What's on your Wednesday Menu?
Happy Hump Day Gang!!! Another muggy, hazy day here in CT. I have some painting to do around the scale house today but have to pre it by sanding with sander I brought in, and they are finally getting rid of the old A/C unit that is on the outside. I had to take some pictures of the front gate to show how over grown it is and it poses a safety hazard if trucks are waiting outside the gate and someone is trying to get around them. You can't see if anyone is leaving the plant.
Other than that not much going on.
QOTD: Ice skating or roller skating? I've done both and actually prefer Ice skating even though it's cold. I had ice skates as a kid/teen and with the pond was always able to go out on it. Never felt safe roller skating.
B: just had a lemon ginger tea not really feeling hungry
L: leftover chicken burger and cucumber/tomato salad
D: Chicken salad stuffed hot pepper
Taking a day off from the Y to do a few things around the house.
Have a great day everyone!!!

Good mornin y'all.
My myelogram went ok. It was unpleasant to say the least but it's done and I already have the analysis. It is way worse than in was in April of 22' on my last myelogram. Will see when I see my NP needs me to get a copy of the images to drop off for em. I am on bed rest until noon. Which I hate....so much. My neck and shoulder are killin me.
my grandma's first cousin fell this past weekend and broke her arm. It was right at the ball point where it goes into the shoulder. Her kids all have jobs so we volunteered to have her come spend some time with us. We also are the only ones with a walk in shower so my mom is going to help her with that. It's supposed to be in the 100's today with super high humidity...yay.
QOTD: last time I roller skated I fell...a lot and bruised my tailbone. I've never done ice skating.
B: eggs, sausage and cheese with glorious coffee
L: unknown at this time
D: also unknown as i just don't know what we'll be doing.
Good morning, everybody!
This week seems to be passing at a fairly brisk pace. Today, I am in the office and Marilyn has tennis tonight, so I'm kind of on my own.
Last fall we bid for a in home dinner party. Our first chef fell through and we have rescheduled to this weekend. Our new chef seems like a Rock Star. She worked at Nobu and is doing a Japanese menu for our guests. We are pairing it with some Burgundy that I picked up Sunday.
But what we have to do now is get the house ready! Marilyn has been cleaning, sending pictures of our kitchen and dishes to the chef and trying to get things organized. I need to pressure wash the siding and mow. It should be a nice night.
QOTD: Have I ever roller skated? I feel like I've done it at rinks, but I'm not sure. I played hockey as a kid (not well), so I pick skating.
Breakfast: potatoes and bacon
Lunch: Stuffed Shells
Dinner: chili
Have a great day, all!

Good Morning Jennifer and Menuers,
Just thought I would check in. Everything is steady as she goes. I did have bariatric appointment last week and I maintained my weight for a year. However, my ferritin and B7 are very elevated. No one got back to me to tell me what I need to do to fix it. I am gearing up for my trip to Ocean City. I got 2 1/2weeks and I am trying to decide what my ****tail of choice will be. I know I will do old fashions for night caps just need something fun I can water down for the beach.
QOTD: I roller-skated every weekend in my teens. I know I could still do it, but I never got the hang of ice skating. I still to this day do not have good balance no matter what I do.
Accountability: Yesterday was good.

Good morning all and Happy Hump Day,
I moved Monday and am posting this from my new apt deck, coffee in hand. I'm so grateful to be done with the actual moving part, the last apt and landlord. This was the worst move of my life due to the moving company and my current physical health. Onward and upward from here.
I'm just starting to open boxes and identify what will go where. This is always exciting. My dog seems happy with the new digs.
I'd like to try to post more often but the daily thread isn't always active at the desired time. If no one minds, I'll start the daily post if it's not up yet.
QOTD: Neither. I don't see either materializing in my future.
B: Premier Protein chocolate, cherries.
L: Rotisserie Chicken
D: Taco in a bowl, jicama

Good idea on staying off of skates, skis, etc.

QOTD- When I was younger I lived on my roller skates. I did used to go ice skating but have weak ankles so it was always a struggle. Honestly the only reason I went was for the boys.
It's raining today so no need to water the plants. My work computer was acting up yesterday, I use the same monitors for both computers and have a switch, which wasn't working. I had a black screen, I have a backup switch but do you think I could find it? After searching through the closet and drawers I finally found it on the monitor stand, if I had just looked down I wouldn't have had to rummage through the closets.
My neighbors put a bunch of stuff out for free, they went through their attic and were trying to find homes for everything. I brought nothing home. They had a nice oak table with a leaf, but it's way too big for my house.
My roommates girlfriend asked him to move in, I'm secretly cheering. I would love to have him move in with her.
Have a great day everyone!
