What's on your Thursday Menu?
Good morning all. Today is pretty low key. We've got lunch out with a friend, and some regular stuff around the house. It hit 56 degrees yesterday, so I actually did a few minor things outside.
I haven't done an actual count, but since I started cheeseburgers back in my rotation at home, I've been having at least two a day. Ham cat wants to know where his damn ham is.
QOTD: Even as a teenager I was not a big car guy. It's just a way to get from here to there, and I'd prefer to keep those costs low. This vehicle is a 2002 (maybe 2001?), and I'll drive it until it needs to go to the crusher. The only times I ever had a car payment was from 1979-1982, and 1994-1997. It's nice not having a car payment.

Good morning all and Happy Lil Sebastian Friday,
QJB- I'm excited for you and the imminent job offer. Great job knocking it out of the park on the interview.
I'm monitoring the weather more often than weathermen today. I am ready to get out of Dodge at the drop of a dime if snow begins to be on the horizon.
Does anybody have any Memphis restaurant suggestions or off the beaten path things to explore?
I love it when a plan comes together. I had the hardest time finding new dress shoes and a formal coat. My feet lost weight too resulting in a size smaller and the normal extra wide. Yesterday, I found shoes after 3 different stores. I ordered 4 jackets and none worked. I found one yesterday at Goodwill and a quick button will make it fresh.
QOTD- I've had my current car 4 years. It is now 20 years old with 106k. It is a POS car and I love it. I drive it like a go kart complete with loud exhaust. I get to play Rad Racer IRL.

L: Filet mignon, mushrooms. This is my 3rd meal from the same steak.
D: ???
I probably won't be posting tomorrow so here are my Friday pics.
Pic #1: One of the ill fitting jackets and took a chance on the style. I sent this to my gf for a chuckle, complete with Millennial pose. I thought it may be appreciated here, too. The jacket wouldn't close. The struggle is real.
Pic #2: Rat pothole. https://themessenger.com/news/chicago-rat-hole-tourist-desti nation-north-side-rodent-squirrel-sidewalk-cement
Pic #3: Burger with pizza puffs as buns at Nicky V's on the South side.

Do not eat at the Memphis bbq company, there are so many better places. I liked Huey's burgers down by Beale street. I think it's a local chain.
The civil rights museum at the Lorraine hotel is a must, really moving and angering and all the feels. I did find Graceland to be way more charming and wholesome than I expected but if I had to pick one definitely the Civil Rights museum.

B: SF latte, Fiber/protein oatmeal, turkey sausage, and an orange
L: Turkey and cheese sticks, carrots, light and fit yogurt and some fruit

Good morning ~ Happy to hear your interview went well! Rest that knee and best of luck for tomorrow. Yesterday was fun, until we broke out into groups and I got stuck with the most annoying person in the room. What are you going to do? I ran into to my County counterpart in the hallway (the training was at his office) It totally escaped me that he worked there so it was a nice surprise. Otherwise, I have my group presentation today then I head home later this afternoon. I'm off tomorrow and since Monday is a holiday, I have a 4 day weekend! Next week is really short too and packed with personal appts so this month is going to fly. The work will pile up, but I got this.
QOTD - I have 2015 Nissan Rogue that has 170k miles. I love this car and will keep her as long as I can. I even prefer her to my husbands 2 year old car, but I take his on trips for the apple carplay feature - the map display is life on the road.
Accountability - No bigger UGH. The group annoyance at my training had me hitting the mini candy bar box several times. Which rolled into Jack in the Box tacos for dinner and a double gin and tonic at the bar. Talk about gut bomb! I still feel disgusting. Today will be clean.
B- coffee x 2, protein pastry
l - catered - very good food at this one, it's local take out not hotel food thankfully
d- TBD road food
Have a great day!
