What's on your Tuesday Menu?
on 9/5/23 2:22 am
Good Morning! I hope everyone had an awesome long weekend!! Mine was good! Even though I am completely done with school, somehow I don't feel less busy? I definitely overbooked myself with too many cookie classes this month and they are a lot of work to put together so it's been a lot of baking and icing prep. And I guess I just replaced writing papers with writing cover letters now that I have started the job search in earnest. But the weather is hot and sunny this week and kids are back in school, so I will definitely take a beach day some time this week. Probably tomorrow :)
QOTD: What celebrity do you wish would go away? I am sure I will get kicked out of Massachusetts for saying this but, GOD I hate Tom Brady! This man has not been on the Patriots since 2020, but somehow the local news has to talk about him every single day.
Accountability: Meh. I ate too much at the cookout on Saturday including cake, but we were very good about throwing out the leftovers. My reflux is out of control again which is giving me a false gnawing hunger, so I need to be careful to rein it in until the PPIs kick in.

Good morning QJB! You deserve a beach day - PLEASE make it happen!
Man did ChatGPT help me with my cover letters! I finally got to a point where I had one I loved and just tweaked it. I don't know if people read them but there's always a place to upload one!
I am free of Cover letter writing for a while as today is day #1 of the new job! Squeee!
SO many celebrities. Too many to count. I am going to exclude the orange man since calling him a celeb would be generous on my part. if I had to narrow it down to just one, I think it would be Kim Kardashian. I know that her body and face is a gazillion dollars of plastic surgery and fillers, not to mention crazy instagram filters, but you g women have this ridiculously unrealistic idea of what a woman should look like. She's not the only one, but she's a pretty bad offender.
I haven't gotten my credentials to my work email and calendar so I have no idea what meetings I have today. I do know that I plan to make tuna and pimento cheese sandwiches for lunch. Breakfast may be leftover rotisserie chicken. And dinner is something from hello fre****hink I got a high protein chickpea bowl as one of them.
Have a most fab day, everyone! Cheers to a short week!
