19. My PhD. Took me long enough (the better part of eight years) but now I can answer when the airline pilot asks if there's a doctor on board. 🤣
20. My bamboo sheets. Oh my gosh, if you've never slept in bamboo sheets they are INCREDIBLE

Awwwww good morning to you too gorgeous (to be fair, it's evening where I'm sitting). Don't you wish we had Star Trek transporters so we could beam over for a visit and a cuppa.

20) one small thing that brings you joy - Nature. It doesn’t matter if it’s a beautiful sunrise or sunset, the birds chirping , seeing deer in our yard. All of it just makes me happy
21) balance - to get exercise in more consistently. I get at least 3 days a week but I know I can do better

20. It still is cold in Ohio, even though we now are officially into Springtime. God made up for it by sending some spectacular sunsets recently, and I bet they're even more so in Heaven on the other side!

March 20 & 21:

One small joyful area is finding small pockets of bliss and sanctuary in this crazy world.

I could always use more balance with trying to make sure i get enough sleep. I do not. Busted...

This is hard-- I have been lax some days about commenting and instead obsessing over other stuff...so that is my 21. I need to not obsess over things that are not in my control and just take it as it comes...day by day :)

21. More balance...I would say I could use more balance between work and play. Work seems to be a little much these days.

B-side - fun childhood outdoor activity - Riding! Horseback riding! But, I always loved being outside and I still do.

Oh yes, savasana and warrior for yoga today.

I'm doing really well this month despite stall when I was crook. I'm sooooo close to making my March goal!
21. I could do with more balance in my sleep. Its either too much or too little. My circadian rhythm is pretty skewiff.
22. Biggest victory so far has to be losing over 32 kilos so far with my surgery. I never believed it was possible that this could actually work, and every day I wake up smiling b/c of it!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
