Ahh halfway through another week all. Still so far so good with the second outage. My hot cherry pepper seeds have finally started to sprout. Those suckers always take forever unlike the other peppers. I also have some tomato seeds that have sprouted and the wisteria are almost 4 inches tall with two sets of leaves. I will be planting some squash and cucumber seeds tonight and weather permitting potentially planting some kale and Swiss chard seeds outside. Those are some plants that do best in cooler temperatures.
QOTD: What was a simple food didn't make you sick after having WLS and you still eat today? Either deli ham or deli turkey sliced thin wrapped around a slice of cheese or cheese stick. A couple of months after surgery when I was pretty much cleared for more solid foods I had tried some thin sliced deli ham wrapped around a slice of Swiss cheese. I felt like I was eating the best thing in the world and even today I still eat the ham and cheese quite a bit.

Good morning all and Happy Tuesday,
I already have had four meetings and one telehealth this morning. The rest of the day is looking chaotic. It's a good thing I'm an agent of chaos...
Where the fools at?
QOTD- I would love to be my dog, Mishegas. He gets spoiled rotten, gets to sleep all day, and so much more.
Accountability- 1 1/2 pieces of lous deep dish.
B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, a few blueberries, Bagel chip with chive cream cheese, tomato, and lox.
L: ??? Medical treatment this afternoon prevents me from eating from noon - 3pm. I'm not in much of a mood to eat afterwards, though.
D: Leftover pizza. I'm thinking of turning it into an omelet.

Chrissy that is a wonderful story.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers.
Getting to work was challenging this morning. The highway was jam packed to the point where I didn't get on and detoured around. I only had to get past one exit, so it wasn't bad, but I was about 1/2-hour latter than usual. Today I just need to take mom bowling. It is winding down she only has 4 more in this league and 1 more for her Saturday league. This can open up me getting to the gym more often. Hopefully I will follow through with it. I have had some aches and pains the last few days hopefully those will go away soon. I saw that Jim couldn't wait to eat his taco's today and dove into them yesterday. He now has me craving a fish taco. I'll save them for Friday during lent.
QOTD: My dad had a Black Lab named Ceaser that I brought home for him. My dad never wanted a dog, but he was diagnosed with Renal cellular Carcinoma, and he was kind of laying around and not doing much. My mom, brothers, and me all had to work so there was 10 hours a day that he would be alone and mentally it was taking a toll on him. So, I found a black lab that was pure bread that no one wanted, and I only paid $50 for him. This dog was so intelligent and amazing. They become fast friends and my dad trained him. He would open the sliding glass door and go get the paper and the mail when he would hear the vehicles roll up. They would wait and give him the delivery and he would bring it into the house. He also used to go get the beer cans that fell or blew off the deck. He wouldn't bring them back he would take them to the front porch and put in the recycle bin. My dad went from laying on the floor to finding a dog park and meeting all kinds of new friends and walking the dog 3 miles a day. I can tell Ceaser stories all day long. He was treated like a king for being such a good boy. He was taken on beach vacations, I saw my dad give him a steak and lobster one time. He lived a great life. So many said if they could be reincarnated, they would come back as Ceaser.

Good Tuesday Morning Gang. Our second outage on boiler 2 started Sunday night and so far so good. Nothing too much planned for today expect for typical month end stuff and quarter end, but I did get a jump on it yesterday. We'll see what the day brings.
Last night we had some crazy thunderstorms roll in that woke me up around 1am. I thought a train was going by it was so loud. It's supposed to be 50 partly sunny and a bit windy hopefully it dries things up so I can move some things around outside later when I get home.
QOTD: Which pet's life would you want to live if you had to trade places? With all the critters I've owned in my life I would have to choose Meisha. She is the most spoiled rotten dog in the world. She gets her daily belly scratches, endless treats, car rides, couch snuggles, sleeps in the bed, and the list goes on. Now most of this comes from Irvin. I'm just the person who feeds her and takes her for training/potty walks. LOL
B: coffee and I'll skip eating as I'm not that hungry
L: salad with chopped grilled chicken
D: chicken loaf and asparagus

Good morning, everybody!
We are closed. Everything has gone pretty smoothly. We got C45 and C46 on our Southwest seat assignments and we thought it would be a nightmare. But since it was Spring Break, all of the kids took middle seat between their parents. Actually got an emergency exit window seat.
Lunch with Marilyn's parents when we landed, house walkthrough and a boat ride and dinner with our agent and his wife last night. Closing was this morning and took about 75 minutes.
Hoping to swim after lunch and fish before I head back to Chicago tomorrow night.
QOTD: I guess under. Every now and then I will see a complete roll resting on top of the dispenser and know that the boys have been there.
Breakfast: Bacon and eggs
Lunch: Publix sub
Dinner: Fish tacos
Have a great day, all!

Good morning all and Happy Monday,
I had a lazy weekend, which is so abnormal for me but needed. On Friday, we went to see Bob Trevino Likes It and enjoyed al fresco dining. I made breakfast in the morn and then we lied around all day. Yesterday, I shirked a couple commitments and spent the day doing housework and some spring cleaning.
QOTD- Over. I used to be an under but changed a decade ago. I read that it's more sanitary to put the toilet paper over the roll. The reasoning is where other people place their hands when grabbing TP. They are more likely to touch other parts of the roll with the under.
Steps: 2,577
Accountability: movie theater popcorn with butter. I ate half of a small sized popcorn.
B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, 1/2 bagel and lox. Coffee.
L: Salad with chicken. Grapes, almonds, balsamic vinaigrette.
D: Slice of Bonci sausage, mushroom, and blueberry pizza. Roasted Green beans.
I'm a fool to do your dirty work; oh no.... I'm a fool to do your dirty work; oh yeah......
I used the rest of my roast to make a steak sandwich. I stopped at Portillos and bought a piece of gravy bread to act as the steak's delivery vehicle. The gravy bread came like this so I made a little of a quick beef stock gravy to cover the rest of the roll. This was so good.
