What's on your Thursday Menu?

Good Friday-eve gang. We have a tour of the plant at 9am and I have to run to Home Depot to get some supplies for upcoming Clean Sweep event on the 20th. When I get home I have to move a few more flats of veggie plants into the little greenhouse. I also have to see if I can find some lawn mower tires for the zero turn. We've had the thing for 10 years and it's about time for some new ones. I actually can't wait to get out and really start doing yard work. The weather lately hasn't been very cooperative with the rain.

QOTD: Would you rather do yard work yourself or pay to have it done (if you could afford it)? Even if I had unlimited funds I would still want to do my own yard work. I really enjoy being outside mowing the grass or weedwacking. Crazy, but I feel closer to nature when I'm outside working the land.

B: coffee and breakfast wrap

L: leftover Yankee pot roast

D: grilled pork chops and zucchini

30 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes on the vibration platform

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good mornin y'all.

Busy day ahead. My niece Riley has a play at 10 or 9:30. I can't remember which. My mom knows. Then we're getting our hair cut. I am embarrassed about the condition of my scalp. I have psoriasis patches up there that are pretty icky. She may not cut it but we'll see. I have hair now that's past my shoulder and I hate it so I'll be getting a super short cut on the sides with more up top. Still short but I have really wavy to curly hair when it's short so I'll leave a bit up there. No buzz for me lol. My hair has thinned a lot but I still have rather thick hair.

i need to get busy and clean this house. A deep clean. I just haven't felt like doing anything.

I start physical therapy on the 20th. Thankfully I got into the place closer to me!

QOTD: if we had a normal yard I'd say I would happily do it. The yard we have now is very very difficult. There is buried rebar, valves, buckets and all sorts of goodies. Towards the end of my grandpa's life he did some weird things. This house also has an old buried septic tank, it's filled but the valves and such are still there. I had mowed this yard for more than 30 years. Since I was 12 or 13 for my grandpa. Now I can't. My mom refuses to pay someone to do it while she is able. She will not let me mow more than 10 minutes. It does make me hurt a lot...esp now with my shoulder. If we had a small flat yard I could do more. But even weed eating kills me. Makes. My entire arm go numb.

B: homemade breakfast sandwich and coffee

L: unkown

D: chicken and a couple of potatoes

S: cashews(100 calorie pack), cheese and maybe a small latte.

Good morning, everybody!

Two days until vacation. We are basically replicating the 2024 OH trip with a different group of friends. Marilyn was telling them about how much fun we had and they decided to do it themselves. So, three days in San Diego and three days in Paso Robles. We are going to see Lisa and Roger for a Padres game on Tuesday. No Kelly this year, unfortunately.

Today is a day in the office, it's not looking too busy. Usually Thursday is a rest day from CrossFit, but I may go tonight so that I will be around when Marilyn gets home tomorrow. And I have to get everything cleaned up from my son's chili making.

QOTD: In Chicago we do our own and in Florida we have a service. I guess we will see which we like better. Since Florida doesn't have a winter it needs coverage. Rick Ross cuts his own lawn. If Matt posts, I am sure he knows the details.

Breakfast: bagel

Lunch: sandwich

Dinner: chili

Have a great day, all!!

Boo! Maybe next visit.

Good Morning! Friday-Eve...yes!!! I have a few things on my project log for today, but it's not as busy as it has been so the next few days I get to jump back into training mode for our next round of stuff. And of course, looking forward to the weekend.

QOTD: No doubt, definitely pay someone to do it.

TSS: 10 years 8 months

B: SF latte, 3 turkey sausage links, and an orange

L: Turkey and cheese sticks, yogurt and some fruit

S: A piece of fruit and yogurt

D: Shredded beef, steamed mixed veggies, and 2 mini York peppermint patties

Have a great day!

I always loved mowing and taking care of landscape, flowers and garden. Can't do it anymore and miss it.

Today, I'm focusing on having a better mental day. I'm going to clean the house and get it ready for my mom to move in. While I work, I'll be listening to a pro wrestling podcast--one day, I hope I get to see my brother wrestle in person.

Meals Today:

• Breakfast: Spicy Mango Yogurt Dip

• Lunch: Sweet & Spicy Pineapple Chicken Lettuce Wraps

• Dinner: Chili-Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Question of the Day:
I like doing yardwork--it's a good workout and helps clear my mind.
