Reflections of My Life

Not exactly keto if you use bananas. Fruit is not keto usually due to your body processing it as sugar. The yogurt would depend on the ingredients and the carbs. There are some new ones out that are low carbs. It has to do with the way the milk is processed. The carbs are in the whey.

I don't make smoothies. I use Keto Chow, which is a healthy replacement meal. It gives you one third of the vitamins and minerals you need for the day. Not meant to replace all three meals of your day. Just one. Or when you are in a hurry and can't fix a meal. I could drink it as a shake or use it in a recipe (they have lots of recipes on their site). But I like it as ice cream for my midday meal. Taste good and good for me.
They say that pumpkin is a lower carb replacement for banana in a smoothie.
 

Yesterday, my friend had a doctor's appointment and when she got there the receptionist told her that her appointment was for Tuesday and she missed it. Well, she knew it was for Wednesday and she fished around in her purse and found the appointment card. Yes, it was for Wednesday! Then the receptionist said she would reschedule the appointment??? Turns out the doctor's husband was in the office and overheard that. He came out and said no, she will see the doctor at her appointment time.

Like the patient's time doesn't matter. Good thing the husband was there!

It’s sad that the receptionist felt the need to lie and it doesn’t speak too highly of the doctor.

Most appointments these days are fairly superficial and don’t last more than 15-20 minutes.

I would be tempted to look for a new doctor but in today’s world I’m not sure that it would solve the problem.

I don't think it was the doctor who did it. She didn't know. The appointments at this doctor's office take as long as you want to talk to her. I go to the same one. Can have all our blood work done right there in her office too. The receptionist though should not have automatically suggested to reschedule.

The doctor I went to before this one were those type of doctors who don't even know you. Have to tell them your whole history every time. I quit going to those because I didn't like that and I wanted one in the same city I live in. Even so, I still rarely make an appointment.
 
It’s funny how my mind works at times. Before I got up this morning I remembered this film.
1943-44. Mom took me to see Phantom of the Opera. I would have been 6 or 7 years old and I guess I should have stayed home. This film scared the bejesus out of me and messed up my nights for a time.
The part when his face is revealed did me in. Actually, it was pretty mild compared to today’s films. Here is the scene that I’ll never forget.
Scarred for life..Pappy. 😵‍💫

 
It was in the 30's when I got up this morning. I was a bit cold and if it was just me, I could add layers. But Rabbit's ears were cold so I turned on the heat for the first time. It doesn't really matter if I turn it on or not since my electric bill has plenty of credit on it (Heap) but I am still not wasteful with it. Rainy and damp so needed the heat this morning. Just a good excuse for an extra cup of coffee this morning.

If I saw that at that age it would have given me nightmares too. The Twilight Zone was bad enough!

I put a light blanket on my bed. Not quite cool enough for heat in NC.
 
Guess what you guys????

Yeah, the elevator is not working today. I guess that is my sign not to have to do my laundry today. I had it all ready. Glad I didn't start it and have it downstairs and find out the elevator was not working. Super glad I was not in it when it quit. Maybe it wanted the day off since it has been working good since May.
 
I got rid of a bag of clothing from my closet yesterday. I didn't look at it while I put it in the bag. It was beautiful stuff but I hadn't worn any of it since I moved here. I have got to get tough with myself and empty closets, dresser drawers, cupboards and the storage locker. The one thing I draw the line at is my curio cabinet. My cat collection! I don't know, maybe have to buy a coffin big enough for all of them, my 2 baby dresses and my dolls too! I am too sentimental.
 
I hear people using the elevator anyway. I think it is up to you if you want to chance getting stuck in it. I heard David tell the lady down the hall if she gets in it be sure to have her phone so she can call 911 if she gets stuck in it. Nope, not for me. Once was enough.
