What's on your Monday Menu?

OMG - my mother was FAMOUS for going into our rooms when we were away and pitching the clothes she hated (as well as much-loved ones that had seen better days - and now had tears or holes). It used to really make my blood boil. I get it now (at least with the torn, holey ones), but at the time - no! Although she'd still be up to her old tricks if she was living with us. I have an old ratty oatmeal-colored sweater that I'm pretty sure was my father's that I wear all the time in the winter as a coat when it's not too cold out. I LOVE the thing. She hates it. Not sure if she hates it because it's getting kind of ratty looking, or if it's because it was my father's (they were divorced). A couple of years ago she bought me an oversized sweater that looked kind of similar but was more beige than oatmeal. Not only do I not wear beige (or at least not anywhere near my face since it makes me look washed-out), but I just didn't like it as well as the old reliable. So it's been hanging in my closet since then. I think she's pretty much given up at this point.

Been there! Deny!!!!

Lol, she's in for a penny in for a pound now. She keeps saying things to me like "I don't remember throwing it away."

Perhaps she has chosen to block it out, lol?!!

I hope the sweatshirt is found safe and sound!

You must not be speaking of my child? She's not dirty but her room is always a disaster. She owns more hoodies than anyone ever should and she never actually puts her clothes away.

My answer is usually : it must be in that black hole of your closet, keep looking.

Too funny on the RBSS. Maybe DS will assume he misplaced it somewhere!

Good morning.

Yesterday I stayed still and quiet. Trying to get my back over the hump with recovery. It still is bad, but it seems like it is more concentrated in a smaller spot and I have to think that means the inflammation and such is reducing. I did basically nothing yesterday but read and watch tv. Food was pretty good though and zero alcohol calories were consumed.

Today we have the grands, and I plan on taking them on a walk to the post office. They'll just have to slow down so gimpy me can keep up. I think it will be good for my back to stretch it out. I am beyond bummed that I am not at HIIT class right now. I feel like each day I can't move is battleground lost that I fought hard for. Weight is still up.

QoTD: we had it on the whole time. It was a good game, but I had no skin in the game, didn't care who won. Mostly I read and stopped to watch the commercials. My favorite was the Bud light dancing to the hold music. I could so relate and I thought it was adorable. Finished reading Olive Kitteridge during the game. What a unique book. Started Maybe you should talk to someone. A couple of my good buddies finally helped my technology challenge self get set up with Libby and I am off to the races with reading choices!

Food is a bit iffy

B: roasted chicken and cottage cheese

L: I just pulled a single size serving of chicken, goat cheese and roasted veggies out of the freezer

D: didn't make the prime rib leftovers last night, I went with left over split pea soup from the freezer and made a ham and cheese baked loaf. So tonight...the prime rib.

Peace Everybody
