Happy Friday!!!! Not sure if I'll be going strawberry picking since it seems like all the places are closed today for ripening. So I'll have to figure something else out to do with my daughter and granddaughter. What a difference in the weather compared to yesterday. It is cool and windy, but I think it is supposed to get into the 80's later on.
The rain held off last night and Irvin was able to go watch the grandkids race. They had a blast and are really into it.
Not sure of a QOTD so if someone has one please feel free to post it.
B: coffee and two eggs over easy with a slice of cheese and avocado
L: not sure depends on what we do today
D: grilled swordfish and salad

have a great Friday and weekend everyone!!
Good Morning (it's still morning for me!) and it's Friday-Eve. My day is flying by already and I am not complaining yet. I still have hope that my partners in surrounding departments get me the data I need ahead of schedule.
QOTD: I used to like jet skis or a tube being pulled from a boat.
Typical menu and dinner will be chicken sausage, mashed cauliflower. Water/Vits and exercise on track.
I hope everyone has a great day.
Hi, hope you all are having a nice day. Praying for safety from the thunderstorms and severe heat the forecasters are talking abou. Your humidity must be awful but having strawberry picking to look forward to with family sounds fun anyway. I've been spotty keeping up online this week but the phone call with Dr. went well, she was pleased and agreed to keep me on the pills for another refill or 2. Have to go to base to pick them up and do the required bloodwork tomorrow. My body has been protesting being put to work so hard in the garden this week but, tough beans. The beds are overrun with field bindweed, morning glory and catmint. It can't be left alone or it will cover everything.
QOTD: Gardening. The kids bought me a t-shirt that says 'Indoorsy', pretty much sums me up. Used to love swimming but can't do chlorine anymore and the only public pool is the YMCA which gives massive ick factor. Someday I'd love to see the ocean and I bet my favorite outdoor activities would be walking the shore and watching waves. Saw the Oregon coast when I was 2 after Dad's mom died but I have no memory of her or the ocean.
Today's planned food:
B- chocolate protein/collagen shake. So delicious it's like dessert.
L or S: 1/2 c nonfat cottage cheese, 1/2 cup sliced strawberries, 1/2 tsp SF strawberry gelatin powder. Wherever I saw the recipe they called it either Pink Fluff or Pink Stuff; very tasty whichever.
D- spring greens salad w/rotiss chicken, baby tomatoes, salsa for dressing.
LS-2 T chia seeds in water.
PT tomorrow a.m. and this time I'll take up their offer of icing afterwards.

Good Morning Jennifer and Menuers,
Another cloudy day with rain. I can tell today is not going to be a great day. I bought a dress at a rummage sale Saturday and thought I would wear it today. Looks great on the hanger and if I stand but it ain't no sitting dress. When I sit the buttons bulge and the hem line comes up way too far. Just lucky no one can see me where I sit, and it is cold in the office, so I have an Afghan over my legs.
QOTD: Raft and a Draft
Accountability: I have been very conscience of what I eat.
TSS: 7 years 6-months 8-days 167.2 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
MS: Premier Protein Root beer Float
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
L: Sauerbraten made with round steak
D: grilled meatloaf
Exercise: dog walking
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great day my friends.
Brightest Blessings

The hot weather is not going to hit here until tomorrow but a lot of very hot days ahead. I love the water, from walking on the beach to being in the water. I love a boat ride. I have never fished except for sometimes as a kid and don't remember that we ever caught anything we did not throw back.

Morning gang. A little late here I had to run to Walmart because Primo water decided to cancel our water delivery yesterday. Now I need to call them and let them have it. Since they have merged with Ready Refresh the service has been horrible.
The weather today is officially called swamp ass weather. It is so warm and muggy it is sickening. But today is my Friday woo hoo now I have to find a place for tomorrow for strawberry picking with my mom, daughter, and granddaughter. Crossing fingers that the NASCAR midget racing is still on for tonight for Irvin's grandkids.
QOTD: What's your favorite water sport? Irvin used to waterski when he was younger. For me I just like boating especially in sal****er and being able to fish is an added bonus.
B: coffee and 2 egg bites
L: salad with 1/2 cup egg salad
D: grilled chicken thighs and swiss chard

Have a great day everyone!!!
Hi! Late check in that I'm sure will miss everyone. It was busy all day and especially because I take lunches on Wednesday for a telehealth appt. I'm holding out hope that we will be able to process some of our payroll early instead of having that team wait until Monday. Fingers crossed.
QOTD: I used to enjoy running outside but since my injury/surgery I haven't started back up.
Dinner was chicken sausage and mashed cauliflower. Water/exercise/vitamins, all on track.
I'll do my best to check in tomorrow before my day gets crazy, but I don't know what time it will start to get crazy!
Humpty Hump!
It feels a bit like Friday because I am heading to Florida tonight. I will go straight from work to the airport and land at about 10:45. Marilyn is picking me up at the airport.
We have tomorrow off, but if our clients are working, they will expect attention.
I had been on a streak of being early to work, but I didn't sleep well last night, so the streak is over.
QOTD: Fishing, hiking, swimming and biking.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: steak
Dinner: airport food
Have a great day, all!

I like walking in the woods and finding wild flowers but the swimming pool is my favorite outside activity. My brother who is 73 and his son are hiking to the bottom of the grand canyon this week. Last time they did it on mules. My nephew is hiking at various locations in Utah and Colorado and the grand canyon is on their schedule. The pictures they are Facebook are amazing. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,
I took Monday off and was playing catch up yesterday. I did get my top 2 floors of window and door washing done. It was an incredibly rainy cool weekend, and I have been in the pool exactly 1 hour since I opened it on May 17. I hear that is all supposed to change, I am hoping for a wonderful hot weekend and planning a pool party. Work has been steady as she goes. No meeting with boss yet. I am just laying low and hiding till I get notice we will meet. Hopefully I am still at the bottom of the list.
QOTD: Walking on the beach. Collecting seashells and swimming in the ocean. I also like to Scuba and fishing.
