Today was my first day on the lathe for some serious wood cutting since before surgery. I discovered an unintended (or unforeseen) consequence. My smock which keeps the wood chips from going down the inside of my shirt is now too big, and cannot be tightened enough to be snug around my neck. And believe it or not, I have a funny story about this, which involves wood chips, Mrs. LittleBill's underwear, and threats made to my safety. Hundreds of people at demos have heard it.

The world is ending for us poor Texans. White stuff is falling from the skies and it's COLD. Brrrr!

I was 8 when we left, and always said I wanted to move back. But I blew the one chance I had before I got married and had a kiddo with a Texan. Then I was stuck here until the custody agreement expired. At that point I'd married another die-hard Texan and developed auto-immune arthritis and lost my tolerance for the cold. So I guess I'm stuck here. LOL.

Oh, it'll be pretty, clear, and cold but above freezing tomorrow. If you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait. So this is going to be short-lived, but everyone freaks out anyway. I have the option to work from home, so I drove home at lunch and everyone was already driving like complete morons. The snow/ice on the road never scares me remotely as much as the other drivers. I'm glad to be out of it before rush hour.

Uploaded progress photos to my gallery last night. I still think I look like crap in a sports bra and bike shorts, but I am seeing a definite change.

Yeah... I'm down to the point that I have to hit a resale shop or something, Virtually every top I have is almost ridiculously huge. I'm lucky that I hung onto pants/jeans because I've always been AWFUL to fit in pants... VERY curvy with a HUGE difference between hips and waist, in addition to being tall. So I'm set probably until I get pretty close to goal for bottoms, but tops are much more of an issue than I'd thought they'd be. LOL. I HATE clothes shopping. But right now I have almost no clue what size I'm wearing or what will look good on me, so I guess it's to the shops I go.

Some special snowflakes around here, for sure.

D'awwww, thanks. Every day that I go to put on my pants now, I look at the pants (I'm down like 4 sizes from my highest) and think "there's no WAY these are going to fit over my butt". And then they do, and I'm happy. The jeans I'm wearing now have been in my closet almost 16 years because "someday I'll get back down to that weight". And I did. WOOHOO. Of course, my daughter's comment was "you know what's sad, Mom? that you HAVE THEM IN YOUR CLOSET STILL". LOL.

I love seeing the newly post op encouraging other newly post op to make questionable choices.

Y'all. I'm seriously amused.

I'm a BAAAAAD AntiChick. Just realized with the FREEZING FREAKING COLD today (Saturday started out at 72 and ended at 19, gotta love Texas) I haven't felt like drinking anything today except my protein shake. I'm going to get dehydrated and have yet another migraine if I don't down some fluids!!
-
@Djmohr ... yeah, but you CHOSE to live in the Tundra. LOL. I grew up in Alaska. I used to miss the cold. Until I developed auto-immune arthritis. Now it can suck it. LOL. My abortive (Maxalt) works fine. I just need to get them to stop happening so often. I gave up and went back on Topamax, but we're just starting out at the low dosages now, so it'll take a while. Sigh.

I'm so impatient... I want to be a vet already so I can post in the vets forum!! Wahhhh! LOL.

So I got into a size 12 jeans today. OK..so I couldn't breathe and I looked like a stuffed sausage but I got into them. LOL!!!

My Instant Pot is a success.

Instant Pot's sales went way up over the last 24 hours! I should totally get a cut.

59# down today. ilostwhat.com says that's the same as 640 Oreos. LOL. Thanksgiving with my family will be way different this year!

Under 300 pounds for the first time in a long time! (I'm still pre-op) I love the fact that this surgery will make onederland a possibility for me.

Labs from last week came back... my vitamin levels are all good, and my protein indicator is acceptable, but could use to be higher, so need to focus more on protein. Rheumy labs came back with my markers slightly elevated, but not horrible. Overall, very good results.

@Caribear, doing OK so far, joints got achy when the front came through but not horrible.
