What's on your Wednesday Menu?
Happy Hump Day gang. Halfway through the week already.
We ended up being 14 hours ahead of schedule with boiler 1 outage. This is very good news since our Westchester plant has been down for 10 days so far due to some 480V power failure. They are working off of rental generators but are not able to process anywhere near the amount of trash they normally do. Hopefully they can get back up and running soon as they take the long tail from us that is brought in by Rand Whitney and we have a huge pile of it on the tipping floor like 5 trailer loads. That stuff takes up a lot of space.
Other than that not much going on. Two types of my peppers have germinated and are doing well. My hot cherry peppers on the other hand have not sprouted. Looks like I will have to plant some more from a different company and hopefully they sprout and grow.
QOTD: Has anyone ever tried to grow sprouts like Mung beans, radish, chickpeas? Since we eat bean sprouts and others a few times a week I have decided to try and grow them myself. It seems pretty easy and they are grown in mason jars with a special lid. I ordered the lids from amazon and they should be in today. I'll keep you all posted on how it works out.
B: coffee and egg, cheese, ham wrap
L: I might go get some tacos from the little food truck down the road
D: Salad with grilled chicken breast
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day everyone!!!

Mornin y'all!
Not sure what today'll hold. We had horrid wind yesterday and it's only supposed to be mildly better today but colder. I'm over spring already and it hasn't even begun.
my CGM is working well. My numbers are decent for the most part. I've had no highs and one low in a full day. My eating is better.
QOTD: I have the things to make em but the cats bothered it the first time I tried so I haven't tried again. I love sprouts! So so much! Only one place in town has them here and they are on the other side of town.
B: breakfast burrito and coffee
L: salad with chicken and yogurt dressing
D: I'm thinking shrimp of some kind. I have some I need to use up.

Grim, hoping your daughter's surgery went well yesterday!
Good morning, that must feel amazing to be ahead of schedule. Quick post from me before I jump into my day and hopefully be able to accomplish a lot. That's one thing about busy weeks as they go by really fast and I do feel a sense of accomplishment!
QOTD: I have not, I have been interested in growing those ones in the little pots inside on the countertop that I have seen.
TSS: 10 years 7 months
B: SF latte, 3 turkey sausage links, and an orange
L: Turkey and cheese sticks, oikos yogurt and some fruit
S: A piece of fruit and yogurt
D: Grilled steak, Trader Joe's cauliflower rice, a banana, and 2 mini York peppermint patties

Have a great day!
Great news about your outage. So glad you are done with that and getting back to normal schedule. Asking where to send flowers to the "dead" sister was a brilliant move. Since you could not ask for proof of her death. It is so sad that people do not value their job, but I believe some of that has to do with mental issues.
I fell a few weeks ago and was going to start physical therapy this week, but they did another scan and I have fractured pelvis, so it will be staying off of my feet until it heals. When I went to the ER they said nothing was broken. The doctor could not figure out why there was so much pain, so he ordered a cat scan and that shows the fracture.
I was upset with myself for having pain, but now see that there is a reason for it. I am fortunate that my family is able to help with some of the things I have not been able to do. My sister is doing my cleaning, laundry, and taking the garbage out, and changing bag in litter robot. Just stopping in and checking on my helps a lot.

Oh Mary, I am so sorry about that. No wonder you felt so much pain! Praying for an uneventful recovery!
What is worse they are going to make you pay the guy that missed it when he read your x-ray. I am so mad for you. What do they do for a broken pelvis? Just bedrest? Hope you recover quickly. The summer is right around the corner and the pool is calling you. God bless you.

Just rest. I am giving in and going to take some pain medication. The weather here has been beautiful and I really want to be outside in the sunshine. I should be good by the time the pool is open. Usually in May if there are hot days. I was so upset with myself for having pain when I thought nothing was broken. I have a good doctor working with me now. But it will be a lot of rest until it heals.

I'm sorry to hear that, Mary.

Thoughts and prayers for this unwelcome surprise. I fell in the fall and realized it was much more severe than I thought. My forehead dented the corner of a wall. I definitely was concussed. I'm glad you sought help.
