What's on your Thursday Menu?

Happy Thursday Menuer's. Another night of swimming went well. I did a half hour of "jogging" in the warm water pool which isn't as deep as the lap pool and then we moved to the lap pool and swam for another half hour. We are both really liking going to the Y. Saturday we will get the training on how the different machines work and I'm really looking forward to that.

Irvin's been working his butt off on the big outside rabbit hutch so we can get them moved outside and get them bred. Of course today's weather is absolutely craptastic with rain, but atleast it isn't swamp ass muggy like it has been. Heck the other day we got showers and thought it would cool things down, but it made it worse if you can even imagine that. I think my sweat was sweating so gross.

QOTD: Does anyone color code things when they organize stuff? I don't do it at home, but at work I do especially for my quarterly solid waste reports. There are certain towns that have either curbside pickup, commercial pickup or comes from a transfer station so those all get a special color so I know which is which.

B: coffee and two egg bites

L: ham and cheese wrap

D: grilled shrimp with summer squash

Swimming at the Y

Have a great day everyone!!

Irvin working on the rabbit hutch.

Good mornin y'all. Jennifer that hutch looks great!

I've got a busy day ahead. I have an appointment this morning with my case manager. Then we're taking Rachel to shop for a few shirts for school. Then we pick up the other two from GT camp...come back home for a few hours then my brother will pick 'em up around 4. I've got to wash sheets and maybe move some stuff down to the basement. Not a lot. Mainly boxes and a little night stand.

We are trying to decide how much we're going to donate to the flood victims and to who. We're thinking world kitchen or a bank fund down there. It's just so very sad. And though our leaders say that questions about the warning system are "the words of loses" let me tell you. Us Texans are mad. That's all I'll say about that before I get in trouble again.

I'm getting the supplies for a belt my boss is having me make. I need to brainstorm for another idea or two. I have a few ideas running around up there...need to draw it out.

QOTD: I am about the absolute worst to ask about organizing. I suck so bad at it. I have tried color coding but it always, always, ends up in chaos. I have resigned to the fact my creativeness thrives on chaos.

B: breakfast burrito and coffee

L: prob something on the go. We have to think about what we'll feed the kids.

D: chicken breast and some tomatoes

What is it about Texas that has made it's citizens so badly treated in recent years? I'm still mad for you all and the way the power companies treated their customers after that damaging cold spell a few years back. Now this horrendous floor...oh my, the heartbreak of it. I think I'm going to be donating to The Cajun Navy...seems they are always quickly boots on the ground and really people.

I could go on and on and on about that issue. Our governor was out of state as was a senator(he was in Greece). The senator was also awol during the cold weather issue you mentioned. It's mainly ineptness...incompetence and so on. They are so worried about following an ideology than actually serving the people they were elected to do so.

The Cajun Navy is awesome!

Good morning all and Happy Little Friday,

Yesterday was a mental health day for me. I got a couple appts done in the morning. Then the last week caught up with me and I had to lay down.

QOTD- Kinda. I have a sequence for medical, financial, and business stuff. It's a combo of words, letters and numbers. So I really just have color coded everything, as there are a vast amount of colors.

B: Nothing yet. I'll probably do a yogurt and lox w dill and Greek yogurt.

L: ???

D: Teriyaki Chicken and broccoli. Salad.

S: string cheese.

Today, I'm grateful for beautiful weather, grateful for bad weather, which is beautiful in it's own right. Grateful for not engaging with the landlord's instigating more than absolute necessary. Grateful to catch up with my brother. Grateful to know each day is a new start and independent of the previous day. Grateful for this forum.

QOTD- I've tried but my organization skills are definitely lacking. I'm lucky if I can just get the basics done.

I'm struggling at work, I have to force myself to do anything. My wrist is aching and so is my back. I know I need to lower my desk but so far I haven't done it. It would help with the aching wrist.

I really just want to retire, if I could afford it I would quit today. Sorry I'm such a downer.

Have a great day everyone!

I color coded at work and at home. My closet is organized by color and uses the colors of the rainbow. My home office has color coded folders and tags. I love to open a drawer and find everything in order and color coded if possible. It was not like that when I was a young mother. Now I have lots of time and patience.,

Hi all. Your meals sound good and give me great ideas. I haven't felt up to my usual cooking since starting Contrave but finally realize I actually do feel great and poor Hubby has really been neglected without complaint since May. It wasn't much effort but I defrosted cabbage rolls and shucked corn for his supper last night. He was so pleased to have a real meal that he not only un- and re-loaded the dishwasher, voluntarily took out the compost container and watered my pot ghetto on the patio. That was sweet but I feel so guilty.

Your swimming sounds heavenly, what a great facility and I bet after your training it will be a whole new kind of fun for you two. And kudo's to Irvin on that rabbit hutch, that looks like a very practical design.

Wish I could send you some of our weather. 85 degrees, a few clouds and a nice breeze. My PT lady is out sick today so I'm going to flit out and replenish my fat free cottage cheese stash.

Saturday is the 8 wk weigh in and I think I'm in a plateau but that won't prevent me from eating as clean as possible today and tomorrow. Prob. 2 meals a day and one snack. My usual shake for breakfast; dinner will be chicken breast, 1/3-1/2 cup whipped nf cottage cheese, cucumbers and the snack may be a hard boiled egg or a Fairlife shake. And LOTS of water, hahaha.

Edit: Forgot the QOTD! I color code the files for the house but that's it. Things like my closet and paper crafting stash are organized by their colors but that's about it.
