What's on your Tuesday Menu?

QOTD- No plans, no one here that I know so I'll probably work. My Mom though has a pretty full schedule for the holidays. Even when I was there we didn't do much just order some dinner and exchange gifts.

I'm really struggling here. I keep feeling wave after wave of homesickness. Doubting my choices and feeling like maybe I'm just not a happy person. I had a counseling session yesterday and I was told to get out and do some of the things I have always wanted to. So I'm going to try to get out.

Saturday I went on my favorite beach path, and I had forgotten how many tourists there are for the holidays. They were just flat out rude a group of about 10 that was running in a pack and didn't care if the forced others off of the path. I called them ******** and kept going, but I was not dealing well with it and decided that before I forcefully shoulder someone off of the path I'd better go home so only did about 2 miles.

I did fill up my car and try to make an eye appointment. It turns out I have to call in. I also found the fabric I've been looking for but couldn't face getting my sewing room into shape so I could actually sew. It's still an obstacle course in there. But I'll work on it this week.

My pouch has not been happy lately, I've been having a lot of nausea and no food sounds good. So not making the best choices.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning ~ What cute cookies JB, you are so talented!! I had my booster on Saturday and I was fine on Sunday, but yesterday I was achy to the bone so I stayed home. I was in the recliner all day eating carbs (ugh) and watching TV. I'm all caught up on Dexter and Yellowjackets, watched the Netflix movie Unforgivable (wow that was good) then started season 2 of the Witcher and promptly fell asleep. I feel better today though. I have a lot of work to catch up on as this was already a short week, made shorter now.

QOTD - I'm on the fence about this - we have a small gathering planned for pie on Christmas day. Possibly 12 max. All family all vaxxed/boosted, except my 3 year old great niece. I would really love to go but haven't decided yet. I'm so thankful my parents both passed pre-covid. I just can't imagine... Here's to all of you taking care of your parents through all of this - bless you.

As much as I am looking forward to Christmas, I can't wait for the new year - a fresh start, a clean slate, a new plan.

b-coffee, egg bites

l-chicken bites, 15 cal tortillas, hot sauce

d philly cheese leftovers

s- protein bar, cheese, almonds

Unforgivable had SO many messages in it for me. Not to mention the amazing work of Sandra Bullock. It was so good, so heart wrenching and finally, a bit shocking. I'm very glad I watched it, but it is not a "feel good" movie that leaves you in high spirits. Humans -- so broken.

I can't stop thinking about it, just wow, all of the emotions. Definitely not a fluff movie. Broken humans for sure.

QJB -

just saw these pics on FB - Hungarian ginger cookies. The frosting designs are incredible!!

Those are gorgeous

Damn!

Holy crap! Those are amazing!

Hey just a quick jump on. Life has got away from me. We buried my MIL today which is a blessing. She was very much slipping mentally and never would have made it in a care facility. She was too much of a hard head and never would have been able to deal with any structure. A very good friend was struck by a car the same night (last Thursday) that my MIL passed away and by God's will is getting progressively better despite his age and the amount of damage his body sustained. We just can't wait till the day we can see him but with Covid only immediate family is allowed visitation. I also still have that new system at work I am trying to learn. I have to know it all by Monday because that will be go time. (Wish me luck). I will check in on an as can basis but not as much as I'd like. Give me a couple weeks and I'll be back to daily posting. I miss all of you and If I don't get back have a wonderful Holiday. I am not going to win Christmas weight wise this year. I hope to get back to diet and exercise soon. For now, I Weighed in at 142.2 This morning and have had no Exercise since December 11th. Give me the strength and will to treadmill soon. I do have an exercise class planned for Christmas eve Morning.

I have to head out but glad to have caught you up.

Brightest Blessing all,

Love Yinz,

Chrissy

I was wondering if she had passed when we didn't see you. My sympathy to you, your hubby and extended family.

hang in there and do what you can and give yourself grace on the rest!
