What's on your Tuesday Menu?

Good Morning Everyone! I have been up for many many hours, reading the internet and playing all the word games. I'm very awake though, so I am not mad.
Hmm, I cannot account for my time yesterday. What did I do? I looked for jobs but there was literally nothing to apply to. I decorated some cookies, but only for a few hours. I put away stuff from class. I talked to a potential new client. The rest of the day is a blur. There is no truer saying that "if you need something done, give it to a busy person" because I used to get more **** done before 9am than I do all day now.
Today we are going to the movies at noon to see the new Poirot movie (this is by far the best bart of unemployment!) Then at 4pm I am meeting a new potential host for my cookie classes. There is a new craft store opening up close by and it might be a good partnership!
QOTD: When is the last time you yelled at someone? Other than an occasional shout at a cat, I honestly can't remember yelling at anyone in the last several decades. I hope Grim won't disagree!
Accountability: Remember how I said I would throw out the peanuts? Yeah, I didn't do that.

Good mornin QJB and everyone.
Not sure what's planned for today. I got hardly anything done yesterday. Pain levels were high and I had a headache all day. I didn't get a nap either. You'd think that would mean I'd sleep better...HA! We did grill some flank steak that was rather tasty.
My request is still pending with my Medicaid company. I got all excited s they called while we were out. Turns out it was a courtesy call about more benefits...like rides and what not. What a bummer.
I'm going to try and start focusing on more meat/protein dishes. I really just don't eat enough of it. My eating has been hit or miss. I don't even know what motivation is it seems. It's so frustrating to know I have all these reasons I should lose weight but not care enough to actually do it. I've been eating my feelings and my tiredness.
QOTD! My mom lol. I yelled out at her yesterday. She's a yeller though. Always has been. It's prob why I hate yelling so much. My grandpa was hard of hearing so we yelled a lot with him but it wasn't malicious. I also yell at the cats sometimes. They are naughty.
B: oatmeal, pumpkin and coffee x 2
L: salad with taco meat, hard boiled eggs and shredded cheese - the toppings may change, I may get some ground chicken to cook up
D: I'm thinking soup...I need to make a small pot and have some lentils I need to cook up.
S: PP shake, popcorn and ????
Have a wonderful day everyone!

Good morning and happy Tuesday! I have a sore throat that started Sunday and is getting worse. I think it's allergies so I'm hopefully it won't turn into any thing significant before I get home tomorrow night. Would like to stop the coughing that comes with the irritated throat because my ribs hurt....I'm sure my fellow meeting mates would like me to stop coughing too. All day meetings, then a retirement dinner. I have my workout in (weak as it was, it was something!) and should be back to the hotel early. Our retiree is known for always wanting the earliest possible dinner so we did that one last time.
coffee plus half and half x9,000
pb berry toast
skyr
korean celebration lunch at work
filet and asparagus
make it a terrific Tuesday all

Oh no, so sorry you are under the weather. I hope you feel better ASAP!
I approve of your # of coffee servings.
Jen, my son said that it is getting to be allergy season in Colorado also.
