What's on your Saturday Menu, RNYers?

Isn't it fun how every day is the weekend, now????????

Goooooood morning, friends! I hope you all had a good week and have something fun to do today. I felt good about how much work I was able to accomplish this week and I am happy to take the next two days completely off and have some "fun". First on my list is going outside!!!!! It has been POURING all week, and I literally haven't been outside since Sunday, except for grabbing a package off of the porch... I also plan to get back into my paper crafting. I used to be a pretty prolific book artist, but I let work get in the way and I haven't done any significant artwork in years. Well, I can't claim I don't have time, anymore! I'm also excited to finish sewing our mask stockpile.

Accountability: Ok, we need to get Grim a new hobby. He made two more loaves of bread and then two giant sheet pans of pizza last night. I had two squares of pizza for dinner, but otherwise I ate what I planned.

QOTD: What have you said you don't have time for? Are you going to start, now? Making time for art is #1 and I am excited! I also used 'no time' as an excuse to put off exercise, but I have been better about making time for that in the last few weeks. I've also found the time to learn Spanish :) ...As I write this, I realize how much I am going to hate going back to my 4 hour/day commute, but I am so grateful I am still employed, so I promise I am not complaining.

The weather continues to be beautiful here. We take our usual 3-4 mile brisk walk every morning @ 8 am, then an additional 4 walks with Justice (totaling to about another 2-3 miles).

QOTD: I should get back to doing yoga. I had been doing it 2-3 times a week before this all started and I found some YouTube videos to watch but haven't gotten my act together to do that yet.

TSS: 4 years

B: Coffee! Eggs, salsa, black beans and cheese

L: Sliced Ever Roast chicken and laughing cow cheese

D: Leftover grilled shrimp and broccoli

S: blueberry lemon pie and/or yogurt with strawberry compote and/or WW one point blueberry muffin

QOTD: Nothing exciting, but I am keeping busy doing things around my house I did not have tome to do. My house is 14 years old now so things need updating. My outside lights looked like crap. I was going to replace them but decided to paint them instead. The look so much better now!! Here is a before/after of one of them:

This week my project is cleaning up the back patio. This is even more important since we are having to spend all our time at home

Yesterday I did so well with my eating....until dinner. Ugh. Today will be better!!

Wow, that's a great upgrade :)

Great job! Did you just use spray paint?

No. Too messy and I did not want to remove the light. I just used paint and a little artist brush.

What a transformation! Nice job.

That looks great - like brand new!

LAURA - they look brand new!

Good morning, everybody!

We had virtual happy hour last night. Which means that I fell asleep on the couch at 8:30. Also, we had pizza for dinner, which was a nice treat. I had a good week eating wise and as long as the pizza doesn't stretch into a weekend long binge of eating pizza leftovers, I am good with it.

Our gym ordered more equipment for people to take home, so I have to go at 9:00 and pick that up. Its a curbside no interaction pick-up, and they wipe everything with disinfecting wipes before putting it out on the curb. Other than that , I wanted to finish my book and I need to write a long-ish email for work.

QOTD: I'm with you on not missing the commute, JB. At some point I have a lot of health related materials that I want to read but haven't had time to. I am going to try and do that. The last few days I have felt kind of busy between work, projects around the house, reading and exercise.

Breakfast: Leftover tenderloin and cottage cheese

Lunch: Bratwurst

Snack: nuts

Dinner: TBD

Have a great day, all!
