Good mornin y'all.
its a rainy morning here and I'm here for it. We've had 5 days of 100° weather here this year, last year it was 36. It's freakin weird! I like it though...though the increased humidity is killer.
Yesterday was a really bad pain day. I broke down and took one ibuprofen. It did take the edge off but I won't be doing it again. It was a moment of weakness. I got my appointment with the orthopedic doctor rescheduled finally. It'll be next Wednesday. They had to find an office to move to. The building they were in might be a total loss...it's pretty bad and it's a big complex.
I need to run to the post office and we might go to Ollie's.
QOTD: no plans this fall.
B: egg, feta and chicken sausage...coffee
L: maybe a burrito
D: ???
Happy Tuesday Gang. It feels so good to be back in the office and not have to deal with the scale house. I feel like I haven't gotten my work done in the last few months but made a big dent in the piles on my desk.
We found out last night that the Y will be closing the lap pool, hot tub, and fitness center starting today until Sept. 2nd. They will be draining and cleaning the pool and hot tub and then the fitness center gets a deep cleaning. I will say the Y is a pretty spic and span place. So, we will have a little break for a week of exercise which will give me a chance to do some other stuff around the house.
QOTD: With the weather slowly starting to change to cooler temps do you have any Fall plans? The only two things I would like to do is go to a Scottish Festival in September and apple picking with my daughter and granddaughter.
B: tea and breakfast wrap
L: Stromboli
D: chicken salad stuffed hot peppers
Have a great day everyone!!!

Happy Monday! Glad you all had mostly good weekends. It was scorching hot here, it may have turned our apples to applesauce on the tree. Hope it's not too late to get them to the food bank.
Hubs is going camping with our daughter and her fam for 3 days this week. I'm giddy with the possibilities of projects to do, loud music to listen to (Christmas even!), maybe even sleeping in. He'll have a great time and come back with fun stories and hopefully pictures. For me to be able to dirt camp with all the bugs would require round the clock Xanax. (I've only had it once for a procedure but it was a very happy experience, haha)
QOTD: This season- blue but I'm already pulling out my old, smaller plum clothes for Autumn!
NSV: My bat wings are back! Haven't seen them in around 10 years.
B: 2 cups Genmaicha and itbwas not enough caffiene
L: My choc/collagen/espresso protein shake.
S: a deck of cards size piece of Hermiston watermelon.
D: 3 Oz chicken breast, 1 sautéed zucchini.
LS: 1 c ff Greek yogurt w/a sprinkle sf Jello powder.
Good afternoon all and Happy Monday,
This weekend was fun but I pushed my body too hard. I slept 9 hours last night, which is unprecedented nowadays. Also, rare these days, I danced four hours and stayed out until 2am.
QOTD- Yellow.
B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, peach, coffee with pp
L: 1/2 Subway BMT pecking at the bread. Flan. Wasn't planning on it but an old lady made me promise to eat the whole thing. I don't want to let little old ladies down so...
D:Nigiri, sashimi, and Edamame.

Good morning, everybody!
Today is a recovery day after the race yesterday. I feel pretty good, nothing hurts, I'm just tired. Tonight, I will jus****ch TV and hopefully, tomorrow night I will be able to go back to CrossFit.
With the end of the race, I'm going to slow things down for the next 8-9 months. Work has got more difficult over the last few months and I feel like I need to bear down to get through the lion's share of my remaining time. So just work and CrossFit during the week and no new travel except for Florida.
QOTD: Black, Blue and Grey. Typical Accountant, I guess.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: steak and salad
Have a great day, all!

Mornin y'all.
thursdays appointment was a **** show. They are unwilling to do anything other than push pills. I don't necessarily want surgery but it'd be nice if they gave a **** in general. Their slogan is "the pain stops here" and it's a load of crap. It had me down, still pissed but I need to focus on my shoulder healing then on to my hip. 
today is an unknown. We may head to Sam's because we forgot trash bags. I loaded up on meat and have cut back my carbs by a lot. Blood sugars are improving already. My shoulder is making it very hard for me. I'm doing small amount of chainmaille when I can. One of my friends ordered the three earring sets pictured below. They are so pretty and the cubic zirconias are so pretty with the light.
QOTD: I'm lucky that I look good in most colors. I like a cantaloupe color and blues always are good on me and make my eyes pop(they are hazel).
B: eggs, cheese and a low carb corn tortilla and of course coffee
L: ???? Prob a hamburger patty
D: no clue as of yet.
Good Monday Morning Gang!! Thank you Mkess and Mel for starting the thread last week. My colonoscopy went well, but the prep stuff plain and simple sucked. They are using a new pill and they were the size of horse pills no lie. I had to take 24 of them split into two different doses. That was the worst part of it all I don't even take vitamins that were that big.
We have baby bunnies they were born on Friday and Saturday. Not 100% sure how many as they are covered in fur from their mom.
CT had a statewide internet outage for 10 hours on Thursday which was a bummer since we stream tv shows and such.
QOTD: What's your favorite color to wear? I like a light green and have a few outfits in that color.
B: tea and scrambled eggs
L: leftover lamb and roasted potatoes
D: lemon veal cutlets
Heading to the Y for some swimming after work.
Have a great day everyone!!

I'm excited for you. You're going to kick butt and take names.

QOTD- Get my ass out of the house and walk at least 3 days next week. I can't guarantee today as it will be 101 by the time I'm done working and that is just too hot to walk in, even in the shade.
My roommate helped me to finally get my retractable clothesline mounted. Now I can dry more than 1 load at a time. But of course I don't have anything that needs washing right now. I think I'll wash my towels, just so I can use it.
My plan for this weekend is to get the light mounted in my dining room. A coworker reminded me that I shouldn't be on a ladder with no one here. She fell when she was trimming a tree and her husband didn't come out to see what happened, fortunately a neighbor heard her screaming and came to help. So this weekend it is, or today.
I've gotta get to work.
Have a great day everyone!
