What's on your Wednesday Menu?
Happy Hump Day Gang!! I done wore myself out yesterday. Didn't leave wor****il 5 due to issues in the plant and for whatever reason we had a ton extra trucks come in later in the day of course I couldn't just leave with no one to cover the scale so I stayed. Got home and weighed out all the ground pork 23lbs of it. Didn't make it to the Y there just wasn't enough time. Irvin put a fan in the big hutch for the rabbits due to the heat. He spoils the crap out of the animals.
I tried the RYZE mushroom coffee and honestly it wasn't that bad at all. Tastes nothing like mushrooms or coffee it's kind of like a creamy tea very unique. I'll continue to drink it.
QOTD: With Fall quickly approaching I start thinking about things to bake which do you prefer apple pie or pumpkin pie? I make both and like both, but I do like apple pie just a little bit more than pumpkin especially with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top or a slice of really good cheddar cheese.
B: RYZE coffee and 2 egg bites
L: 4 chicken salad stuffed jalapeno peppers
D: butter chicken
Skipping exercise today as I have a few things to do tonight at the house.
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!!!

good mornin y'all.
It's been a rough night for me, my upper right arm and shoulder are swollen up and super super painful. The contrast they injected leaked out of the joint more so than expected and it's causing those pains to be worse. Having a hard time lifting my arm too high. The results weren't great. There is no rotator cuff tear but there is other serious things.
the results:
There is a tear of the posterior superior and posterior inferior labrum, with a 3 mm
elevated flap (series 2 image 43, series 5 image 91, series 4 image 73). No other labral
tear or SLAP lesion is seen. No paralabral cyst is identified.
There is no glenohumeral arthropathy, subluxation, or dislocation.
There is prominent acromioclavicular arthropathy for a 44-year-old patient, with joint
space narrowing, cortical irregularity, subchondral cyst formation, and mild spur
formation. There is anterior downsloping of a type II acromion narrowing the
acromiohumeral interval to 8 mm.
No fracture is seen. No other osseous or soft tissue abnormality is seen.
IMPRESSION:
Tear of the posterior superior and posterior inferior labrum.
Prominent acromioclavicular arthropathy, advanced for age. Anterior downsloping of the
acromion narrowing the acromiohumeral interval.
No rotator cuff tear is seen. There is mild atrophy of part of the superior half of the
subscapularis muscle.

it is what it is.
Not sure what the plan is for the day. We had a water main break just a house north of us. We didn't have running wate for 6 or so hours. Might lose it again today because I'm not sure if they finished all the way. I'd like a rest day today but that remains to be seen.
Glad to hear about the Ryze drink. I hope you'll continue to let us know how it does!
QOTD: I'd rather have a buttermilk or chess pie. Lol if I had to choose one of them it'd be apple with a Dutch crumb topping.
B: egg, feta , corn tortilla and coffee
L: ????
D: I'm thinking a chicken breast shredded into half a pita.
Good morning, everyone!
There was some sort of administrative mixup, so I wasn't able to get my extraction yesterday. They rescheduled it until Thursday morning. My son and I are going fishing Friday through Sunday and are driving up Thursday afternoon. I told him the good news is that we won't have to drive in the dark, but the bad news is I will probably sleep the whole way up there.
This is unscientific, but I estimate that I now have 100 in office days left. There are 59 weeks until retirement. Even with a three day a week base, when I figure in vacation, conferences, office closures, a couple of weeks of work from Florida next winter, and a tailing off of in-office next summer, I think I'm right around 100.
I plan to stay on a fairly normal schedule through next May, I have a number of work and personal trips next June, and then probably only go into the office on an as- needed basis July-September.
We have Happy Hour tonight, but it will be low key with my extraction tomorrow morning.
QOTD: absolutely Apple.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: Tortellini
Have a great day, all!

I think that cheese on apple pie is an East Coast thing, I grew up with it as well.

Good Morning! Well I am at work since I chickened out asking for the day off but realistically I need to meet with my team today since it's a little quieter this week it's good to set the time aside to touch base and set (reset) goals and what-not. I also do have a few takeaways from the meetings I had yesterday so it's all good.
QOTD: I think between the two I would lean towards apple as well. Cheese on top? that intrgues me a bit.
Today's menu is the same as Monday and yesterday, exercise done and I'll get in my vits and water.
Let's make it a great day!
I think the cheese on top might be a New England thing or as my mom would say "an old Swamp Yankee thing". It has to be a really good extra sharp cheddar cheese. The taste of the apples and the cheese together is so good.
Good Morning Jennifer and Menuers
Sorry you missed the Y yesterday Jen. I hate not having time for exercise. I do walk a mile with the dog every day and I am faithful to the gym Saturday and Sunday. I just wish there were more hours in my day. I am happy today because I have been detoured on my way to work since April and they finally opened up the road. It is a small thing but it was such an inconvenience.
QOTD: I guess apple We used to have a restaurant that served it warm with cinnamon ice cream and it was wonderful. It closed last year and I am not sure where they have cinnamon ice cream anywhere else. I guess I could get a ninja creamery if I really wanted it.
Accountability: Yesterday was good.

B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
