What's on your Monday menu?

Good Monday morning gang. What a crazy last three days. We had this insane storm come through with heavy rain and high winds. Ended up losing power at 8am on Friday and just got it back at 3pm yesterday. Then the generator didn't want to work and in the process of trying to get it started it surged the house and blew out the motherboard on the new furnace. So everything I had planned for the weekend was not done. Thankfully I have only 2 1/2 days this week for work and then I'm off for the rest of the year.

I have to call my weight loss center to make an appointment to see if they can change the medication I'm currently taking as I'm at a standstill. While I haven't gained any weight I can't seem to lose any either even if I do one meal a day of high protein.

QOTD: Are you ready for Christmas? I am for the most part. I have to grab a couple of gift cards and finish wrapping some gifts.

B: coffee

L: 2 slices cauliflower pizza

D: Stuffed mushrooms and salad

Hitting the Y and finishing wrapping gifts.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good mornin y'all.

kind of a busy day here. I have to go to the pt place to see if they'll take my prescription. Hoping like hell they will ss the next place is across town. It's been a rough weekend. I've been bad and used ibuprofen. So going forward no more of that. They also left long trails on the sutures so they stick through my shirt. I am going to have to wear the sling for longer than the minimum. I was told to stop wearing it when it felt ok to do so. I got ahead of myself. It hurt like hell yesterday so back to the dreaded sling.

we're also getting the last of the groceries for Thursday. The only thing we're not getting is the rolls which we'll get at Sam's Wednesday.

QOTD: meh. I'll be glad for it to be over. Some stuff happening with the family has left a layer of smog on my mood. My brothers MIL made my niece Rachel cry for some very VERY unnecessary reasons. Pissed me off. I do not like her.

B: egg pita pocket and coffee.

No more naughtiness with your arm, Lady!!! I know nobody will step in to help you but please don't overdo it, we all want you to heal well. Hugs!

Such cute pics! I want that Mrs. Claus outfit...how adorable.

Our new ginger feral has a community twin and I think they had a fight a day ago because there were lots of fine tufts of ginger hair around the patio. Yikes. I'm trying to light a fire under hubby to go rent a trap so we can get him TNR'd before the breeding season kicks off in January. So much better to do it now than when all the snow arrives.

So sorry to hear about that Out-law as my mom used to call them. What a nasty piece of work to make someone else cry. Hang in there, this week will be over with eventually.

I really am my own worst enemy. Stubborn to a fault. My mom is pretty good if I let her be. I hate depending on others as much as I do already so my stubbornness got me in the butt...or shoulder in this case.

For Christmas we're doing a lot of little foods so it should be pretty easy on my mom and me. The hardest thing will be deviled eggs and hot sandwiches. Cutting the p stuff which my mom will do. I like helping but I can't let myself.

good on you for doing TNR! Hope you can get it done soon too!

as for the out-laws(I like that!) to make your own granddaughter cry is a special kind of witch.

Merry Christmas!

Wow, so sorry about your power troubles! Hope you can get that motherboard replaced quickly. And I hope you don't have to wait too long to see your wlc provider. Better to do it this month than next when they'll probably be swamped with all the normal New Year's diet resolution people.

After Christmas I'm going to spend some time looking for another tracking site that feels more like Nutritionix (they're probably never coming back online). I'd bet I'm eating probably 100% more carbs than my doctor wants me to eat. The ulcer still hasn't let up so that is going to require a visit or a request to see a gastro doc.

QOTD: No, I'm in full panic mode. Only 1 gift wrapped but without a tag or bow. Still have one gift that requires a heavy amount of hand stitching and did manage to finish three others. Just started thawing the turkey and need to plan for all the sides for the 25th, all with no holiday spirit. And I'm feeling so guilty not visiting my friend every day, the decision was made to send her to Hospice House to die; she moves there tomorrow. Mom died in December, Dad's birthday was this month...it is already a really hard month but we all just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other you know?

B: ho****er

L: a Premiere One shake heated with a cup of Pero and sweetener.

D: Costco rotiss. chicken, 1/2 cup ff cottage cheese.

S: 10 grapes or a tangerine and sf chocolate in the evening. Bad intake but keepin' it real.

We're going to have another wet, brown Christmas. I feel sorry for the grands who long for snow to play in and to go skiing.

Break time is over, I've got to get back to my little Sweat Shop. lol

Hope your day was productive and not stressful, here comes Christmas or Yuletide if you celebrate. Or a meaningful Zose Hannuakah.
