Good Tuesday Morning Gang. Today is the start of another heatwave here in the great Northeast. I'm in the scale house nice and comfortable with the A/C. We have a mid-year water wash on boiler 1 today just a routine maintenance thing it shouldn't even take 24 hours and the boiler will be back on-line. When I got out to the scale house I noticed the outbound scale guardrail was leaning in apparently overnight when we got a lime delivery the driver hit it and pulled it out of the cement.
Had another great night at the Y. Irvin was set and ready to go when I got home from work. I did a hike through the Costa Rican rainforest while he did weight machines and the stair stepper. We then hit the lap pool and finished off in the hot tub. I forgot how many muscles one uses while swimming, but I was able to do a total of 24 laps.
QOTD: Do you ever "invent" a food? I've started making what I call a breakfast salad bowl on the weekends. It consists of butterleaf lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, cottage cheese, soft boiled egg and homemade sausage. Very tasty and filling.
B: coffee and 2 soft boiled eggs
L: salad with 2 chicken salad stuffed peppers
D: grilled chicken burgers
30 minutes on the treadmill and then swimming
Have a great day!!!
My breakfast bowl and my two Hydrangeas. The pink one is finally blooming.

Good Afternoon! Happy New Week. We had a nice weekend with not too much excitement but for some reason I still wasn't ready for the new week. I am not a fan of the heat and it's been over 100 degrees so just lots of indoor time to stay cool.
QOTD: No, and I am sure it would benefit me immensely.
I took a rest day from exercise and my menu is typical for the work week and dinner for the first part of the week is BBQ pork loin and some sort of veggie. Water and vits on track for the day.
I hope everyone had a great day.

Good morning all and Happy Monday,
Weekend was good. I enjoyed life. Yesterday, we went to a BBQ at Paula's Parents' house. It was enjoyable but strange since I'm dating Paula and have established personal relationships with attendees and now I'm dating my friend's sister, his parents' daughter, and other friends that have known Paula from birth. It's a weird dynamic.
QOTD- YES. I will stop the day if I next to rest, meditate, or take 15min to lay down.
B: Yogurt, half bagel, half cup coffee.
L: BBQ with Mom and sister.
D: salad with yesterday's chicken.

I always stop to admire and enjoy beautiful flowers. Roses this time of year, lilac and peonies in spring and mums in the fall. I don't garden anymore but my neighbors do. I do have an aerogarden and have parsley, basil, thyme, and a tomato with lots of flowers on it.

Your belt will be beautiful. The dream catcher picture you posted last week is the dream catcher you made for me about five years ago. I still love it.
Jen, so happy that everything is going so well at home and the Y. Sounds like great staff there and a great place to be. Something went wrong with my plumbing on Friday and everything was backed up and I could not run any water. I had to spend two days in Holiday Inn.
Not a fun reason to be there. It is cleaned up now and I am back at home. It affected everyone in my building. It is going to cost the condo association $180,000 to have liners put in the old galvanized pipes for the building. The boyfriend of the condo president came over and watched my cat while I was in the hotel. My cat bit him. Not hard but my cat does not always like his home disturbed and lets people now when he does not want them around. It is almost like having a teenager again.

Good mornin everyone.
The weekend was ok. We had to mow yesterday and my mom was almost finished and started having cold chills. Soooo... I had to finish. I feel like **** today but at least it's done. So much pain. Ugh.
We need groceries today. We may go to Sam's but that's not set in stone. I've finally convinced my mom to eat a little better. She hasn't been horrible but it's easier to cook for two than one. We're going to do a joint meal a day.
I spent my free time this weekend finishing the units for a belt. Today I'll work on some units my boss is wanting.
QOTD: yes I do. I love taking a bit to appreciate the sky or flowers...whatever catches my attention. Like yesterday I watched a wasp fly around for 7 or 10 minutes. Just focusing on it. It relaxed me.
B: egg burrito, coffee
L: salad with baked chicken
D: roast fixed in the crock pot.
