What's on your Monday Menu?

I was going to Google that word but that may put ME on Americas most wanted list, so I'll hold off LOL!

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Good morning.

I'm sorry you're er the weather. It sucks. Summer cold sucks. How is the knee?

My weekend fun is over, time to return to reality of work. But it feels like I need a weekend. It was busy. And I was overheating all the time. I learned a bunch, and the conference fee include all notes and all audio recordings of the lectures. So I would listen to the ones I couldn't attend.

A few points that were important: take care of your body, reduce stress- by learning how to deal with it, movve around, and take melatonin. Melatonin is critical of body hormone ti deal with inflammation and brain health. 3-5 mg every night can help. Find time for yourself - practice self care.

I bought honey for my honey - local Georgia wildflower honey. It probably going to last Keith a year. He uses 2 tsp per day in his tea. Cats were relatively happy I got home.

Today's menu:

Liquids

L: Salad with meat

D: pork with carrots.

S: cheese and apple

I'm sure the cats were very happy they just wanted to play it cool!

By the end of the evening - Dewey was happy to see me. And later he slept with me most of the night... Emma - she is in her own world..

This morning - he promptly got on my lap as I was drinking my coffee... just because.. his favorite place to be as I'm waking up for the day. I need my morning hormones and my 2 large coffees to really wake up and function. (steroids and thyroids). I can try to make it 1 hr if I have to, but...I really need 2 hrs to be able to drive safely.

Good morning ~ I hope you feel better, JB. I had a lovely and LAZY weekend and I'm not ready to go back to work today - at all. I have mgmt/sup meeting all morning and a couple of evals to do with new person this afternoon. Otherwise just another busy Monday. Still struggling to get into a new book... I've started and stopped the last 6, maybe 8 now which is unusual for me. Struggling with SK's Firestarter right now. I thought for sure I would have no problem with an SK, but here I am. I'm still in brain fog - low energy mode I guess. It is getting better though. I am making through my days and workouts okay, so I'll take that as progress.

QOTD - No, I am usually (or try to be) careful or delicate in writing - in person is different. Lordy, who would want to elected to public office these days?

Accountability - 5 tater tots

B- coffee, protein bar

l -baked chicken thigh w/tiny side salad

d- pesto chicken w/parm

e - gym - cardio warm up and weights, hydro massage

700cals, 83g protein

Have a wonderful day!

I saw over the weekend that there will be another episode of YJ but closer to the beginning of season 3, and timing on both are TBD due to the writers strike

Good Morning! Sounds like a good except for getting sick! I hope you feel better soon, rest when you can. Em and I did go see The Little Mermaid and we both really liked it. I did shed a few tears, first time was right at the beginning when the music first started, many memories from when Em was little. John and went to a small flower market on Saturday, I did work a few hours from home and the rest of the weekend was couch/tv time.

How's John's recovery coming along? Is he back at it or still doing PT?

He is still doing PT three days a week. His range of motion is about 120 degrees so he's doing well. If he sits too long it still tightens up on him pretty bad. Thanks for asking
