I forgot to take my medicine.

I'll mention again, I have installed an app on my phone that I have found to be really helpful in preventing this.

Askye, if you have an iphone, you can set up medication reminders without any additional apps.

he says that he can't wait to see Walz wipe the floor with Vance in a debate. Then he says guy is awesome. What!?! That to me is a good sign.

Apparently the kids dig him. Glad they went with someone who will help get out the younger voters.

Pix, glad (not goad) things are easing for you. I wish you a peaceful vacation and a condo buyer ASAP.

Yeah, I have morning and evening reminders at this point because a couple of the meds will mess me up if I miss taking them.

Technically my first alarm should be my med reminder, but I keep turning it off or sleeping through it. And then my For Real Get Up Alarm should be when I just get up and take it but I haven't done that either. I need a dedicated alarm of Take Your Meds Seriously!

I also need to adjust my For Real Get Up Alarm because school starts ..Thursday...so there will be more traffic.

I realized I left a step off of M's Bandage Sandwich...it should be hemostat, non stick, gauze pad, gauze wrap, then tape. So I can see some seepage through (he also hasn't kept his foot up as much today but he's been more awake and I can't really blame him). It may have to be changed again.

Dinner has been made and eaten! We have leftovers from lunch, leftovers from dinner (maybe), leftovers cooked chicken. We just need some fresh veggies and we are good for some easy meals. I made a kind of dirty rice inspired dish and honestly I may make it the veggie and meat part and freeze it to take to work lunches and just pick up microwave rice packets to go with it. (so I don't have to cook rice again). grab that, a little side of cheese, and then some rice.

Honestly the combo if rice + protein + cheese and I'm happy. Yesterday I mixed a tuna packet with half a microwave rice packet, some salsa, and grated cheese and it was yummy.

Right now I'm watching the replay of the Women's Skateboard Park Prelim Heats. After the ParaOlympcis I'm dumping Peacock but I'm glad I have it to watch all this cool stuff- I've also watched Kayak Cross (need to catch up on it) Skateboarding, BMX Freestyle, and some swimming , Hammer Throw prelims (no announcers on that so that was odd) . The youngest Olympic athlete is a skateboarder-- Zheng Haohao of China-she's 11!! Although there seems to be that weird age gap where the female athletes are much younger than their male counterparts, not sure why.

Honestly the combo if rice + protein + cheese and I'm happy.

We refer to this as "stuff in a bowl" and it's awesome.

Tonight's dinner is going to be a giant salad with chicken or seafood, because it is fucking HOT.

I was craving the burger and fries at a local haunt, so that's where we went for din-din.

Rice + drained can of tuna + a little lime juice = yum. I also like rice + cheese, no additional protein. Dad has always been big on making a big pot of rice (or other grain, but often rice) and whatever proteins are lying around and any veggies that have to be used up. Perhaps the dominant form of the many dishes he refers to as "poverty food"

I had Popeyes for lunch because I was resenting the annual "Health Fair" at work. Included red beans and rice, now that I think about it. Because it's practically Monday

We've had the tuna packets on sale for $1 so I bought a bunch. I bought some microwave rice packets on clearance when we were getting rid of them so I am taking what I have left of those to keep in my locker. Then I just have to grab some cheese and salsa in the morning to have something. Until my rice packets run out.

The Check Engine light in the work car is indeed the Camshaft sensor going off -- but it might only be the sensor itself that needs replaced. Reliable garage is checking it out.

I had a longish ride and a wait, so I left the van parked and walked to a hardware store. It turns out that they didn't have any smoke alarms that weren't either hard-wired or with a 10-year lithium battery, and they ran about $35!!! I know it's been a while since I bought one (more than ten years, for sure) but geeze, that's expensive.

I also like rice + cheese, no additional protein.

Rice and cheese = good. Rice and cheese with a couple of eggs cooked over-hard = good. Rice and cheese with shredded rotisserie chicken = good. Basically, rice and cheese can do no wrong.
