Hangs head in shame....back again***Diary of Kaplooie***

Meh, skin conditions suck! Hope it gets better soon. Some you-time may well be the perfect medicine :party:
 
Sorry your workout partner is being a bit flakey. I haven't had a workout partner, and though at times it would be nice to, it's also nice to just do whatever workout I want at whatever time in the day it works best for me, rather than waiting around for someone else to be available.
Hope your skin clears up quickly!
 
This weekend has been a disaster of bad eating! Friday J and I went out for a date night and ate sushi, a lot of it and got way too drunk. Went to a birthday party yesterday for his best friends son and had TWO pieces of pizza and CAKE. I'm trying to behave myself today. Went shopping for the once a week cook-a-thon that is about to take place. I'm trying to motivate myself for that right now. Watched movies at J's last night and he grilled burgers and I ate mine without the bun. A bunch of his buddies were around and he kept bragging about what an awesome girlfriend I am so I had a pretty good night last night swimming in that glowing review.

It's beautiful today so I want to get out and go berry picking and walk the dog. Hopefully I can get all this food prepped and cooked and the weather will still be nice when I'm done. One of the recipes I'm making is curried chicken, it takes a while to cook, in a dutch oven. But when it comes out its so tender and amazing. Decided to do all 5 chicken breasts I bought that way, its going to be so good but I'm going to spend all week with curry breath. Hope J likes that...sexy ;) And then I'm going to do up a whole bunch of beef strips fajita style so that I can make low carb fajita bowls. And I found a recipe for spinach chips and I think I'll cook those but they will probably never make it past the kitchen door before I eat them all in one sitting.
 
Enough of that bad eating KP!! I love chicken curry!! I am really happy for you that this relationship with J is going from strength to strength. I'm also glad that he is aware of your awesomeness xoxo Cate
 
Glad you had a good weekend even if you indulged a bit. Great job on the prepping. I'm getting a bit sick of taking salads to work so maybe if I'm still feeing unwell tomorrow instead of working out I will cook some quick grab meals for the week!
 
Good work for doing a big weekly meal prep! It's so much easier once the food is there, much less temptation for the naughty stuff. Good work!
 
I know, my temptations usually lie in wine and whiskey though. I can usually rally myself around behaving food wise but I can consume an extra 1000 calories in booze and barely get a head change from it. I come from a family of hardy drinking stock, lol! Our bloodline survived the black death by just staying drunk...or that's the family lore anyways.
 
I must confess to having a big capacity for alcohol. It's taken me a while, but I am now capable & willing to show some self control (mainly because of the calories!) I feel like doing a happy dance KP because, at long last, I dropped another kilo!! YAY!! I'm back in the race :D xo Cate
 
It's always so weird for me to hear about people who's extended family drink. Virtually my whole extended family does not drink pretty much at all. It'd be very weird to drink in front of them (I don't actually drink either but not because my family doesn't, though it didn't hurt). I actually had never been to a wedding that had alcoholic drinks until a year or 2 ago!
 
Cate: What?!?! I need to weigh, but AFTER TOM bloat goes away. I'll give it a few more days.

Mystic: I have a very large extended family and not all of them drink. My Mom didn't for years because she had teenagers in the house so she just quit and kept the booze out of the house. I still remember when she got remarried when I was 18, and there was only one young teen in the house left (my sister was 15) and she got wasted after her wedding, it was surreal. Now the older people don't drink as much as when we were young but now, 52 cousins...we dominate the family events and we are all in our 20's and 30's so things get crazy.

I have a massive headache this afternoon and it sucks because its nice outside and I'd like to be out there enjoying it but the sunshine IS KILLING ME!!! I have a doctors appointment on Thursday which I have been waiting for for 5 weeks and I need badly and it's "that" kind of Dr. and "that" kind of appt and wouldn't you know Aunt Flo would decide to visit THIS WEEK. I called the clinic, and the receptionist was like, and this is gross and too much TMI so if you are of a weak constitution stop reading..."If its not heavy flow day our Doctors are able to handle the situation." EWWW!!! I don't even like to "handle the situation" !!!! Effin GAG.

So. I'm quitting smoking. My teeth can't handle it anymore. Or more like my teeth can't handle the bleaching three to four times a year anymore and neither can my budget. So I bought a vape...thing...and it arrived today. Tomorrow I shall start vaping. I would jump on it right now but...headache. I've been a smoker on and off since highschool. Off when I was pregnant with the kiddo. Off that one time I blew up to 253 lbs. Off that one time I had pneumonia and was hospitalized for 6 days and on oxygen and nebulizer treatments for 8 weeks. Off that one time I dated that guy who hated smokers. But mostly on. So this is a moderately big step for me. I got e-juice that has 18mg of nicotine in it to start with, I'm going to cycle down to zero and then try and quit the "crack pipe" which is what J calls it ;) He's a smoker too, so I'm pushing really really hard for him to follow suit and vape with me. I remember this one time in college I found these amazing french cigarettes at a tobacco shop in Seattle that were vanilla flavored and then never found them again (mostly because I never went to a fancy schmancy tobacco shop again because smoking became very utilitarian and JUST GIVE ME A CIGARETTE DAMMIT). So I got very excited about all the flavors e-juice comes in and really, that was the selling point. My brother started going through all the flavors he loves and then my friend Dat started vaping and his cotton candy e-juice smelled so damn good. So now I have Caramel, pumpkin spice chai tea and coconut.
Oh dammit, I just got so excited about pumpkin spice chai tea I had to do it, I had to bust out everything and try it. And its so good...oh. my. gawd. I'm so glad I did this. Now I don't have to worry about bloating up to a million pounds from quitting and doing the compensatory eating thing.

Anyways...Going to eat some curry. Which also makes me happy. And watch TV. And try and shake this headache. Have a great night ya'll. I'm coming to your diary and I'm stalking you. Yes, I'm probably talking to you if you are reading this.
 
You sure were talking to me KP & you didn't have to even stalk me. I know that I would really like you if I met you. I know it!
Re: families- it would be extremely weird if our family got together & did not drink wine. It just would not happen. It is so much a part of our get-togethers- good food, good wine, great family times xoxo Cate.
PS weird doctors you have btw! Not TMI for me, but very weird!
 
I'm having a crappy day. :( J and I had a fight last night. Well, J and my kiddo had a fight because of course the kiddo see's J as a temporary element in his life and is not invested in our relationship so he mouthed off to him and J got mad and yelled at him which caused me to yell at J...and it just went all downhill from there. J went home. And then a few hours later called me and tried to hash things out but I'm a mama bear, you don't mess with my kid. And he always has and always will come first in my life. So there's that. I turned my phone off so don't know if he's tried to call or text today.

And work is lame today. I'm having trouble getting ppwk to my boss because the internet at the office is super slow so I came home to do it and the email server is super slow uploading files. Blahhh!! The only really good thing I have going for me today is that its the Season 10 premier of Ghost Hunters tonight on the Syfy channel. I've been looking forward to it for weeks. So I think tonight I'm going to keep the phone off, make fajita bowls for the kiddo and me, and maybe some popcorn for him, drink some wine and enjoy the show.
 
J will have learned a very valuable lesson & if he hasn't then maybe he isn't around for the long term. Turn your phone on sweetie. Give the man a chance, xoxoC
 
I have a huge extended family too but they are almost all religious and don't drink except maybe the odd single glass of wine.
I sorry you had a fight with J. I hope whatever you decide to do in that regard works out for you.
And that sucks work wasn't helping your mood, though maybe your mood wasn't helping work haha. I often get into that state of mind. Work is actually 'normal' but it feels worse cause every little thing pisses me off!
 
Cate: I left the phone off, more on that later.
Mystic: Its work, its really really work but not the stuff I have to do but the people I have to do it with. If you get me there.

So, I left my phone off last night, but J showed up at my house anyways. Completely piss drunk. He went out with our mutual friend Slutty (a guy, a really formerly slutty guy), and Slutty somehow convinced him that he HAD to come to my house, so many shots into whisky, and smooth things over with me, at 1am. I was not a happy camper.

Anyways, had a busy day at work, both handymen are out sick. I was swamped with repairs and then found out they had omitted telling me key information about a gigantic eff-up they had the other day. Then, right as I was leaving, after starting at 0630, a wall of frozen squid in the cold storage we rent to a guy who just had double bypass surgery collapsed and I wasn't about to leave him and his one employee to pick it all up by themselves so I ended up throwing about 20,000 lbs of frozen squid bags onto pallets for a few hours inside a freezer that is maintained at 0d F. I was paid well though, in beer. And now I stink, the kiddo is finally fed for the night and I just want to curl up in my bed and sleep. I'm just glad I had plenty of breaks today to run outside and enjoy the 70 degree sunshiny weather and the wifi...mostly the wifi. I guess the other good thing that happened today was that I checked the mail and the kiddo and I got our SEAHAWKS jersies!!! Ready for the pre-season game on saturday and every single game for the rest of the season!!! I was disappointed that the 2XL that I ordered actually fits me instead of being big...I'll have to work on that...

Today was pretty good keto style and also IFing. I didn't really eat anything of substance until 7pm. Then I had a fajita bowl with greens. Before that a few beers but between 0630 when I had coffee and like 1630, nothing but water and diet coke. And I was pretty active. I need to sync my fitbit, waiting until I'm done wandering around the house and property for the night before I do that. I can get a good 1000 steps just taking the dog pee tonight if I put some effort into it ;)
 
So, I take it, it's over then? .....can't quite find the right smiley to cover that one! J obviously has LOTS to learn!
Your life is so different to mine, but I love hearing about yours.
Who are the Seahawks? Which sport?
I live in another universe I think.

I've come to the conclusion that being single is awesome. So much less to worry about, can do what I want when I want. Though I have had that train of thought for most of my life haha.
 
Cate: Its not over, you just can't have relevant discussions of the heart at 1am when one of the parties is piss drunk. We did go out to dinner Friday night and he stayed the night last night. Seahawks are an NFL football team for Seattle. I was born and raised there till I was 7 and since Alaska does not have an NFL team I've stayed a Seahawks fan my whole life.

Mystic: I spent a lot of time single in my life, its just been in the last 2-3 years that I've really preferred life through the lens of having a partner to share it with. I used to have my son to share most of my days and nights with but now that he's older he's out on his own more and I was spending far too much time sitting at home alone.

I worked all weekend. One handyman left the island to go hunting and the other is still "sick." Although, I had serious concerns on Friday when I checked the internet history on the office computer to find a website I had searched for to find parts for our boilers and found that he had searched for information on the most lethal form of suicide so I alerted my boss' and have been checking in on him a few times a day. Concerning stuff right there. Added a pile of stress to my already overloaded brain since I'm the only one working and trying to hold the properties together while he pulls himself together. Hopefully by tomorrow if he is not well I can force him to go to the clinic for a work release from a doctor and call a head of him and ask for a behavioral health intervention.

Food has been so-so. J and I went out to eat on Friday, I got a bunless burger and a side salad. Saturday night I reheated chicken in mole sauce that my friend Jose made from him grandmothers recipe for J and the kiddo and made them burritos with it and I heated up a pre-made fajita bowl for myself. I worked this morning, after dropping J off at work. I checked on the handyman, he is still not well. Did my boiler check rounds and a few quick repairs for tenants who have been waiting a few days to get the repairs done because I've been so busy. Now I am at home and I am procrastinating cooking and cleaning for the week ahead. Thank you internet for being so good at helping me in that area ;) I am also dying some shirts and a jacket today because the colors are a bit off for todays trends. I have a soft pastel yellow jacket that is getting a gray treatment to give it a khaki green look and a shirt that is also in the same gray vat that was white and will now be a nice undershirt for my Seahawks jersey (which is short sleeved but I don't wear short sleeves so I'll wear the long sleeved gray under it). I also have a vat of garnet to die a pashmina and a shirt. The pashmina is pink and the shirt is red but too bright for my taste. This is how I get around buying new clothes for myself. I have so many clothes, if I don't find a way to use them I "fix" them so I can use them. I really only buy new undies and pants for myself because I tend to wear pants out in the thigh "chub rub" region. :blush5:

On Sundays I always think ahead to the next week. I'm planning food right now for batch cooking but since my container order is still not here yet (its at the post office, I just have not had time to pick the package up), I'm thinking of just winging it for a few days. I have tons of frozen leftovers and veggies in the fridge to use up. A few nights of going with the flow won't kill me. Well...it will in the area of doing dishes, lol! I'd buy a dishwasher but...I'd still never do them. Yep, I'm that person, with a sink full of dishes. Do I care, probably not. I'm too busy living life to worry about them.

Anyways, I'll get around to diaries tonight when I sip some wine. I cannot believe august is almost over already.
 
I'm glad it's not over sweets xo

I'll re-read your post again later & respond as I had better get my chubby arse off this chair & get moving. It's a shame to waste the sunshine :D xoC
