On Black Friday, I used my bank account to pay cash for a new computer.
As a result of my poor planning, I did not have enough left in the bank to finish paying my credit cards.
Now I may overdraw my bank account in order to get my last two credit cards paid on time this month.
Dumb of me.
On November 17, 2024, I weighed 218 pounds (or was it 216 pounds?} at the oncologist's office.
I have not used a typewriter in over forty years.
I have often wished for one.
And, lo and behold, Walmart is selling them again.
Yeah!
They even sell ribbons!
I stay fat because I regularly eat chips, cakes, cookies, and candy.
I bought a box containing ten small packs of Doritos n it, thinking I would use them for nachoes and the like.
I ate all ten packs of Doritos in a few days time, even thought I do not care much for
Doritos.
I weighed 237 pounds.
No changes. All is well.
Office is scheduling my yearly mammogram.
Next appoiintment with cancer doc (aka oncologist) is October 25th.
On Friday, May 24, 2024, I ate five small bags of chips.

Lunch was chips and dips, a 5-ounce sirloin, loaded mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob, with diet coke.
Earlier, I ate 2 bags of Cheetos and an almond job candy bar.
Even earlier I ate two small bags of chips and drank a diet shake.
Later, I ate two pieces of chocolate birthday cake that Bobby and Rachel bought me.

On Sunday, May 26, 2024, I took my Sunday dose of Fosamax.
Then I ate two slices of buttered toast.
I just figured my current BMI and it is around 41.
Current weight divided by height in inches squared times a multiplier of 703.
So today I realized that I sharedmy birthday with Bob Dylan and Priscilla Presley.
So today I figured out how to accurately log the calories in a bag of Cheetos.
The total number of calories in the bag is 1440.
So I eat one-third of the bag and log the calories consumed at 500.
Do the same thing the next time I eat from the Cheeto bag.
When I finish off the bag on the third day I consume them,I log the calories at 440.
When I went for my three month checkup to the cancer doctor's office, my weight was 225.2.
Today is Wednesday, March 20., 2024.
I have not weighed myself since my last visit to the NP.
I will weigh tomorrow.
Time is 2:30 p.m.
So far i have had an Equate shake and a cold sausage biscuit that I made 2 days ago.
Calorie count thus far is around 460.
My husband, who has diabetes, has started injecting himself once a week with Mounjaro. His first injection was on Sunday, March 3,2024.
He weighed 279 pounds at the doctor's office on Friday, March 1.
Since his injection he has been monitoring his blood pressure, blood sugar, and bowel habits.
His blood pressure and blood sugar have been good. He takes other medications for these conditions as well, including Metformen,.
He takes Gabapentin, Metformin, Valsartan, Simvastatin, Hydrochlorathiazide, Propanolol, Amlodipine Besylate, Pantoprazole, NP Thyroid, Glimeperide, Allopurinol.
He also takes saw palmeto, an over the counter medication.
He feels nauseous and very tired, but he has regular elimination.
When I first started college in January of 1973, I declared that German was my major.
Over 51years later, I still suck at German.
I went through the first two years of German language studies in seven months.
Then I kept "chickening out" during third-year German courses. I would enroll in a third-year college German course and then drop the course.
I had a paralyzing fear of failure that led me to repeatedly drop courses I was in danger of failing.
So now that I have already lived longer than the life expectancy for a woman born in 1948 had at my birth, which was 73.1 years, I am working on "bucket list" tasks I hope to complete before I die.
Becoming proficient in the German language is on that bucket list.
I ordered used German workbooks to fill out.
