What's on your Thursday Menu?

I think I live a whole other life when I am asleep at night. I remember very little, but know there are people and places where I am constantly. Many times I am in my childhood home with all my siblings but they are all the ages that they are now.

Hope all goes well with the surgeon and insurance approval today.

You're speeding right along! Feels like April is almost here.

I do a lot of ordering of groceries and restaurant food and the delivery people often have phones from different area codes and the calls are legitimate. If I end up getting a call from someone selling something, I hang up and block the number.

Good morning. I am sitting here in denial that I need to be to work in an hour and 10 minutes and I still need to shower and drive there. Today is going to be a good day with a hair appointment afterward.

QOTD- I don't answer the phone unless it's someone that I know. I still have a landline too. I have in the past answered the phone and it's some aunt that used to be married to my uncle that I get stuck on the phone with.

Also, funny story about not answering the phone. Over Christmas break, my work closes for 2 weeks. I manage a meal site for Senior Citizens. One of them called me and I didn't answer the phone because I was in the shower. A bit later, my husband informed me that there was an old man standing in our yard trying to figure out how to get to my front door in the snow. I opened the door and asked him how I could help him. He said that he really needed to talk to me, but I didn't answer the phone. I can't believe he showed up at my house! Boundaries are a beautiful thing and not something seniors understand. Needless to say, after we reopened in January, I asked that I not be called at home and to please not show up at my house.

Accountability- Good

Food plan for the day-

Cold brew with vanilla protein shake

2 boiled eggs

Reds breakfast sandwich

Grilled chicken salad with Olive Garden light dressing

Walk with hubby this evening, vitamins always

Have a great day. It's almost Friday

I finally got rid of the landline phone last fall. It makes my home so much more peaceful. It was always ringing with telemarketers and people that I really do not need to hear from anymore. There are tons of lonely people who use their telephone to try to get companionship and they can take a real toll on nerves.

It is also concerning that he knew where you lived.

Good morning all and Happy Thursday,

We're almost to the weekend!

QOTD - I answer calls as long as it's an Illinois area code and they don't start with my prefix.

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, Tangerine.

L: brisket chili.

D: grilled chicken, basil, fresh mozz, balsamic reduction.

On a trip to Costa Rica our plane was delayed for over and hour. By the time we hit Charlote we missed our connecting flight due to long lines in customs. I knew I had a cousin that lived there so I got his number from his mom to see if he could help because we needed to spend the night and there were no hotels due to some big convention in town. My first call went unanswered. After he looked at the number and realized it was from someone in Pittsburgh number, he figured he should call back in case there was a problem with his mom and dad. I was so lucky he called back. He picked us up and we were able to spend the night get a shower and he drove us back to the airport in the morning. We heard nightmare stories from people who were stuck in the airport or at really seedy hotels.

So glad you were able to connect with your cousin and have a welcoming situation for the evening. I will answer any #s when I travel.

Also, I do receive calls from strangers looking for help. I regularly take phones for the Chicago AA central office for a few hours. Sometimes it's no calls for days and some days I can't get off the phone.
