Finally Friday's Menu

Good Friday morning gang. Ah another work week almost in the books. We had a nice rain last night and tomorrow afternoon we are under a first alert weather warning. High winds, lots of rain, and even a potential for a tornado. I know we need the rain, but the other stuff can stay away. I'll have to get things done quick in the morning before the weather turns.

Not much going on at work today so hopefully its quiet and I can finish up a few things.

QOTD: Do you like going to festivals and what kind? Late Summer early Fall there are all sorts of festivals going on. I like going to Renaissance festivals which I happen to have a friend from HS who participates in one here in CT. She's said anytime I want to go let her and she'll get us tickets. This year we are going to the Garlic Festival again in Mystic and in October the Scottish Festival.

B: coffee and breakfast wrap

L: buffalo chicken salad wrap

D: baked fish and steamed kale

Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!!!

Good mornin y'all.

not a lot going on. We're doing the thrift store and Walmart visit. I'm feeling a lot of pain in my shoulder. I was reading stuff about what the doctor said and It's obvious he was talking out of his rear. I know he is retiring but be honest please...truthfulness is a lost art. Anyways I'm going to write down my questions for whenever I'm able to see a new orthopedic doctor. Annoyed.

Still haven't heard from my PCP. Annoyed is my general mood this week.

QOTD: before my back messed up I did. Now I have a hard time standing/stopping. I can walk more if I don't stop but that's about it.

B: egg, sausage pita and coffee

L: chicken and maybe a sf Italian ice.

D: not yet decided.

I like ethnic festivals and trying their different foods. They will have dancers, singers, and other shows. We have them all summer, Africa American, Greek, Irish and Italian festivals. In the fall there are apple festivals and some various art festivals and of course Octoberfest. I used to watch the paper for festivals and usually attended one every weekend.

I cannot do all that walking now but have great memories.

Jen, hope the bad weather stays away from you. Stay safe.

QOTD- My favorite is the Highland Games, but being adverse to crowds I haven't been in a while. Love those bagpipes and men in kilts.

I got my tomatoes, I think I lost my mind because I now have 50lbs to can. Now I need to get the jars out and get everything ready. Plus there is football.

I need to get to work. Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi! So glad this is Friday and the roofing job is done so back to peace and quiet. I need to make cookies for all the neighbors to thank them for putting up with all of that. Hubs is slightly more peoply than me so the only stress for him was just making sure the job got done right with minimal damage. The crane driver cracked the city's sidewalk then moved a few feet off the sidewalk and into our grass with no support and sunk a giant footprint into the sod. That's going to be an unpleasant job to repair. Today I'm just decompressing from the week and getting things ready for the post-op time next week. Hoping to diy some small frozen gel packs and lay out liquid-y meals (straw friendly) besides protein shakes. The OR nurse suggested only cold liquids for the first few days.

QOTD: Haven't been to any festivals, it wouldn't be fun to go alone and Hubby wouldn't go. Around here there is always a Civil War battle reenactment around Memorial Day...that would be fun. It would also be neat to go to the Highland Games but the Ren Fair hasn't ever interested me. Pretty much everything else is just an eating or drinking promotion and that's no fun now in addition to being just too peoply for me. I do go to the arts/crafts/holiday events but don't think those count as festivals. Very good question!

B: 2 cups coffee with a tablespoon of SF Nutpods creamer in each.

L: not hungry

Snack: a protein/collagen shake around 3 probably

Evening: 2 cups chicken bone broth and 10 shrimp. Maybe some nonfat Greek Yogurt to boost the protein totals.

Hope everyone has a great weekend whether travelling or working at home.
