Good mornin y'all.
nothing much happening here. I woke up Saturday barely able to function with my back hurting really bad. So I didn't do much, yesterday it was slightly better and today is about the same as yesterday. I happen to have an appointment with the pain management clinic. Hoping to get at least a muscle relaxer. We'll see. It's gotten me down in the dumps but at least I am still on point with food and tracking. Down a few more pounds.
I'm tired from not being able to sleep much. I'm hoping my mom doesn't have much planned. We have no days off this week from appointments. I need to get some stuff done at home too. Tomorrow my mom has one, Wednesday and Thursday are for me and Friday we've got to get the car's oil changed. Friday were also going out with my aunt for her birthday. I need to make a pendant for her this week.
QOTD: Saturday we were 92°. Yesterday we were 88°. Last weekend we had 5 inches of snow on that Saturday.
B: egg, sausage, cheese, light bread and coffee
L: undecided. Prob soup
D: chicken and roasted broccoli and cauliflower
S: cheese, 1/2 tbs PB and ????
Good morning, everybody!
I had a bit of the Sunday Scaries yesterday. That's unusual for me. Not that I go bounding into work on Monday morning, but usually I enjoy the weekend and let Monday come to me. I'm not even super busy today, just dreaded the thought of going back to work today.
To go to your QOTD, Jennifer, it has been an unusually cold spring so far. I think that may be a component of why I felt as I did. Some outdoor weekends will certainly help things.
I did the Fun Run on Saturday, everyone was cute in their superhero costumes. And I got a hat out of the deal.
Marilyn is away for a few days, but I have plenty to do to keep me busy. We will rent the Home Depot truck on April 28th and need to have everything ready to go by then. My lifting platform is about 375 pounds, so I will need help tilting it against the wall for disassembly. The number one priority is to get the area around it ready so that I can round up some helpers and be ready to go.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: leftover pierogies and kielbasa
Have a great day, all!

Good Monday morning gang. Boy did the weekend fly by. We had a fun time Saturday morning at the Cheerleading nationals. Mia's team got second place in their division out of 8 teams. Irvin and I walked through the casino, but didn't play anything. I just wasn't feeling it and didn't want to waste money for nothing. Ended up going to the Asian market to grab some stuff and stopped at Big Y for some fish, shrimp, and oysters to make a seafood fry.
We have a new hire starting today and other than that the day/week should be a quiet one.
QOTD: Who here had crazy weather over the weekend? We woke up Saturday morning to an inch of snow/sleet and then by the afternoon it was sunny. Further North by 20 minutes in MA they had almost 4 inches of snow. I'm beginning to think Mother Nature is drinking or something because the weather usually isn't this crazy in April.
B: coffee and 2 eggs with ham and cheese
L: Bok Choy soup
D: Grilled chicken thighs
30 minutes on the treadmill

Did you watch Happy Valley? We liked that and another series called Unforgotten. Both UK crime stories.

I stay in casinos when in Vegas because so cheap. But the tradeoff is the cigarette smoke. They used to all have wonderful and very inexpensive buffets but that is no longer the case. Now the food is pretty pricey, like $29 for a hamburger. There are a few buffets left but they are not cheap anymore.
I have gone to local casino for concerts and to watch the horses race. My husband was a gambler, but I am not. So I have no problem walking past the machines.
QOTD- Pre-surgery we used to go for the seafood buffet. But it's a waste now, since neither one of us can eat very much. Plus I hate the smoke, since it is an Native American casino you can smoke pretty much any where. And the non-smoking section doesn't have the good slots.
I got the job done that was due yesterday, so I'm on a roll. I over think everything, and worry too much about this stuff. I have another job I need to get done today.
I'm looking for a new series to binge, I finished Only Murders in the Building, and Ghosts UK. Waiting for the new season of The Cleaner on Britbox. Any suggestions?
Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning Jenniefer and Menuer's.
Wow I never thought I would see Friday. It's been rough. My plan is to do gym and Mom duty and get ready for Easter. I do have to stop by the funeral home for a viewing tomorrow, but it will not be an all-day thing. I got one cheesecake made last evening. I plan to do 2 or three more. Just saw Costco has a strawberry cheesecake out. The only difference is theirs has strudel on top.
QOTD: Yup we went to see a band and dance couple weeks ago. I live really close, so we go to see the horse races and bands. It is cheap close and fun.
Accountability: I ate the last piece of strawberry rhubarb pie.

Good morning, everybody!
I was happy to see that the contractors were in the hot tub starting their repairs this morning. I don't know what they need to do or how long it will take to conclude, but I do know that they can't finish until they get started.
We don't have a ton of plans this weekend, I am doing a little 3K fun run tomorrow morning and I am going to a seminar on how to change my bicycle tires later that day. My son wants to go fishing on Sunday, so that may be the plan. Hopefully, I can start some packing of my garage gym stuff.
At lunch yesterday, the guy next to me ordered a family size deep dish pizza. He was dumbfounded by how large it was. He asked me if I wanted a piece and would have loved to have cancelled my order and just had one slice and a soup. But they were already making my pasta. Hence today's leftovers.
QOTD: I have not yet, but I could definitely see myself going to smaller concerts. I like the idea of shorter drives and free parking. I think the Sphere is attached to a casino but I don't count it.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: Tortellini
Dinner: Italian Beef
Have a great day, all!
