Good morning gang! I hope you are all hitting mid-week super-charged with the weekend in sight! Another hot day here, but the food was pretty good, lots of good protein, fruit and veg options. I met up with my old neighbors for tacos last night. They are the ones who gave me our cat, Bubs it was great to catch up! Today is training, panels and more people-ing. I miss my treadmill time in the morning! Isn't that funny? I actually enjoy it and I'd walk here now, but safety is an issue. I am skipping the group event of a Kings game and may join a group walking to Old Town tonight
QOTD - Name a famous person living or dead that you would like to have dinner with and why? This was the obligatory icebreakers question yesterday. After the many repeat answers of Jesus, various presidents and Kobe Bryant... one girl said Diddy. Diddy? The room went dead. Then it was my turn. How do you follow that? I could not remember my clever answer for the life of me so I blurted out Donny Osmond! Because I've been in love with him since I was 4!! No shame, everyone laughed and my answer stands!
Accountability - great on food, 15 active minutes and 8,966 steps. Today all good bites, all the steps I can get.

This weekend though we?ll take a good assessing look at the drankin? behavior.
Mother n daughter on the daybed/ porch swing . We might just all sleep out here ? cozying together under th starz. 
All your dreams about figuring out a way to get rich reminded me of a story. When computerized banking was very, very new there was a programmer who worked for a bank. He wrote a program that put a small portion of every bank transaction into his personal account. It was something minute, like 10 cents. But it quickly grew and soon he was a very rich man.
Nobody had any idea that it happened. He had lots of money now and no worries. He fixed the program and removed all traces of it. The only problem was that he felt compelled to tell someone about it. One night at a bar he confided to someone what he had done and how much money he had accumulated.
That person turned him in and the bank took him to court. He lost the money and went to prison.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Getting insanely cold at night is still a thing and I am 76. I sleep alone in a queen size bed and have a heated mattress pad. I heat one side of the pad and sleep there when I am cold and move to the cooler side of the bed when I am too hot. I have gone to bed in flannel PJ's and got up in the middle of the night and changed to a cool cotton nightgown. The lower my weight, the colder I seem to be. I have a fireplace in the livingroom and run that at night and need to get another heated throw for the couch this winter.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Grant interview was postponed ( again ! ) till tomorrow so I walked in Central Park on the way home .
Discovered beautiful Belvedere Castle ( a turn of the century?s astronomers vantage when of course New York sky was dark and the Dakota ( parallel with it ) was being built on farmland !
The adjacent Shakespeare Garden ( complete with Medieval style house as a background) is to die for even in mid October ? pics to follow on Friday .
Also walked part of the ? Ramble ? which is very upstate forest - like and has a huge lake. 4.5 miles total.
Gorgeous fall day here now relaxing and sunning on the daybed.
Breakfast was scenic shrimp salad n chockachino on top of the castle, L- chile verde chicken soup , chai tea latte sf ff , Greek or Caesar salad .
then lawyer seeking in the afternoon 
.
Fantasy crime - going postal in an office full of landlords !
Or doing a Bernie Madoff lol.
You know he DID get away with his Ponzi scheme forever ? only the economic downturn exposed his deceptions .
Most of his customers were VERY happy recieving better than market returns for twenty plus years ? but I feel very sorry for the ones who lost their life savings at the end of the musical chairs.
Good morning all and Happy Tuesday,
It's a beautiful day in the not so Windy City. I'm struggling with time allotment right now. I need to give up some parts of my day to day and life.

B: 1/2 bagel and lox, tangerine.
L: Teriyaki Madness. I'm intrigued how sweet, little, innocent teriyaki gets involved with all the madness.
D: steak, garlic mushrooms, salad.
Accountability: horrible. Considering all my life's current chaos, I haven't been sweating myself for bad food choices as long as the scale doesn't move much. A sample of pumpkin cold brew that I was just handed, a bag of gummy bears, 2 snack size 100,000.
My goal today - Give random strangers compliments.
