Oh boy, you got a lot on your plate. Sending positive vibes your way.
Thank you Sassy
Thank you Lisa
Ok writing helped. I got through- and now i can vent in person some more- my husband got back home from an out of country trip. Still mad and sad but a little less spinning in the head. Hoping I’ll get more sleep. Still ughhhhhh- but still throwing darts- one day an idea will stick.
This is one of my favorite quotes. I’m glad it popped up in my tracker
I need to be more consistent in working out… I wake up and tell myself I will, but want to have my coffee first- and most days get side-tracked! Or I have a meeting and miss my T/Th strength class- so trying to fill in the other days or at least make up the T/Th workouts. I feel like the fit of my pants are trending in the wrong direction- hahaha. Not good for summer!
I hashed it out with my friend- I guess that is smoothed over, but I’m still cautious and worried about how long until I feel comfortable again. And for the business it is like famine and then too much at once! life always goes like that… nothing nothing nothing- juggle everything- then repeat.
some things in the works.
trying to keep things in line, without messing up some of those business relationships. It’s either watch the competition come in - or be the competition… I guess I’d rather be the competition and make the money instead of watch someone else do it- especially if they are coming here anyway!
so here’s 1333. and hoping to hit my gym.
- Just checking in. Things are cruising. Summer is winding down. What was bothering me before had settled. Still looking for some new hobbies. All good.

Hope everyone is having a good day- Took a stroll to the beach- here’s a Pic of the sunset last night
Great picture.
My 1400th day was yesterday- I noticed it was coming up on my tracker a few days ago and wanted to mark it as a good day. But the day took quite a turn, so I never got my screenshot on my tracker.
I was working a boat for a small company get together and tour around the area. Some sand bars, some waterfront restaurant stops. The boat is a little big for a single handed trip- but figured it would be all right. I ended up getting my ring finger smushed by the windlass and anchor chain. The boat is not one I usually operate- and the owner said there was an issue and I tried to do what he said, “you have to guide the rope to the chain because it doesn’t switch automatically”. Basically a problem he knew about that I was trying to jimmy-rig by myself. Pulling anchor and not having a person at the helm, I was nervous and probably rushing- since I didn’t want to drift and run aground. Good times. Smushed good- ended up with a small fracture and 3 stitches from urgent care after the trip.
I have severe anxiety about needles and stitches, probably from having numerous accidents and injuries. So I pretty much turn into a mess when they are injecting the numbing needles and trying to do the stitches. Which is weird because I ran the boat for about 4 hours after the injury to finish their trip; I bandaged it twice with the help of a local restaurant. But when you get me in a Dr office with needles and knives I lose it. Really wish I had some anxiety meds at the Dr’s!
So long story short. I can get through B.S. without booze. Even when my nerves are at my worst. If I can, any of us can.
So sorry about injury. Congratulations on 1400 days
Ouch on your hand/fingers!!! Big congratulations on your 1,400!!! A very big deal!!!
Thank you so much Sassy!
Yay! Congratulations on 1400 days! That’s awesome!
Sucks about your finger. Ouchie!
Thank you Lisa!!!
I’m so beyond irritated with my medical options where I live. Day #6, finally have apt with primary care to get my ortho referral today and she cancels - and tells me to go to urgent care again. Probably to early for stitches removal, but I need to try to get the ortho referral. Urgent care doesn’t understand- and their co-pay is a lot higher.
VA is so backed up- they put me in a weird circle last week- can’t get dr apt until urgent care records uploaded- but went in circles with 4 depts to try and get that done- walked about a mile around the facility. Never saw my dr- but she’s supposedly going to refer me to ortho- but lord knows how long that might take. Meanwhile my finger looks crooked… hurts… and I can’t get a dam dr apt.
Well- I thought I was done with stitches… I finally got to an Ortho on Tuesday and he wanted Surgery on Wednesday. My nail wasn’t growing- and apparently i smushed my nail bed pretty deep. So reconstruction to try and get my nail in the right spot and pieced together to grow. So stitches again… and he thinks I might need reconstruction again in the future depending on how this grows… yeah.
I got the Ortho through the VA of all things- I was able to convince a scheduler to squeeze me in, and they gave me some story about their triage process and as long as I’m seen within a month (from their call- NOT injury date?!?!?) it’s OK. I get triage- and yes it’s just a finger break, but it is an Injury- Not like a slow onset problem. Which completely contradicted what the DR said when I saw him- He said he’d hoped to see me sooner- It might already be to late to save my nail bed.
STILL haven’t heard from my paid insurance referral… week 3- ugh- I really want to file a formal complaint- This was an acute injury and 3+ weeks to see a dr is insane!
Sorry- just venting- our health care is so out of whack and this is sad for me because I had really gotten into doing my nails myself (never did them while in military due to the regulations- and bought a bunch of fun halloween stuff to do… ugh
Oh no! Sorry to hear the injury is more complicated than original thought. Sending you healing vibes.
Thank you so much Lisa!
