Whats on your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Good morning, everybody!

It's raining buckets here in Chicago. I kind of like rainy days though. Sometimes, I forget that my kids are still in school , but when I walked downstairs, there was a brand new clay vase in the kitchen. My older son has only a few classes, since he is a senior, but ceramics is one of them. I'm not sure what my younger is doing school wise. Even under normal cir****tances school comes easy for hime but now it seems like he has very little work.

We are signing the boys up for online classes this summer. My older is going to take High School AP calculus. He is taking it not for credit, just to get him a head start on the Calculus class that he takes college. He is going to study engineering and hopefully having the class over the summer will ease his transition. My younger is going to take some sort of Social Studies class.

QOTD: Crossfit, the Palm and a sporting event or concert.

Breakfast: Turkey meatballs and cottage cheese

Snack: Protein bar

Lunch: Chili

Snack: nuts

Dinner: Maybe more chili or Hello Fresh

Have a great day, all!

I am always surprised how schools and curriculums are different from state to state. Our son is not even going the science route in college and he took AP calc ab as a jr, and then AP calc bc as a sr.

Hey Jim, I hope your work project is coming to a close smoothly this week.

Thanks, Kelly. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Good morning menu crew.

boy am I hurting. I had to sit in my office chair(with a special cushion) for my telehealth appointment with my counselor. Soooo painful today. Ugh.

either was I'm up and at em as much as possible. I'm running on fogginess today. Space cadet reporting! Lol. I feel more confident today about food. I had my mom hide the almond butter. It's a dangerous thing for me.

qotd:hmmm thrift stores!

b:PP shake and small bag of nut thins

l:PP shake with strawberries

d:???

s: not sure on this either.

QOTD- 1. See Nicole to get my nails done. 2. See Terri my hairdresser and get rid of my skunk stripe. 3. Go to the gym for a swim. 4. Go to the movies. 5. Go out to eat, doesn't matter where as long as it's out....

I actually dreamed about swimming the other night. I was in this huge pool and there was only one other person. I was in a groove and swimming effortlessly and so happy. The pool is one of the places where I get out of my own head. It is such great exercise and one of my happiest places. It's funny that you need a pandemic to remind you of what makes you happy.

OK we have 2 days left and still no new email address, I guess I don't need email....

My withdrawal symptoms were much better yesterday. I got my lawn mowed and some leaves picked up and it tired me out. Makes me realize how little I've been doing during this mess. Today should be even better and I'm still going to try to walk.

Starting Friday I have to start cleaning my horses stall daily. Under normal traffic it's about a 30 minute drive each way, I'm hoping with the reduced traffic it will be better. At least I'll get a little more exercise into my day, and some horse therapy. It's calming just to be around them.

Have a great day everyone! Hope you feel better JB.

Good morning all! Chaos reigned at our house with a busted landscape line last night and flooding of the patio and street. Man, does water add up fast! But we got it shut down and they are coming to repair it today. Had myself a small glass of wine after that!

QOTD: Meeting up with my friends for any sort of activity! Miss the heck out of them. And then Target and Trader Joe's.

Menu:

B: protein powder and cottage cheese

L: spaghetti squash casserole (again)

D: trying a new Keto Pork chop smothered with onion gravy recipe, and broccoli mash.

Peace!

OMG, I would have had a drink after that too!

Hi everyone! Work has been bananas so I have been lurking later in the day but no time to post. Thought I would check in because y'all make me smile and I love keeping up with you!

I got an unexpected surprise - I won a Marketing award a couple of weeks ago, which in itself was awesome, but then yesterday someone used our internal Appreciate system to give me a $500 award! I often get and give smaller rewards like $50 or $100 and I put them towards my Amazon account, but I kind of feel like I will be bitter if I spend this money on air filters and batteries, so I was thinking to put it towards something for ME. But of course, #quarantinelife, so it's not like I can use it for Massage Envy or Marshalls...nothing is open...so perhaps amazon will get more of my business...

QOTD: I miss Marshalls. I miss just running errands and poking around Marshalls or Ross. I also miss this amazing seafood restaurant in downtown DC. My friend and I agreed that is bucket list, and once it opens, we are going!

B: mashed avocado, leftover rotisserie chicken (no raw chicken for sale at Costco yesterday either :( ), 1 oz cheddar cheese, pickled jalapeños and pickled red onion

L: Perhaps a low carb wrap with mayo and leftover chicken

D: Israeli couscous with chicken breast spiced with harissa, roasted chickpeas, avocado crema

E: It will be 75 today so we are going on an hour long bike ride!

Have a great day everyone! I love the idea of strolling through Cairo and visiting places around the world! So cool!

Yay for the wins!!! Superstar!!!
