Good morning, everyone!
Three straight days in the office is kind of tiring, I'm not sure how I used to do five every week. But the reward is that I am home for 5 straight days starting this evening.
Marilyn joined my daughter's Fantasy Football league and she has her draft tonight, so I might help out with that. And we have Happy Hour, but I have a check in with the Oral Surgeon early morning, so I probably won't participate.
QOTD: Favorite Nut? Definitely Chrissy!
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: salad
Dinner: Chicken Fajitas
Have a great day, all!

Morning Gang. Thanks for starting us off Mel I got tied up with an issue at work and I'm just now getting on. I just wish people would do their jobs and stop lying about doing it. It ends up making things so much more difficult in the long run. Any who thankfully we are halfway through the week, and I have a long weekend coming up.
Mel if you can get your hands on some Elderberry syrup it's pretty good for helping get rid of colds and such.
QOTD: Almonds and pumpkin seeds. We have 15 good size pumpkins growing so should have a nice amount of fresh pumpkin seeds to roast in another month.
B: coffee and breakfast wrap
L: pork tacos
D: fried eggplant
Have a great day everyone!!

Good morning folks! Hope y'all's day is off to a good start.
Not a whole lot planned here. We need to go get Frankie's treats and a few errands. I've got a cold my niece so kindly shared with me. It may be a sinus infection also. Just annoying.
QOTD: what is your favorite nut or seed?
Mines walnuts. Then pumpkin seeds.
B: eggs, chicken sausage with cheese and coffee
L: likely a salad
D: meatloaf and eggplant
have a great one y'all!
QOTD- Put my electric blanket back on my bed. That is all I have planned.
I can't wait for the weather to get cooler, after 103 on Sunday I'm ready for some cooler weather. Getting over 100 is an anomaly for us, and I'm ready for it to be over. It's still supposed to be in the 90's for the next week.
My clothesline works great, but the guys came to pressure wash the patio and driveway. So I used my portable one for the towels. Oh well my clothes dried and all was good, but it was too hot when I pulled them off the line.
My roommate has a phone interview on Wednesday so send some positive thoughts his way.
I need to get to work.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning, everyone!
I liked that Serena Williams was honest about being on GLP medication. I don't believe that everyone has the right to know about her health decisions, but if she is going to discuss them, I respect her for being honest. I do think it helps people who are on the fence decide whether to take action to address their own health issues.
Although I usually WFH on Tuesday, I am going into the office because I have a dentist and a doctor appointment on Thursday.
QOTD: We are going to Spain and Portugal in a few weeks.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: chicken parm
Dinner: pasta
Have a great day, all!

Good mornin y'all.
its a rainy morning here and I'm here for it. We've had 5 days of 100° weather here this year, last year it was 36. It's freakin weird! I like it though...though the increased humidity is killer.
Yesterday was a really bad pain day. I broke down and took one ibuprofen. It did take the edge off but I won't be doing it again. It was a moment of weakness. I got my appointment with the orthopedic doctor rescheduled finally. It'll be next Wednesday. They had to find an office to move to. The building they were in might be a total loss...it's pretty bad and it's a big complex.
I need to run to the post office and we might go to Ollie's.
QOTD: no plans this fall.
B: egg, feta and chicken sausage...coffee
L: maybe a burrito
D: ???
Happy Tuesday Gang. It feels so good to be back in the office and not have to deal with the scale house. I feel like I haven't gotten my work done in the last few months but made a big dent in the piles on my desk.
We found out last night that the Y will be closing the lap pool, hot tub, and fitness center starting today until Sept. 2nd. They will be draining and cleaning the pool and hot tub and then the fitness center gets a deep cleaning. I will say the Y is a pretty spic and span place. So, we will have a little break for a week of exercise which will give me a chance to do some other stuff around the house.
QOTD: With the weather slowly starting to change to cooler temps do you have any Fall plans? The only two things I would like to do is go to a Scottish Festival in September and apple picking with my daughter and granddaughter.
B: tea and breakfast wrap
L: Stromboli
D: chicken salad stuffed hot peppers
Have a great day everyone!!!

Happy Monday! Glad you all had mostly good weekends. It was scorching hot here, it may have turned our apples to applesauce on the tree. Hope it's not too late to get them to the food bank.
Hubs is going camping with our daughter and her fam for 3 days this week. I'm giddy with the possibilities of projects to do, loud music to listen to (Christmas even!), maybe even sleeping in. He'll have a great time and come back with fun stories and hopefully pictures. For me to be able to dirt camp with all the bugs would require round the clock Xanax. (I've only had it once for a procedure but it was a very happy experience, haha)
QOTD: This season- blue but I'm already pulling out my old, smaller plum clothes for Autumn!
NSV: My bat wings are back! Haven't seen them in around 10 years.
B: 2 cups Genmaicha and itbwas not enough caffiene
L: My choc/collagen/espresso protein shake.
S: a deck of cards size piece of Hermiston watermelon.
D: 3 Oz chicken breast, 1 sautéed zucchini.
LS: 1 c ff Greek yogurt w/a sprinkle sf Jello powder.
Good afternoon all and Happy Monday,
This weekend was fun but I pushed my body too hard. I slept 9 hours last night, which is unprecedented nowadays. Also, rare these days, I danced four hours and stayed out until 2am.
QOTD- Yellow.
B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, peach, coffee with pp
L: 1/2 Subway BMT pecking at the bread. Flan. Wasn't planning on it but an old lady made me promise to eat the whole thing. I don't want to let little old ladies down so...
D:Nigiri, sashimi, and Edamame.
HW: 371 SW(8/9/21): 324 CW: 208 lbs 0 lbs til goal of skin reduction surgery. I'm still looking for a new plastic surgeon.

Good morning, everybody!
Today is a recovery day after the race yesterday. I feel pretty good, nothing hurts, I'm just tired. Tonight, I will jus****ch TV and hopefully, tomorrow night I will be able to go back to CrossFit.
With the end of the race, I'm going to slow things down for the next 8-9 months. Work has got more difficult over the last few months and I feel like I need to bear down to get through the lion's share of my remaining time. So just work and CrossFit during the week and no new travel except for Florida.
QOTD: Black, Blue and Grey. Typical Accountant, I guess.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: steak and salad
Have a great day, all!
