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!

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.

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 Tuesday Morning Gang. Chilly this morning here in CT and is supposed to get colder by the weekend. We have a small fire fighter class at work today and then getting ready to take boiler 1 down for repairs tomorrow. The rest of the day should be quiet.

I have to call and reschedule an appointment I had to cancel a couple of weeks ago due to things going on at work. I know they probably won't be able to get me in until the new year, but it's nothing urgent.

QOTD: If money wasn't an issue, would you help out a family who fell on hard times during the holidays? While I try and donate a few toys to local businesses; if money wasn't an issue and I had unlimited funds I would 100% help a family out with gifts for everyone and a complete holiday meal. I've seen so many people asking for help and it's rather heartbreaking.

B: coffee and bacon, egg breakfast wrap

L: chicken soup and two ham/cheese/lettuce wraps

D: liver, onions, and mushrooms

Hitting the Y and then going through a couple of totes.

Have a great day everyone!!
