What's on your Tuesday Menu?

Good Tuesday Morning Gang. Chilly this morning here in CT and is supposed to get colder by the weekend. We have a small fire fighter class at work today and then getting ready to take boiler 1 down for repairs tomorrow. The rest of the day should be quiet.

I have to call and reschedule an appointment I had to cancel a couple of weeks ago due to things going on at work. I know they probably won't be able to get me in until the new year, but it's nothing urgent.

QOTD: If money wasn't an issue, would you help out a family who fell on hard times during the holidays? While I try and donate a few toys to local businesses; if money wasn't an issue and I had unlimited funds I would 100% help a family out with gifts for everyone and a complete holiday meal. I've seen so many people asking for help and it's rather heartbreaking.

B: coffee and bacon, egg breakfast wrap

L: chicken soup and two ham/cheese/lettuce wraps

D: liver, onions, and mushrooms

Hitting the Y and then going through a couple of totes.

Have a great day everyone!!

Good mornin y'all.

yesterday was rather awful but it is over so on to today.

we've got to get some groceries. My brother and middle nieces birthdays are the 15th and 12th so we're doing a dinner Sunday. Chicken fried steak and chicken sandwiches. So I'll be tired then.

I think my mom's wanting to go by the thrift stores.

QOTD: I have done stuff when able. I had a friend whose husband lost his job right before Christmas. I got their son some gifts and one for each parent. Wasn't a super expensive endeavor but I felt the need to do it and I don't regret it one bit. I love my friends. I also remember a year when some friends made my year for Christmas...I would never ever be a billionaire as I believe in helping my fellow humans. Even if it just a coffee to say you're thought of and such. It just makes me happier to give than receive.

food is unknown at this point.

Hope your Tuesday went much better than your Monday. Does your mom like to thrift for the thrill of the hunt or just the fun of poking through all the possibilities of the treasures there? Merchandise is down at the ones here (and prices are UP) but in January it will swell again when everybody catches the national declutter bug.

Love the photos of your kitty babies. Thank you for sharing them.

Good evening, hope your day stayed quiet and that the Y was a good workout.

We had our daughter and her family over yesterday (finally) for a tree trimming get together. It took all weekend to get the house pared down enough to find room for all of us. Makes me wonder how my grandma hosted three families of her kids, their spouses and the grandchildren all in a teensy little WWII bungalow. I served a loaded baked potato bar and had oodles of sides and blew all caution to the wind w/my food. The things I ate (cauli instead of potato) amounted to around a tablespoon each and then I had a thin slice of chocolate chip cookie pie.

QOTD: Absolutely. Money will always be an issue but there's always the usual stuff like Toys for Tots and the Angel Tree at church, various food drives. At one of Hub's past duty stations the squadrons would each select an anonymous family and put out suggestions for sizes of clothes, interests and ages for toys and we all would contribute and have them wrapped and tagged by the due date. The squadron would provide the holiday meal and since all of us were poor together it was nice to be able to help out as a group.

B: two mugs of ho****er

L: coffee and half a protein bar

S: ho****er and the other half of the bar

D: 3 oz chicken breast and 1/2 cup of FF cottage cheese

It's day 3,847 since Nutritionix went offline for "upgrades" and I'm slogging through without it but should be eating better.

PS: I was so busy this weekend that I forgot my 19 year Surgiversary on Saturday.
