Good morning Queen JB and Menuers,
"Well, I'm not dead yet." Quoted from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But I am tired enough I could sleep in a casket right now. Price changes going on at work. Bowling started for mom so 2 more nights of driving her to her activities. Closing the pool Saturday so I need to get the pool prepped to put the cover on. I am beat. I am trying to plan a trip to Costa Rica for the week after Thanksgiving, but I have not pulled the trigger on buying the tickets yet. I need 2000 more points for a free flight and just praying prices won't go up before I get them. I haven't even had time to peek in to see what your all up too so I hope all is well in your worlds.
I was at a picnic Sunday and had a lovely cold Spaghetti squash salad with artichokes, cucumbers, sun dried tomatoes, macadamia nuts there was also either feta or blue crumbles. It was amazing but could not find who made it. Does anyone have a recipe like this? I definitely want to try it for myself this weekend.
QOTD: I write them for work here and I pay for my dogs' vitamins with a check.

Wow, very cool that is a girl. Orange female cats are super rare!
Good morning, everybody!
I am on the early train today. Calls starting at 9:00 and lasting through the day. Also, going to try and get to the gym tonight because we have a work outing to the Cubs game tomorrow and I don't know when I will get home from that.
This outing is one of those things that looks really cool at first, but then as it gets closer, the logistics start sinking in and it becomes a source of dread. Home to train station to office to ballpark to train station again.
If you were to draw a triangle, the train station to office leg is 2 miles, the office to ballpark is 5 miles and the ballpark to train is 6 miles or so.
Two weeks until we leave for Asia. I am not bringing my computer with me. I will have my phone but plan to use it infrequently.
QOTD: We still pay most of our bills by check. Personally, I only write one or so a year.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: chicken
have a great day, all!

Good morning ~ It's going to be a hot one today - 90's everywhere and even hotter in the hills. But nothing is going to dampen my mood, not even our sweat lodge of a house w/no AC after work. It's week 1, game 1 of NFL - Ravens @Chiefs. Will TS be there?? bring it! I was able to complete my annual beast report - today will be polish and revisions then boom it's over. I'm now looking forward to passing on my monthly reports to staff (in stages), I just have to update them first, but there is a path I'm excited about. I can see the weekend from here, lots of fun plans and more football. I'm always happy at week 1, ask me again at week 5 when I'm restless and feel chained to the house. Actually I'm going to try and avoid that this year by being super active on Saturdays to more enjoy the lazy Sundays.
QOTD - Yes, Rob's mom and now Chloe's groomer stopped taking plastic due to cost. Who carries cash these days? I wish we could venmo but no, they are both old school.
Accountability - better, much better on food - no extra bites of any kind. I think a diet break is good in that I got it out of my system, but I don't want to get stuck there, regain or prolong the agony of losing this weight. I've pulled my head out of the sand and I'm going to work hard to get to my goal. 56 active minutes and 10,210 steps. Today I'm 168.6, 30 minutes done on the treadmill.
B- coffee, cottage cheese
l - leftover chicken on zero tortillas
d - bacon cheeseburgers on the grill, no bun
s - melon/strawberries, nectarine, jerky
Have a great day!!

Mornin' All!
well I fell asleep around 1:00 AM, and was wide awake at 4:00 AM. I finally gave up trying to get back to sleep and went out to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. This could be a very long day.
my brother arrived yesterday afternoon on schedule, but he decided he was going to sleep over at my mom's. It's just as well. It's kind of disruptive having someone else in the house, and by having him stay mostly at my mom's, it'll give me a few days off of having to deal with her, which can get really stressful at times. I'll look at this as a much-needed break.
classes start today, but I can't go to my in-person one since I have a hair appt at that time (my hair dresser schedules three or four months out and is really hard to get into on short notice, so I'm NOT giving up that appt...). Not much else going on. It's supposed to rain later, but hopefully it won't be too humid beforehand because I need to get out and bike or walk this morning.
QOTD: the only checks I write any more are to my hairdresser and my massage therapist. They're both in business for themselves (and my massage person works out of her home), so they just take cash and checks. I used to write several checks a month - now it's like one or two. It takes me FOREVER to use up a check pad!
coffee with half & half
skyr with fruit
protein shake
protein muffin
2 T black bean dip with 5 tortilla chips
L&F yogurt?
not sure about dinner (again!). Maybe a salad with chickpeas on it (for protein)?
have a great day, everyone!
