What's on your Wednesday Menu?

I am...I was super peeved yesterday and this morning but it's in the rear view mirror! Thanks!

BTW. That is not a friend. You deserve better than that.

Thanks! I have come to realize that with her. If by chance we talk it's always about her and her and her. I'm kind of glad she doesn't want to call...just had an off day :)

Any chance the boyfriend is interfering? Just a thought.

You know...it's possible. They are in a long distance "relationship" that is so murky I can't even tell what their relationship status is...I really don't want to know either! Lol

I know he doesn't care for me in particular. He is a crazy right wing nut and he knows I am most definitely not. I once told him trump was a F up and evil. He wasn't to happy about that...he is first generation and his parents were from Sicily. He uses that as an excuse to be more "American" than the liberals.

He does sound like a piece of work. If that is the issue it is a shame that your friend is influenced by him.

It is but I have seen our whole relationship with a new set of eyes. It's never been the most healthy thing for me. It is sad to say but I do not miss her drama.

Mornin' All!

It's supposed to be 50 degrees today and tomorrow, so if it's not too windy, I plan to be out on my bike for 1-2 hours each day. YAY! Otherwise I have Mah Jong this morning, and I'll be fiddling around with Zoom. I got a license - with the Webinar option - for one of my organizations so we can offer virtual programs in the spring. I've hosted several Zoom presentations for one of my other organizations, but the software itself was on another computer in the org's office, so someone else was taking care of doing whatever customizing needed to be done for Webinar, firing up the software, making sure it'd livestream to youtube if we went over 100 attendees, etc. For this org, I'll be doing all that. Luckily there are some decent tutorials on youtube for doing all of this. This should be a good experience for me..

accountability was pretty good yesterday - went over my limit by 44 calories, but at least it's an improvement. I'll aim to stay under today. I did a half hour of kickboxing yesterday which I hope helped.

QOTD: I don't really have any really close friends anymore, and that bothers me. The ones from my childhood have either died (way too many of them), or we've lost touch. Some of the not-so-close ones I just don't have anything in common with anymore - we've moved in very different directions. I had a really, really close friend from my first graduate school program whom I stayed close with for years, but we've kind of drifted apart, too. We still have contact - mostly via FB - but it's not the same. She's a retired psychology professor and started kind of driving me nuts analyzing everyone - she's always done that, but it really started to get on my nerves at some point. And the political thing was also getting old - she's one of those "Bernie bros" *****fused to vote for the eventual nominee in the last two elections because it wasn't Bernie. She was incredibly critical of both Hillary and Biden - like almost as bad as the Trump people are. In my mind the main objective was to get rid of Trump, so all this fault-finding she was doing was really counter-productive (at least in my mind). And I resented being constantly criticized for supporting the eventual nominees (esp publicly on FB - she was becoming a real pest!!). So - things have definitely cooled between the two of us.

TSS: 5y6m

B: homemade pumpkin yogurt, 1/2 an apple, coffee with half & half

MS: protein shake

L: either a piece of cheesecake-flavored yogurt pie with strawberries, or turkey slices with 1/4 C sweet potato casserole

AS: 1/2 a protein pumpkin muffin, thing of Greek yogurt

D: Thai-style chicken/broccoli/carrot curry (no rice)

have a great day, everyone!

I can't stand the Bernie Bros! They have these castles in the cloud while we need to take care of the basic first. If we are successful then we can reach for those castles. You can't fight the right with these outlandish goals when they are not even meeting you in the middle.

I agree with you 100%!!
