oatmeal though instead of my yogurt. i have half left still!. ..maybe i'll freeze it until this coming weekend.
do you think it'll stay fresh a whole week?

7day : 2095.
_______________________________
Today i'll make sure to enjoy the weather and walk home partially at least :) maybe grab on iced tea from starbucks on the walk too (it'as around 6pm and i'm with an appetite usually, so this obviously helps me at that hour)
Plans are to do some walking, do more soaking of legs (still doing the epsom salt baths at least 2x per week - it's def relaxing and i'll keep at it) and go to bed at a reasonable hour.
Tomorrow, i'm totally going to do some cooking & baking, but before that Ricky will come over to help me with a shower head / hose installation :) also i'm giving him my bike to fix and for him to see if i need a new air pump (nice to have a handy-man which he is 100% of that - very capable without prior experience many things...he likes to fix things!)
And like i mentioned earlier in an entry a few days ago, i have a really nice plan for Saturday night (German beer garden restaurant with live disco band and "authentic german food" - which is WAYYYY better than Sunday's option to go to a reunion with people of whom MOSTLY don't work in the summertime, have more flexible schedules, and want to be out late on a Sunday night...for me, i don't need to see them, discuss babies, discuss my life, or be out late before a busy week :)
"authetic german food" - i'll prob get the fried shrimp, but what i really want is the beer batter fried fish...so, we'll see...lol, if you consider that German LOL. they do have German food, though, that's NOT what i want to get!
Progress as of today: -2.2 lbs lost so far, only 3.2 lbs to go!
Glad to see you are benefiting from the epsom salt baths! I try to get one in about every two weeks - every time I do, it helps me recover faster.
It's so nice to have someone handy nearby; I am dependent on BF for a lot of fix-it type things now (I used to try to do everything myself); he is also one of those people who likes to fix things. I've got him booked to re-do my backyard deck this year! I can't wait :)
and the epsom salts i look forward to either tonight or tomorrow morning
LOL, shrimp and fish are not German - but get what you want; that way, you won't be disappointed. Besides, the ambiance is German.
Kombucha 50

Blah blah blah - CAKE. LOL! Actually, I love almond milk, and after having gone sometime without, I bought another carton. There is a delicious keto chia seed pudding you can make with it. I tried it with flaxseed - not quite the same, but I ate/drank the mixture anyway because I added dark chocolate cacao to it - YUM.
Did you get your bike fixed? Did you get time to take it out for a spin?
Ricky really fixed my bike really really well. it's working great and i'm glad. very clean.
i did get to bike two days ago and will bike today at the park! we're driving our bikes into the city! free jazz concert also outdoors. and cheaper food - Jamaican style is on our list. :)
everything good. and lots of time being spent at home, too, thankfully!
the cake was very good, the inside was cocoa creme and it was from an Italian manufacturer. not bad for a packaged cake!
Maria7 on 08/10/2019:
Sounds like you are having a happy day!
It was good yes indeed :)
