What's on your menu today (Monday) RNYers?

Praying for some relief for you Karen. Take it easy today.

Thank you SO much, Karen! I definitely believe in the power of prayer so I greatly appreciate this!

I hope the dr can help you Karen. I hope you feel better quick!

Thank you, Chris!

Happy Labor Day everyone!

B: Tea with a splash of Fairlife milk, Premier protein shake. Vitamins

L: Maybe roast chicken, but I need to help my mom with her printer and see Dad in the nursing home (he's on hospice, not good). Stressed out to the max.

S: Quest bar

D: Smoked salmon, veggie.

Throughout the day: tea, coffee, water, sugar free Jello.

been where you are with my dad, too. You're right - it's horribly stressful. My heart goes out to you

So sorry! I have been there with a few family members as well. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Made pumpkin yogurt this morning. Not as good as it usually is. I can't remember how I made it last year, but I remember it being really great. Hmmm. Oh well...hopefully I'll figure it out again by the end of the fall!!

Not much on the agenda today. I'm guessing we'll go out for coffee in a bit and take the newspaper along. Yoga later on this afternoon. We were talking about grilling out again, but it looks like it might rain - so it may be a good day for staying in and straightening up the house (boo!)

QOTD: I usually have several books going at once. Right now the lineup is "Hillbilly Elegy" (Vance), "Overdressed" (Cline), and "White Working Class" (Williams) (yes - I'm mostly a nonfiction reader). The one I've been working on most recently (as in the last couple of nights) is "White Working Class". Overall I've liked the book (I love reading about class differences in lifestyle, preferences, etc - and in why people tend to vote the way they do), but at times the author comes across as pretty elitist. Also, at the beginning of the book, she conflates working class with middle class, which I don't see at all (although I realize "class" in the US can be pretty ill-defined and vague). My husband and I have graduate degrees and make decent (although certainly not high, by any stretch) salaries. I would not consider myself working class. I feel I'm solidly middle class (although then again, she seems to see the two as equivalent, mostly - maybe it's part of her upper-class upbringing? Not sure). Anyway, overall, it's been an interesting read. Just a bit off-putting in parts when her attitude shines through - and I also think she paints people with way too broad a brush. But again, overall, it's pretty interesting and explains a lot to boot.

2 years 3 months out:

B: homemade Greek yogurt, raspberries & blueberries

S: coffee with half & half, SF pumpkin vanilla protein shake

L: either Caprese salad or egg salad (if the latter, with a FlatOut FoldIt)

D: sirloin steak with rosemary/mushroom/brandy sauce, coleslaw made with sesame-miso vinaigrette

probably a peach or two and another yogurt sometime later..

ex: yoga

Morning!

its a holiday in Canada too, and we're on our way back to Ottawa. Hopefully take in a ball game this afternoon.

had a chance to head into old Quebec yesterday which was great. Here's a couple of pics!

qotd: I used to be an avid reader, but I'm not sure what happened to my attention span. One of my winter goals is work on that, so I'll keep this thread in mind! I read a ton of news and magazines though.

accountability: fine, but I'm really looking fortto getting home and cooking some meat! Haha

menu:

B: leftover salmon

L/D : tbd in where the day goes.

I just looked it up - I guess this is one holiday Canada and US share!
