Good morning, everybody!
QJB, I hope you get some rest today. It's nice and cool on the train but getting very hot today.
Marilyn got us new phones at Costco. I guess that there was an AT&T booth and they were trying to get rid of the current generation ahead of the new AI ones that are coming out.
We are trading in our old phones, paying $4 extra a month for 3 years and getting a $500 Costco gift card. It seems too good to be true and I keep asking Marilyn what the catch is? But they seem to be on their way to our house and she has a contract.
I'm not a new phone person, but I am close to an email from work requiring me to upgrade (we can't have phones that don't have current security updates), so it seems like a great deal. We even upgraded DD, who is pretty much off of the payroll.
QOTD: Bai Water is my standby, also some Diet Dr. Pepper, regular water, wine and an occasional decaf coffee.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: chicken sandwich
Dinner: Steak
Have a great day, all!

To get through July, I need to suck it up and manually finish, I 'm in too deep, lol. I may redesign from scratch, or try to fix the workbooks - ugh. Either way I can use all the help I can get! Thanks!
I love SF Slurpees!

Good mornin everyone! Hoping today is a decent one.
Found out that they will not be doing an MRI as originally planned. As I knew would happen no one here can do it. Another myelogram. Should find out today when that'll happen. I am not thrilled but in no way am I surprised so no shock.
Not a lot planned for the day. I need to do a couple loads of laundry. Need to sit down and seriously work on some jewelry. I've been putting it off.
QOTD: ice...lots of ice and water. Maybe a soda 3 times a week.
B: eggs, cheese and coffee
L: pizza stick things
D: shrimp.

Ewww the worst parts of excel, as you know I can relate. Silly question but if you have to write or update some formulas or code have you tried ChatGPT?
QOTD: water, coffee and an occasional slurpee (sf) on the weekends.
Good Morning! I hope you're able to squeeze in a nap if your WFH today. I had my first shockwave therapy treatment yesterday, it was a weird feeling but I'm hopeful I'll see some improvement as I continue (my next appt is next Friday) through the process. I have a few long meetings on my calendar today but I'm sure the day will fly by.
TSS: 10 years
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: TBD
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!

Good morning ~ I was just about to post this when I saw yours - still works so here it is! Tuesday, we meet again. I am struggling with my July reports that include a lot of workbook updates for the new fiscal year and all the forms within them. I'm so mad that the previous persons responsible for this workbook only made their annual changes partway and not all the way through the forms - like only updated 140 out of 232 forms. I can't even.... I thought I was going to lose it yesterday - who does that? All the formulas are off now, and I must fix them. I should start over, but I'm in too deep at this point and I need to get these done. I need an excel wizard because I can do a ton in excel, but some of this I'm stuck doing manual entry. I'm WFH this morning. I have a 7:30 teams meeting, a Dr's appt, go into the office and swim after work.
QOTD - what are you drinking to stay hydrated these days? I can't drink plain water right now (this happens in phases) so I am drinking lots of flavored water. Lately, it's been Jolly Rancher Cherry and Propel grape. The occasional coke zero, Minute made strawberry lemonade, Gatorade zero and iced tea.
Accountability - good, 51 active minutes and 10,048 steps. The last few earned marching in place while brushing my teeth. Today I'm 168.8, 30 minutes on treadmill done, 30-minute swim planned after work.
B- coffee, egg and cheese wrap
L - chicken salad on bed of lettuce w/Finn crisp crackers
d- 2 Taquitos w/let/tom/onion/Greek yogurt/avocado
S - jerkyx2
Have a great day!

2 hours of sleep after 20 hours of travel yesterday, and I have lost all ability to do things like post a picture and type in the same box. So that sums up current state.
I need to get some sleep, then tomorrow I can tell you about our trip. Why do some 3 day trips feel like a month away? This was one of them. I need to rush and get dressed and start work in few minutes. Ahh.
No menu planned.
No ability to think critically or move my neck.
This should be a good one.
Wish me luck.

I am looking for a woman to share my room with 2 queen sized bed at the conference for Friday and Saturday nights. The cost of the room on my own is very expensive for me, but very manageable to share $115. Per night) are you interested?
