Looking good. Mandy Hello, Katie. Hey, my friend. Aren't you glad to be blessed? Are we glad we don't do a video podcast? So glad. Lord God, y'all should have seen me. I hadn't looked at myself even though I just completed an nasal rinse. The only thing I look at myself in the mirror forest to make sure there's not some disgusting green snot hanging out of my nose. I don't look at anything else. So, a log on, or Katie just got a sight. I had a sight. The bangs were really bangin. I don't know y'all. The bangs were bangin. I'm two weeks post-op and I have a sinus infection. How y'all doing? Right. Let me tell you, Mandy. I'm going to say this and you're not going to believe me, but I think you are gorgeous, no matter what, because the sweetest, kind of spicedest, by the way, girl, I know, and I love that. But the bangs they were bangin. I can tell you don't feel good even on video, but it doesn't mean you're not beautiful. Oh, thank you. Thank you. You're full of shit. I'm not. I'm really. What's been going on, Katie? I don't say things that don't mean. No. My mom was tall with me. Bye, Jamie. Bye, Jamie. We're busy right now, Jamie. We'll talk to you later. Yesterday morning, early, probably the middle of the night, it came in, but I got honey's DNA results. Okay, listen, before we announce, I didn't get the weigh-in because I think this was like it wasn't the middle of the thing. Yeah. Did not get to put in, I don't know, but I do, I do want to put in at least because she's black on her tongue, but there's some chow in there. Yes, that's correct. I will go ahead and say that we are not wrong about that. She is 8% chow. It's the rest of it that is a wonder and a mystery. So what do you think the rest of it is? I mean, she's in Georgia, so I would think there's some Labrador and some sort of Stafford-Shire Terrier, which is pitiful, just because I don't know that there's a dog in Georgia that doesn't have those two things, but that's smiling. That's why. Well, you're not wrong about that. So she is 11% American Pitbull Terrier and 9% Labrador Retriever. I'm 8% chow. So here's where I just, I looked at the results and went, the hail? She is 26%, like a grandparent was a full drumroll please, pug. Pug. Pug. I could see that. She doesn't have the match base at all. No, but she's got the little body. She does have the body of a pug. She's got the coloring of like a red lab, ish, because she's mostly red. She's looking at me right now, like Mama quit talking about me, quit calling me a pug. So the other thing, and this is where her face comes in, and I didn't see this at all, but it's very true. And I'll put some pictures of some of these breeds. She's 12% weiner dog. And she's 10% men pen. And if you look and look at the pictures of the men pens, not with their ears up, but with them flop diverse, she has that same face. So the and the shape of her face and the ears that flop around when she walks. So she has the face of a men pen. And then the body of the pug, but she's taller. So I think that's where the pit bull in the lab come in. And then she's just a little bit of everything else. She's 7% Chihuahua, 2% Palmaranian, 3% rockwala, 2% boxer, 2% golden retriever, 5% collie, and then 3% German Shepherd dog. She used a Hans 57. But the pug, I was like, because the most distinctive feature of a pug, obviously, is her nose and not having one. And she clearly has a nose, the snout. So I was like, what? Yes. She does. The Sedua. So I guess we're both bugs. I used to have a friend. There's a story. Her sister's boyfriend had a pug and I house sat and dog sat for them one time in Orlando. Y'all. What was that dog's name? I can't even remember. He would be in the next room asleep with the door closed and my door closed and I could still hear him snoring. God love that sweet boy. Come on, since 9%. Yeah, she's with that bad story. Definitely snores. Definitely. But she's very sweet. That's all I care about. But it's just so interesting. I mean, I'm a Hans 57 too. So I mean, there's not like a even as British as I am. You know, I'm from the British Isles mainly. There's still some weird stuff in there. So I mean, you know, same. Have you done that 23 and me? My parents have. So I know what my parents are. So I know what's got to be in there somewhere. And it has mixed feelings about it because I have a good friend who did it. Who found her biological father and now has a great relationship with him. But I ain't doing it and I'm mad at anybody. I'm related to who has done it. And if you did do it, you should call them and ask to have your information removed from their database. I have to say about that. You know, my people, of course, have added me to all the things. Yeah. Listen, it's not going to be your fault if you get called after you commit a murder because they use the 23 and me to best you like listen, we should be worried. I have to say hope and that there would be some like rando and our family tree just for funsies. But there's not. I'm very Welsh. I wish. Don't be shocked. But anyway, so that's honey. Honey's a pug. What the heck? It's exciting. And then other than that, Holy Week is upon us. We have Palm Sunday this Sunday and then Holy Week and then Easter, which I am so very thankful this year because I'm starting a new church that we are not doing all the things. You know, we collectively decided that it was not a good idea to have a quick turnaround to do all the things. So I am preaching at Mulberry on Monday as part of their Holy Week service, which means all I had to do was write a 10 minute homily. But I don't have to plan it. I don't have to execute it. Nothing. I'll just show up. So I will make sure I link that their Facebook page will have all of the Holy Week services. If you, I think they're great. They're 30 minutes every day during Holy Week and they're a really good way to kind of center yourself in the middle of the day. They start at 12. So you can do it on your lunch hour if you're so inclined. But they're they're really nice, beautiful services and everybody that is preaching is a good friend and we'll do a really, really good job. So I'm very thankful to be a part of that group. We'll never turn down a chance to get a preach at my home church. So that's what I'm doing. But Holy Week is upon us. So we will wave the palms on Sunday. And then after I wave the palms on Friday. That was shocked when I got an email from about choir and it was like, we only have two more rehearsals until Easter. I was like, my God. It's right around the corner. And Easter's late this year. But you have been laid up in the bed. I can see where you've lost a week or two. I mean, I don't know where I am or what I'm doing. So after I go wave the palms. And we can talk about this. I see you want to talk about the masters. So we'll wait because I have a thing that I'm doing Sunday after we wave our palms. I'm very excited about. I've actually got it on right now. It's my favorite week. And you know, my little buddy from Macon is how to interesting start. So we'll keep pulling for wrestle. But I also saw Bob a double bogey. I'm in it again on 11. So I think a lot of people are having a rough start. Okay. But our man Freddie couples is at one under for the day. So that's good. Holy party. Would he party one? Yeah. Thanks. So one of the early ones. Yeah. Yeah. We don't struggle. So I love when one of the old guys makes the cut. So hopefully he'll be Freddie this year. And then to wrap up our coverage of basketball. I don't know what else to call it. My obsession with Auburn basketball. We lost of course in the final four. All the games were really good though. So I was really, you know, it was fun. I had my guessing brackets with my friends. They weren't really bracket brackets. We do a point system. And I came in second of the of all the people. So that was fun. We gave each other a lot of hills. So that was also fun. That's the only reason I really do it is to like talk smack. So it was fun. But Florida one. That was a really good game. You know, again, I'm not a huge basketball TV fan. But that game was all the final four games. I thought we're really, really good. So I was pleased with without watching. So until, you know, after Masters week, I don't have anything to watch really. Well, that's not true. Baseball. So we got baseball. We've got college ball. We've got softball. We got little league world series. And that'll get us through to foot. So there we go. I don't even know what to talk about. Get us through to football. We are in the days. See, I know I love all sports. I really, really do. But football is my favorite and baseball is yours. So we have football to get you through to baseball in the opposite for me. Although, let me tell you, I don't even know where I like baseball. I'm wondered what you were thinking these days, ma'am. I know what I'm thinking. Bucky chitting me is what I'm thinking. I was glad that I don't live in die by brave baseball. That's what I've been thinking. Or the Dodgers for that matter, right? They've had some issues. I was glad I was on drugs. A lot of drugs. Right. They've been sucking up. Blessing. I've been like, oh, what do you think about all that? What about the breaks? I mean, get it together. What's the first thing? Okay, in fairness. Yeah, they started on seven. They're now two and ten. Listen, they started against San Diego and then the Dodgers. Both of whom, I think the Dodgers started eight now and San Diego started seven and eight. So chicken or egg, like did they win all their first games because the breaks are so bad? Or did the Braves lose all their first games because they're so good? I think it was a little bit of a big. The Braves, they did this last year. They get in their heads so bad and they push so hard and they just need to relax and listen. I don't, nobody's asking me. I listened to Chipper on a podcast yesterday and he was sort of saying this. He said, that's the hardest thing with this group of hitters is they get in their heads and they want to try so hard and that's just like a dead work. That's not how hitting works. That's co-generally. That's the players. Maybe both. They got a new hitting coach this year. I don't know. I think it's part of its vibes. I think since they lost Ryan Washington and Eric Young, their coaches that went to the Angels. I think Ryan Washington had a huge role in that clubhouse of keeping them loose and keeping them accountable. I think Ronald Acunia Jr. is a huge catalyst for him and so he's still not back. But God bless. He should still be able to win a game. They lost. They started on the road for seven games. They lost every single one of them. They came home. They won their first game at against the Marlins. Thank you, sweet baby Jesus. Then they lost the next game to the Marlins. Then who comes in, but the Phillies deliver me Lord. They won the first game against the Phillies. Chris sailed in that pitch, right? We still won the first game against the Phillies. We hung with him last night. Listen, I'm going to need our entire listening population to let's all say a prayer over Austin Riley. Let's lay hands on him virtually. That boy needs to cheer him water. I mean, he twice last night, he struck out with the bases loaded. Then he comes up for the third time and hits a solo home run. Pressures off. He hits a home run. Bases loaded. He strikes out. So everybody take a deep breath. Let's just chill out. So I don't think our season is sunk. All the pundits like when they had lost four games, the pundits started saying, well, nobody's ever made it to the playoffs that started. Oh, and five. That's all that. Well, the playoffs are a lot different now than they used to be because of the wild card. Now, do we also play in the fifth division in Major League Baseball? Arguably, yes, we do. So, and then is the naturally West also completely stacked. And so, you know, you get a winner each division winner gets in and then you have under two wild card teams. I can't remember now. Maybe three wild card teams anyway, but it's like it's hard. It's not going to be easy. But yeah, anyway, I said, yeah, baseball are you kidding me? And the same week that the brave started and lost all their games, but in the real got swept by Arkansas. So I was kind of like, why am I even watching baseball? Thank goodness for the Cubs. The Cubs are fun. Dance becomes a bench. Listen, days we had surgery in the off season, he is looking good. My other favorite Ian Hap played his 1,000th game. All of them as a cub. We love to see that. He is great. The Cubs traded for Kyle Tucker from the Astros and Kyle Tucker is going to be the monster free agent next season. So they probably only having first season because they're probably not going to pay Kyle Tucker what Kyle Tucker is worth. But by Gali, they are going to enjoy him while they have him this year and he has been playing lights out. Listen, so the Cubs have given me life. And the Braves are looking better. I will say like they beat the Phillies, they hung with the Phillies last night. So I mean, they're showing signs of life. So I'm holding out hope. But good God, it has been painful painful. Yeah, tell you I bet. So I too am looking forward to my Astros week. Yeah, parfury. All the pictures of the kids from the parfury yesterday. Was that not the cutest? My new favorite golfer, maybe Homa. I was going to say that. His son, Max, maybe the cutest thing I've ever seen. So Max is precious talking like in Tyler gibberish ish to all of the other people. They're going to have another baby. So I follow her on all the socials. She is precious. She's down to earth. She's not like overly bowed talks and billard and doesn't have fake boots. She's great. I really like her. So go follow her if you can find her. I can't remember her name right now. But so they were fun to watch. Max Homa is one of my favorites. If you also, I know you don't have Netflix right now. But if you watch full swing, they usually follow him. And so he's featured on there. So you feel like I know a little bit about him. But he's definitely one of my favorites. Yeah. Yeah. They were so cute. And Jordan's faith, uh, might walk in with his little girl and she was like, this little girl, she like was headed towards the wall. He like hardly noticed. And then they're like, Jordan, he's like, oh god, oh god. Unless you wanted to stop and eat a flower. It was great. It was great. It was great. Yeah. It's always my favorite. I love that. And then I had a thought of, um, what would your masters meal be? So he won the masters and you got to do the changes. The, the years winner. Okay. It's the choose dinner for the next year. Um, and they get, you know, like I still saw something where the, the, the, the, you know, Baba Watson is a co-owner of the Pensacola minor league baseball team. And so they were running a special in concessions, uh, that was mimicking what Baba's championship dinner was. Somebody was like, what is this? It was grilled chicken and macaroni and cheese and a Caesar salad. Like it was lame. You can have anything you want. Right? So I remember Tiger used to have a, Tiger used to have a restaurant in Atlanta, a Thai restaurant that was very near Austin and Bird. Hey, we're in the name of it right now because listen to my brain smells. Right. But he would have them come cater his, uh, championship dinners. And it was a delicious typhoon. The one who everybody was your, what was your master's championship dinner being? Well, I think just knowing what everybody's favorites have been there and what they have splurged on. I mean, Morakawa with a love sushi and the wagyu beef steak and like, um, you know, some kind of high end thing like that oysters. I love oysters and caviar. So something along those lines of some seafood, a really good steak. And then like some of my favorite desserts, um, tiramisu or, um, uh, crème brulee or something. And um, for those sentimental, I would probably make a make my grandmother's cheese muffins. Obviously. Right. But I mean, if they're gonna pay for it, right? I don't think the golfer pays for it. I think Augusta National doesn't and says why not blow the roof off and just do all the fancy stuff. Real chicken macaroni and cheese. I mean, I'm sure it was a really good mac and cheese. But I'm also sure that I could find something else that I don't normally have that I would love for them to pay for me to eat. Bella, what about eating your friend? No, probably wants to say like, Nany's fried chicken. Fried chicken would be good. Oh, which is better than grilled chicken. Better than grilled. I don't know. I asked the question. I have no answer to it. Yeah. Well, I will say, so this year, um, you know, I'm in a new place and I've made some new friends and one of my friends is a big, big sports guy. And it's the husband of one of the queens and he is right now battling cancer. And so he's on oxygen. So he can't really go anywhere. So we're going to him and they've all been so sweet and whatever. So I got us them. I did it. I spent too much money, but I don't care about the master's packet of food. I did. So right now my refrigerator, I have the Pimentichese exellen barbecue. And then it comes with chips. And so we're going to do it up Sunday, not just for us, but for them as well. And we're we'll have some adult beverages. Um, and smokers are on the floor. Yeah, it's got cups, cookies, popcorn chips. So they're providing the drinks and the bread, because it doesn't come with like the buns to put the stuff on. But I'm so excited to go sit with Steve and Stan and the wives are going to sit on the front porch and talk while we watch the actual masters. And, um, and and do with them. So I can't wait to tell you all how I like the food. You can get a smaller pack with just, I think it's piment, I don't think the barbecue comes in the smaller pack. I think it's just the Pimentichese exellen. Um, and so I don't know if I would do this every year for, um, I mean, I may. Yeah. We love, you know, Steve here and say we're going to do whatever we need to do to make him happy. But, um, if it was just me, I might do the smaller pack. And I was too late and I hesitated and I shouldn't have. But I think we, I could make it my own if I wanted to. The Azalea packets sold out very quickly. So it's a mixer, the mixer of the Azalea and the two shot glasses. But I think it's just lemon juice and like a fruit juice. Maybe strawberry. I don't know. I always just drink beer. There's a, the, I'm only, it was so cold. I just drink hot chocolate. There we go. Um, they said you can buy everything on the menu for $77. I saw that the other day. So beer's still real cheap. Um, but the Azalea looks good. It looks like a summer thing that I would make. So I made this summer make one just my own and not spend the exorbitant amount of money that it costs to get their mix. But, um, anyway, so that'll be fun. Well, I picked up some Pimentichese. Oh, there when I went to give you a six antibiotic at the public's. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, we got that. That'll be good though. Did you get a jalapenos so you could taste it and it might clear your sinuses out? No, because I'm not supposed to, well, hell, I don't listen, y'all. This surgery's been a journey. And I don't have any answers for anything about anything because my doctor, a, a pissant, uh, Benny, her sister, uh, my sister got a line and started looking at his online reviews and somebody had said, I would not take my dog to the starter. I think mine is going to be he's a cot. What did that just say? He's a pissant, bae, any, raster, shithead. That's going to be my own underbeap. And I think that's what I'm going to start calling everybody I don't like now. Okay, we'll put that on a t-shirt. Slow raster tomatoes. We'll do one with slow raster to cheer. Yeah, bae, anyway, anyway. Um, yeah, yeah, so I'm not supposed to, I don't know, listen, I'm two weeks post-op today, so I should be done. I'm not in the throes of a sinus infection. Um, so I don't know, as I think we should call it a post-op infection. A post-op infection. Yeah. Um, so, you know, I don't know what the rules are. I've asked for clarification of what the rules are. I have not gotten clarification in any form. So, why are you asking questions to begin with? I should just eat whatever I want to. I should eat all the spicy food. Who cares? What's it going to do? I mean, some will do anything worse. Let me tell you and talk about clearing sinuses. I'm here to tell you, I was not, I don't know, that can't really have talked about like our previous like nitty pot, sinolrent sort of. We have a little bit in the past. Yes. And I didn't love it. Like, I had tried a nitty pot. Right. And it just always mean my head feel more full. Listen, I'm a convert. Really? Y'all, it's this, this Neil med sinus rents bottle. Okay. And the, the sailing packets that come with it are going to be stored right next to my Zoprian, which are, you know, I never go anywhere without some anti-anagium meds. This, this sinus rents bottle will now be right next to it. Love that. It's ridiculous. Okay. It's ridiculous. All right. Mostly because I couldn't blow my nose. I think I'm breathable. I'm on nose at this point. But I couldn't blow my nose initially. So the only way to get anything out of your nose is the rinse it. So, but then like last night, about the time I fell asleep, I like, I went back up and I was like, you could just feel something like coming in your nose. And I was like, I got to get up at 12, 30 at night and get that out of my nose. And I did just rinse it right out. How you doing? Nice to know you. I love it. Big proponent of the Neil med. I mean, in addition to the, that's the one good thing that's come out of the surgery. The right thing. I mean, you go, wait a minute, I'm still reliant on KTVK. One. That's just one. I will say in addition to the antibiotic that I picked up at Publix, which is levic one for those of you in the know. Also had to get compounding pharmacy to pick up a medicated somaticin to put in my nasal rinse, which has three other antibiotics and a steroid in it. How are you doing? I don't even. I don't expect everyone. I mean, here's what I think. You know, Mandy is there for literally everyone in her life. And I feel like the posse of people that are her friends, which includes all of us that listen, because we love you, should like ride it down and all show up together at this next appointment. And just take him out back and tell him a thing or two. I mean, I'm not going to throw it in the bodily harm for somebody on anything recorded, but I think we could have a serious talking to with him. My favorite was my friend Heather, who listened to some. She commented on Instagram page yesterday and said, I hope your Ian tickets a sign of this infection. I hope, I think that's too nice. I think he deserves explosive diarrhea and a roomful of ligas just step on. That's what I hope. As I told my friends when I texted that when my next post-op appointment was, I was like, and my sister has already said she will be there and I'd send a Darth Vader gift. He don't know. Oh, I pity the fool. He really don't know. He teased the fool. Yeah. So anyway, here we are. Here we are. It's been great. Yeah. Well, hopefully you're on the mend. I'm really glad that we skipped last week because you were I think in pretty rough shape. And I'm glad that you feel well enough to be here with us today because I have missed you. Well, thanks. It's also good, you know, how it is when you're sick and you're, well, most people, a lot of our friends would probably relish the opportunity to be sick by themselves. Yeah. Like all our friends with kids and husbands and all of that, like they wish they could just be in a room by themselves. But then it gets to point when you're by yourself or you're just like by yourself with your sickness all the time. And so it's good to, you know, get out and start trying to reintegrate where you can too. So. Yes. I will say work for the most part has been fine. Everybody's been pretty understanding. It's interesting though. You sort of get a week. Yeah. You get a week of completely clear total no contact method. And then after about a week, people are like, I hope you're feeling better. Just checking to see like, no, I said two weeks. You're all good. Yeah. So yeah, for the most part, it's been good. We're good. So Katie, talk to us about some food. So I almost made this. It's so funny. I have like I have all the ingredients. It is just have not made. I haven't felt like it. Delicious. When you feel up to it, you're going to love it. I made the viral taco bowl. And I'm going to everybody get your look already. I will say the word protein about 25 times. So it is really, really good. I will make it a lot because it is just delicious. So here's what I did. Here's my version of it. And you can adapt it however you want. So I got a panellogram beef, a half an onion that I chopped up and then I don't know if y'all are in the kinders world for seasonings, but I have a love. I have loved. I have several of their seasonings now. They don't do just like straight like cumin, garlic, whatever they do, a blend of seasonings. I have several of theirs. And their taco seasoning did not disappoint. So I use that and I put that on the ground beef and the onion and sauteed all that up. Now I will say if I adapt this slightly, I might save a little bit of that taco seasoning and I'll tell you where I use it in a minute. So I browned the ground beef, did all the things and then while that while I was doing that, I peeled and chopped which is not very easy by the way to sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes uncooked are just ridiculous and they didn't have any pre-chopped at publics or I would have gotten it. So I diced those up and I used cumin, cinnamon and chili powder and olive oil and I roasted those while I was grounding, browning my ground beef. And then I got, because I'm not, I mean, maybe all are better at this than I am, but I'm not good at picking out an avocado. I know when they're ripe and when they're not, but if they're not ripe, then I don't know how much longer they need. So if I'm going to eat something for a week, which by myself, I'm going to eat something for a week, I don't know how to get one avocado that is ready to go and then, you know, more that are not as ripe. So I cheat and I spend the money and get those little tubs of just plain avocado in the deli section. So I use that and then I did the cottage cheese just a scoop of that, but if you don't like cottage cheese, first of all, you can blend it up if you've got one of those little blenders. But I thought about today, the next time I do this, I may do Greek yogurt because it has plenty of protein. And then maybe add a little bit of that taco seasoning as kind of a dollop on top. Yeah. I did the whole thing with hot honey on top. It is so good. Definitely make it if you're eating protein. Do it is so good. I don't know what makes it so good. I don't know which part or if it's the combination, but it is delicious. So there we go. We're good. It's good to have a room like for me. The people on TikTok, everything's delicious. Everything's delicious. This was really good. I think maybe it's a lot of honey on top that makes all well different. But it's really good. And the kinders taco seasoning. I'm telling you, if you're not a kinders fan yet, you need to try some of their different flavors. They're really, really good. So there we go. It's a great ease. It's very easy for us that are just cooking for one. It's easy to portion out. So it's really something I will make again and definitely enjoy. Yeah. Okay. Well, great. Mandy, tell us about your favorite. She's got a really good list. Well, first off, I didn't put my Neal med Sinus rinse bottle on there. I started to say because I mean, that's really been my favorite thing for the past two weeks. And I would also like to know that I have not posted a video of any of my nasal rinses and you all are welcome. Have I reported them and sent them to my sister since she left because listen, my sister was here that first week and y'all, she did not miss a single Sinus rinse. She prepared my bottle for me each and every time. She stood beside me and cheered me on and encouraged me when a nice large glob of something came falling out of my nose. She cheered. Listen, she should all have someone's first of all to face you. I love her. It's your name. But I did not put that on my favorites list. I did put my Vick steamer because I feel like that's not quite a bridge so far for people. But if you have sinus issues or just congestion issues in your home, I would highly recommend it's several different companies make them. I personally have the Vicks steamer. It comes with a little like, I don't even know, it's not a packet. It's like a, it's like, you know, when you light a candle and there's like a little filament sort of thing that you can get in something and it makes it smell. So it comes with like, vapor rub that that you can put in. I haven't ever used that, which I love that. But I don't I don't know why I didn't need about this back when I was first started getting sick. So I don't know why I didn't use it then. I haven't used it post-op because you're not supposed to put anything in your nose other than the Nile Med sinus nasal rants. I don't know if I've mentioned that yet. So, but the Vicks is just, it's steam, it just, you know, can loosen things up as needed. It's just comforting to your nostrils when they're feeling dry. It also is pretty large. It covers a large portion of your face when you use it. So I also feel like it also maybe doubles as like a facial steamer a little bit. So feeling like a little two-for-one action with the Vicks Stamer highly recommend. And then otherwise, I've just got like some stuff I've been watching. My sister and I binge the pit and white loaded. Let me tell you, the other thing you should do is watch the pit with a medical provider. That was highly entertaining. I bet. It's about half a second before they would say what it is she would be saying what it was. So that was fun. But yes, I love both of those. And then since I have finished those, try to go in on righteous gymstones and I just what, yeah, I don't think you should watch righteous gymstones while you're on drugs. Hmm. Because they definitely are. Right. So you kind of need to be sober to watch righteous gymstones because otherwise it's just really too much. So I couldn't do that but I started watching the Residence on Netflix, which is so cute. It's a Shonda Rhyme show and it stars Usy Adob. That adobah. She was in, she's been in so many things. She's on orange is the knee block. I think is the first like main thing. Yeah, that was her breakout. Yeah. Yeah. But she is this quirky detective. And there's been a death. We don't know if it was a murder or a death or a suicide. So we're not sure. We're not in the White House. In the middle of a state dinner. So it's just really cute. And it's sort of exactly the tone I need at this point. The other thing I have not started watching yet, but that I'm going to watch because I've had so many people recommended to me and I have seen clips of some of the people who are on it is love on the spectrum. Have you watched it at all? No, I've never watched it. So I've watched everything but this season and I follow a lot of the people on all the socials because of the previous seasons. And Abby is my favorite and she, I think would probably be yours to I love love on the spectrum. It is so good. It is not one of those that I want on in the background like I want to like watch and enjoy it. And so I'm not watching yet because I'm trying to finish up this semester. But I cannot wait. It is so good. Well, I love it. The same one who wanted to wish to sign a infection upon my ENT. She said, she said, the new season of love on the spectrum may make you feel better. It's amazing. And now Patrick, her fiance, thanks. I'm on the spectrum. I mean, you're going to see things that you're like, that explains this friend. So the clip I saw that maybe say, oh yeah, I'm going to watch that is the one with Jack Black. Yes. And the kid that was on the Kelly Clarkson show. Oh good, Tanner. Tanner's one of my favorites to Tanner was at the Clemson. He went to Clemson and did that program. If you know have any friends that have children with disabilities of any kind and you know that Clemson has this amazing college level program for them to go and do and Tanner's a product of that. And he is so fun. So cute. So you love to. And that's the next one. So I think because listen, I'm going to be in bed for a little while longer. So I've got some more TV watching I can do. Yeah. So that's going to be next on next up. And then the other thing I've been doing is baked by Melissa on top. And Melissa is, she looks, she appears to be generation at she may be a little younger. Maybe. But she is a Jersey girl. And she just makes me laugh because first of all, I like what she cooks in the way she approaches it and the way she cooks it. But second of all, she makes a lot of your mama jokes. And dick jokes. Yes. As she, you know, cooking all the things, but it's all like I could just for lunch today. I had a piece of black beer toast with some cottage cheese and just chopped up cucumbers and tomatoes with some dill and some olive oil and some salt. And like that's just the kind of stuff Melissa's doing. Yes. And I apologize. If you heard me go into my TikTok, I wanted to make sure that I was, because you know, do everything Mandy says. So I want to make sure that that was the same person that I follow as well. And it was I love her. Her knife skills are. Oh my god. I'm so jealous of her knife skills. Right. And she makes it all just looks so easy. And she's been on the today show. But she's cute as a family. She would completely be our friend. Have you seen her husband on there? Yeah. He's cute too. And he gets in there and she gives him hell on his side funny. Yeah. Yeah. That's just a little. We'll take talk follow. Yeah. I can't say all those things. The residents is so good. I did not figure everything out. And it was great. And it was fun. And Shonda does a fabulous job. And I'm very hopeful that I can't remember her character's name. The main detective. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cordelia. That's right. You're right. I hope that it's a series of things. Cordelia kept. Cordelia kept. I think it's based on books. Am I wrong about that? I can't remember. I don't know. But she's quirky. Like it's the perfect, like especially for quirky people like we are with fun. We're since the humors. It's the perfect thing for us. So I could totally cast on on that. I loved it. So I'll be interested to see if you figure it out. You're smarter than I am. So you know, I'm not on narcotics. And so there we go. Today. There we go. Although when I get when I have to get into my doctor, I have to take an oxy and a volume just to deal with him. So there we go. I'll be back on the movie. Yeah. What are you up to coming up for? I live for my first, my first, my first post-op appointment. And I'm lying there and he's got his tools in my nose. And I'm like, I'm seeing like streaks of color. And he goes, yeah, that's because I'm right behind your eye. Oh. And I'm moaning in pain. And all I could think is what kind of person wants to do this for a living? I would have clawed his eyeballs out is what I would have done. Suzy was recording those things and at one point I was like, I'm really loud and I was like, sorry, she can't be sorry. You didn't hit him. Oh my god. That reminds me of the story. I think I told it on here where you know, I went and got my first IUD taking out and put back in a new one put in. And I was in so much pain because they only tell you to take Tylenol. And I screamed so loud because my cervix has never been dilated. And so it's really hard to shove something up in there. The doctor barbs was like, Katie, you're scaring my patients. And I said, then quit. Right. Stop doing that. Yeah. Suzy said something about it and so I said about labor. And I was like, how have we been? We've never been in labor. We've never been in labor. I have birthed and I feel like I can birth out of my nose. I can tell you that. God, that made my nose as well. I feel like, well, he kind of did. So you just got more recovering to do. Is that what I'm hearing that we will be recovering and getting back to feeling better. I'm saying, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if it's just how I'm going to live or why. You know that man. He's a question. I'm trying to just laugh because it makes it hurt, but it just you just cracking me up. You're ridiculous. I would totally write it down for you. If I need to come down there. My sister, my sister took her by the end of yesterday. So she was really on it and she called me and she said at the point, she doesn't want a bad outcome. Obviously, I'm her sister. She doesn't want a bad outcome. She wants a not so great outcome just so we can sue. I mean, you know, that's this whole time. That's what I've been thinking is like he's very worried, I think, that that's what's going to happen. Well, and especially as soon as he recorded the entire person isn't. So anyway, anyway, quit licking. I'm trying to keep her from getting hot spots. Yeah, no licking. No licking. You can turn a dog not to lick y'all. Yeah, we're getting there. We're getting there. And she's just licking lick and lick and make like they don't let me know. I've done it. You can train a dog not to lick. I can't sing it. We're working on that. We're working on sitting. Okay, good. We're working on the things. Yeah. Has she stayed in the crate since she chewed out the. So she chewed the front door. And so I thought, well, I can't just leave around the house anymore. So she don't lick it me like that. We have full conversations now. So I left her in the laundry room, but not in the crate because she had been okay doing that because there's enough rain in there to walk around. And I put her toys in there. I put one of my shirts in there. I thought, well, maybe my smell would make her feel better. Nope. That door jam's been. She's digs. She doesn't bite. So she's not eating the house. She's scratching the house away. So the next time I leave her, we're going in the crate. Yeah. Well, and look at me, maybe the here's the other thing is every day. Yeah. Put her in there and leave for like five minutes and come back. Oh, okay. I was gonna ask you. I'm glad you brought that up. Yeah, just so that because that's what's hard for me to because you know, I don't leave my house every day. Same. And so if they have separation anxiety, but so yeah, just every day make a point of putting her in there and making it, you know, a little bit longer of a time each time you leave. Okay. If you think she's going to have cradity. Okay. She has all the anxiety. She's definitely got a separation anxiety. Yeah. Okay. Um, has she started a heartworm treatment? Um, that she goes in stop. Licking. Don't lick it me like that. She goes in. Um, she had been licking this whole time and now all of a sudden we're starting. Um, Monday after Easter. Okay. And I'm going up to the end of that week. So I'm just leaving her at the vet the whole week so they can keep an eye on her. That first week. Okay. She was already in one night. Yes. So that's the other thing. My friend who's a retired veterinarian when I told her she was eating the house. She said, oh, well, stop for some drugs. And I was like, yep. Because of the storms too. We haven't had too many bad storms lately. So we had rain, but not terrible storms. Um, but she is definitely scared to death. Yeah. So I'm going to get someone I go, but at this point, it's just not worth driving all the way down there just to get that when I'm on takeer in a little bit. And I'm not really going anywhere in between. So yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, you girls have a lovely way. I will you to fill better and keep in touch and pull for the braves. Against the crazy hairs. Yes. Yes. And Russell Henley. I'm glad it's the crazy hairs. Go rest to go. Everybody have a good week. Have a good week, everybody.
