What's on your Tuesday Menu?
on 8/8/23 3:00 am
Morning all! We're back from a fun trip. The conference was great and we both learned a lot. I was supposed to skip at least half of it to do school work but it was too interesting, so I went to all of it. Now I have a ton to do today, but that's ok. I can power through :)
QOTD: Pick one person (living or dead) who is the only person you will speak to or spend time with for the rest of your life. Grim is my pick but I swear it's not a trap--he can pick someone else and I wouldn't be mad ;)
Accountability: Boo. Terrible choices all weekend. I even got punished with a terrible bout of RH after eating a muffin for breakfast yesterday. I can't even fathom how much sugar was in that muffin, but after eating about half I thought I was going to pass out. Ugh.
Not sure what's happening for food today. I think we might of out to dinner, so I will try to keep it light for the rest of the day.
B: Protein coffee
L: veggie burger
D: ?

Good mornin everyone. QJB, glad to hear y'all's trip was good and that the conference was great!
Yesterday was quite awful. There is no other option for me with the pain stuff as the integrated medicine doctor?s quota was full for Medicaid patients and there is no waiting list?supposedly. My mom bit my head off multiple time that were completely uncalled for. When she is upset I?m her punching bag. I finally kind of snapped back before I went to bed. She is probably still mad at me for it. Shrug.
We?re going to a local lake today. I can?t get in the water so I am taking my iPad for some tutorials and some chainmaille supplies to keep me busy. Also taking my camera in case there is stuff to photograph.
QOTD: my grandpa.
B: JUST egg bowl, yogurt and coffee
L: probably a sandwich or I might throw a PP shake in the cooler
D: ???
edited to add something positive. I'm trying to be as positive as possible. I made a mistake on a complicated project right in the center of the bracelet. I thought I'd have to redo half of it. I was able to take out only 4 rings and fix it then get the 4 back in without looking at the tutorial. Pretty pleased with that and proud of myself. It's actually one of my top 5 favorite weaves. The pic is not great and it's not finished yet...I have two more rows to go.

Thank you! If I don't cry today I'll consider it a win.

I believe that snapping back at her was the right thing to do. When a person uses you for a punching bag, they don't expect to get punched back. If they do get punched back, they find someone else to pick on. Whatever medical issues she has does not give her the right to do that to you. You might want to calmly make it clear to her that you can no longer endure her snapping at you and you are going to retaliate whenever it happens.

hugs. one day at a time. Sometimes is OK to giveothers the "taste of their treatments" to us. One year I gave my sister back ... she was shokked but took it. And .. later our relationshp got better.

Good morning and happy Tuesday!
QOTD - I would be unable to decide and I don't know why your question is trying to punish me. Alice believed in 6 impossible things before breakfast and I usually speak to at least 6 people before breakfast (some of them impossible to be fair), lol.
Had a great catch up with my girlfriends last night, picked up some new halloween decorations. Today I will get in some rowing before work, my trainer after work and probably some stuff around the house.
menu today
coffee plus half and half X2
egg and bagel thin
left over filet and veg

I have not seen Halloween decorations in a store yet. It's a bit of a game for how long I can avoid seeing major holiday merchandise since I swear they are presented a bit earlier every year. Hope you got some good stuff!
