If you were nearby I would bring you some pint jars. I think that this was my last year of canning. I forgot how much work it was.
I finally got my refrigerator fixed. I have the American Home Shield Warranty and the first repair company they sent out said I had broken the part that was required. No idea how I was supposed to have done it since it is on the top shelf and I've never touched it. My refrigerator was freezing things and the water dispenser was not working. I had to get a second opinion and they were not happy with the other company because they have to clean up after them all the time.
My boss is in Washington and they have snow right now. We are supposed to get snow possibly tonight. Fortunately I work from home so no need to drive anywhere. I hate driving in snow, I'm a white knuckle driver and avoid it if at all possible. Thankfully I have Instacart and get my groceries delivered.
My narcissus are blooming now, and the grape hyacinths and my daffodils are up but not yet blooming. It seems early to me especially when we are expecting snow. My flowering plum tree is also blooming. Pink petals floating around everywhere. It's the only tree I'd gladly get rid of, its limbs are pretty fragile and I worry that they will break and come down, maybe not on my house but maybe my neighbors.
Have a great day everyone!

Good mornin y'all.
i've got a rare day off of appointments. We need to run to the bank and the fedex store to mail our old modem.
my mom is on a tear this morning. Huffing and puffing. I'm sick of it honestly. I don't do things exactly like her or read her mind so I am always at fault.
i lost a whole 5 pounds in a month or so on restricting calories to around 1600 or less. My doctor had to talk to me like I'm an imbecile. I don't blame him but it really got me down. He has tried and tried, he knows I can't be super active especially now with the new issues. I am fighting a really dark cloud right now.
we're having a lot of wild fires not even 30 miles from our house. We are NOT in danger at all right now. We had a gust of 70mph yesterday. I was on the road back to Amarillo from Lubbock. We got caught in a haboob. It was so freaking scary. Pics below...I was in the passenger seat.
B: protein waffles and coffee
L: prob a burrito or eggs
D: pork boneless ribs and maybe corn
Happy Wednesday Gang. We are halfway through the week. We are in cleaning mode here at work today to get ready for the BAU audit that starts tomorrow. It is going to be a busy day. Other than that not much else going on.
I have to go to Walmart today to get some pint canning jars so I can see if the new cover Presto sent works. It looks like it fits the way it is supposed to and I have so much stuff I want to pressure can to clear out the freezer. So far I have 13 Tulips coming up that I planted in pots. I will transplant them in the Spring in the flower bed I'm going to be making. Irvin and I have big plans for this year.
B: coffee and 2 scrambled eggs with cheese
L: left over pot roast
D: tossed salad with egg salad
Tonight is weight training night at the Y.
Have a great day everyone!!!

Happy Fat Tuesday Gang!! Irvin has job interview this morning for a driving position with a cement company. He just couldn't stay retired. The training here at work will be starting at 8am and I guess we have a solid waste audit also.
There was a shooting in Pawtucket, RI during a school hockey game. The shooter from what I gather killed their ex-wife and daughter. There had been ongoing family issues and disputes due the shooters gender identity. Things are really starting to get out of control with all these shooting and the worst part is that those of us who have gotten our pistol permits and taken all the required classes will end up having our guns taken from us because of those who should have never been able to acquire a gun in the first place. Sending prayers to all of those involved.
QOTD: What's your favorite way to learn something new: reading, watching videos, or interactive workshops? I prefer either watching a video or interactive workshop. Though it is mostly watching videos.
B: coffee and 2 scrambled eggs with cheese
L: buffalo chicken salad over toss salad
D: baked pork chops and sauteed bok choy and mushrooms
Going to the Y for some low impact aerobics.
Have a great day everyone!!

You've been a busy bee! Score on the pressure washer!
I have an appointment today. I've on.y lost 8 pounds on the 1500 calorie diet. Mind you though I went a bit off the rails for my birthday. Back at it and doing a lot better. I only have Wednesday off from appointments this week. They are saying we're going to have critical fire weather Tuesday. We've been warned of brown outs. Gusts up to 60 possible close to here. Of course I have an appointment in Lubbock in the late morning tomorrow. I kind of resent that I have to go down there but it is what it is.
I posted on Friday I saw my NP at the women's health clinic. Well I am being referred to a high risk gynecologist for some pelvic floor issues. I have a grade one cystocele, ungraded rectocele and most likely a pretty bad Enterocele. Well at least at this time my uterus is not moving. The Np said be prepared for surgery...so that's happening. I should hear this week about when I'll see the gynecologist. It shocked me because I do kegels all the time. I have tried some of the exercises and it caused a lot of back pain. Not a happy camper. Hopefully I should be hearing from Texas tech about an appointment this week.
breakfast was an egg and a protein bar...also coffee
lunch will be most likely a taco
dinner is unplanned.
have a great one y'all.
Good Monday Morning Gang!! I got 150 pepper seeds planted, 48 eggplant seeds, and 15 tomato seeds. On Saturday we went to the beef farm in Somers to get some different things. Ended up having some nice sirloin steaks and lobster tails for Valentines dinner. Then for dessert there was chocolate covered strawberries.
We went to an indoor yard sale yesterday morning and scored a new electric pressure washer for $5. That will make washing the vehicles much easier in the Spring and Summer.
I have a new hire starting today so I'll be a bit busier than usual, but that's ok just makes the day go by faster.
B: tea and 2 scrambled eggs with cheese
L: some of the pressure canned chicken breast
D: Chef salad
Hitting the Y tonight for weight training.
Have a great day everyone!!
