What's on your Monday menu?

Good Morning Gang. The weekend wasn't too bad weather wise some rain off and on, but we were able to get a few things done outside. Got the billy goat patches back to my SIL yesterday morning and then I posted some truck stuff on FB for Irvin. He had a Chevy short bed with sidesteps that he didn't need so I posted it and had about 10 people interested. A guy from New York came and got it for $550. Now he has more room on the cement pad to work on one of his Challengers.

Three people called out of work today. More people here call out on a Monday than any other day of the week. Besides our Spring inventory of the warehouse tomorrow the week should be rather quiet.

QOTD: Did anyone watch the Kentucky Derby on Saturday? I had to put a reminder in my phone so I wouldn't miss it. What a sloppy track they had to run on, but Sovereignty beat out the favorite Journalism in the home stretch. It was a really good race.

B: coffee and slice of crustless quiche

L: Leftover pork ribs

D: pork shoulder tacos with cauliflower rice and beans in celebration of Cinco De Mayo

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good mornin y'all.

So glad the weekend is over. It was a stressful one. Lots of reasons but that won't change for the foreseeable future. My mom is having side effects from her stroke. It's been over five years but i'm still getting to know the new her. It's stressful. They also denied the cat scan with contrast for my shoulder. They gave 4 reasons all of which I've done. It's mind numbing. I was told by the physical therapist that it wouldn't help if it's a rotator cuff tear. It didn't help. I've been seeing the orthopedic doctor for 4 months(they said I hadn't even been seeing him for 6 weeks). They would prefer an mri which I can't have. It's absolutely asinine.

Today I need to work on chainmaille. We might go over to my aunts house. We're supposed to get rain all day today and tomorrow. We're under a flash flood watch until Wednesday morning. Feast or famine!

My weight is at another stall. All together I've lost 15 pounds in about 4 months. Dissatisfied BUT also grateful. It's a mix.

QOTD: no, I did no****ch. Horse racing isn't my absolute favorite.

B: breakfast sandwich and coffee

L: haven't decided yet

D: chicken with Brie (one of those breast with the filling in it that you get frozen) and carrots that I'm going to roast.

here are some pics I meant to post Friday but never got around to posting at all.

I made this set 10 years ago. I unfortunately can't get these certain jump rings anymore. It's was made for a friend who paid for it.

One of my cousins is a vet and also has horses. She used to throw a big Kentucky Derby party every year. We dressed up with great hats and had mint julips and other traditional foods. At least 100 people would come. I enjoy watching it. I was just reading that every horse running this year is related to Secretatariat.

Good morning, everybody!

We caught an early flight this morning and I'm in a taxi heading to the office. Fortunately, I was able to get about an hour and a half of sleep on the plane, so I feel pretty good. I have a 4:00 meeting, so no ducking out early for me.

Pretty much everything made it down intact, so we were able to get a lot of unpacking and assembly done. Still made time for some fun: pool, kayaking, bicycles to the beach and a few restaurants.

Our fishing trip came to an abrupt end, we called it after an hour because a big storm was coming in. I'm glad we did so because sitting out in a small boat for three, cold, rainy hours would not have been fun.

QOTD: Actually, I didn't. We don't have our TV hooked up, so I missed it. Probably the first time in 30 years. We went in 2019, and had a great time.

Breakfast: bagel

Lunch: catered

Dinner: steak

Have a great day, all!
