Good morning, everybody!
Great meme, Jennifer. I had an 8:30 call this morning, so I drove straight from swimming into the office. I?m so ready for the weekend.
Marilyn has tennis out in Peoria on Saturday, so I?m on my own tomorrow. I will go to CrossFit in the morning and load up on errands in the afternoon. We are having a dinner party on Sunday night, so I?m sure she will need shopping done.
We purchased an in-home chef dinner party at a charity gala last fall and the plan was to have our event on Saturday night. It got postponed until Sunday because of the Peoria tennis and then, unfortunately, the chef is having a family health situation and won?t be able to come until June, at the earliest. So Marilyn is going to cook with a pot luck element from the tennis ladies.
Pictures are the flies that we tied and my black eye.

For 10 million dollars, I would live on a cruise ship for the rest of my life as long as I was allowed to bring my cat. Life seems pretty boring today. Most of my friends are staying inside and out the cold, ice, and snow.
Jen, it is so frustrating when safety is ignored and people do not take pride in their work. One year we had a executive who took the attitude that God put the snow there and God can take it away. They stopped cleaning the parking lots except for very minimum maintenance and we had some accidents with cars and with people falling.
I was a lot younger then and did not get hurt but knew people who did. One morning I came to work early and slipped on a patch of oil on the floor in the factory. They did not come to clean it up until three other people fell at the same place. Very frustrating and hard to accept when you are a person who takes pride in your work.

Good Morning Jen and Menuers,
I am glad this week is almost over. I more week than we can implement the new system here at work. I am so glad because our current system keeps shutting down and the most inconvenient times. I had 11 orders I could not process yesterday. I have cycle and crazy 8 scheduled for tomorrow morning. I did not schedule cycle for Sunday yet. There is always a wait list, so I'll wait and sign up tomorrow and pray I get in. I'll do mom duty, and she has bowling Saturday. I also am going to a Night at the races fund raiser on Saturday night and making Venison Ravioli for Rons B-day party. I started them last week, but my sheeter took a dumb. I got a new sheeter, and it finally showed up yesterday.
QOTD: I never been on a cruise and never intend to go on one. I may go in retirement of that is what my gang has planned but for now it's a hard no.
Accountability: Way to many nuts and Fitzels
Accountability: Whiskey instead of dinner. Hell, it happens.

Good mornin all.
not a lot going on today. We might go to the thrift store. We might also check out the other Sam's in town to see if they have the veggie bowls I like that they carry. I got all of 2 hours of sleep last night. Tossed and turned alllll night.
one of the supplies I got yesterday was the wrong size. Hopefully my boss can get it figured out without any trouble. The guy is a genius with jump ring treatments but is also a bit out there.
QOTD: big no. No way, no how. I don't like people a a whole enough. Well enough to be around them all the time. I don't have any desire to even go on one let alone live on one,
B: egg and veggie wrap, coffee
L: hopefully a veggie bowl
D: chicken and a veggie.
the kitty is my brothers cat!
Happy Friday!!! Yesterday turned out to be a pain in the ass day at work. I still can't believe the plant manager lets some of guys get away with the **** they do. I was so tempted to just leave yesterday. Someone keeps messing up the ash trailers which in turn messes up my reports. I took an hour and walked around the plant looking at the trailers to see which ones were properly numbered and which ones weren't.
When I got back in the plant I let the PM know of all the slip hazards I found. Whoever did or should I say didn't do any sanding/salting left high traffic area covered with ice. He called the SS over the radio to tell him what I found and to get people out there to fix the areas and of course some of guys came through the office to give me **** because they had to go outside and actually work. I was so aggravated that I told them to **** off and if they did their job right the first time they wouldn't be going back out in the cold.
QOTD: If you were given 10 Million dollars with the stipulation that you had to live on a cruise ship for the rest of your life and only be allowed two weeks a year on land would you do it? As much as I love boating I wouldn't do it. There isn't enough money in the world for me to have to deal with people on a cruise every day. I like my animals and my gardening, people not so much.
B: coffee and eggs with ham
L: ham and cheese wraps
D: baked haddock
30 minutes on the treadmill

Have you considered opening a same as cash credit card and putting your current credit card balances on that. I have seen some with Tmonths of interest free payments. You might be able to get your monthly expenses down with no interest terms.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Hey gang. We're still in our cold snap, but it's supposed to warm up a little over the weekend. I'm ready. It will be nice to have the snow off the solar panels too.
Food is on track. We ate lunch out for the first time in a while. JB had a couple of doctor's appointments, and we stopped on the way home.
Nothing else really going on here. I hope you are all well.
QOTD: diet soda. Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke. I have no allegiance -- whatever is on sale.

QOTD- Water, but I think I'm dehydrated.
The blood tests at the Dr were all normal, so no idea why I have no appetite and am so exhausted. The Dr is supposed to review them probably today. I know I am depressed but it is situational depression. I hate my job and want to retire but I can't afford to. I am working on it though. I'm trying to attack my credit card bills to eliminate them, but it's probably going to take me about 20 months.
It's cold here but the sun has been shining so that is a plus. It was 22 when I got up, it's 31.5 now but the clouds are coming in.
I did order sushi last night, so I ate more than I have in a while. I didn't weigh myself this morning, but I know I'm down about 16.5lbs since November. Too bad it isn't always this easy to lose weight. When I gained I had to buy new jeans and now they are baggy, so I may be able to fit in my old ones. I've been afraid to try, thinking that I may be deluding myself, but I need to give it a try.
I need to get back to work. I've been working on a pain of a job, and it's been a real struggle. I could have figured it out in the old system in about 5 minutes, but it took me all day yesterday. Now I need to finish drawing it up and get it out of my hands.
Have a great day everyone!
