Finally Friday's Menu
Morning gang. I'm so glad it is Friday. I have to call Ready Refresh they are who supplies us with bottled water at the plant. They never made the delivery yesterday and now rescheduled it to Monday. I have a feeling today is going to be a long day.
Nothing much for the weekend planned. Hoping to start some more black garlic and some seeds for the peppers. We are going to get a few alfalfa bales for the rabbits and goats.
QOTD: What is your preferred method of communication? I prefer to talk to people on the phone instead of texting or emailing unless it has something to do with a work issue, then I will email just to have a trail of what was said.
B: coffee and egg/bacon wrap
L: Bok choy soup
D: baked monk fish with sautéed Brussel sprouts
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day everyone.
Good morning, everybody!
Marilyn and my son didn't get bac****il about 11:00 last night, so it was a late night picking them up at the airport. I ended up skipping swimming this morning. I've missed some days because of travel, but this is my first skip since I started in October.
The CrossFit Open starts today. I am hoping to get home in time for the 3:30 class. The workout is 15 minutes of burpees over the dumbbell, jag dumbbell clean and press and walking lunges. It uses a 3,6,9, etc. rep scheme I am hoping to get through the round of 18.
Other than that we are going out to dinner tonight and I would like to get my car washed.
QOTD: emailing for day to day and call for larger matters
breakfast: egg sandwich
lunch: shells
dinner: Burgundy pairing dinner
Have a great day, all!

Good mornin y'all!
so glad this week is over too...well almost over. Ha.
Good mornin ladies.
Can't sleep much as usual.
Yesterday was a doozy. I have osteoarthritis in the SI area. I have to see a GI doctor now. My doc believes I have a bleed somewhere as my iron is pretty low and other numbers point to it I guess. I have to get monthly B12 shots. I have to get more lab work and UR analysis next week. Take a strict iron regimen. I may have something up with my kidneys, either an infection or damage.
Right now I'm freaking scared I'll lose coverage with Medicaid. I'm lucky that I still belong to the clinic I got to. If I lose Medicaid I will have a bit of backup just in case. I'll lose a lot of things but will get basic stuff. I'm just terrified. I'm on Medicaid due to being on disability. I don't know how I'll survive without either.
i'm angry and I'll be damned if I give up on any of this but there is fear too.
Today will be just a thrift store day. I may wash my bedding. I was able to order my nieces Bday gifts. She's is wanting to learn CM so there it is! I am excited but also scared...she is left handed and will likely weave different than me so it'll be interesting for both of us. I also got her a couple pairs of pliers. I always over do for these kids but oh well...it makes me happy when they feel seen!
QOTD: depends on who. I hate hate hate talking on the phone. Esp to strangers. Email I would say...not a fan of texting.
B: breakfast burrito, coffee and 5 pretzel nuggets(ugh).
L: Not sure on this one. I haven't been able to eat a lot of protein and I need to focus on it.
D: chicken with Brie and maybe some Brussels sprouts
bracelet I made 10 years ago and a meme.
QOTD- At work email, but it gets the best of me. I don't sort or file them so I'm constantly searching for them. For personal if it's short a text will do, but I'd prefer to talk.
It's spring, we were officially over 60 yesterday. My crocus and daffodils are starting to bloom. We still had frost last night but it's going to be 64 today, almost warm enough to dry my clothes outside.
I need to see if I can get my yard guys to dig up the rose bushes, I have 5 and they are not attractive and need to go. One is just the root stock with long vines that occasionally put out red roses. I'd like to use the bed for a garden instead, it's the one that gets the most sunshine. Last years garden was a disaster, I'm not going to use seeds. I started them too late and it was too hot, I need to get the drip mist system going so that it will ge****ered more evenly.
TGIF I couldn't stand another day of this torture.
Have a great day everyone!
