Thanks @baylorbev for starting the thread!

Yesterday was a mixed bag for me. I didn’t get my walking in (doing it today) and generally loafed but I’m pretty sure that’s what I needed to do.

Medical stuff is a full time job!

There were only two surgeons on my plan that specialize in breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The first one had a full patient load so I didn’t get an appointment with him even. The second has declined. So at this point it’d all be out of network doctors, so I figure I should probably just work with the…[Read more]

Wow, just wow! I had a feeling that it might be something along those lines. The first thought I had was a go fund me account! I know you may be reluctant to do that, but I can’t think of a better purpose for one!

And, yes, that was in fact the “short” version.

Ugh. Bras.

Someone finally hipped me to a bra company that makes bras for women who have had mastectomy/reconstruction. Because that’s a whole other layer of bra struggle right there. Interestingly, you don’t need a bra post-reconstruction for the same purposes as women with breasts need a bra (women with breasts need lift. I do not need lift)…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep!

So far, so good. I have been keeping up with the 5k plan, even though I was feeling a little sick this week. My immune system went into stealth mode though so I’m feeling a lot better today. Still, I am going to cancel the live show tonight as I want to get one more night of rest before trying to resume full throttle…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep!

You’ve been reporting back so faithfully I feel like I personally have a good idea of what’s going on with you, but would you mind recapping for our fellow FNC citizens. You’ve been doing great. 🙂

Mid-week sweep!

But what I really wanna know is this. How did “breakfast cookie, take two” go? Was it better this time around?

Mid-week sweep!

I feel like I have a good sense of what’s going on with you from your daily check-ins but for the benefit of our fellow FNC citizens, could you give us a recap?

I think together we can come up with a good plan for you to adjust to this new schedule of yours. Many heads are better than one!

Mid-week sweep!

I know how book club planning is going (and THANK YOU again for taking that on!), but what else is going on? Have the other things on your plan happened yet?

Mid-week sweep! I feel like I know how your first goal (about bedtime) is going. I know getting out of the house has been challenging. How are you feeling about that?

I hope everything is going well. Looking forward to reading all about it!

This is a “sorta” mid-week sweep because some of your items aren’t due yet. I see you’ve been posting, which is great!

How are you feeling as your work life ramps up?

Mid-week sweep! How is everything going? Have you been avoiding grazing? How’s the walking going? And the planks? I hope you’re doing ok!

So for me:

• Finances: I don’t wanna talk about it. But I have an accounting software program called Xero for BF that I need to incorporate + I heard that Mint is a good app.
• Schedule: my old school planner book has been working fabulously.
• Ideas: Evernote! Seriously I need to do an Evernote training one of these days. It’s changed my life.

Kudos on the “early” bed time! I’m just so glad you’re back to posting. I really missed you.

I think you’ve made an important observation.

Since this is a change that’s not going away anytime soon, look at your routine and see what you can do to still be as organized as you want to be without being so stressed every day. I’d encourage you to think about “batching” things if you can. Batching is the process of taking one chunk of time to…[Read more]
