Good morning, everybody!
It sounds like the pool is moving faster than I expected and they are actually going to start filling it with water today. I think the conversion to sal****er also happens today. But, to be honest, it's going so fast that I have lost track.
I got to swimming this morning and only had one shower shoe. Hmmm? Anyway, it felt good to get through the whole 1520 meter workout after missing three sessions. I'm in the office today, but will probably leave early.
As far as the weekend, I have AC/DC tickets for tomorrow night (hopefully one of the boys wants to go with Marilyn in Florida), Monday I will do some version of Murph. The rest of the time will be a homebody time: gym, yard work and fishing.
pictures are from the San Diego zoo last week:
QOTD: I love a good rain. Plus it makes it easier to weed.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Chicken Parm
Dinner: meatballs
Have a great day, all!

Good Morning Jennifer and Menuer's,
It used to take forever to get caught up on the thread when I have not been around for a while, but it was easy today. Jim, Sal****er is the way to go. So much better for your skin and swimsuits last much longer. Trish glad to see your back. I am struggling with gain also. I have a plan after this long weekend and hope to get in more exercise than I have been. Kelly enjoy your relaxed weekend so glad you're getting away for some relax time next week. Mary, Hope your sister is ok and not too much damage to the car. Jennifer, I love the red and on here it kind of looks like and orangish red, so I love it.
I do have gym booked both Saturday and Sunday. It is way too cold to use the pool just yet. I actually shut it off because I don't want to spend tons of money on a gas bill to heat a pool I am not going to use. I have Galbi marinating for dinner tomorrow and I am going to make Potatoe salad and an Asian slaw for sides. I will use cauliflower in my portion of the Potatoe salad. I also took out a prime rib that we are going to marinate and have on Sunday. I am planning on doing baked potatoes for the side and my bro said he will do a vegie dish. Before the weekend is over, I want to at least walk my normal running route. I hope I get motivated enough to run the 5k on the 4th but to be honest it's not looking promising. I just need to relax and enjoy the weekend and when I get back in next week I will learn my faith in the future for my company. Hopefully once I have the meeting the anxiety will subside.
QOTD: Absolutely When I was a faithful runner, I loved running after a storm.

Good Morning Gang. We made it through another week. I was nice sleeping in until 6:30. Boy did we get a lot of rain yesterday, thankfully not much wind. We woke up to sun and blue skies. I think there might be a chance for rain later this afternoon/night. I'm getting ready to go out and do some stuff outside not sure what, but something. I have a nice of things I'm hoping to get done in the next 4 days.
QOTD: Do you like the smell of the air after a rain storm? I do. It's almost like the air is cleaned.
B: coffee and scrambled eggs
L: salad with chicken salad
D: baked fish
Have a great day and weekend everyone!!!

Good morning, everybody!
We got home pretty late on Sunday night and on Monday, Marilyn got notified by the pool contractor that he was ready to start the refinishing process. So, she flew down Tuesday night. Unfortunately, she didn't make it until about 3:30 AM on Wednesday.
She started out slow yesterday, but by the end of the day was sending me to do lists, so I think she is back on her feet.
They drained the pool yesterday, today is repairs to the lights, walls and skimmer, tomorrow is the refinishing and they will start refilling it on Saturday. We are also switching to sal****er, but I'm not sure what day that is going to happen.
It's so cold in Chicago that I had to wear a knit hat just to run a mile outside yesterday.
QOTD: Marilyn is still going to be away, so I will mostly go to the gym and tie some flies. Maybe use the grill on Monday.
Breakfast: bagel
lunch: may try to find a new place to try
dinner: meatball sub
Have a great day, all!

Good Morning Gang. Here are some pictures of the reception area the pictures loaded backwards, but we went from a tan to a red. The red is part of our company's color scheme. It actually came out pretty good. We are also getting some rug with our logo. Today is my Friday as I have tomorrow off and next Friday off. I'll have a nice long weekend with the holiday on Monday. I've already done a list of what I want to get done.
I told the guys I would make them so quiche for lunch so I will head up stairs and get started on that in a little bit.
QOTD: Anyone have any plans for the holiday weekend? I'm hoping to get my garden in or at least most of it. And do some extra yard work.
B: coffee and 2 eggs scrambled with feta and spinach
L: ham and cheese wrap
D: baby back ribs on the grill
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

Hi All!
I really do need to start coming back here regularly. My weight is up a bit, and I need to get a handle on it before it spirals out of control.
Greg is retiring at the end of May, and I've got to turn my Medicare stuff into the state's personnel office since I go on Medicare in August. With both of these situations, our health care will be changing (the payment for Greg's, who's a few years younger than me, will be coming from a different source starting in June - and it'll change again in August since Medicare will become my primary payee, which will lower our premiums, but complicate things a bit - at least on our end - but I think this will work out fine).
QOTD: I don't mind painting. I used to like doing minor electrical things (like hanging new fixtures and replacing outlets), but after sparks flew out of the wall when I was trying to switch out a bathroom fixture once a few years ago, Greg forbade me to undertake any more electrical projects, even minor ones.
here's what I had today:
B: plain skyr with homemade blackberry compote (cooked down with lime and artificial sweetener), thin slice of homemade wheat toast with about 2 t of mixed nut butter
L: protein muffin with whipped cream cheese
AS: Skinny Pop popcorn (6 cups of it - whoops)
D: thinking about a salmon fillet and broccoli. (I'm already drinking a glass of wine, which unfortunately is something I think about every day, but I'm forcing myself to just have one about 2-3x a week and not every day. I've got an addictive personality, so I need to NOT get too used to this!!)
hope everyone had a great day!!
P.S. forgot to add that I attended a cardio/strength class at my gym - but virtually (it's cold and rainy out!). Twenty minutes of low-impact cardio and 25 minutes of strength training. I do enough cardio on my own, but not strength training - so this will be a good way to get back into it, since it's pretty light. They have this class 3x a week..
