What's on your Monday Menu?

Good morning, I hope everyone had a nice weekend. We're off to take the cats to the vet this morning, and solar installation starts today, too. We still don't have ho****er from the new gas burner install last week, even though they promised the hook up would be done this weekend. It's not exactly like living in prairie times but I am still over it. If we don't have ho****er by tonight I hope I can find an inexpensive hotel nearby. And if we don't have electricity, either, I won't care how expensive the hotel is!

QOTD: What movie or show scared you as a kid? I went to a sleepover in 5th grade where they showed the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and basically I still sleep with the lights on. Meanwhile, Grim's daughter is still traumatized by E.T. We are not the same.

I don't have a good plan for food today. I need to clean out the fridge and see what's available.

Good mornin everyone and happy Monday! Hoping things work out for you and Grim today. Hopefully you'll not need the hotel.

Nothing much happening today. We got almost 2 inches of rain over the weekend and it's in the 40°+ range this morning. I love this weather. We're supposed to be 77° today but that's still in the nice category my shoulder is killing me this morning. Hopefully I'll be hearing from a couple of places today. If not I'll be starting phone calls tomorrow. I may run to the post office today but it may have to wait until Wednesday.

QOTD: Jurassic Park. I thought the thunder was the dinosaurs walking close to us at night. LOL. It didn't last long but at first I was a little scared.

B: eggs, cheese and coffee

L: pizza stick things and a small salad

D: leftover spaghetti with very little noodles

Good morning queen and everyone else! We made it to Monday. I had a super productive weekend that didn't feel like a weekend lol. I hoped my ex get unpacked and get the kids' rooms situated. Then I did a TON of packing and sorting and box taping. I'm paying my cleaning ladies to come help pack tomorrow since my move date is still not final and I don't want to be in a frantic rush. We were in this house for almost 8 years and I forgot that MOVING SUCKS!

Not having ho****er sucks too! I really hope they come today ð?'? Sometimes the app HotelTonight has good options. If it's still an app (haven't used it in a long time)!

QOTD: I'm not a scary movie person at all I've never seen most scary movies. I don't recall one being worse than the others!

I treated myself and got Dungeness crab at Costco. It took me a good hour to break the clusters and claws down. I use a cracker and a utility knife and a little poke tool. Damn it's labor intensive. But sooooo worth it. I have at least a pound of crab meat and for $40. I'll have it for like 7 meals this week.
Meals today: crab, turkey and havarti, crab.
Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning! I hope you have your ho****er back, and of course that you keep the electricity! The weekend was decent with a low key day yesterday since John wasn't feeling great after our booster shots Saturday (he routinely gets body aches/fever after the Covid shot). We watched If last night which was a nice way to close out the weekend.

QOTD: I didn't like scary movies growing up (still aren't my favorite) and I remember being at a slumber party and they were watching children of the corn, I went and played board games in the other room with the others that didn't want to watch.

TSS: 10 years 1 month

B: SF latte, Fiber/protein oatmeal, turkey sausage, and an orange

L: Turkey and cheese sticks, carrots, light and fit yogurt and some fruit

S: Mixed nuts, a piece of fruit and yogurt

D: maybe breakfast?

ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast

E: 1/2 hour elliptical and 20 mins Pilates bar

V/W: On track

Totals: TBD

Have a great day!

My hometown was surrounded by corn and wheat fields. Get any of my classmates together and to this day, we still talk about how horrifying that movie was.

If was great!! He wrote that with his kids during Covid. I think he nailed it.

Good morning ~ The weekend didn't work out like I planned, it was pretty lazy compared to all my plans. I keep doing that, taking weeks to do what should just take a day. I just don't wanna do it all. Anyway, the couch is assembled except the end arm hardwear debacle. They won't/don't line up for some reason so I'm calling cust service today. I should have paid for assembly - next time for sure. Beyond that near divorce problem, I had a nice weekend. Today I have a Dr appt this morning, then I hit the ground running at work for the rest of the month - the usual.

QOTD - Wizard of Oz when I was very little - of course, but the real haunting fears started with Salem's Lot when I was around 8-10. That vampire floating outside the window - omg. I wasn't until about 8 years ago that Rob convinced me to watch the Shining that I realized I had nothing to fear. I watched Salem's Lot eventually and was shocked at how fake and campy it was because it had me so scared for decades! I now worship Stephen King. Still working on reading through his entire library. Psychological thrillers are my favorite.

Accountability - Impulsive pizza order when DS was over yesterday threw me into f*it mode. Why? I could have easily rolled with toppings and side salad but I didn't. 2 active minutes and 7,576 steps. Today I'm 169.2 (yuck) and I have 30 minutes done of the treadmill.

B- coffee, protein shake

l - chicken w/spanish cauli rice w/greek yogurt and salsa

d- chicken and salad

s- melon, nectarine, jerky

Have a great day!

Max will have a new version of Salem's Lot in early October. SK says he's really really happy with it. Have you seen The Shining sequel Dr Sleep? I was skeptical when he released the book so many years after the Shining but it was so good

Dr Sleep is on my pick list for scary October movie watching. Of course, after the #1 opener - The Shining - always The Shining. I don't think I knew about the new Salem's Lot?!! I will definitely watch!

I always pay for assembly. When we did everything outselves there was always some part that did not go together correctly and then I would live with the annoyance for years.
