What's on your Wednesday Menu?

Good morning! We had such a nice day yesterday wandering downtown Santa Barbara. Between that and my hard core walk yesterday, I got I over 17k and got credit for 14 flights of stairs (while actually climbing zero staircases). Heading out in a short bit to nail the walk again. Accountability was about a cup of caramel corn. Lunch ended up being sweet Thai chili coated cauliflower as an app . I had to entice Rog into that place with the promise he could have an ice cold beer on a very warm afternoon. And then a walk for savory chicken and waffles. The syrup was miso maple and the serving size was like it was made for a WLS patient!

I think we are taking the bikes today o try to find the beach access to El Capitan Canyon State Beach. Then some pool time, followed probably by naps before dinner and burning the last bit of wood in the fire pit. Seems like a nice day.

QoTD: I'm only good alone for short periods of time and then I start to think I have no friends and nobody loves me. I'm good with just Roger a lot of the time and my preference is my small group of besties. 3 to 6 of us at a time. Large crowds stress me out and cause me anxiety if I don't know everyone.

Bites today,

B. Last of the fajita innards and cottage cheese

L.deli turkey, piece of cheese, pop chips and a bit of hummus. Im thinking I'll be starving after the bike ride

D. Stanley Tucci's family recipe for baked eggs in tomatoes with a piece of crusty bread and pecorino.

Peace Everybody!

Miso maple syrup sounds very yum. Enjoy your beach-y pool-y day!

Sounds Like a great day all around. Good for you.

Your day sounds ideal!

ugh. I typed a huge response and the computer ate it. You guys are lucky.

QOTD: the older I get the more I enjoy solitude. I'm don't mind crows, but don't crave them. Since the pandemic I developed aversion to strangers touching me. Even by passing by me in the crowds (i.e. airports). I'm not germaphobe but after meeting some people and shaking hands I want to go and wash my hands ... Getting the 6f distance from stranger for 2 years - suddenly my personal space is 12 ft in diameter. And we are going to Poland...God help me.

we had a large storm in our area yesterday and we lost power. There was no point for me to go home, so I stayed at work. Power was restored after midnight.

Food: Lately things get stuck in the upper part of my intestines. No good. I hope is something minor, not another hernia.

Menu today:

liquids... with some dinner later on...

I hope you don't have a hernia.

With you on the personal space. Apparently my bubble for comfort is bigger than standard. It felt like people wanted to stand on top of me to have conversations last week. I would take a step back...they would take a step forward. Good times.

I hope it's just beozar. Undigested food. We'll see.

QOTD- Not a crowd person, I get anxiety in crowds. I can take it for a while but then I reach my limit and I have to go. I've had way too much alone time lately. I really need to get out and see people in person, not just on the screen.

My roommate is gone until Sunday, so I will enjoy the quiet and lack of cooking smells. Not a meat eater so the smell of it drives me crazy. The vent hood doesn't vent outside, just moves the air around. I need to see about one that will remove the odors, but it's a really small kitchen and I don't want to spend the money right now. I feel like it's just paycheck to paycheck and has been for most of this year.

I'm having issues on a job, and no one is responding to my pings, or emails or chatter in the app, so I'm kind of lost.

It's going to be a beautiful day today, high of 77 which is just perfect. I need to get out and walk.

Have a great day everyone!

Hope you were able to get out! And that you got the feedback needed for the job you're doing.
