What's on your Tuesday Menu?

It won't work in the virtual world, but I would be walking down a hall at work, see someone who owed me an update and see them cringe at having to run into me. Then I would smile and pass them by and they would think they dodged the bullet. Then I would turn around and say, "Oh by the way, Friday is the deadline for your report on X"

Lol, we're a dispersed leadership team so it wouldn't have worked even pre Covid! I think the last time everyone was in a single building was 1996. I just don't get people being so neglectful of their jobs.

I retired in 2010 and we still had a lot of people in buildings with managers. Within two years after that, almost everyone was working from home offices.

You are too good of a leader for that.

How aggravating, I hope you get more cooperation!

Good morning all! Love the pictures so far JB! So cool and beautiful! For some reason I kept waking up all hours of the night last night. It wasn't because I wasn't sleepy because I was. I think it was just because I knew I had to be up at a certain time for work. On the weekends when I don't have to get up at a certain time I sleep through the night no problem. So when I woke up for like the fifth time this morning, three minutes before my alarm went off, I finally just got up. Accountability was good yesterday. Hoping the trend continues.

QOTD: I normally just listen to music through my phone or my tv. I don't listen too often, but when I do that's how I normally do it.

B: coffee w/Splenda & sf creamer x 2

B2: protein shake (premier shake mixed with a frozen banana)

L: 2 oz low sodium turkey breast and a hard boiled egg

D: 4 oz chicken breast over salad

S: L&F Greek yogurt and fruit

If I have to be up earlier than usual, I have sometimes set three different alarms and then lay there all night and can't get to sleep. I tell myself that just laying there doing nothing is almost as beneficial as sleep and I am fine the next day.

I tend to do that too. If I have to be up at a certain time I get up a few times thinking...it must be that time...I look at the clock and it's 3 am.

The jellyfish is amazing. Thanks for sharing these pictures.

I was thinking lately about music. I think I gave it up as part of the pandemic. I no longer turn on any kind of music in the house. This time of year I enjoy having windows and doors open and hearing the everyday sounds of birds singing and kids playing.

I pay for Sirius radio in my car but turn it on, go through a few stations for a minute of two and then turn it off again. There are no long car trips now and most of the time I am only in the car for ten minutes or so at a time. I have gotten used to driving with no music on.

I also quit reading, which bothers me a bit. I used to finish a book every week or so. Usually on Kindle. I have a book sitting in the living room that I was eager to read last month and have only finished the first chapter.

As I think about it, it is the election and all the conflict and turmoil that has taken away a lot of enjoyment in life. Maybe I just want to shut out everything and keep peaceful silence in my house.

I do thing everything that is going on does impact ability to focus; I'm back in a reading groove now but for about 6 weeks, I couldn't finish ANYTHING.
