Good mornin y'all.
lots todo today. Some house prep and checking on things. They are now saying we'll get some ice then heavy snow. Now upwards of 12". So we're going to add some insulation to the spigots outside. We have three. Make sure the basement is ok and turn up the stove down there. Texas is not made for this. We're more prepared because our water lines are deeper but south Texas is in trouble. Just saw Amarillo is in the 12 to 18 inch prediction on the map. Holy shiiiit.
we have to get some groceries. Cat food and some dog treats. I need to stop with the steel cut oats. It spikes my BS to high. I was sooooo hoping they'd be ok as I do like oats a lot. So no more. Need to figure out something different for breakfast. I might get some kale or Swiss chard to do eggs in. A friend fixed it for me and I loved it. You put a leaf down and fry an egg in it. If I can find it I'll get chard but I'm betting I'll find it. I need to spice it up a bit. Any ideas?
QOTD: I should drink more protein. I am struggling with it. I just don't like chocolate so much and it's all I have. I love premier protein the most. I usually almost always do premade. I have some unflavored isopure so I may up using that in yogurt or something.
B: oats and coffee. Oh and an egg
L: we're making enchiladas but I am unsure if it'll be dinner or lunch.
D: see above.
Happy Friday Eve Gang!! Well yesterday turned into a crazy day at work. The quarterly random drug testing roster that was sent to the plants had all incorrect information on them. I've been working with the other Ops Specialist to get things all sorted out with Fleetworthy the third-party company that sends out the randoms. Then we sent one of the plow trucks to have and exhaust leak fixed, but the garage only half fixed it. It almost seemed like the leak was worse. You wouldn't be able to drive the truck for more than a few minutes the smell was so bad and we need it before the big storm this weekend. Hopefully the garage can get it fixed.
QOTD: ready made or powdered protein which do you prefer? I like them both. Premier Protein is my go to for premixed shakes and Isopure is what I use when I want to mix the shakes myself. I do use the premixed ones to make pudding at times.
B: just a protein shake with collagen powder added
L: Shrimp Lo Mein
D: air fried chicken thighs
water aerobics at the Y tonight
Have a great day everyone!!

They are saying mostly snow for my part of Texas. If we do get ice we should be good. We don't have a generator but our heaters are all gas and don't need electricity. So we'll stay warm at least. We bought big packs of batteries just last week and have our phone chargers out to keep ours as charged as possible.
i'm really worried about the folks in the Permian Basin, east Texas and the northern hill country. Their water lines are not as deep as even ours. Their cold will hit us very hard though. Saturday a high of 10° is forecasted.
my body is protesting already. Thanks so much for the advice! We do need to get some water incase it's needed!
Mel I've been watching the weather and it looks like Texas is really going to get smacked with ice. Make sure you and your mom have plenty of water, batteries for flashlights, maybe the night before if you have a bathtub fill it in case you lose power. Do you guys have a generator by chance?

I know it was just disappointing. I am more positive about it today.

Good day everyone.
we have an appointment to get switched to fiber today. It had to be rescheduled from last Saturday.
I'm just kind of floating along. Nothing big happening and it's kind of nice tbh. We're expecting upwards of 10 inches of snow this weekend. I'm looking forward to some at home time.
do y'all have any coffee alternatives? My mom is really struggling with caffeine and even decaffeinated is kind of bothering her.
QOTD: I like broccoli and cauliflower a lot.
food is a little unplanned. Breakfast wa steel cut oats. Lunch might be a burrito and dinner will be enchiladas.
February 12th isn't that far away. It's better than having to wait until May.

Good Wednesday morning gang. Boy is it cold this morning. It was zero when I took the dog out and fed the rabbits. I felt bad for Meisha because after 5 minutes she kept picking up her feet one at a time so needless to say she never went potty. I put some mushers secret on them, but I'm not sure how much that helped. If she wouldn't be such a baby about putting booties on I would get some for her. Saturday the high is supposed to -20 due windchill. Not looking forward to that day.
Should be quiet at work today not much going on that I'm aware of. I think we are planning another "football party" for Friday for the Patriots. Hopefully they beat the Broncos and head to the Superbowl.
QOTD: When planning meals what's some of your go to vegetables to incorporate with a protein? I love most all vegetables, but I know some like corn and peas are high in carbs and sugars. I mostly eat Swiss Chard, spinach, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, Bok Choy and romaine lettuce.
B: coffee and 2 scrambled eggs with1 slice of cheese and deli ham
L: yankee pot roast and french onion soup
D: air fryer chicken drumsticks
I have to double check the Y schedule, but I think tonight is a water aerobics class we want to take.
Have a great day everyone.

Late post for me today.
my appointment with the rheumatologist was rescheduled for February 12th. None to happy with it.
they are saying we're going to have a major winter storm this weekend. So we'll get some groceries tomorrow or Thursday.
QOTD: a recumbent cross trainer. The PT place has us ride one at the start and I love it. It does bother my arm and elbows but it's easy on my legs and hip. Wouldn't mind a recumbent bike either...used to have one but it broke.
B: steel cut oats and coffee
L: spinach and sausage puff pastries
D: egg, toast, ricotta and artichoke bruschetta.
S: PB, crackers with cheese and a skinny dipped dark chocolate PB cup.
hope y'all had a good one! It was great to see you posting Geminidream!
Good Tuesday Morning Gang!! We are heading into cold snap with temps in the negative numbers due to wind chill. I can't wait until Winter is over I just don't like the cold.
So, I have a co-worker who wants to purchase processed rabbits from me. He's looking to get 15-20 rabbits a year. Looks like we will be getting a few more breeding pairs. That way we have enough rabbit for us and to sell to a couple of people. Irvin is already planning how he's going to set up some more hutches.
Not much going on at work. I sent out the emails about upcoming trainings. We did have to terminate a crane operator due to poor attendance so we will be posting that position. We are up to 4 open positions which is rather unusual, but things happen
QOTD: If you could have one piece of exercise equipment at your house what would you pick? I already have a treadmill which I like, but I would like to have a recumbent exercise bike. I started using one at the Y and it's pretty comfortable.
B: coffee and breakfast wrap
L: leftover fried chicken
D: liver and onions
Today is going to be a weight training day at the Y.
Have a great day everyone!!!
