Happy Hump Day gang!! Halfway through another week. My physical went well yesterday. Today I have to pick up the desserts and tableware for our Christmas Luncheon tomorrow. Other than that, it should be a pretty quiet day.
I made a shrimp gumbo yesterday that came out so tasty. I haven't made one of those in several years and just had a hankering for some Cajuan food.
I'll be thinking about you Mel hoping the surgery goes well today and the ride back home isn't too bad.
QOTD: What holiday food instantly brings back memories? My aunt's coconut custard pie. It was the best I've ever had.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: chili chicken tacos
D: broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken breasts
Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi, hope your day is going well and your physical is a good one.
Wishing the best for you Melanie. You do so much for your family, don't let them push you to doing too much during your recovery.
Today I see the plastic surgeon for the last time (I think) to see how my nose is healing. Wish I was seeing him to schedule lipo and skin removal, ha.
Haven't been eating clean but amazingly still losing. The days usually consist of just ho****er for breakfast, a protein drink or bar for lunch, two proteins and a veg for dinner. Then i go off the rails in the evening: dry cereal or a few crackers, a serving of a homemade protein pudding or 1-2 pieces of SF chocolate candy. I'm trying to figure out how to space the Wellbutrin and Naltrexone so that it works better at night.
Still chugging along on Christmas sewing. Batch sewing so most projects are at least 50% done.
QOTD: I did but can't honestly remember when I figured out the truth. Must not have been that big a deal.
Just got a message that the surgeon's office flooded so they had to reschedule. Sorry about their mess but glad to have all this afternoon to sew!
Have a great day everybody.
Good Morning Gang. I'm off today and have a few things to do. One is my yearly physical that's been rescheduled a few times. Then some more Christmas shopping. I have to finish sending out Christmas and Yule cards. We actually slept in late until 7.
Good Luck tomorrow Mel with your surgery. I hope it helps with some of your pain.
QOTD: When you were a kid did you believe in Santa Clause? I did until I was 12 or 13, then one of my sisters told me he wasn't real and that our mom bought the presents.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: not sure will probably grab something while out
D: chicken burgers and toss salad
Hitting the Y tonight.
Have a great day everyone!!

Good mornin y'all.
i have a lot to do today. Clean my room, finish wrapping presents...and do some laundry. I hate prepping for a surgery. Since I won't be able to use my arm just a whole lot at first I'm trying to get things done so it won't all be on my mom.
yesterday was hectic. My brother and nieces birthday party was held here. We also made them dinner. Quite ungrateful parents...that's for f-in sure. Of course my SIL did absolutely nothing. We worked our ass off and are so sore and tired.
Still I don't have a clue as to what time my surgery is Wednesday. That irritates me. I don't get it but oh well.
QOTD: usually just making desserts for the big day. Try to relax a bit and getting things ready.
B: was a breakfast burrito and coffee...and a small slice of stolen.
L: likely something pretty easy. Maybe eggs and a piece of toast
D: ???
AI prompt pic dump!
Happy Monday Gang. Burr it is very cold this morning. It was -1 at my house with the windchill and it isn't supposed to warm up much either. I'm only working 3 days this week and also next week then I'm off for the rest of the year. I can't believe this year is almost over. Irvin and I had a great time Friday night at the restaurant. The food is always amazing there and I had leftovers all weekend. I'm hoping to go to an event this Friday a few towns away it's a Yuletide celebration.
QOTD: Do you do anything on Christmas Eve? Year's ago we would go around to the kids houses and deliver a fruit basket to them, but since Covid we've just stayed home and watched Christmas movies.
B: coffee and scrambled eggs with bacon
L: shrimp and fettuccini
D: bake chicken thighs.
I have some Christmas shopping to do after work so I'm not sure if we are going to get to the Y tonight.
Have a great day everyone!!
This was my prime rib from Friday.

Good morning.
not much happening today. My mom had the idea to make cookies this week so I MADE cookies this week. I am tired but they are done. We'll be delivering some to my aunt and a cousin then a 2nd cousin. I made chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, oatmeal, peppermint sugar cookie and chocolate crinkle. Did I mention I'm tired? Lol. I also made two pans of fudge to doll out. I have had one piece of each fudge but more cookies than I care to admit. I am stress eating.
if I wasn't sure I was going to switch my provider for mental health care before I sure as hell am now. It's such a joke. Tells me to go to church and do yoga. Mentions to me that I need to manage my chronic pain more. I just about lost it. So after Christmas I will make the call to switch. It's like he's trying to shame me for decisions out of my hands.
insurance still hasn't approved my surgery so we'll see if it still happens.
B: breakfast burrito and a snickerdoodle cookie...of course coffee
have a great one folks. Miss everyone that used to post too.
Good Friday Menuer's. Have a few things planned for the day. We are going to go see Irvin's uncle Frank who isn't doing very well. He had throat cancer a few years ago and it's come back. So we will go visit with him for a bit and then we have our anniversary dinner tonight. Not much else going on today.
The weekend is supposed to be cold with potential snow on Sunday. We'll be doing things inside. I have to finish cleaning the grow tent so I can start hanging some meat to cure. The portable A/C unit a co-worker gave me works pretty well so it should keep the tent at the right temp.
B: coffee and 2 eggs over easy with avocado on top
L: not having any need room for dinner
D: prime rib and stuffed shrimp
Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!!!

Happy Friday-Eve menuer's. The boiler repair went well and quicker than expected. With permission from my plant manager, it got the guys some pizza and cannoli's from a small Italian bakery down the road. They happen to open at 7am so I was able to go order the stuff for 11:30. It was a special surprise everyone. They have a pizza called Dante's Inferno it has soppressata, crushed red pepper flakes, and honey on it. So darn good.
I'm getting out at 1:30 today just because I still have some PTO time to take before the end of the year. The reservations are set for tomorrow and I have to stop and get Irvin an anniversary card.
QOTD: What do you miss most about being a kid during Christmas time? As much as I don't like snow now when I was a kid we would tons of snow and when it would snow on Christmas Eve it was magical. I also miss a pony I had that I would hook up to a sled so he could pull me around.
B: tea and 2 scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon
L: 2 slices of leftover pizza
D: veal and mushrooms
We'll go to the Y earlier today since I'm getting out of work early.
Have a great day everyone!!!
