It's a great day to be alive.

Good mornin Jennifer and all.
Not sure what is planned for the day. My mom is already acting paranoid this morning about the neighbors. It's never ever going to end.
If we're able to be home I'd like to work on chainmaille.
QOTD: I love to do it when I can!
B: deelights breakfast sandwich and coffee
the rest is terribly unplanned
Good Friday-Eve Gang. Just like typical New England today we have a nice cool crisp Fall morning and then starting the weekend we go back into a heat wave. Gotta love it. LOL My plan for today is to finish working on the conference room chairs. I have everything set up and ready to go just waiting for the sun to come up a bit more so it's a little warmer out. I'll be happy if I can get them all done today.
The instructor had to cancel last night for the weight routine, so we ended up staying home and working on other stuff. We will go tonight as he rescheduled for then. I actually got several small things done last night and then relaxed for a half hour before going to bed and slept really well. I think it was the cool weather.
QOTD: Do you open your bedroom window a little when it's cool outside? We always have a fan on in the bedroom when we go to bed, but when the weather starts to turn cooler at night, we open one window about 4 inches and let the cool air in. I think it helps us sleep better.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: salad with grilled chicken
D: grilled steak tips with mushrooms
Going to the Y. Then watching football on Prime.
Have a great day everyone.

Melody, it is so hard to be around someone who has those days. My mom did it for several years and it took a toll on her. I imagine you don't have a lot of opportunity for respite care but hope you grab every opportunity for it that comes along.
Crossing fingers you'll get that appointment in good time and that they'll help both your shoulder and hip.
It was so kind of you to donate some of your jewelry pieces to the rescue. And gorgeous photo of your kitty.
Hi, sorry to be so late in the day AGAIN. Every evening I swear I'm going to get here earlier yet it doesn't happen.
Accomplished a task I've been avoiding...canning the yellow pole beans. The garden is at a point where the plants all know it is Autumn even though we haven't had a hard frost yet. Well, except the peppers who are going gangbusters still. Tomorrow I'll get a floating row cover on them for warmth. The beans are getting tough...I'm letting the Helda make seeds and podding them to freeze to add to soups. The yellow beans are an F4 I think so no sense trying to save seeds, just wanted to get the last used up. Not that I need more canned beans, I'm the only one who eats them and there are several year's worth in the pantry.
QOTD: Not quite yet but it feels so close. When we see big clouds of those annoying gray midges I'll really know it is Fall.
Still on my plateau, le sigh.
B: my usual protein/collagen shake
L: not hungry
D: Made myself eat 3 oz lean roast beef chopped in teensy tiny cubes into a soup consisting of roasted carrots, green beans, a little onion, and approx. 1 cup beef broth. For dessert one Chocxo 'Cookies and Cream' cup. Must hit up Amazon to order more.
Hope to see you earlier tomorrow.

Good afternoon all.
its been a rather ****ty day tbh. My mom is in rare form, even for her. Yelled at me at the top of her lungs...including the f bomb. Real classy
my doctors office called and they are going to try and get me into a doctor in Lubbock for my shoulder. I also hope they'll see about my left hip too. It's really starting to bother me as well. Hopefully things will get rolling now.
i've made some things to give the animal rescue that took in Momma. A few pendants with chains and a few keychains. Will be taking photos today so I'll show y'all later this week.
QOTD: usually yes. We have a lot of "false falls" though so we get to go back and forth.
B: egg, cheese and coffee
L: Burrito and pork rinds
D: haven't decided on this one yet.
We've been rotating between the weight machines, treadmill, and lap pool. Then hitting the hot tub for 10 minutes to unwind.

Happy Hump Day Gang!! We got boiler 1 back online and hopefully it stays that way until the November outage. We have an authentic Mexican food truck coming today for lunch. I have a bunch of month end stuff to get done. Hopefully the programs don't act up.
I have to call to schedule my yearly eye exam and possibly run to Home Depot unless Karen goes instead. Not much else to do today.
QOTD: Can you smell the changing of the Seasons in the air? The other night when I took Meisha out for her last potty before going to sleep. I could smell the change in the air that crisp Fall goodness.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: Mexican food
D: grilled pork chops
Hitting the Y for some weight training with an instructor.
Have a great day everyone!!

Melody, what a beautiful piece of jewelry that is! You have skill and talent for bringing out the best in your materials.
Your poor foot! Have you had arthritis set in where the break was? Maybe that is why the changing weather makes it hurt again.
You were so thoughtful and kind to prepare so much food for that picnic, I bet it was all delicious. Since you never got thanked by the adults for all that loving effort I hope at least you got to bring all the leftovers home.
