Today's podcast is not about my sheets and the fact that I wash them when they were brand-new. Nope. Today's going to be about my absolute horrible just Godly horrible relationship with fitted sheets. Oh, God.
We're not just gonna talk about that I promise And so welcome to the daily grateful I Michael crows and the sheets are on the bed and I gotta tell you I I don't You know endorsing something pays me by going to endorse this. What did I get? I got the I should look this up I got the Amazon basics. All right.
Let me just type this in here and go into my orders and see What exactly this is that I got because it is like that cool. Here it is. Nope, that's not it There it is. All right.
I get here's what I got. I got the Amazon basics lightweight Sufers super soft easy care microfiber four-piece bed sheets set with 14 inch deep pockets, which by the way came in handy, okay And I got it in clean Dutch blue and it was $16 in 50 cents now I again buying sheets has always been weird, you know, because you know with fiber, you know Thread count all this other stuff that I fought with for years. These are really comfortable and they're 16 dollars Okay, I mean people that we only buy $16 now bought bought after washing them and drying them and Then it came time to put them on the bed and then I have a fitted sheet now There's a couple of things I cannot do I cannot fold a fitted sheet I cannot fold a fitted sheet my girlfriend my former girlfriend the late daddy. Oh, God love her She could fold a fitted sheet just like that and she said I'm going to teach you how to do this I know you're not I can't you know, there's a couple things I can't do I can't water ski and she's looking at me like I'm not and I said I can't fold fitted sheets and she was why can't you water size?
I tried I grew up on a lake in Michigan and every summer this one woman. I remember her name was Gert I'm sure it was Gert true, but Gert Larry Weaver's mom. She said I guarantee you I will have you up skiing and no time flat I said like you know, okay, we'll try She finally gave up on me and called me a name But anyway, she was a nice lady any and Larry's a good guy. I wonder what ever happened to him anyway Folding fitted sheets.
I've had everybody try to tell you try to teach me to do this. You do this Yeah, I can't do it can't do it. So I don't even try I do the best I can I fold them up They look terrible I stick them in the closet, you know, that's what I do But the other thing I have a hell of a time doing and tell me if I'm the only one here Tell me if I am the only one here and then we're gonna get onto the subject of today's podcast I promise but tell me if I'm the only one who thinks this all right Putting a folded sheet on the bed is difficult because you know You don't know which corner to put in and this is in this dries me crazy now Sometimes they have tags right and you put the one tag in the corner Well, this one had a tag I put the tag in the corner when down there Then I'd go around to the other side and I put that in there and it just seemed really loose I said okay, that's not right and then I tried to take it up to the top and there was no getting it up to the top because I I did done it wrong, so I said, okay, so we'll try this again the other way and then I keep trying you know It took me forever and I did and why does life have to be so difficult, you know Why am I not rich enough to have somebody who just comes in and does this for me every week because I go through this every week now The other sheets I was used to my new exact name. These are new sheets.
They're totally different. They want to put the top sheet on I said, okay How do I know where is the very top of the top sheet because on the other ones see there's a like a two-inch little thing that you And I didn't see it was there I found it and then the pillowcases. Yeah, oh my god I see these are these things comfortable. I really love them I just absolutely love them, but you know a little bit of trauma getting there just just a little bit and I'm so grateful that that's the only thing I had to worry about yesterday was a damn fitted sheets You know, I just so so grateful about that now what I want to talk about today is nutrition because I have been Nutritioning it now since I've been on I have been on ozempic and by nutritioning it.
I'm just not eating I eat but I don't eat but then I was eating the bad stuff when I did eat and I've lost weight I've lost you know a bunch of weight But that's not why I went on the ozempic I went on the ozempic because my a1c was at 11 points something and I said holy But doli and I went to the doctor said do whatever I didn't ask for ozempic I said we're gonna do ozempic and then it went from 11 points something down to 8.1 And now it is 6.7 or 8 I forget what it is. So it's heading in the right direction I'm doing everything right, but I've been eating the wrong stuff Okay, so I want more of a balanced diet and I'm not an expert on nutrition and well-being Okay, I'm not an expert on that. So I went on to the computer and I said, you know I want to talk about the benefits of being mindful and grateful of what I eat and make sure that I'm not you know overdosing on carbs, although I do eat carbs I need the energy, but I need to do the fiber. So I've been working hard on that and I'm green beans I love green beans.
I like broccoli. I don't love broccoli, but I like broccoli and what else do I like? I like asparagus as a matter of fact I love asparagus and I never loved and I want to tell you a secret that I've never told anyone about before Should I tell this secret the first time I ate asparagus a guy who was a friend of ours and when I say ours, I'm going to identify him as a friend of ours with one of my three wives Okay, and he invited us over for dinner and he made dinner and He made chicken fried steak, which by the way was quite good It was quite good and then he had with it asparagus and I had never had asparagus and it looked weird And he had it in holiday sauce and all this and I took it and I started biting into it and it was good It was really really good. I really enjoyed it And I said I have now found something new that I like so I'm a big one for asparagus and I like it I bought it fresh and I've prepared it myself.
I've steamed it. I've done all kinds of things I got a lot about her to it, and you know, I just love asparagus So the strange part about that story is I found out later that none or mine. I'm not gonna try it Wait for the book and I have to be mindful and I'm grateful that I'm now working on being mindful about what I eat and I will have a double cheeseburger. Okay.
There's meat. There's some red there So, you know and there's dairy all wrapped up in that double cheeseburger and I skip the fries Just don't want and and then that's not true because sometimes I'll get the fries because you know I will get food for me and Zack and his girlfriend and I will combine the fries and I'll have like two or three fries I used to eat a large order of fries and I don't do that anymore I just a little bit here a little bit there, but I'll eat the double cheeseburger and then the calories of the Wendy's double cheeseburger and That's with all the lettuce and all that other crap. That's not that I don't eat I don't I haven't plain but with everything on it. It's like six hundred ninety calories, and that's that's that's good You know and I'm full.
I mean I'm not hungry when I order that so I will order that and I will eat it And that's all I eat that that will be it and I said I got to do better than that. So now I'm working on vegetables. I'm working on I'm working on Maybe you know I don't know how to make chicken fried steak, and I need to learn how to do that Okay, I need to learn how to do that So I got a little bit of chicken fried steak and some asparagus that sounds good or green beans I love green beans with a little bit of mashed potatoes You know that's not bad and you know how I do mashed potatoes I go to the grocery store and I buy the mashed potatoes that are already made that you know that you just stick in a microwave They're good. I like that.
I run it in there I put a glob of butter in there, and then I'll you know do that and I'll eat a steak once in a while But I can't eat a steak now my favorite ex-wife and I six ex-wife number two. I am Love it dearly and she's out of town for all this next weekend. I miss her, but anyway We would go to Aldi and buy it to ribeyes, and we would make you know I would grill steak Ah, I grill great ribeye. I do I I grill a fabulous ribeye, but she's gone But since I've been on a zimpic I grilled one for myself.
I got a small one. She was out of town She goes out of town a lot lately, and she's helping her friend in Lakeland And I grilled one for myself, but it was a small one, and I couldn't eat half of it I just couldn't it was delicious and melted in my mouth I you know I didn't do the mashed potatoes I just did green beans and I ate more green beans than I'd steak and then I don't save stuff like that Okay, this is a bad habit of mine. I just tossed it. It's gone.
Goodbye. I'm very nice, and you know And by the way, I'm also I have this terrible guilty thing that I do if I go to a restaurant I will not bring food home leftovers home from the restaurant. I just never do that Oh, you know my kids do it. My you know Diane does it when we go out.
I don't do it I just I just don't you know I eat it there. That's that's it. That's good, but I need to be you know More mindful of what I'm eating I'm not gonna go on some stupid health nut thing But I'm gonna be very grateful for healthy eating habits, and I want you to do the same thing Oh, I want you to be grateful for a healthy eating habits and fitted sheets Man, and we made it halfway through the weekend.
