sonjajade Hello! Not dead! Just busy- I had weight loss surgery on 11/20 and am recovering remarkably well. It was a vertical sleeve gastrectomy, and so far I'm loving my new tool. Already down lower than I thought I'd be only a week or so out. Eating is kind of a pain because it's all so bland right now, but I get to add peanut butter, bananas and applesauce today, so maybe that will help some. Looking forward to next week when I can have beans, cheese, and soft tortillas. Even if I can't finish a bean burrito, at least it will taste and feel like real food and not another chalky protein shake or a much too sweet protein water.
It was a laparoscopic procedure so the scarring is minimal and healing beautifully. I can already sleep on my stomach! Still being extra careful, but I'm really surprised how easy it was. Some friends of mine did not have such an easy time. I recall healing relatively painlessly and quickly from my c-section too... maybe I just deal with surgery in general very well.
In other news, I've been unofficially running Joey's cub scout den and tomorrow night will be officially named leader at the pack meeting. LOVE MY BOYS! Maybe it's because they're not all MINE lol. We're doing a skit for the Holiday Party, a Stranger Things rap that parodies the scouts as if they were demogorgons. Yeah, I have to make 6 demogorgon masks and props, and compose an 80's style beatbox rap beat on my keyboard for Monday night's rehearsal. That's our only time to practice because I didn't know we were going to even do this until this past Monday. Winter party is Dec 11th. hoo boy, thank goodness I'll almost be at full eating stage by then lol.
I started my FMA Secret Santa fic but get so distracted with everything else going on that I haven't worked much on it. I need to go back and expand some things in the beginning.
Any tips on how to keep this dog from chewing everything in my house to shreds? I've only ever taken a dog to a shelter once and that was because we couldn't break him of the chewing bullshit. On the edge and ready to do it with this one.
IF YOU'D LIKE A CHRISTMAS CARD AND YOU'VE NEVER GOTTEN ONE FROM ME IN THE PAST, SEND ME YOUR ADDRESS!!!! I saved addresses I've sent to before, so those folks are good. But if you want one and have never gotten one from me before, I'll be glad to put one in the mail!
