Good morning, everyone!
I wonder if QJB is on top of this Karen Read murder trial? I haven't really been following it, but my brother in law is following it closely and has been texting us information about the case. It seems like something from a movie.
Marilyn and my youngest are heading to Florida this morning. I dropped them at the airport and made it into the office by 7:30. I am heading down tomorrow evening and will stay through Sunday. I have a few errands to do down there but, mostly going to relax and enjoy the refurbished pool.
We have a crockpot full of chili, so I can have that for dinner tonight. Otherwise, CrossFit tonight. I don't need to pack very much because I have clothes, toiletries and vitamins in Florida. Mostly just meds and electronics.
QOTD: for immediate family, definitely yes. Most of our extended family is a plane ride away though.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: stuffed shells
Dinner: chili
Have a great day, all!

QOTD: My sister said her husband came home and complained about his neck really hurting bad. I asked her what she did. She said she was watching her shows and did not want to be bothered by his neck so she ignored him and went back to her TV. If it was me, I would have gotten the heating pad, some Biofreeze, and given him a massage. Difference in people. I am always looking for a way to help and help my family and friends whenever I can,.

Good mornin y'all.
very sore today. I'm deep in pain fatigue. I'm really really tired of it.
Yesterday though was great! My mom was gone until 3 with a lunch break. It's nice every once in a while to have a day to yourself. I got a lot done. Worked out my necklace idea. Will post a pic below.
we're headed to the lake Thursday. Not overly excited about it as I can't get in the water to much due to my CGM. Plus I really don't feel like it.
QOTD: I do a lot for my mom around the house. So I do. She helps me some with that stuff but not a lot. When the kids are over I usually do the food and stuff for them. She takes care of the yard and trash.
B: not a proud moment...apple fritter and coffee
L: gonna be something light. Thinking a PP shake.
D: not sure. Probably chicken and some veggie.
Opal and the necklace. I might add another lace at the top but I'm not sold on that idea.
Good Tuesday Morning Everyone! I'm out in the scale house on this rainy day, but it's not that bad. Funny some of the drivers are happy to see me. I got in for 6:30 to make sure I got my office stuff done before I came out here for 7 and I told them I would work out here until 4. I didn't realize until yesterday that we were taking one of the boilers down for a quick repair to the ID fan. Hopefully all goes well as our purchasing person is working from home and if they need anything well I'm the back up to purchase stuff and my hands are kind a tied with me being in the scale. HA HA.
I helped Irvin put the top part of the exhaust on his dually since he was having a hard doing it himself and after two hours got frustrated. So when I got home, I told him I would help him. It took us 15 minutes and he was so happy. Definitely a two-person job.
QOTD: Do you help your spouse or family members with stuff they are struggling with? We usually help each other out with things and it always makes it easier.
B: coffee and egg wrap
L: salad with tuna
D: chicken burgers
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a wonderful day!!!

Hi all! I hope everyone had good weekend and Monday. We started the next payroll prep... yipppeeee! Em came for lunch and hung out a bit fit Father's Day but the rest was just relaxing.
QOTD: I like all kinds of fruit but I'll say berries.
Dinner was soy chorizo with net zero carb tortillas. The rest of the day was typical. Water/vits and exercise done.

The dark bing cherries that are just coming out. I pay too much for them early in the season and buy them weekly as long as they are available. Then I go to fresh peaches. I also love
fresh juicy peaches .

Good mornin y'all!
My mom has jury duty today. I'm going to enjoy the bit of time I have to myself. The couch is great and the kids love the pull out bed. They all came over yesterday. Overall it was a good weekend. My shoulder is hurting and I'm finally admitting that I have an issue with my left elbow. For around 3 months or more it's been bothering me. I swear my body is a lemon! It's just failing with a big f. I'm dealing with it ok though. The psych provider finally upped my antidepressant last time and it has helped tremendously and I am very grateful for it.
What happens today depends if my mom gets picked. If I'm home all day I'll get some stuff around the house done and work on chainmaille. I have a necklace idea that I'm trying to work out. So far i'm really liking it.
QOTD! Raspberries and I too adore the golden kiwis! So so good! I don't eat a ton of fruit. I get these Mexican ice cream bars. They are minis and have mango, strawberry and coconut with milk. Not really ice cream. Less than 80 calories for the first two and my mom eats the coconut ones. That's about as much fruit as I get. Sometimes when we go to Sam's it'll get the pack of raspberries to enjoy!
B: jimmy dean delights cauliflower breakfast sandwich, 1 tbs wild blueberry jam and coffee of course
L: thinking fish and some corn
D: will depend on my mom
The couch deterrent worked for the dogs but not the cats LOL. We are getting a nice cove for the couch that'll fit better and a waterproof pad for the seat then the dogs can get on it.
Good morning, everyone!
I had a great weekend! It rained during the race but no lightning, no problems. Friday afternoon we headed downstate for the race, it was about 3 1/2 hours. We went to an Italian place for dinner, and it was $40 including tax and tips!!
The race started at 9:00 on Saturday. Really small compared to the Chicago race. I swam the 500 in about 15 minutes, biked the 12 miles in about 57 minutes (including a stop for a freight train) and ran the 5-k in about 40 minutes. After the race I ate a donut and two pieces of pizza, I was pretty hungry between the race and the rain.
Drove home and jus****ched TV Saturday night. Yesterday I went fishing with my older son and he made pasta for dinner.
But now it's Monday and back to work.
QOTD: Mango.
Breakfast: bagel
Luunch: catered
Dinner: chili
Have a great, day, all!

Good Monday morning gang. I hope all the dads out there had a nice Father's Day. I made Irvin a beef brisket and angel hair with shrimp and lobster pieces. It was a quiet weekend because Saturday it rained and then Sunday it was overcast and I didn't feel like doing anything. Just did some inside cleaning and cooking.
This week I start twice a week covering the scale for the next 8 weeks, but I get 6% upgrade pay for doing it so that's pretty good. I also have this Friday off and I'm hoping to go strawberry picking with my daughter and granddaughter.
QOTD: What's your favorite fruit? I love all sorts of fruit, but strawberries and golden kiwi's are at the top of my list followed by blueberries and red raspberries.
B: coffee and 1/2 cup cottage cheese with fresh strawberries
L: salad with cut up brisket
D: leftover pasta and seafood
30 minutes on the treadmill.
Have a great Monday everyone!!!
