Willy Nilly and stress

Willy Nilly is a word that doesn't get used a lot. But for me it fits a lot of the time.   My eating pattern the last few days for example.   And my ability to take pictures of my food apparently! 

So just a bit with life.  Why I haven't posted in a few days....we were recommended to try to get Eli insurance through the state/Medicaid/kidcare/whatever since we're losing insurance and will have to pay out of pocket and someone knowledgeable on it said she's be "shocked" if he didn't qualify due to disabilities.  This was always on the radar for "someday" because if he ends up needing services we know it takes time and effort and red tape, but now it's hurry hurry hurry.  Apparently the best way to start this is by applying for social security disability because if he qualifies there's no other problems.

That paperwork took over 4 hours of my life on Sunday.  And I'm not sure it's complete.  Then after a 35 minute hold time, which wasn't too bad really, I have an appointment at the end of the month for the interview.  Then it's a waiting game. 

I also spent a lot of time the last 2 days searching health insurances both through the state of Florida for kids and also through the marketplace.  That was just tedious numbers work. 

I also had to search for ways to spend my CME money without going too far over- because I want to spend those benefits fully but in a productive way.  So I was researching conferences and DEA renewal instructions and stuff.  I tried to call the DEA to ask questions but the 2 hour hold time was NOT acceptable.  So I sent an email and we'll wait and see. 

I also still have to get my receipts in order for taxes.

We wrapped the Christmas gifts we have so far.

We started packing for our holiday trip to Indiana since our luggage leaves a week before we do.

Our new washing machine gets delivered today.

Oh, and all the normal things of life too. 

These are my excuses for being willy nilly on exercise, eating good, and taking pictures of food.  I think I'll give myself a pass and keep working on the best version of me. 

So since I don't remember which day was what stuff, or what day I last blogged here's a recap....
I ran a 5k saturday with my parents and that was a not healthy day.   At the race alone I had muffins, bagel, donuts, and more.

As you can see from all my pictures.  I've had salads, smoothies, and low carb spaghetti.  I've also had pulled pork, crackers, cream cheese dip (too good!) pancakes and much more not pictured.  

I've taken all my products, so that's good.  And I think I'm ready for a short fast because especially last night at a Christmas gathering I ate way too much! But we had good fellowship which was needed for the soul.

Blessings in Health and Happiness!
