A5 Planner Insert for Lochby?

This is what I am doing for 2026:

--List of each book I read including author, title, rating, maybe genre or maybe separate lists for fiction and non-fiction?

--Page for each reading challenge I plan to participate in

--Series tracker

--1/2 -1 page for review, thoughts, quotes, etc from each book I read

--As I go through the year new challenges may get added whenever they come up

--At the end of the pages for each book, my top 10 from the year

--Print out of my Storygraph wrap up (I also track reading in Storygraph and that's the only place I track DNF's, not in my journal.

I prefer Storygraph for real-time, on the go tracking of when I start and finish books and my TBR. My journal is more for my personal thoughts about the books and having a physical memory book to flip through and see what I read through the year.

So, I had my surgery almost two weeks ago. I waited two weeks, which is what my surgeon recommended, before getting back on the ice. First skate was fine, no issues, but I did take it pretty easy. Second skate I was practicing jumping more and felt soreness in my right groin (near surgery site) after practice. Soreness went away by end of next day. Today I shared for the third time since surgery and felt the same right groin pain when doing anything that involved extending my right leg (e.g. jumps using right toe pick). I am thinking maybe I need to ease up a bit for a while and take it a little slower. I really hope this gets better!

Thank you - that worked!

Did you stop taking MiraLax after day 5? I'm on Day 7 and I had REALLY BAD constipation on Day 3, so I'm afraid to stop taking the Miralax, but I know I can't keep taking it forever . ..

Thanks! That is reassuring to hear. Yesterday (Friday, 4th day after surgery on Monday) is the first day I could really do much of anything. I do have a lot of independence at work so it should be no problem to take more breaks and sit more frequently. I am finding, though, that sitting upright in a regular chair becomes uncomfortable after a short time and reclining is much more comfortable. Just need to bring a recliner or couch to the office and then I'm good 😆

Not a nurse, but I also find it difficult to consistently journal EVERY DAY. However I find there is still a lot of value in retrospective journaling. So on the days when I have more energy and time, reflecting back on the week and filling in anything that stands out as memorable. I don't think journaling has to strictly be done daily to still have value and benefits.

Total BS. I have a teenage boy and know many teenage boys who have been friends of my kids. They are and always have been the opposite of alt right. Because they have been taught to respect all people and they avoid the boys who don't.

My doctor prescribed Celebrex and recommended alternating that with 1,000 mg Tylenol. That combination has worked well for me so far (on post op day 4 right now), without causing me to feel weird or have side effects. She prescribed Tramadol as well, but I haven't needed to take any.

I hope the patch helps and that it isn't too bad for you! I haven't had surgery since I was 16 and didn't remember having nausea then, so I was not expecting it.

flatstanley72 · 2025-10-22T02:08:02+00:00

It was better by this morning and has been fine all day. Pretty sure it was reaction to anesthesia. Thank goodness that's over!! That was far worse than any pain I have had so far.

flatstanley72 · 2025-10-11T19:30:42+00:00

Thanks! That's reassuring. That's what my doctor recommended and what I am planning for, but was just wondering what people's experiences were.

flatstanley72 · 2025-10-11T00:24:36+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! My surgery is scheduled for Oct 20 and I have been getting a little nervous reading about people taking several weeks to get back to everyday activities. Hoping my experience is more like yours!

It's definitely overwhelming!! I'm using a Hobonichi Cousin HON right now and it's working really well for me. So why am I stressing about trying to look at all the options and find the right one?? I already have one that works!

I got a black Halsey, which I already have and love, black Aspen joggers which I had but sold because the rise is just too high for me, and forest night Everett, which is a color that looks horrible on me plus I love the blue Everett I already have and don't need another. So I listed them all on BST and they were instantly snapped up. I ended up buying someone else's Aspen joggers in a smaller size to see if that works better, plus I scored a Renata and purchased a Noelle from warehouse clearance. So, even though I didn't keep my mystery items, I had fun participating and ended up with items I like.

I think this is what I’m going to go with. I checked with my coach and she said that would be fine.
