Topic: RE: What's on your Thursday Menu?

The violet light for fished is interesting. So many things that make it easier and more fun. I want to think I would get the money in $50 bills and hand it to homeless people or to young mothers in the grocery store. Once my mom said she was worrying about money and found a $5 bill on the street. That is when you could feed your family for a few days with $5 and it was a big thing for her.

Good morning, everybody!

Early day today, I'm already in the office waiting for my 9:00 call. I think this is my second week of switching from Thursday to Friday.

So, I got this ultraviolet light for my fly tying. Basically, it causes glue to activate. Instead of putting it on gloopy, it goes on as a liquid and the light activates the glue in seconds. Anyways, I can't get the light to charge. After continuing to switch battery orientations and trying different outlets, I finally gave up. Sent my son a text asking him to look at it for me.

A couple of hours later, I took one last look. Sure enough, the battery was wrapped in cellophane. Oops!

Speaking of new contraptions, has anyone tried the sunscreen that goes on like stick deodorant? I just saw it for the first time, but haven't tried it out.

QOTD: Not sure what I would do with the cash, but sure scarf down the outputs from your cheese machine.

Breakfast: bagel

Lunch: Catered

Dinner: Bratwurst

Have a great day, all!

Good mornin y'all!

Coming off a hard night but I think today'll be good. Nothing much planned. We might do the thrift store and the rehome store. We're looking for a table to go between our chairs. We'll see. Other than that possibility we'll get the room ready for the couch. We are going to have the thrift store we go to most often pick up a few pieces of furniture. Hopefully next week. We've gotten rid of a lot of stuff with lots more to go. I love downsizing! My aunt bought my cricket and supplies so she'll be picking it up next week.

QOTD: half would go to a place called Gracie's project, they are a charity for dogs here in my area, and the other half to the food bank here. I could keep it and I could actually use it to pay on my dental debt. But I wouldn't feel right doing that. If I had money I'd still be broke LOL

B: egg burrito and coffee

L: I'd be lying if I didn't say Torino's pizza rolls. We're trying to use up what's in the freezer.

D: totally no idea.

Good Morning gang. We have all sorts of crazy computer things going on at work today. The printer for the scale tickets is down and our corporate IT can't remote in because their app to do that is down. All I can do is laugh about it. Technology at its finest. Other than that, I have to go make some breakfast casseroles for the guys that I promised.

The weather looks to be nice again today and hopefully the weekend isn't a total wash out like they said it was going to be.

QOTD: If a complete stranger gave you $1000 just because they wanted to would you take and what would you do with it? I would take it and donate half of it to the local cat shelter that does a ton of great things for the community and the feral cat population along with placing cats/kittens that were given up for one reason or another. The other half I would put towards a cheese making machine. :)

B: coffee and 2 eggs scrambled with scallions and cheese

L: salad with 1/2 cup of chicken salad on it

D: chicken burgers on the grill

30 minutes on the treadmill

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!

Good evening, hope you all had a great day. Hubby was away all day so I planned many jobs but the stupid knees had other plans. It was cooler today, only 88, and one job was to tackle some of the garden weeds a bit at a time with rest in between. However I saw the bindweed was flowering so that's a full scale emergency. Got one bed weeded and part of another, also yanked all the vines I could manage that had flowers. Did it without passing out, yay! But now it hurts too much to do my exercises and I have pt at O dark thirty tomorrow.

QOTD: Too many times to count and my house is teeny so they don't get to stay very long. Love this quote from the internet "All this clutter used to be money".

After having to throw up last night's attempt at dinner and sick all evening it wasn't inspiring to plan meals for today but here's what happened today:

B-another chocolate protein/collagen almond milk frappe. So easy and lasts me hours.

L-chopped last night's leftovers to smithereens but was only able to eat half of the half.

D-a pint of homemade chicken-vegetable soup. That's cheating by being a slider meal but I couldn't face anything getting stuck tonight.

LS-2 T chia seeds in water.

Comes to 576 calories, 73g protein, 32 g carbs, 18 g fat and a whopping 2,176 mg sodium. I've got to get control of the salt! PS-there's 2 tsp of Benefiber in that morning coffee every day but this medication really slows things down so it is wise to be proactive with the fiber and daily water.

Good Afternoon, I am glad you were able to create a plan with the plant manager. It is always helpful when there can be a dialogue about a concern or something that is causing stress. This week is a good week here at work to get caught up on projects and improve some processes before we jump into payroll again next week. Tomorrow I will be pretty busy making some quarterly tax payments (Jim, I am sure you can relate!).

QOTD: I bought an Ipad a few months ago and I use it less than I thought I would. I wanted to stop using pen/paper for notes but I still tend to do that instead of pulling out the Ipad. I do use it for my telehealth apps which was the other main reason for it.

I took a rest day and menu is about the same as yesterday.

I hope you all are having a good one!

The trip was great! We had a long day of for the concert but it was so worth it and then Saturday we just shopped and walked around San Diego. The drive to/from wasn't bad and Em slept some but we also had to time to chat. I can't express how much I love my time with her.

I have a pet camera that is still in the box. One of these days I will open it up and figure out how to set it up. The way cats are he might decide not to use it. Like his fancy heated bed that he refuses to have any part of, a lot of what I buy him is not used.

It is 73 with bright sunshine today. Reminds me of the poem that says What is so rare as a day in June. Then if ever come perfect days.

Once long ago I took the exam to work as a postal employee. I had an interview and the person hiring told me I had the top score on the exam and if I wanted the job he had to give it to me. It was a perfect June day. He told me that i would be working in all types of weather and would have to deal with things like dogs. He wanted me to understand that all days would not be a perfect June day and he told me that his opinion was that I would be happier in an office and not out carrying mail.

I was looking for a job and the pay was excellent but he did convince me not to take the job. I got called to GM about a week later and that was an office job with no worries about being out in bad weather or dealing with dogs.

Good morning, everybody!

Ha on the tapestry! It's been beautiful in Chicago this week, but my son's are keeping the house so cold that I keep thinking that it's chilly out. At least until I walk outside.

Last summer I went to lane swimming at 5:30, and the last two times, I have tried the 12:00. Our pool is shaped like an L, so the 5:30 swim uses the longer lanes (50 meters). But I love the 12:00, it's not crowded and the sun is at its peak. I think I'm all in on 12:00.

The Orvis location in downtown Chicago is closing, so they are having a closing sale. I think that I will walk down at lunchtime and see if they have any great deals. All that I actually need are a few tungsten beads and some thread, but I could still return with a full bag, we'll see.

Marilyn asked if I could be home by 5:00, so that she could leave for tennis after she picks me up. Hopefully, I can make 5:30 CrossFit.

QOTD: Yes, mostly tools for projects that never got started.

Breakfast: bagel

Lunch: hot dog

Dinner: hopefully some meatballs are left

Have a great day, all!
