Frustrated and checking out on Day 117 AF

Our online health appointments with a doc usually works well cause you can forget about clinics or getting a family doctor. Been on wait list for 2.5 years since we moved here.
2 appt yesterday that stay open for 3 hours each waiting for a doc to pick up your file. After 3 hours they cancel the appt and you have to fill out the form again. Did twice yesterday, 6 hours in total… nothing.
Did again today, twice, just to have both cancelled after 3 hours each… Two days and 12 hours waiting for a doc to grab my lab results so we can discuss… nadda. Have to do all over again tomorrow… argghhh

Well anyway enough about my problems, they are inconvenient but small in the overall scheme of things.
Gym is all set up, other than waiting on a couple large mirrors and some vinyl and framed artwork for walls. Bose wireless sound system is set up, fans, and it is looking large for next winter’s hardcore workouts. Just maintenance for summer while working. Hopefully 3 x 45 min sessions per week.

Anyway here is the final pics minus artwork. Hope you enjoy @acromouse

Hope you all had a decent day at minimum, amazing or better at best :pray::heart::peace_symbol:

Thanks everyone for your support.
I got the job on the spot, it’s in an immigration/remand centre in Adelaide Australia and sounds so good, but they want to pay my $15/hour less than the award so I will need to negotiate that. That’s a big rip off. But will
Get my foot in the door as a mental health care nurse.
Otherwise, still crazily tired, slept for 15 hours last night and woke up tired, feel like sleeping more. But it’s a beautiful day here and really should get up and go for a walk and do some house work.
I don’t think it’s normal to be so tired? I don’t know.
Anyway, have a great day team :heart::roller_skate:

I can understand your frustration. I’m not fond of are healthcare system in the states and have wasted so much time on the phone working out coverage for this or authorization for that and blah blah blah!!! Hope it all gets handled tomorrow. Shouldn’t have to be so difficult. Your gym is looking awesome man! :ok_hand: If you get tired of the landscaping gig you can start selling gym memberships. If you were a bit closer I’d sign up.

Haha, and have people sweat all over it… no way!

Yeah the system isn’t always a cluster like this, it usually works ok, I guess till it doesn’t. Like I said small potatoes. It’s free so it is what it is.

I may let you use, but not the general public… they’re too… publicy… haha, jk

You’d have to build another gym for yourself. A gym away from the gym. :smile:

I actually feel a bit more myself tonight. The 4 hour nap i had earlier today gave me enough energy to get my cleaning done, play a couple board games with my son, cook supper, and now im relaxing with my son before he goes to bed. Then i will do some self care and relax with hubby before i get to sleep all night! Im sooo excited :smiley: lol i actually did have some thoughts of using today tho. Nothing major. Dealt with them as usual. Tmrw Im looking forward to going to the gym and running a couple errands. Not much else to report. We are expecting btwn 30-50cm of snow over the next few days and so gotta pull out the snow boots amd winter gear again. Yuck! Thought it was spring already. Anyway, have a great night!

Early check in, waiting to pick the kids up from school.
Nightshift again tonight so this day can go in the bank already. Heading in to work early as a favour to one of the guys on dayshift, last shift before days off.
Almost feel my days off are busier than when I’m at work

@Chevy55 that has to be frustrating. Even the little things do add up. I do hope you get someone to pick up your results and review with you tomorrow. That gym is looking amazing! No wonder you get excited about your workouts.
@Mali congratulations on getting the job. Hopefully you will be able to negotiate the pay and get some great experience for what you need. 11 days is impressive work and yes it’s totally normal to be this tired. Took me months to get my energy back. Your body needs time to heal and recover.
@Bomdhil thank you for your kind words my friend. :people_hugging:. 9 days Thomas :muscle:t4: is amazing…keep staying connected and stacking up the days :hugs:
@Butterflymoonwoman glad you were able to shoo away those thoughts. Damn! More snow? Hope it doesn’t stick and you get spring soon. Get some rest Dana … sweet dreams
@Rookie congratulations on your 80 days. Great work…keep it up :muscle:t4:

Checking in Wednesday night
497 free of alcohol and weed
912 days free of cigarettes

Had a good day. Symptoms and pain still bothersome but I did get in a great walk and some simple sets of movement.
Tried out a new recipe (roasted garlic pepper tofu) … Found out we can’t put parchment paper in our air fryer :fire:… Luckily I smelled it start to burn before any damage was done. Loved how the air fried tofu turned out and how it soaked up the marinade…it turned out delicious :yum:
Got all my month end accounting caught up and completed and spent some quality time with my brother. We finished the latest season of AHS. I didn’t care for it …the content is not as great as it used to be IMO.
Time for bed… wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day/night… sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

Day 18

Tomorrow will be a new record for the past 3 years :call_me_hand:t2:

Today was my only day off this week. Decently satisfied with how I spent it though, did about as much as I can expect for only having one day off.

Had a couple appointments, did laundry, sorted through some insurance bs, visited a favorite spot at a forest preserve, played a game ive been into lately, and spent some time with my dad and my cat.

Day 928 AF

Sup, gang.

Staying busy with work and the kiddos. Nothing new. We’ve been dealing with bathroom problems. We only have one bathroom, so we’re always fighting for it. Looks like we always gotta go at the same time. Can’t afford a 2 bathroom apartment. Gonna have to invest in a porta potty, lol. Talking about poop. We got a note from our manager about animal feces and a potential $45 violation. We don’t even have pets. Our neighbors don’t clean after their dogs and decide to relieve them in front of our unit. Shits disgusting. Stinking up the place. Lazy fucks. Smfh. We already mentioned it to our manager, but I guess she forgot.

Anyway, I went for a walk this morning, did laundry, and about to have dinner with the fam.

Goodnite y’all. Take care.ODAAT
