What's on your Monday Menu?

Season 3 just came out!

oh great! I wonder what happened with my favorite couple - the dentist and the doctor. I think they were featured in the last episode of season 2. I hope they ended up together - although I remember they lived thousands of miles apart!

Girl, you've got this!

Good Morning gang. JB already wrote all the stuff that I would have. It was just a really low key weekend. I did get some yard work done, and put down some ant killer around the flower bed. I'll do some weeding today, which I hate. I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't at ground level. I dislike ground level.

QOTD: Until I met JB's friend with the Memorial Day Birthday, I never really had any particular plan. Just a 3-day weekend, marking the start of summer.

Good Monday mornin folks.

The talk with my mom didn't go over well. She just kept saying she wants them out of here...which I get but if we keep doing things for them they'll never learn. I got yelled at of course. I get the brunt of the hostility instead of those that need to have it and should have it. Shrug.

Today we're going over there to...clean. Yay. Can't contain my excitement. Honestly I have a deep resentment over this. I wish I wasn't such a spineless pushover.

Hoping to hear about the colonoscopy today.

QOTD: my mom puts flowers and flags out on our family's graves. Definitely not my thing but it gives her comfort. might have a big meal sometimes.

food is so far just a pancake on a stick thing. No clue on other meals.

It may just be my experience, but help or don't help, people seldom learn what you want them to.

Maybe just think of it as you aren't helping them, you're helping your mom. Because she's going to do it anyway.

Sorry things are awful right now. It'll get better.

Ugs. Sorry about the talk. I was hoping she would hear you and put her foot down on them.

You are axsfe outlet for your mommanger and frustration. You are her punching bag.

I hope you can address that in counseling, and hopefully find good ways to address the issue with your mom. What she is doing it's not OK. Never ok. Hugs.

Mornin' All!

I did a lot of work on my organization's server on Saturday, and did basically nothing yesterday, which isn't good because we need to de-commission that server on or before May 23 (so we won't get charged their outrageous annual fee again). So I'd better get to it big time this week - time is of the essence!

I can't believe I did this, since I'm already taking two classes this summer, but another one that's being offered in the intersession (starts next week and goes for three weeks - until the main session starts) caught my eye. It's in the poli sci dept - "Law and Justice in Film". Well, as you know, I'm a film buff, and I also happen to love film, books, and podcasts that deal with criminal investigations and litigation - so I just HAD to submit a "request to enroll" form for that one. So between the three classes and my upcoming trip, this summer will be pretty busy!

vet appt today at 8:50 (soon!), and I need to get a bike ride in today - but other than that, I'll be working on that server.

QOTD: I don't think we've ever done anything special for Memorial Day weekend - nothing planned for this year, either.

B: plain skyr with cranberry/cherry compote, coffee with half & half

MS/L: protein shake

L/AS: ? probably a protein muffin or L&F creme brulee with tahini

D: DH has leftovers from his day with him mom yesterday, so I may just have a piece of cheesecake-flavored yogurt pie (weird dinner, I know...)

have a great day, everyone!

I love that you saw something you like and are going for it. I'll be really interested to hear all about the Law and Justice in Film class, if you get in. I'm pondering whether to sign up for a class this summer. It's about redlining in Chicago. I've always been interested in sunset towns and redlining. I find it fascinating how little removed we are from these practices. They still exist but it does not appear to be as organized.
