What's on your Thursday Menu?
Good morning all and Happy Thursday,
It's a dreary day and my mood matches. I have too much that needs to get done today. I am going to have to miss seeing a friend while they're in town for a few hours. They have a stop over on the way home to Thailand.
QOTD- I'm not good about frequently going through all the condiments at one time. I do tend to look through everything when I realize it has been forever since I last used that or ask myself when I actually bought that item.
Accountability: I ate in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. Pumpkin ice cream sandwiches(plural - 2!) I woke up regretting my choices.
B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, Tangerine.
L: 4" Diavalo Sub from Italian grocery.
D: ?? I have a couple proteins but don't feel like them. I may get Thai food.
S: cup of Popcorn.
HW: 371 SW(8/9/21): 324 CW: 215. 0 lbs til goal of skin reduction surgery. I'm still looking for a new plastic surgeon.

QOTD: Expired items are not limited to just our fridge. Yikes. I also have 17 bottles of salad dressing.
Starting next Thursday, I will be babysitting 2 puppies ? for 2 weeks. One is 6 months and the other is 15 years. Our own fur baby is 14. All doggies are small, with the oldest fur baby a little under 5 pounds. Fearful that a hawk or eagle will snatch the smallest one from the ground, I hover over it. Our backyard is fenced but I will not leave the dogs outside alone. I am so glad the holidays are almost over as this is a resort area AND they are rebuilding the causeway that hurricane Ian washed away 15 months ago. FEMA dumped fill dirt in the breaches back then and now it is time for something more permanent. Insane traffic is doubling the commute time in the morning, but afternoons are tolerable.
Food is unplanned and will consist of leftovers. Most were frozen but there is still a large hunk of prime rib from which MY version of Philly cheese steak in a bowl will be made. Unauthentic and a travesty I have been told. Whatever, it is delicious to me.

Happy Thursday-
My CT scan finally came back showing that the abdominal abscess is gone. However I still have colitis for some reason. I am being tested for C-Diff which I don't feel like I have. TBD. Tomorrow my PICC comes out and I will be medical equipment free! Excited not to have to saran wrap my PICC everyday for showers.
Today, the last of the family went home. It was very nice to have the company, but I am always happy to get back to my normal routine. Did a lot of house straightening up. Maybe this weekend we will start taking down the Christmas decorations. I did get outside to walk today and 60 minutes of yoga. Eating is trying to get in my calories.
QOTD: About once a week I go through the fridge to get rid of leftovers that are not getting eaten. However, I am not as good about condiments. I should be better since the life span of products once opened can be short.
QJB-good job on taking care of your knee. We need pictures of your organized cookie room.
