What's on your Tuesday Menu?

Morning all! Hope you endured Monday with no pain. I struggled with two stupid boring papers so much yesterday. I managed to avoid them entirely by doing a million other things, but today I can't avoid it any longer. Must focus.
I also found a completely uneaten apple pie and it looked so lonely... really not my best day.
QOTD: Between Black Friday & Cyber Monday--did you get any good deals? Christmas is going to be very light this year since I am in school and not working, so I stayed away from the sales, except that I did get one thing for my cookie biz which will help me work "smarter not harder". It's a mixer that I can make an octuple batch of dough in. I love it!
Ok, the pie is in the trash, so let's try this again.
B: Coffee & eggs
S: Babybel
L: Chicken & green beans
D: Harvest chili

God morning - That meme reminded me of Gisele and Tom, lol! I hope you are able to focus today, QJB. Very cool about your big mixer purchase!! I need the focus superpower today also. I need to complete, no start and complete a big monthly project that I literally have 2 days to finish (usually takes 5-7 full days. This is also the cause of the latest work dreams, but last night I think I had an epiphany and things should fall into place. So, yesterday - I fasted (suffered sans coffee) and went for my bloodwork. There was a 2 hour wait at both labs and I did not prepare well and did not have the time to wait. Another mess up is that I am scheduled for my UGI today and I thought it was on Dec 29th... So, I'm up earlier than usual so I can be at the lab at 6:30 when it opens for bloodwork and next door to the lab is my 8:00 UGI. Then off to work to get 12 hours of work done in 6.
QOTD - YES - boots, tops, sweaters and fuzzy fleecy things for myself
Yesterday:
b- coffee, egg-wich
l - chicken and cauli rice
d- cheese quesadilla on 25 cal tortillas
s- tomatoes, TJ's dutch caramel cookie w/tea

Today:

l (snacky)- tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, cheese stick
d- chicken and pepper fajita bowl - maybe a low carb tortilla

Have a fabulous day!

That is what I'm worried about, but more so if was there any issues afterwards? Upset stomach or ?

You shouldn't have too many issues posttest just make sure to drink plenty of water as barium can cause constipation.
