Have a great one!

Belated happy birthday to you!

Thank you!!

Stayed on track though your Birthday. You are amazing. Hope you had a good day.

Thank you!!

A sweet chaffle for your only birthday treat is quite an accomplishment! I was only that well behaved on my first post-op birthday, but since then I have had the cake. You are an inspiration :)

Full disclosure: there was whipped cream and a few dark chocolate chips atop said chaffle.

Morning JB -- you are right, this feels like the "real" start to the new year for me! Back to work today and schedules back to normal and I'm kind of happy about that.

QOTD - I watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver religiously and I usually record the Daily Show and watch it the next morning.

I still have this stupid cough but I'm hoping it's on it's last legs -- I was very chill yesterday and even took a nap. Today I have an electrician coming to install my pendant lights and ceiling fans and then I think I am done with "getting settled"...just under the 1 year wire, lol. I bought new lamps over the weekend and ended up rearranging the sunroom and the living room entirely. I like it better now I think.

Menu today is

Coffee and half and half X 3 and then tea and water

b - 2.5 oz turkey breast and slice cheddar cheese (I still have turkey breast but put the rest of it into the freezer in 2.5 oz portions)

L - Carbmaster Cin Raisin Cottage Cheese

D - 1 blueberry sausage patty, 1 egg, .5 oz cheese

S - light and fit greek

Have a fantastic Monday and start to the week everyone!

I hope you continue to rest and feel better.

Oh right--- I forgot about Last Week Tonight. LOVE HIM. We need him right now--I wish he would pop back on for a quick show so I can process all of this with his humor!
