Whoops, forgot the QOTD
Qotd - music was the key west festival the end of January, musical play was February. I do have three concerts in 6 days starting may 2 though which is fantastic and also exhausting.

Good morning and happy Thursday! Hope you have a good time at the event. I saw an older person comment on social media last night that they haven't felt so close to the next Kent State situation since Kent State. Heated indeed.
yesterday was long but even though we were trapped in sessions in a training room until noon, I did manage to get in 17K steps. Neal's were exactly the same for breakfast and lunch so went with my yogurt, chomps for breakfast and snack and then skipped lunch. One of my colleagues told me about this Mac and cheese at a restaurant near my hotel so although I am not a Mac and cheese girl, it sounded so good I went for it. Shells, in a homemade cheese sauce, with spicy ramen seasoning, topped with chicken breast, bacon, sesame seeds and a bit more shredded cheese. The portion was not enormous but did I really need to eat the whole bowl? No! Did I? Yes! And considered licking the bowl after but managed to refrain. It was so good.
today I got up and went for a 40 minute walk...we're in one of those mall plus tech park plus random car dealerships and I started out in one direction and somehow came back from the exact opposite direction. Nothing really to see on the walk but good sidewalks and it was a nice cool morning.
today I am back in charge of my own menu (mostly).
coffee plus half and halfx3
greek yogurt
sbucks egg bites
cheese stick and chomp
i am taking my HRBP to dinner so wherever she picks.
have a great day everyone

Good Morning and happy jr. Fri! This has been a long week. I am really looking forward to when absolutely everything is not new at work, because it's exhausting to have to figure everything out with no context.
Today should be a good one, though. My (fav) niece lives up in Maine. She works remotely in Boston, but once a week she has to take an insanely early train into town. Her office is very close to mine, and today we are going to meet up for lunch. Yay!
I'm also staying late tonight for a work event, so I won't be getting home until 9pm. Not sure how much you are all following the campus unrests from pro-Palestinian groups but it's quite intense and taking a lot of my time. Tonight's event is likely to be heavily protested, so please pray that it doesn't get violent. I don't think it will, but another peaceful protest in Boston at another college did get very heated last night after the Boston police got involved :(
QOTD: What's the last live music event you attended? I am excited for tonight's concert. I love that there is music everywhere I go, now. Every time there is a talk, it starts and ends with a student musician, and sometimes when you walk into a building there will just be a group in the lobby playing or singing. It's so fun.
Food is unplanned today. My GERD was better yesterday and I hope it stays that way! Lunch and dinner will be out, so it will be hard to break up food into tiny meals, but I will try to have small portions.

LOL. I took a pic next to it on purpose to show how small they are. The generation of my grandparents were much shorter. Infact at the wedding one of the uncles I had not seen in ages was there. I kid you not, he couldn't be taller than 5'. Those cars were made for a much shorter generation.

You don't see these cars on the road anymore. They are not safe. The smallest cars nowadays are the Fiat 500.

That sounds so good and very little carbs.
