general weirdness



Recommended Posts

Okay, as part of the deal for me to go to school, my DH and son kept the cleaners so I wouldn't have a major freak-out everytime I came home from school. The cleaners come every two weeks, so my house stays in relatively good shape. I'm quite happy with the service we use, and I'll give you their name if you PM me.

Today was cleaners day. Some how it always manages to work out that they come the week I'm home, but that's how it goes.

Now the weirdness.

I went to turn on one of the living-room lights tonight and I noticed an odd lump on one of my chime boxes. Much to my surprise it was a dead bird! The cleaners carefully dusted and wiped down the little dead bird before placing it on the chime box, in a spot of prominance.

I have no idea where the poor little dead bird came from. But it died sometime today. It might have been a gift from one of our neighbor's cats... I'm thinking that they are hoping that by giving me an early Christmas gift I'll let them move in so they can eat my dog's food.

Anyone else have weirdness happen today? (and I don't think the Erin Saga counts as new weirdness. :) )

You'd have thought they would have brought the dead bird to your attention or left a note if you weren't there.

Weird indeed.

Just my husband being laid off again the day before Thanksgiving. Last year it was being let go from his job of 10 years 2 days after Christmas.

The things that make you raise your eyebrows, eh?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
