Almost another week down! I haven’t lost any weight at this stage, but my last weigh-in was on Wednesday. Technically, I still have another day before my official weekly check-in, but I’d rather get back to weighing in on Tuesdays.

Still no word from the cardiologist who was supposed to reach out about my low blood pressure. At this point, I’m not holding my breath. In my experience, medical professionals rarely call when they say they will. Whether it’s miscommunication between facilities or just another hiccup in our wonderful healthcare system, I usually end up having to chase them down myself. I’ll give it until Thursday before I start making calls—between work and tomorrow’s shenanigans (more on that in a second), I just don’t have time before then.

Speaking of tomorrow, I have a landscaper coming to clean up my backyard, and I’m ridiculously excited about it. For the first time, it’ll be prepped for something other than just the dogs and the long-gone chickens. We’ve already cleaned up the dog’s mess, and the old, dilapidated chicken coop is finally getting removed and hauled to the dump. I’m not sure what else they’ll be clearing out, but either way, it’s going to be a huge improvement. I’ll definitely take some before-and-after photos!

Other than that, not much else is happening. Work is work, and I have no big plans for the weekend—so we’ll see how the rest of the week unfolds!
