What's on your Thursday Menu?

Good Morning Gang. Update on the car from yesterday. The State Police said the car was not reported stolen and there was no one inside of it. Apparently on Halloween traffic cameras caught it swiping a guardrail in Norwich. The officers think the driver was drunk and for some reason ditched it. Oddly I did not see the car there on Monday, maybe it was and I didn't notice it until Tuesday morning. They did tow it so now the owner needs to go to Troop E in Montville to get it back.

The new furnace will be here tomorrow and installed. It hasn't been bone chilling cold and I have a few space heaters to take the chill out of the air. We will survive.

For those of you who drink Premier Protein Almond milk ready to drink shakes if you heat them up in the microwave particularly the coffee and chocolate ones. They taste just like a coffee or hot cocoa. This is thanks to my husband who wanted something hot the other day instead of having a regular coffee or tea.

QOTD: What are your plans for the upcoming Holidays? I always cook a Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for Irvin and I. Some years they are a traditional dinner and other times they are whatever we feel like having. This year my brother is going to be joining us for Thanksgiving. He kind of invited himself, but that's ok I don't see him very often and he wants to talk with Irvin about how he lost his weight.

B: coffee protein shake heated

L: 3 ham, cheese and pickle wraps

D: chicken loaf and green beans

Hitting the Y and then watching football.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good mornin menu crew.

sorry I missed yesterday. It was a ****ty day. I just felt so blah. My pcp has selective hearing. He listens about the RA and lupus testing/concerns. BUT is deaf on the diabetes numbers. I saw the nurse yesterday. She talked to the doctor about my concerns. He ignored everything. I'm so frustrated. I am not a freakin moron and I don't appreciate being talked down to. I'm also tired of people in general talking to me like I'm an idiot. I'm 44 I don't know everything but come on...I know how to flipping read.

sorry about that spill.

today we're heading down to Lubbock. I have to get an X-ray. Why on earth they can't get the one from here, I don't know. So I have to go down there today and Monday, which is when my appointment with the doctor is...ugh.

we're going to hit up the HEB down there. So wish we had one.

QOTD: we're not totally sure of the semantics. We're doing a traditional meal for thanksgiving. I'm not happy as my dessert idea isn't being allowed and since I can't afford to buy it all I'm out. So I don't gaf. I'm feeling rather salty today if you could t tell...LOL. We're doing a corn casserole with green chilies. I'll be working my ass off and my brother and SIL won't do anything. Oh look...more salt. Hahhahaha

Christmas, not sure at all. I'd like to go out of town but it's not going to happen. I'd like one holiday I didn't have to do the majority of things. I even have to do it on my birthday. I should go on a strike! Ha ha. I'm hoping to maybe pasta... lasagna and Alfredo. It'd be simple for me so it'll prob be vetoed.

B: eggs and coffee

L: something down in Lubbock.

D: ?????

sorry for my attitude, I'll get over it.

QOTD- No plans, I'll probably see my Mom and order from Door Dash or something. She doesn't cook anymore and we don't eat the same things so ordering is our best option.

Glad there wasn't a dead body in the car, but that would have been an interesting mystery. Sorry too many crime shows.

It's been really windy here, so most of the leaves are down, my cats want to chase them since they are flying everywhere. More leaves than rain.

My only plans are to get my hair and nails done. 2pm for the nails and 3 for my hair.

I need to get to work. My neighbors have put out their own food pantry at the street, it is so amazing to see people that really care and are doing something.

My health insurance more than doubled, I'm not happy and I'm sure that a lot of other people are going to be hurt by this.

Have a great day everyone!

Good evening! Hope your day ended up being nice. I snuck out under the guise of picking up drycleaning and a prescription (which I actually did) but also ended up visiting Hobby Lobby's fabric department and Goodwill. Got a pair of jeans in my fav brand in size 14. They look too small but the 16's I'm wearing now are too big. Maybe the lycra or elastane is going bad on them. I'll find out when the new ones are out of the wash.

Thank you for the tip on the protein shakes, does it only work for the almond milk type? I'm going to be bold and try it with the regular type this evening for my late snack.

QOTD: Once again the MIL has taken over the holiday. A normal holiday would be nice but due to in-law things and the fact that my son is a chef, those things just don't happen. We'll be alone and I'll cook the turkey and reheat it the next day. The grands have no cousins on this side of their family so we are completely boring, I get it. I'm sweetening the deal having them decorate the tree while we just have our leftovers buffet. Might even say they can all wear their Christmas jammies too. That's pretty big talk for it only being 3 weeks away and me being on a sewing bender. Before my SIL comes over we have to do a massive deep-clean to remove as much cat hair and dander as possible. He takes an antihistamine but it only holds him a couple of hours, poor guy.

See you all tomorrow!
