Good morning! It's not quite as spooky out this morning. Which is good because I am going to self forced to walk in it.
I had a good day all around yesterday. I did make it to the gym, though I opted out of the fitness class. 50 minutes on the treadmill, 40 minutes on the weight machines. 94 minutes of exercise over all and 10,740 steps. Food was mostly on point. But PSA -- don't buy the maple kettle corn from TJ's. It's dangerous. And I had just the one glass of wine i promised myself during the debate. Civil discourse. I can be done after all!
Today I am taking my car in for an oil change at the dealership and then walking the long way home. That should net me about 3 miles I think. I cleaned out drawers yesterday and I am aiming to clean out my bathroom cabinet today. And I need to put out the Halloween decorations. I've got fall everywhere so I just need to add the Jack o'lanterns and the silly stuff.
QoTD: Emily in Paris dropped a new season. And The Great British Bake Off started last week.
Bites today
B: undecided. We'll see what I'm wanting after the walk
L: BLT made in butter lettuce and pop chips
D: trying cheese cracker coated chicken tenders made with Quest cheddar crackers. And I really have to roast up these baby eggplants from my farmer delivery.
Peace!

I know the current belief is that work contacts should end at 5:00 but I always loved get togethers with my work buddies. Hope it is great fun.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Not that she is likely to listen, but I think cataract surgery is a wonderful experience. I had it a few years ago and my vision went back to 20-20. I do need glasses for reading, but needed them for distance since I was 10 years old. The lenses had yellowed over time. With the new lenses everything is so much brighter and clearer. I was afraid of the surgery and kept putting it off, but it was so quick and easy. I had to wear a shield over the eye for a day and use drops three times a day.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Hi gang. I've got some stuff done already, and I'm back for more. I need to do some yard work. I really should look for someone to do hydroseeding. I leveled several really large spots, but it was so dry I never put down seed. Pretty soon it will be too late.
Everything is pretty much on track otherwise. I hope you all have a good day.
QOTD: we just finished season 1 and part of season 2 of The Old Man, and really like it.

that film was great - we featured it in one of my documentary discussion groups a few weeks ago - everyone loved it!

Good morning ~ Sometimes a sick day is exactly what is needed. I had a very productive day yesterday. I have never completed a report so quickly. I have been working on fixing this particular workbook for months now and finally this month, the stars aligned. What used to take me over a week to do, took less than a day. This is the goal for all the reports and projects, to simplify. I don't understand how they became so complicated in the first place. Little by little, I'll get there. Today is more getting ahead and a weekly meeting with my boss this afternoon.
QOTD - I haven'****ched much lately except The Perfect Couple and the We are the World documentary called The Greatest Night in Pop 2024. That was a fun trip down memory lane, but I can't get that damn song out of my head. The best part about the whole documentary was Bob Dylan towards the end.
Accountability - perfect, 59 exercise minutes, 10,299 steps. Today I am 167.8 and I have 30 min done on the treadmill.
B- coffee, yogurt w/protein granola and strawberries
l - pork chop tacos, seriously the last of it...
d- ham and cheese omelette
s- cutie, vanilla protein shake w/coke zero taste test!
Have a great day!

Good morning! Sorry you are sick. The pits. I hope today is a wonderful day of recuperation!
I have read some really positive reviews of Nobody Wants This on Netflix. I may give it a whirl this weekend. I have RSVPed no to a few social obligations because I just feel like I'm burning the candle at both ends. The move date is coming soon! I am so, so excited!
Today I am meeting some colleagues downtown DC at a WeWork and we are running an enablement session on zoom together. After work we are going to one of the gal's apartment for a work sponsored fun activity - making tacos! All the food was delivered right to my door. I'm a fan of team building through I know others do NOT want to zoom with their colleagues at 6:30 pm. But we are treating it as a social experience!
My ears today - 1/4 of a potbelly leftover sandwich, if I'm lucky then poke for lunch, and a small chicken and corn taco for dinner. It's foong to be a great day! I have been up for hours and accomplished a lot but now I'm laying back in the bed with the cat and it's glorious! Have a wonderful day!
Mornin' All!
glad to hear you're taking a sick day, QJB - hope you start feeling better!!
I was at a debate party last night. I brought Tim Walz's "award winning" hot dish (the recipe of which I got for donating to their campaign - thought it sounded like a great campaign gimmick and made for a fun "potluck" item!). Pure fat in that thing, so I didn't eat much of it - but someone else brought this wonderful almond cake with raspberries and ice cream (it was so great I had two pieces - yikes!) plus lots of wine. So I"m feeling a bit like the Goodyear blimp this morning. I need to have a light couple of days to balance this out. So I'll be watching it today!
I have to take my mother to a retinal specialist this morning. Her regular ophthalmologist said her cataracts are to the point where they can remove them, but she has some inflammation in one of her retinas that she wants this specialist to take a look at first. My mother is convinced she's going blind, of course (she always thinks the worst of everything). Hope this appt goes OK. She also has an appt in early November to get a Botox injection in her bladder, but I don't think she's going to go through with it. She's been freaking out about it for the last couple of weeks. I've had to message her urologist's office a couple of times to ask questions my mother had, and they're always reassuring, but then a couple of days later, it's something else. At least it's still a month away - but at this point I'd be surprised if she goes through with it. She spends WAY too much time reading Dr. Google.
QOTD: I've got nothing. Most of my watching is political-oriented stuff on YouTube.
OK - food - I'll take a stab:
coffee with half & half
skyr with fruit
protein bar (in case this appt and the aftermath goes longer than I'm expecting)
Jimmy Dean's D'lights Egg McMuffin thing (?) - (with egg whites and turkey sausage)
protein ice cream or protein muffin
Loma Linda taco filling with tomatoes, plain Greek yogurt, and salsa
Have a great day, everyone!
