What's on your Monday Menu?

Good job on the walking! I think modern medicine can be so amazing!

Looks like you're on the right path to healing. Hope the pain subside quickly.

Wow, I'm amazed!

Good morning ~ Good luck today with your interview and getting all the the things done in a sleep deficit! I had a nice mellow weekend, walks, football, errands and scary movies. We are trying to watch ones we've never seen. It's been hit or miss and lately. The old Vincent Price movies have been great, but most of the others are time we will just never get back. Unfortunately, both this weekend were Steven King (2023 version of Children of the Corn and 1408). I'll just stick to the books.

Today is the sweet spot at work where all the reports are done from last month and I can't start the next month until 11/1, so I am free from deadlines for 2 whole days. I have other things to do, but I'm going to enjoy this while I can. I really like my new office, away from high traffic, closer to my staff and I have a ton more room for activities.

RIP Matthew Perry - Maybe I will try to finish his book, it's a very tough read.

QOTD - Yes, for weeks now and we have so few trick or treaters, so it's basically for Rob. I've only had some once - 5 pieces at once though, right at bedtime and if I had RH, slept right through. I stuck some SF chocolates in the bowl for me should be tempted again and it's saved me twice now.

Accountability - 204 this morning, boo. I was perfect on food and exercise all weekend, but not on water or vitamins, I need fix that.

B- coffee x4, cottage cheese w/EBB

I agree with the water statement. I never get my water in when I am not on my work schedule. good luck with your water intake today.

Good morning from the Barbie terminal!

The boys next to us did the sneakiest thing. We were in a spot and a group of young Patriots fans came and started tailgating in the spot next to us. Except that they didn't have a car.

As people came by they would tell them that they were just saving a spot for their friend who dropped them off. Since we both had Patriots gear on, eventually people would start asking us if they could park in the spot next to us, and like a dope, I would say "they are just waiting for their friends to pull in."

Eventually it gets close to game time and they just wave an older couple In Dolphins gear into the spot. I asked them why they were giving up the space and they said that they didn't care anymore because they were going into the game.

Still not getting it I asked about the friends and they said "oh, we don't have friends or cars, we just Uber here." So, didn't pay for the parking space and just lied to everyone who asked if they could park. And I fell into it.

I've heard that it's in the 30's in Chicago today.

QOTD: Marilyn bought a bunch over the weekend, but I'm not sure what kind.

I'm not sure about food today. I had 3/4 of a bagel this morning.

Have a great day, all!

Safe Travels Jim! I have been meaning to ask you, what do you think of Conor Bedard? Kid is amazing player!!!

I haven't seen him play live, but the team desperately needed this. I was at Wrigley with Lisa the night of the draft lottery and there was an ovation when number 1 was announced.

I thought they were applauding you?

You were expecting social niceties from young football fans, in the parking lot before a game? I'm confused...
