No time to weigh in again this morning.
Fell! Been congratulating myself that I haven't fallen in awhile, especially since returning to work at corporate, dealing with Dial-A Ride, and driving myself when necessary. So it's 1 am (ish), I've watched/dozed thru my all of the late night talk shows. Daniel Craig, and Rami Malik on James Corden was a must see. Madonna on Jimmy Fallon was weird to say the least. Loved Trevor Noah's candid discussion with rapper Bobby Hall (AKA Logic. Missed Steven Colbert's "Meanwhile" but caught some of his Q&A with Sanjay Gupta. Flashback to my twenties - Kimmel and Fallon had Billy Idol and Reba McIntire as their musical guests, so flipping back and forth was oddly sad. Only snippets of Seth Meyer's, since I was staying tuned into the Late, Late Show for all of Daniel Craig's various bits.
Like I said, I've made it thru the line up, I'm finally relaxed enough mentally to doze off. Normally when I find myself doing that, I just reach out to my walker, but not this morning, NO! The brakes weren't on for some reason, and when I reached out to catch myself, it rolled away! Now I'm falling off the chair to the stone tile floor, crap! I manage to twist onto my side before impact, but still not great. Struggling to get my knees under me, and then forcing them to support me into a standing position...AGONY! Lil sis had left some magic balm, she believed Dr. Chen had given her, so now I'm slathering that on, before crawling between the sheets.
I refused to get up with the alarm, just reset it for 15 minutes later. Refused to get up again, and hit the snooze alarm, until I realized it was 8 already, and I CANNOT afford to call out sick. Slathered on more magic balm, grabbed my underwear, and headed out of the bedroom.
A quick brush of hair and teeth, grab a dress from the closet, and make for the dining room/kitchen. Take my 1st pill, feed the cats, grab the coffee, that I'd been smart enough to pick up last night on my way home, and haul ass! I'm 8 minutes late, but came in the door with 2 other coworkers, so my boss has so far left me alone today. Fingers crossed!
I brought the magic balm with me, and have had to re-up it once so far. Only 4 1/2 hours to go...breathing, breathing...
Here's how I look today. Not great, but still shows enough of a comparison for yesterday and the 70+ lbs I've lost since being on FS. Thank you all for the support, encouragement, and just being there!
