What's on your Monday Menu, RNYers?

I just thought of another QOTD product - Sundown Perfect Iron! I just opened my last bottle (I bought up every bottle I could a couple of years ago on amazon and eBay once I heard it'd been discontinued. And I called the Sundown company to complain and told them LOTS of bariatric patients took their carbonyl iron!) I was so bummed - and still am. So I'll have to come with another solution in a couple of months when this bottle is gone. JB - I have the kind of iron you use on my Amazon wish list - so I can try that one...

QOTD- South Sea Island Soaps from Crabtree & Evelyn, Tiare Tahiti was my favorite but I loved them all. Thai Shrimp Salad from Applebees, Ravioli di Portobello from Olive Garden they have a new version without the smoked cheese sauce, definitely not the same. Hempz Sweet strawberry creme and brown sugar lotion none of the other scents are as good. Chevy's Restaurants they had the best flour tortillas.

I went to my Mom's yesterday and I was trying to tell her how I was feeling, wanting to retire, physical and mental issues etc. Her answer was you need to go to church. Not that I could if I wanted to but she just doesn't get me, or understand about anxiety and depression. I have stayed in this area because there is no one else, my brother is in California and has honestly never been around since he turned 18. I have wanted to move out of this area for over 30 years but felt that I couldn't because of my mother. Now I feel like life is just too short and I'm tired of feeling stuck here because of her. I guess I just need to live my life and not worry about her. I have worked full time since I was 18, and summers before I was 18. I am now 62 and that means 44 years 40+ hours a week. My Mom only worked for about 14 years, so there is no comparison. There is only me and I've always been financially independent and made a living. I have no safety net, I have no partner to help me. My Mom was incredibly lucky and spoiled by my Dad. Sorry for the rant, just don't appreciate being lectured about God.

I tried not to let it ruin my day, but it kind of did. My roommate is MIA he's mad at me for a stupid reason, so he's gone. It's fine I enjoyed a quiet weekend by myself.

I don't know if life will ever get back to normal and that scares me.

Have a great day everyone!

Sorry you had a rough day.

Thank you!

I think it's a generational thing. Our moms don't understand us, and honestly my daughter thinks I don't understand her. I do my best to be flexible and I think I go out of my way but sometimes I might say something in good conscience but for some reason she gets offended.
In short, I'm not condoning your mom, but be patient with her. I'm sure she means well.

So late in the day, but when the QOTD speaks to me I have to answer

Mulling Spice from Pampered Chef I have tried to copy it, buy other brands that were similar, but nothing that matches it

Hope everyone is well, not able to keep up here as much as I like. Raising my Dad is time consuming and frustrating!

Hectic day of shopping today so just now have time to check in. We haven't left our little rural island in over 7 weeks so needed to restock our fridge and freezer for 2 months, and pick up final supplies for re-opening our salon. Was able to find a virucidal solution and hand sanitizer today, so that was a win. We even did a drive through car wash! Living high on the hog... haha

Accountability: Mother's Day treats were lit. Up 1 lb today. Just glad that's the worst of the damage done. Back on track today even with the town temptations of fast food...

QOTD: My old long wear contacts. The news ones irritate my eyes and can't find any that fit as well as the ones they discontinued...

Meal Plan:

1. Strawberries, pecans, and cashews
2. Chicken burrito bowl (no rice)
3. Kale salad with the usual suspects
4. Leftover thai chicken curry that my bots cooked for me yesterday for mother's day (no rice)
5. Applesauce
