Gorgeous tub and cabinets. I hope you got good news on the apartment, it looks stunning!
Hoping you don't have pumpkin guts all over your house today, I remember that mess well lol.
Have you ever gotten any relief from those little home TENS units? My PT recommended one before my shoulder surgeries and when it gets angry from being abused I drag it out again. Relief doesn't last forever but I still appreciate it. Hope your shoulder will calm down and really hope you get a call from the surgeon's office!
How do they create those agate sheets? Acrylic with ground bits or maybe a shellac? Its been awhile since I've seen any of those at my local thrift stores.
Your Tange is so pretty! How old is he? I hope we can get to know our new Feral Ginger enough to get him scanned (but he's skinny and I think he was abandoned) and maybe convince him to shred his Feral Card. He just doesn't seem as wary as the other Ferals. It would be a big surprise if it was a she.
Hope you have a great weekend.
Hi, we made it to the end of the week! We've been having light frosts every evening, glad I got in 95% of the garden. Today I have to trim the shrubs in the front and then get the peppers harvested. Looks like today is the last day in the 70's and the cold temps move in. Hope your storm isn't bad.
QOTD: None, the sequels are always disappointing to me. Tv franchise would be Star Trek and all it's spin-offs definitely. But the movies got kind of stupid.
Going to try to eat better today.
B: coffee w/FF 1/2 and 1/2, bottled protein shake
L: Small salad w/ hard boiled egg, lowfat dressing and 5 ginormous grapes.
D: An egg-bites style dish I prepped last night with 1/2 zucchini, 1 LF mozz stick, 1 Amylu breakfast sausage (can't wait till I've used those up, they are awful) and 1/2 cup Egg Beaters.
LS: another bottled protein drink. Chocolate or caramel??? Maybe the caramel and mixed with some decaf chai.
Wish I could figure out how to add a picture better, we DO have a new feral. Pretty but skinny ginger. Looks like we'll be able to gain his trust, hopefully. Then we'll check him for a tattoo or signs of ballage/deflation. We'd seen a ginger in the company of a neighbor's black kitty a few years ago so we want to see if he's a newbie or maybe was a former pet. :(
Hope you have a great weekend.

Good morning all.
We have the kids today. They are out of school. We're going to carve pumpkins...pray for us adults please. LOL
I am feeling very rough and got little sleep. My shoulder feels like I have been punched. So today'll be long.
We roasted a chicken last night and fixed some Brussels sprouts and broccoli. It was so tasty! We have leftovers today.
QOTD: LOTR for sure.
B: egg, cheese, sausage and coffee
L: leftovers from dinner yesterday
D: ????
Top of a box I found at the thrift store. It's slices of agate on a glass sheet. The bottom is steel so not pics of that. Then of course Tange..
Woo Hoo it's Friday gang!! Woke up to frost on everything. Glad I got home last night and went right out to harvest the herbs and cover the plants I wanted to keep going. We haven't had a frost this early in several years, yet a few years ago we had a very late frost the end of May that killed Peach blossoms and other fruits in New England.
Looks like we are getting a coastal storm Sunday into Monday with heavy rain and wind. Not sure what else the weekend holds.
QOTD: What's a movie franchise you can binge watch over and over? My two would be the Harry Potter and LOTR ones. It doesn't matter how many times I've watched them I still love them.
B: coffee and 2 egg bites with cottage cheese
L: roast beef and provolone sandwich
D: baked fish and sweet potato
Hitting the Y for an aqua fitness class
Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!!

Hi, sorry to be missing your posts since Tuesday. It has been a tiring few days and somehow I've got to miraculously get the house spic n span when there is no room to put anything away and also be working outside on the Autumn landscaping chores while the weather is still nice (expected to turn sour soon). Felt so down last night that I kind of binge ate on sugar free chocolate---not horribly but apparently it was enough calories that my body decided the famine is over and I dropped a little this morning. It was only 603 calories for the day but a whopping 46g carbs when my doctor said not to go over 20. I should be freaked out that the Contrave didn't take away the urges but it felt mostly like a pity party and not a pharma failure. But overall I'm having trouble keeping the carbs low this week.
QOTD: Our house is a 50's Rancher with minimal insulation in the walls so I put the heat on when it gets in the 60's outside now. But that may be because of losing weight again and getting cold so easily. I wake in the morning having dreams set in snowstorms and Hubby is as comfortable as can be.
B: My protein/collagen shake.
L: 1 cup nonfat Greek Yogurt w/cinnamon and 2 sweetener packets
D: 2 slices lowfat chicken lunchmeat chopped well and warmed in 2 T Arby's sauce, 4 big mushrooms sliced and sauteed in 1 tsp real butter
Congrats on the new great grandbaby!

Good morning Jennifer and everyone.
Not sure what today'll hold. We might do something but I'm hoping to stay home. It'll depend on my mom. We might go to the thrift store since we'll be unable to go tomorrow as well have the kids. They are out for a 4 day weekend. Riley will stay the night sometime and Randall might too. Pumpkins are at a great price so we got them all one to carve. Oh I forget that so we'll have to go get some of the tools to do it.
Still no word on an orthopedic surgeon. I sent in a message to see what's up. Hopefully it'll light a bit of a fire to it. I can hope right?
QOTD: freezing. Sometimes at a higher temp and it's wet.
food is undecided.
pics of what I donated to the rescue and a box top I found at the thrift store.
Happy Friday-Eve menuer's. What a chilly morning here in CT. I harvested a bunch of the herbs and figured out what plants I will be covering tonight. I can't believe they are predicting a freeze tonight. Not even a frost, but a freeze. The weatherman said the temps in parts of Northern CT will be in the 20's. I do hope this doesn't mean we will be having a bad Winter.
Running out in a little bit to the get stuff for the luncheon today. Other than that not much going on a work. The outage is still going well.
QOTD: At what outside temperature do you turn the heat on? We usually don't put the heat on unless the outside temp stays at 45 degrees for at least 24 hours. I know it sounds crazy, but our house was originally heated by electric and is super insulated so it holds heat in well even if it is cold out.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: cold cut sandwiches
D: leftover pot roast
Irvin is a great grandpa again. He now has two great granddaughters.
Not sure if we will get to the Y tonight since I have a bunch of stuff to cover and harvest.
Have a great day everyone!!!
