11 February - What I'm Thankful for Today

It's Saturday, my day to sit back, relax, and catch up on the overwhelming notifications.
I'm thankful I have the notifications finished. I started out with 200 this morning. It's going on 4 PM and I'm done. It was great spending time with you. I enjoyed a nice cup of chocolate hazelnut tea and two bowls of delicious soup I made today. 
I'm thankful I got out of the apartment for a little bit and went shopping. I really didn't have much to buy. I think it was more for the steps than the food. And to make certain my U Card worked from the insurance company. The last time I went shopping, it didn't. Today, there were still problems, but they knew how to fix them. I don't know what I'll spend the rest of the money for on my card, but I'll figure it out. They say not to shop when you're hungry. I think it's worse when you're not. I didn't even have half a bag of groceries.
I'm thankful that as of right now, I have only 1700 steps to my goal and I'll get that when I log off the computer. Usually, on Sunday I raise the goal. Not this week. I'm keeping it at 8000.
I'm thankful a book I ordered arrived when they said it would. It's for the Bible study class I'm going to on Tuesday morning. I have some reading to do to catch up.
Today was a good day to sit here and chat with you. My back didn't complain too much. Probably because I got up often to get steps, check on the soup, and finally get a couple of bowls of it. It's only just now starting to complain, so it's good I'm ready to get off the computer for the day.
That's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image is me. I took a few selfies today. I thought I would share.

It's good to stay in on a cooler day.
I'm surprised my back is doing as well as it is after I saw the X-rays this morning from the MRI. The fracture is clear to see. My spine has severe arthritis and looks like it's about to crumble. She had a suggestion, but I stopped her in mid-sentence when she was going to suggest injections. Not ever going to happen. I told her I take Ibuprofen. She told me it was a good choice.

It's the supplemental card that gives me OTC benefits and groceries. No paperwork is involved.
I'm glad you got out of the house. I hope you get approved for the card you signed up for.
It's a good time to go to bed when it's raining.

Chocolate hazelnut tea sounds tasty! Cold or hot?
I ordered nail caps for our kitten and cranberry plus d-mannose pills for myself tonight on Amazon. I am thankful my husband let me buy them. I always feel awkward telling him I beee something and asking if it’s okay. Tomorrow or soon I need to buy a new car seat for the baby. She is getting too tall for the one she’s been in since birth.

I'm happy to hear your back cooperated most of the day. I usually make it until about 9-9:30pm each day before my backs starts shouting at me. Once I start feeling the back pain kick in, I will start doing the stretches my doctor prescribed to me. Usually those help manage the pain.
I'm like you, I will have around 150-200 notifications at any given time. Except on weekends, I hardly have any time to get to them all or even try to catch up. So I just do what I can throughout the day while I'm at work.
Enjoy your weekend. It's been storming here since Friday, so I haven't really been doing much this weekend.

@just4him Unfortunately, I never get caught up with my notifications. I just don’t have the time in the day to be here as long as I’d like. But I do try to keep up.

Thank you. After looking at the results of the MRI, I'm surprised it's doing as well as it is. I can understand why the therapist said no twisting or bending.
You can only do what you with the notifications. Catching up is a bonus.
My weekend was very good. I hope yours was too.

It's a nice selfie. Sounds like a good day there, which is always nice. 8,000 is still a great step amount I think. Chocolate hazelnut tea? Sounds interesting

Thank you. This was my first real attempt at a selfie. I've done it one time before, but only one picture, and I forget what it was for, maybe just to try out the function. I took several of them so I would have a few to choose from.
It's delicious!

@MommyOfEli2013 I've had that one too.
I'm not big on selfies and my old phone didn't take them.

@just4him Oh really? Well that is good to know. I usually take a couple so I have choices too.
That's good to hear. I enjoy a salted caramel tea. Actually am now.

It's the OTC card from United HealthCare. It covers healthy food, and OTC items at Walgreens, and this year even covers the utility bill. They give you $200 in OTC benefits. It's good to have. It cuts down on my out-of-pocket spending. I use it before I use my FoodShare benefits. It really helps especially with the cost of food now.

I know they say don't shop for food if you are hungry but don't they just say that so you don't over shop? Sometimes I don't buy enough trying to save save save..

Most likely that is the reason they say that.
Not buying enough isn't good either. You forget things you need.
