Good Morning everyone! I am a tired girl. I taught two full classes this weekend and I was just physically and mentally exhausted when I came home. Have you ever felt too tired to sleep? I went to bed early and collapsed but I woke up after an hour as if I had taken a nap, and I struggled to sleep for the rest of the night. I finally gave up at 2am.

This morning I have a phone interview - sort of? My in-person interview with the same place is on Thursday and the interviewer offered to chat with me this morning. I think she is really desperate to get this role filled so she is trying to set me up for success. I'm not really sure what I should ask her, so I need to think that through next.

Otherwise, I need to spend a good amount of time unpacking all of my cookie class boxes and getting organized. I also need to tackle the last cookies for this big order due at the end of the week, apply for some more positions, clean the house, and go shopping to find something to wear to the interview! I've been living in sweats for a year and I just don't have anything that looks even vaguely professional.

QOTD: Have you bought your Halloween candy yet? I haven't! I am usually all over it by now, but I haven't been inside a store in ages. I need to try to remember to grab it while I am out today!

Accountability: I am really "off" for some reason this weekend. No sleep and no appetite. I managed to get through the last 2 days with the equivalent of one meal all day.

Good mornin y'all. QJB, so sorry you couldn't sleep! It is so hard to get through the day without enough sleep, hope you're able to get a nap or two worked in to the day.

My mom has an appointment with an oral surgeon today to get a tooth evaluated for removal. The roots are too close to her sinus cavity to just be pulled. I get that from her, I had a tooth that the roots grew up into the sinus cavity and even though it's gone every time I get sinus issues going it hurts like heck. Ahh genetics. They won't pull it today but they'll likely do it sometime this week or next.

Yesterday wasn't great overall. My moms the type that she shares the wealth when she's in a bad mood.

QOTD: yes we have. Mostly so my mom could do the goodie bags for my nieces and nephew. My mom isn't perfect but she is a good grandma. She can do for them what she couldn't do for us since she was a single mom with no help from the ex-husband.

B: oatmeal and coffee x2

L: ????

D: ????

She's meaty, needing and a sweetie...she's Mona.

Good morning JB and Menu Friends. I love the Meme JB, Hilarious.

Back from 2 weeks away! We had a nice vacation and wonderful 30th Anniversary Cruise ( I will post pictures on Friday). Can you believe I did not gain a pound during vacation and am down? Mounjaro reminds me of early honeymoon phase, I have no interest in food.

I do have some news! We are being gifted a Puppy! A Bernedoodle , we have named her Chloe! ( Pictures below) She will be ready to come home to us on Dec 6th!

I hope you have all been well, it will be nice to be back in a routine again!

*** Edited to add QOTD - We are the boring house, we usually give away non chocolate, by design. ( I love chocolate!) this year we have Fruit Snacks and Utz little cheese balls.

B - 2 good yogurt and Raspberries.

L - Egg salad a la carte

S - cukes and ranch

D - steak tips and asparagus

Stay healthy my friends, Mike
