What's on your Thursday menu?

I ordered one from Amazon that was $300. It came yesterday and I have not taken it out of the box yet. It is called Pet Cove Automatic Litterbox. Which one did you end up buying? If you recommend another one I can return this one and get one that you are happy with.

Mine is Bcharya brand from Amazon for $300 also. I don't know any other brands but this was simple to set up and it's fabulous. It has an app to tell me when I need to add litter or remove the bag from the bin below.

Thanks. I looked it up and it seems pretty similar. I also have a problem with cat tracking litter around the house and think that the lightweight litter I bought is part of the problem. I am going to get different litter and set up the automatic box this weekend then keep my fingers crossed that the cat will use it. I thought about going with the really expensive one because the cat is about two years old and that means about 18 years of scooping litter, so an automatic box is a good investment. I just did some research first and think $300 is a reasonable amount and those boxes are working well. The cat is a rescue and I have had him a few weeks.

The other thing that changed my life a few years back was buying the $1000 iRobot vacuum that mops, vacuums, and cleans itself. That was after several other robot vacs that worked, but required a lot of time to get hair out that would get stuck on the rollers and need to be emptied almost every day. It runs everyday and picks up the dust, litter, and pet hair and only has to have the bag changed every few months. The newest model also holds a week worth of floor mopping fluid and that would be another great feature.

It seems like so much money, but it is like hiring a maid to do the vacuuming and mopping. Look up the iRobot 10 Max with Autowash Dock. Mine is older and I have to fill up the tank and wash out the pads. The newest model would be even easier.

Good morning all and Happy 'lil Friday,

Look at 'Lil Friday, so cute and innocent. He doesn't know that he will be fully grown in 24 hours and out in the real world of the weekend.

Yesterday was not a good day. At the neurologist, after the EMGs, I was told there was nothing I need to act on. He said that I should just tolerate it, if possible and talk to pain management. Since I'm already seeing pain management for my hip issues, there isn't anything additional they will do. He did say an epidural in the neck is an option. I had so much fun with a spine epidural previously.

QOTD- corner store rotisserie chicken or taco for guys.

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt.

L: ???

D: leftover pizza and green veggies.

Hang in there Matt. Rotisserie chicken is a great option!

Thanks. A local grocery store, Mariano's, used to grill anything in their butcher case. It was a great option for spur of the moment protein. They still do it but have no employees to do the grilling. I always chuckle when I hear that.

Sorry about your appt. Keep your head up.

Thanks

• Good morning, everyone!

With swimming in the morning and CrossFit in the afternoon, yesterday was my first double dip day since before the triathlon. And, I think it got me past my jet lag! I slept through parts of three shows, and then went to bed and slept through the night (more or less).

Today is an office, day. I don?t have anything planned for this evening, but I may go to CrossFit in order to just swim Friday. I also have a bunch of little errands to do this weekend, so I could try and get a jump on those afterwards.

Today?s pictures are from Angkor Wat. In general, I was one of the least sweaty people on our trip. But Angkor Wat was the one day when I, in NFL parlance, ?lost contain.? I was just completely soaked through head to toe. Nothing could be re-worn, and I even weighed myself to make sure I wasn?t dangerously dehydrated.

QOTD: Real talk, sometimes that is sharing size M&M?s eaten slowly enough to prevent dumping. But I will feel a lot better if I go to Jersey Mikes (medium Roast Beef with cheese, pickles, mustard and spices.) Or a charcuterie pack like Hilshire Farms.

Breakfast: Bagel

Lunch: Chicken Parm

Dinner: steak salad

Have a great day, all!

Nice pictures, but the picture of the "monk?" is stunning!
