What's on your Tuesday Menu?

I have a couple that have horizontal pleats and a metal nose band, they don?t touch my lips at all. I have been using Kaja mood balm (tinted color changing lip balm), not as dramatic as lipstick but makes me feel ?done? behind the mask and doesn?t get it all messy inside!

I love the Hotel California album and have that on a playlist for the car.

G'morning everybody!

That taco meme is hilarious! I like tacos but I'm not in love with them the way the rest of the world is. DH & DS literally get up on Tuesdays and start chanting Taco Tues. I use a soybean meatless meat from TJ for DS that is actually good.

DS's dorm on campus was assigned, so I guess it's a go for now. Lisa, if you read this we are coming down on 8/20 for move in date. Parents are complaining that the hotels around campus are closed. Do you have any suggestion or know of any places? I'm gonna look into Airbnbs but not sure about the area. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Also, once we get closer and know more details, if you are available would love to meet.

QOTD: Mamma Mia! ABBA was a big deal in Europe when I grew up. I saw the musical when it came to San Francisco and fell in love with it. The movies not so much but still cute. I have it on my shuffle and it's a feel good kinda sound track for me. Puts me in a good mood right away.

Accountability: back on track

My meals yesterday:

B: Costco egg bite (my last one) + coffee

L: TJ stir fry cauliflower rice + scrambled eggs (my version of Chinese fried rice)

S: Banana nut bread protein mug cake (JB's yogurt protein suggestion yesterday reminded me of my protein mug cakes - very satisfactory for a mid afternoon sweet tooth)

D: skipped

E: 6.2 miles wog

Have a great Tuesday, everybody.

Good morning! We just had a good set back yesterday, with the city closing things back down. But I will definitely see what's going on. Did you guys prefer to stay near the college or did you hope to stay near the beach or downtown? There are several hotels in "Hotel Circle" about 4 miles from the campus. I'll poke around and see if they are taking reservations. My own reservations for a night at the downtown harbor in June got cancelled, but I was told the hotel was opening back up July 1.

Let's keep in contact and see if we can't make things happen. I don't know how to send a private message on this thing, but if you do, hit me up and I'll send you my text number! I've been keeping a close watch on the campus sign, and it still says essential personnel only on the campus.

Yeah, you can book the hotel on line but when you call the actual place they are closed. We were even told maybe they'll open on Aug 1st but that means we have to have a plan B if they are not open. We'd like a place as close as possible to campus. I'll send you a friend request through OH and then we can exchange phone numbers. Thanks!

Good morning!

It's been an interesting day. I found out my EGD was scheduled for the 22nd...the day after my back surgery. So I'm trying to change that up to an earlier date or a few weeks after. Ugh.

my weight is slowly going down of which I am glad. My food hasn't been "great" but it's been getting better each day.

qotd:go****'s like picking my favorite child! Right now it's Ire by Parkway Drive. All hope is gone by Slipknot is one of my all time favorites....I also love Architects. Can't pick a favorite!

b:oatmeal, flaxseed and half a banana

s:veggie muffin

l:oatmeal again not sure what I'll put in it...maybe some walnuts

s:???

d:???

Just to update this crap day.

i found out a friend I made through chainmaille died by suicide in June. I wasn't super close to him but it's really upset me. I'm angry that he gave up and a little scared for my own mental health. I just feel conflicted.

music has saved me today.

Melody, things will improve and your family and friends need you as much as you need them. I think you have a therapist don't you? Maybe get some help to talk through this?

Thank you

I do see one and will be having an appointment tomorrow morning and this will be discussed. Thank you again!

Good - we care about you! So sorry about your friend.
