What's on your Thursday Menu?

^^Does anyone else follow the lady on TikTok who talks to her grandchildren in 2058 about life when we were younger? Its hilarious.^^

Good Morning! Oh man, I got nothing. Still no job, sigh. Lol, ok ok.

But I know that I am happiest when I am insanely busy, so I decided to start a big project that I have been thinking about for years. Why not start writing a novel in my spare time? I've had an idea brewing for awhile, and yesterday I actually took the time to put the idea on paper, so that's step one, I guess! I have no idea what steps are supposed to come after that, but this should be a fun creative outlet in my tooooo abundant spare time.

Today I'll just keep plugging along with applications and then do a little to prep for a family party we're hosting tomorrow night.

QOTD: Are you comfortable speaking in front of large groups? Generally yes for me. I don't have any public speaking phobias or anything, but obviously the more confident I am in the subject area, the more comfortable I feel!

Accountability: I ate 2 of my mini cookies. Whoops. Not to brag, but my cookies are really really really good.

B: Protein Coffee; 1 egg & avocado on rice cake

L: Babybel & Chomps

D: Roast Beef

Mornin everyone! QJB, I am sure any novel you write will be amazing! That is a fun and great idea!

Well...I got a note from the Medicaid insurance place. After asking for more help their answer was....do you still need help? Well ****I just asked for help for ****s and giggles lol. So I am going to wait and see what they say and I'll call them sometime today. I hate talking on the phone, it's an anxiety thing. I try to avoid it if I can. No word from the two clinics I contacted either of course. I'm so fed up it's almost comical.

Not sure what today'll have in order. We have to go get dog food and a handful of groceries. We didn't do the change yesterday so we'll be going to the bank as well. I've been up since 10:30ish. I am going to try going for a walk with my mom today. It may not be a long walk but I need to try. I may work on more chainmaille...need to make some earrings!

QOTD: a big no from me. Absolutely without a doubt no!

B: Two eggs and a small piece of chicken sausage and coffee

L: roast stew

D: ????

here is a lovely idea for how to shape y'all's meatloaf

You make dinner, I will make dessert. These are Rice Krispy Treats!

I can't believe those are Rice Krispy treats!

I'll make some and see if you are brave enough to try!

I'd eat both lol

I gotta be honest, I would not buy those rice krispies. The blood is too real looking.

Good morning and happy Jr Friday!!

QJB, that is one way to keep self imposed deadlines and structure on yourself! Good luck with the writing; I have done first reader for a number of published books (the number is 5 so it's not a high number, lol), plus dissertations so if you need a beta reader, happy to help,

I have had a productive morning, I finished my 50 miles of rowing for the month (I wanted to get them in before all my travel over the next couple of weeks); getting it done today pushed me and I have all my active minutes that my Fitbit is requiring for the day.

Another long meeting day, and I need to run to the library after work to exchange books and then some stuff around the house. I'm also helping a friend beta test an app that she's designed and working on some reformer software troubleshooting with the customer service for my reformer. Busy Thursday!

QOTD - I can speak to any size group about pretty much any topic with little to no prep. I like it better when I can plan but I don't have any nerves or anxiety about it.

menu today

coffee plus half and half X2

ratio yogurt

leftover bunless cheeseburger

I'm craving popcorn so I'll make some tonight

Have a terrific Thursday everyone

Oh you KNOW I am sending you all the drafts because you are my favorite avid reader/murder buff!

Please point me to that lady on TicToc. Anything that makes me laugh is great. I am a big fan of Penny the Talking Cat on Facebook. Every time Penny asks for ham, I think about you and Grim and your ham loving cat.

There are some excellent Facebook groups for people who want to write. One group will review your work and make suggestions. Usually very good suggestions. I will find them and send them to you on Facebook.

Today is the day I fly to California for the conference. I am a huge Dr. Now fan. I found out that he is doing a new show this spring. It is going to be about people who get weight loss surgery revisions.

Good luck on the Job Charming search. Then you can live happily ever after.
