My cats always hide when they see the carrier. I have been on the phone with the vet's office while crawling under the bed to try to catch the cat and get it in the carrier. Good luck with your trip today.

QOTD- Baking bread.
I got one job done yesterday and I have to get another one out today. Then the big one is due Friday. I hate feeling pressured to get them done. But that is what happens now. Production, production production.
I take my kitties in for their shots today. Wish me luck, I brought out the carriers yesterday and one of them actually crawled in. So I'm hoping it won't be much or a struggle.
Nothing exciting going on here.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning, everyone!
Long day yesterday - woke up at 5:00 AM for swimming and didn't get home from the concert until about 1:00 AM. I'm in the office today, so just trying to power through. Tonight will just be sweatpants on the couch watching March Madness.
Milwaukee is about 100 miles from Chicago, but it's all highway, so only about a 1 3/4 hour drive. The FiServ Forum was a good location, smaller than the Chicago venues. Unfortunately, we did not get to go to Maders, because of the crowds. We went to a forgettable bar for a burger. They did have a Claw Machine that had White Claws as the prize. I sent a picture to Chrissy, but I've never actually had a Seltzer, seems to bubbly.
The two ladies next to us had at least a dozen shots of Whistle Pig - I would not have been able to walk after that.
Concert was great. Ann broke her arm, so sang sitting down but still had great range. And 70-something lady, or not, Nancy whales that Telecaster. Dreamboat Annie, Little Queen, Magic Man, Crazy On You, Barracuda - you guys know them all. Plus covers of David Bowie's Let's Dance and Led Zeppelin's The Ocean and Going to California.
Cheap Trick sounded much better in the smaller arena than in the Rogers Center last year. When we go to Rod Stewart this July, they are also opening.
QOTD: Christmas Tree.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: Marilyn said she would get me a pretzel and cheese sauce since we didn't get one last night.
Have a great day, all!

He uses fresh chicken that he cooks.

Good Morning Jennifer and Menuers,
The burgers look fantastic. I have seen this recipe around just never took the time to try it. Do you know if he used canned chicken or did he cook the chicken from fresh and grind himself. I'd eat that. My mom is getting worse. Not that it is not expected, but yesterday she was having a hard time opening soup cans that have the opener tab on them. She decided to try it for 4 cans of soup and broke the tabs off all of them and just cracked it open a bit. I had to find containers for all of it. What worse was there was soup in a bowl that just needed heated in the fridge for her. I stop tonight just to see what other stuff she gets herself into today.
QOTD: I love the smell of coffee and also the smell of a fresh pot of sauce on the stove.
Accountability: I ate 1/3 of a cream filled donut and too much blueberry easter bark from Aldi.
TSS: 7 years 3-months 15-days 167.4 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
MS: Premier Protein Caffe Latte
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
L: salad with cheese HBE and grilled RGF chicken and Italian dressing, berries
D: Meat loaf or Mississippi pot roast quesadilla.
Exercise: dog walking
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great day my friends.
Brightest Blessings

Love that idea for protein hamburger roll. I love the smell of baking bread and the smell of freshly laundered clothes from the dryer.
People get so entitled expecting ti.e off too count towards vacation. Once they have a perk like that they will resent losing it.

Good mornin y'all!
Not a lot going on today. We got the rest of the yard finished yesterday. I did some weed whacking and it absolutely killed my arms. I was in tears by the end of the very short amount I did. I feel so broken body wise. Ugh.
We will get an a/c unit up. It's getting hot in the house. It catches sun all day with no shade at all. I may get a package ready to send and send that late this afternoon. I need to find some time to work on weaving.
QOTD: I love fresh bread too but my absolute favorite is baking oatmeal cookies. It's a home smell to me and comforting.
B: light egg burrito and coffee
L: probably an egg, slice of bread and some turkey sausage
D: chicken.
Good Morning All. Chilly start to the day, but the sun is shining. Not much planned for today. The reason why corporate people were here yesterday was to let everyone know that going forward that vacation/PTO time and holidays will no longer count towards overtime. There are people here that are not happy about that, but what can you do about it.
QOTD: What's your favorite smell? I love the smell of fresh baked bread. Not that I eat much bread, but when we go to Market Basket we always get a loaf of one of their fresh baked breads. You can smell them as soon as you walk in the store. Having to grocery shop before you get to the bakery kinda sucks because smelling the bread makes you buy way more stuff than you originally went in for. LOL
B: coffee and 2 scrambled eggs with ham/cheese
L: 3 chicken taquitos
D: not sure yet might make up some turkey salad
My stepson sent me this picture of his burger last night. The "bread" is made from ground up chicken breast, cheese, eggs, and seasonings. He grounds is up and then cooks it in a waffle maker to make it look like buns. I'm going to try it this weekend since it is basically all protein.
Have a great day everyone!!
