It's May 1 -- What's on your menu?

Mornin' All!

I have a group coffee meet-up this morning, followed immediately by my book discussion group. Vet appt this afternoon. It's still cold here with a chance of rain, so I'll probably go to the gym to exercise. I haven't done youtube walking/cardio dancing videos in awhile, but I'm still burnt out on them (they're my main winter exercise) - so the gym it is.

QOTD: warm weather! This has been the coldest spring I can remember having in a L-O-N-G time!

B: protein shake. I'm going to add some avocado so that I hopefully get through until lunch (may not be hard anyway since I have meetings all morning..)

L: oatmeal topped with L&F creme brulee yogurt and tahini

AS: raw vegetables with dip, pita crackers with leftover "Indian chickpea dip" that I made for that cookbook group on Saturday

D: cheesecake-flavored yogurt pie with cranberry/cherry compote

have a great day, everyone!

You definitely seem to have had a cold spring!

Good morning, everybody!

Safe travels QJB and Grim.

I'm back in Chicago. Pick up went pretty smoothly. My son was largely packed and the school was flexible about using permitted parking. However they cart rental was running behind, so we had to postpone his checkout time from 2:00 until about 4:00. We never made up that 2 hours, I was just too tired.

We drove from Birmingham to Louisville on Friday night (6 hours, plus 1 hour time change, plus 1 hour dinner) and then from Louisville to Chicago on Saturday morning (5 and 1/2 hours) . Although my son used the kitchen as a two day staging area, the vast majority of his stuff is now put away.

Yesterday I returned the rental car, worked out and tried to do some things to get ready for the week.

QOTD: January through mid-April is our hibernation season and the rest of the year is social season. All the things are happening in May: our trip to Bermuda, Dead & Company, Blink-182, out of town visitors, all three kids coming home at various times.

Breakfast: Egg sandwich

Lunch: Roast Beef

Dinner: Chili

have a great day, all!

Glad you made it home safely.

Good to hear your baby bird has returned to the nest and you had a safe drive back.

Sounds like a fun May.

You must be so happy to have 1/3 kid home.

I am but will be relieved when Marilyn returns home to keep us on course.

Good Morning! I agree, new month on a Monday is a good thing! Glad the systems at work went decently. I had a nice chill weekend but still feel like I could use another day of rest but off to work I go!

QOTD: Em and I have another concert at the end of the month. We are seeing The Wrecks again, which is one of her favs. It's in San Francisco again so that'll be fun.
