Good morning, everyone!
I tried to load a few more pictures from Palm Springs, but my computer only wanted to load two. Better than none, right?
I walked out of work yesterday and felt the sun and warm breeze, it was gorgeous! And I wore shirts and a tee shirt to drive to CrossFit, no coat, no sweatpants. I'm so ready for spring to get here.
The next two days are pretty busy and then the week ends with a trip to Arizona on Thursday morning. I still have to figure out where I can do 25.3. If worst comes to worse, I will just do it in Chicago Monday morning and drive to work.
QOTD: I'm not sure that I can pick a favorite, I read a lot and in different genres. Generally, Victorian British and French authors are my favorites. I love a long, multi- story novel like Anthony Trollope's The Way We Live Now.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: Jimmy John's
Dinner: meatball sandwich
Have a great day, all!

Mornin y'all!
just had the grey and white cat attack Tange pretty badly. It's been weeks and week since this has happened. Poor girl is alright but she is majorly spooked...who can blame her? So dang frustrated.
i was prescribed cipro yesterday. I should be getting a call today as to why. I was hoping to avoid it. The results show my kidneys are under distress. Who knows. I see a gastrointestinal doctor on the second of April. My surgeon on the 7th. I'm not sure what's going on with the surgeon. My pcp wants a colonoscopy but I don't know which doc with do it. Time'll tell.
Hoping to be able to stay home for a better part of the day. I do have to go pick up prescriptions but that's the only thing set in stone.
QOTD: the silmarillion is up there and from my teen years The outsiders.
B: egg burrito and coffee
L: enchilada with sour cream
D: probably the last enchilada
have good one!
Good Tuesday Morning Gang. Yesterday's weather turned out to be nice and the rest of the week is supposed to be even better. I got the rabbits all cleaned out and Irvin did the goats. Sold some of our laying hens as we just have way to many chickens. Then we can clean the box truck body out and get it ready to put the goats in and maybe get a couple of sheep. I just love Springtime. The fresh air and all the different things waking up from their Winter sleeps.
So far the outage is going well, still no call outs. I gave in and had a couple of slices of pizza that a co-worker got. It was called bee sting. It had hot honey drizzled over bacon on it. Darn thing was pretty tasty.
QOTD: What's your favorite book? While I am not really a book reader when the Harry Potter books came out I was hooked on those crazy things. Like get up in the middle of the night to read a few chapters hooked. Other than those I have never really picked up any other books.
B: coffee and egg/bacon wrap
L: chicken/shrimp chow mien
D: grilled chicken
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

It is hard to pick between a bird and a fish. Both seem such a free and easy way to exist. I lost my favorite cousin on December 31'. She loved St. Patrick's Day. They started celebrating at 5 AM with Irish breakfast at a local hall and the party was still going long past midnight.
People showed up all day. I only hung around in the evening enjoying the Irish music and dancing and all the corned beef with cabbage and other traditional foods. For some reason we always seemed to be driving home in a blizzard. The snow usually ended after that and spring began.
Looks like a warm St Patrick's Day and hopefully the beginning of good weather.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I had a corned beef sandwich yesterday, but that was just a prelude.

Good morning all and Happy St. Patrick's week,
Has everyone shaken the dust off your shillelaghs? I went to a St Pat's dinner last night with really good catered food. I have had my fill of corned beef and soda bread for the year.
My best friend and I had a wonderful time with elusive quality time. We talked for hours on end without any distractions like phones cept for a sportsball game on the boob tube.
It's beautiful here and it's going to be in the 60s. I can't wait to ditch my jacket for good.

Good morning Jennifer and Menuers,
I had a very fun weekend. I went to see a local band we used to follow in my 20's and 30's. I ain't gonna lie we are all getting old. I was able to dance and enjoy a few ****tails and see some old friends. They played at the Casino, and it was 8-11. Perfect for old people to go out and enjoy, however with losing the hour I had to cancel cycle Sunday morning. No way I was making a class after having a few ****tails and little sleep. Tonight, I have an appointment with the BMW Genius. I am going to learn how to use the park assist. I heard it is scary but since it is a feature I want to be able to use it.

I left my reading glasses in my backpack on the way home from Palm Springs, so right now they are in my closet. Please forgive today's spelling errors, I'm a little bit blurry.
This is going to be a busy start to the week, a couple of clients have projects that need to go out, plus it's mid year review time for our employees. But Thursday morning we are flying to Phoenix for Marilyn's tennis tournament. I will work remotely, but should still get some pool time in, weather permitting

Good mornin y'all.
Not a lot going on. I don't have a UTI so that's great! Hopefully I'll hear back about the other results today. It looks like my kidneys are indeed under distress so we'll see what he wants to do...if anything, about that.
It's spring break here. We got 5 inches of snow Saturday that stuck but it was gone already the next day as we got into 50's. Supposed to be 80° tomorrow! They are saying 40mph sustained winds fridays with gust into 80's. Yay.
QOTD: I like your reasoning for the bird! If only! LOL. I would say an eagle or some bird of prey. Just to be able to soar and catch drafts that let you just basically hang in the air. That'd be awesome!

L: open face sandwich and carrots
D: ???????
