they will be going back to said Middle School to see the teachers that they didn't get to say goodbye to.

That is so sweet. Gratifying on both sides I'm sure.

Yay for normal bones and progress in treatment!

Apparently my bone density is currently normal.

Awesome!

And I have now completed 50% of my treatment.

Woo, halfway mark!

Aw, yay, Matilda. That'll be sweet.

Yay normal bones!!

Also I got my covid test back and it was negative, so I probably just am having heartburn and anxiety. Yay? But really yay because I have fun plans this weekend for my birthday and I would’ve had to cancel! I did skip events Monday night and Tuesday night just in case, so that’s a bummer, but better than feeling guilty for spreading to everyone.

Laura go you! I am definitely over that line, and used a measuring tape on myself today and was v depressed by the result. But also not managing to eat right or work out (and working out sucks so much more when you’re doing it with 50 extra pounds!)

Yeah, I have to get back to working out. I back burnered it due to knee, weather, and various other Perfectly Valid reasons. I have me some good intentions though!

This isn't that big to me considering how I feel about that measure, but my doctor will be super pleased.

Your doctor should listen to the Maintenance Phase podcast! (As should everyone interested in the weight loss industry.)

Looks like my Dad will be getting discharged from the hospital tomorrow and will be moving into inpatient rehab. I'm worried about how anxious he'll be but glad my Mom will get a break from physically taking care of him full time.

I hope your dad benefits from the rehab, and of course that your mom can get some rest.

Timelies all!

Yay for normal bones!

The coworker with car trouble was back at work at his usual time. Good thing, because it was super busy today.(In other words, a typical Wednesday)

Fragment of an Electric Company song: "Happy Birthday, Miss Jones, you sure got nice...bones..." Apropos for good bone density scans, methinks.

I am reading everything and really want to wish Lisah dad~ma, Teppy post dad ~ma that he was reachable with the guns, best wishes to sumi on treatment and general all around ma.

I think work/Covid-19. has broken me. I have spent the past three weeks trying to explain to several different university offices that the students I work with literally cannot upload their vaccination cards to a system that needs your university email account when they do not have university email accounts, while being held accountable for these students being non-compliant even though they were accepted after the Covid-19 vaccine status deadline. So I was between students who got terrifying emails and people who would not supply instructions as to how they could become compliant. With our Dean wanting 100% compliance. The last communication I have from the compliance office is that my students were considered visitors, and I needed to collect the compliance myself, which I did. Then no communication until my folks all got emails that they were being deregistered, even though I had all of their vaccine info and they could not upload it to the central system. Also they were being chastised for not being complaint by August 1st, which was AFTER they were accepted to the program. The mess ended up including the University Provost. I had tried to be proactive and figure out what to tell the students and was told to handle it myself, and then reprimanded for handling it myself.

Jesus, Sophia, how infuriating.
