Good morning.
not much happening today. My mom had the idea to make cookies this week so I MADE cookies this week. I am tired but they are done. We'll be delivering some to my aunt and a cousin then a 2nd cousin. I made chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, oatmeal, peppermint sugar cookie and chocolate crinkle. Did I mention I'm tired? Lol. I also made two pans of fudge to doll out. I have had one piece of each fudge but more cookies than I care to admit. I am stress eating.
if I wasn't sure I was going to switch my provider for mental health care before I sure as hell am now. It's such a joke. Tells me to go to church and do yoga. Mentions to me that I need to manage my chronic pain more. I just about lost it. So after Christmas I will make the call to switch. It's like he's trying to shame me for decisions out of my hands.
insurance still hasn't approved my surgery so we'll see if it still happens.
B: breakfast burrito and a snickerdoodle cookie...of course coffee
have a great one folks. Miss everyone that used to post too.
Good Friday Menuer's. Have a few things planned for the day. We are going to go see Irvin's uncle Frank who isn't doing very well. He had throat cancer a few years ago and it's come back. So we will go visit with him for a bit and then we have our anniversary dinner tonight. Not much else going on today.
The weekend is supposed to be cold with potential snow on Sunday. We'll be doing things inside. I have to finish cleaning the grow tent so I can start hanging some meat to cure. The portable A/C unit a co-worker gave me works pretty well so it should keep the tent at the right temp.
B: coffee and 2 eggs over easy with avocado on top
L: not having any need room for dinner
D: prime rib and stuffed shrimp
Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!!!

Happy Friday-Eve menuer's. The boiler repair went well and quicker than expected. With permission from my plant manager, it got the guys some pizza and cannoli's from a small Italian bakery down the road. They happen to open at 7am so I was able to go order the stuff for 11:30. It was a special surprise everyone. They have a pizza called Dante's Inferno it has soppressata, crushed red pepper flakes, and honey on it. So darn good.
I'm getting out at 1:30 today just because I still have some PTO time to take before the end of the year. The reservations are set for tomorrow and I have to stop and get Irvin an anniversary card.
QOTD: What do you miss most about being a kid during Christmas time? As much as I don't like snow now when I was a kid we would tons of snow and when it would snow on Christmas Eve it was magical. I also miss a pony I had that I would hook up to a sled so he could pull me around.
B: tea and 2 scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon
L: 2 slices of leftover pizza
D: veal and mushrooms
We'll go to the Y earlier today since I'm getting out of work early.
Have a great day everyone!!!

Happy Hump Day to you too! Happy early Anniversary! Hopefully except for tomorrow, I will be sewing pedal to the metal to get gifts made. It's so hard to do with a retired spouse at home but I'm grateful for the interruptions and to have him with me. Need to get those Christmas lights hung outside but it's been so windy and then we have rain to follow.
QOTD: Love nearly all Christmas songs it's just certain singer's versions I can't stand, lol. I could listen to Christmas music all year.
That wild eating on Monday apparently didn't do damage. I'm literally 2 oz. away from 70# so I'm just gonna claim it! I set my goal weight at 145 but have a hunch the surgeon would set it at 135. If I could afford plastics they'd probably be able to remove 5# of skin and hopefully find enough fat to transfer to the girls. A braver person would go to Mexico to have that done and add in dentures too, LOL!
B: ho****er again
L&S: my big frozen protein shake
D: 3 oz chicken breast, 1/2 c FF Greek yogurt, 1/4 c pizza sauce, 3/4 c broccoli if I can get it in.
'K, have to get to the sewing machine...it is 2 pm already.
Have a great day!
Happy Hump Day Gang!!! They have started to take boiler 1 down to make the repair in one of the Urea port areas. Besides that, it should be a quiet day. I have to call New England Steak and Seafood to make reservations for Friday night. It's Irvin and mine's 5th anniversary, even though we've been together since 1998 we made it official in 2020.
QOTD: What classic Christmas or Holiday song can you listen to over and over again without getting tired of it? Jingle bells and Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.
B: tea and breakfast wrap
L: 2 shrimp tacos with beans and rice
D: veal and mushrooms
Have to run a few errands tonight so not sure if we will make it to the Y.
Have a great day everyone!!

Hope your Tuesday went much better than your Monday. Does your mom like to thrift for the thrill of the hunt or just the fun of poking through all the possibilities of the treasures there? Merchandise is down at the ones here (and prices are UP) but in January it will swell again when everybody catches the national declutter bug.
Love the photos of your kitty babies. Thank you for sharing them.
Good evening, hope your day stayed quiet and that the Y was a good workout.
We had our daughter and her family over yesterday (finally) for a tree trimming get together. It took all weekend to get the house pared down enough to find room for all of us. Makes me wonder how my grandma hosted three families of her kids, their spouses and the grandchildren all in a teensy little WWII bungalow. I served a loaded baked potato bar and had oodles of sides and blew all caution to the wind w/my food. The things I ate (cauli instead of potato) amounted to around a tablespoon each and then I had a thin slice of chocolate chip cookie pie.
QOTD: Absolutely. Money will always be an issue but there's always the usual stuff like Toys for Tots and the Angel Tree at church, various food drives. At one of Hub's past duty stations the squadrons would each select an anonymous family and put out suggestions for sizes of clothes, interests and ages for toys and we all would contribute and have them wrapped and tagged by the due date. The squadron would provide the holiday meal and since all of us were poor together it was nice to be able to help out as a group.
B: two mugs of ho****er
L: coffee and half a protein bar
S: ho****er and the other half of the bar
D: 3 oz chicken breast and 1/2 cup of FF cottage cheese
It's day 3,847 since Nutritionix went offline for "upgrades" and I'm slogging through without it but should be eating better.
PS: I was so busy this weekend that I forgot my 19 year Surgiversary on Saturday.
Thanks for your reply, hadn't considered those options.
I don't have a referral to a bariatric doctor, but will contact my GP to get a new referral.

Good mornin y'all.
yesterday was rather awful but it is over so on to today.
we've got to get some groceries. My brother and middle nieces birthdays are the 15th and 12th so we're doing a dinner Sunday. Chicken fried steak and chicken sandwiches. So I'll be tired then.
I think my mom's wanting to go by the thrift stores.
QOTD: I have done stuff when able. I had a friend whose husband lost his job right before Christmas. I got their son some gifts and one for each parent. Wasn't a super expensive endeavor but I felt the need to do it and I don't regret it one bit. I love my friends. I also remember a year when some friends made my year for Christmas...I would never ever be a billionaire as I believe in helping my fellow humans. Even if it just a coffee to say you're thought of and such. It just makes me happier to give than receive.
food is unknown at this point.
