What's on your Wednesday Menu?

Someday there will be grandbabies and diapers will once again be on your radar.

I never had a mango margarita and now I want one.

Yay, graduation weekend is almost here.

Mornin' All!

well yesterday they were forecasting rain off & on today, but now they're not - although it rained like crazy last night. I'll go out and bike as long as it's not too humid - and avoid gravel trails since they're probably muddy at the moment.

I have a meeting at 1:00 with one of the development people at the university. Their foundation is one of our two trust beneficiaries (since we don't have kids), and I emailed them the other day asking if I just need to fill out a new form to change some of our percentages (i.e, what percentage of our "gift" goes to what departments or units). He never answered my question and suggested we meet over coffee today. He's a real hard seller, so I'm hoping he's not going to try talking me into donating some huge amount of $$ to some current project (which he's done before). I don't mind giving smaller sums here and there, but I'd rather wait until I'm in my 70s to donate large amounts, since who knows what might happen down the road. We'd like to really beef up our international traveling while we can still do it (although at this point we need to wait until my mother is in assisted living), and we'd like to get into a really nice continuous care community at some point (again, since we're child-free). He's called me a couple of times in the past asking if we'll donate something like $10K to some new building project. Ah ...no. Not now. Anyway, at least I'm able to say no. But I've come to dread these meetings. I wish he'd have just answered my damn question.

QOTD: Like a few others, I also hate managing people and moving, but I think the one thing I'm good at that I never want to do again is tech support over the phone. It is SO stressful, especially when you have someone on the other end who has no clue what they're doing and doesn't understand what you're asking them to. How many ways can you explain it? There were times I finally said "can I speak to your tech support person?" - and they'd invariably answer, "I AM the tech support person". UGH!!!!(these were all at schools or public libraries, btw...usually someone like an assistant principal was assigned the role of tech support person, even if they had no clue what they were doing)

coffee with half & half

Ratio yogurt with strawberries

protein shake

cheesecake-flavored yogurt pie with strawberries

baby carrots with hummus

Loma Linda taco filling with diced tomato, a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, and salsa

have a great day, everyone!

I'm a just say no in those kind of situations, Trish. You are driving the bus. I'd be like "No thank you, I haven't time for a meeting, please send any forms I need and have a wonderful day!"

I'm one of the no clue people calling tech support.

Ditto

You could always say no to the invite and request your questions be answered or you'll look at other options. You're kind of the customer in that situation so set your boundaries.

Good morning. Such a pretty day here yesterday, think we get the same today. Roger's appt with the sleep doc went as expected and they are pushing him higher on the device. He did not take that advice yesterday and choose to sleep with it turned off as his throat and tongue are hurting him. So I ended up on the couch for a few fitful hours of sleep. Hopefully he'll feel like getting back to business tonight. We went and saw Fall Guy yesterday. If you love big bang, shoot 'em up, blow it around, over the top violence and Ryan Gosling (all of which I do) it is a fun date and I'm glad I paid to see it at the movies on the big screen. I also loved it was half price day so two tickets for $12. Wheeeeee

Today I shall take my bootie to the gym. 30 minutes on the treadmill, the weight circuit will be completed x 2 and then Aqua fit. At that point I will probably drag myself home, stuff some protein in my face and take a much deserved nap after little sleep last night. Though I should go to the grocery store this afternoon since I'm just about out of choices and I've seen the bottom of the freezer at last.

QoTD: I'm great at multi-tasking and problem solving in a chaotic situation. Having a crisis? I'm your girl. But I'm so happy now that my most chaotic situation is trying to figure out how to get to the gym and do all the NYT games in one morning.

Bites today I hope are:
B: bacon and egg

L: leftover honey soy cod on a zero carb tortilla

D: pork chops and a little mashed potato with roasted cauliflower and broccoli. I have mushrooms to use up so maybe I do some mushrooms and onions to top the pork chop.

Peace Everybody!

I've only tried pork chops once in the last 12 years, and it didn't go well. Do you have any problems with them?
