Relationships are hard no matter how perfect the other person is. Knowing when to get out is a good thing.

QOTD- Nothing, sugar and milk is no bueno.
Not much going on here, I thought we were done with the 90+ degree weather, but it's coming back this weekend. At least I don't need to worry about my clothes drying on the line. In the summer I much prefer to hang my clothes outside, I love the smell and the crispness.
Ok techies out there my work computer just started showing widgets on my lock screen. It says it's 34 degrees with a cold weather advisory, Happy MLK Day, markets and traffic. How do I get rid of these? Obviously it's not 34 degrees nor MLK day. I've searched and been unsuccessful. Any advice would be appreciated. I really don't want to create a ticket to have our IT contractor help me. Yes I am one of those weirdos that prefer a pristine home screen, no icons no shortcuts...
I need to get to work.
Have a great day everyone!

Good mornin y'all.
My appointment this morning was canceled due to the building being flooded with six inches of water. Ugh. Wanted to get that out of the way! We'll see when or if it gets rescheduled soon.
I am feeling very rough. I don't want to do anything. I'm thinking we'll go to Sam's. I'd rather stay home but my mom is getting stir crazy
QOTD: I've never had one so nothing lol
B: egg, cheese and a pita half. Coffee
L: ???
D: burrito.
Good morning, Matt and everybody!
Hope that you enjoyed the concert last night and that it was a good distraction. I like the United Center as a venue: comfortable seats, lots of food options, and a little easier to get home from for those who live in the Western Suburbs. We had Blackhawk's season tickets for many years.
I'm headed into the city right now, and for some reason, the heat is on in my train compartment. I'm not minding it since the boys keep my house so cold that I have to wear a coat to watch television at night.
QOTD: I don't know if I've had a Klondike lately. Is it real ice cream? I dump pretty quickly on real ice cream. I can eat the fake frozen treats.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: meatball sandwich
Dinner: steak
Have a great day, all!

Good morning all and Happy Humpty,
I broke up with Paula. It's for the best, despite me questioning the decision. I have found myself in a quagmire of life at the moment. Lots of reflection, and much growth ahead.
Last night, I did some self care and treated myself to the nine inch nails concert at the United Center. Tickets were a fraction of face so I scored good seats.
I'm currently on my way to the doctor. It should be routine. The rest of my day is blocked in 15 minutes increments with a spare fifteen minutes weaved in.
QOTD- What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
Steps: 10,460
B: breakfast in the car - premier protein shake
L: Italian beef in a bowl w sweet peppers and hot oil. Carrots sticks and cauliflower. Salad
D: Rib tips and Cole slaw.
Have a great, productive day all!

Opps I forgot the rest of the QOTD!
I'd open an animal sanctuary. That's my dream. Buy a piece of land and run a non profit sanctuary where people could volunteer and that sort of thing.
I dont play the lottery so it is not something likely to happen. If by some weird chance I bought a ticket and won, I would set up a foundation to help young people who are struggling with education. i also would donate generously to animal shelters. There is a man in my town who set up a large shelter and rescues and finds homes for stray animals. I do donate but would love to be able to give more.
I can see where someone with your knowledge and experience would enjoy living off the grid. I have lived beyond most material wants, but money always comes in handy.

Good mornin y'all.
Not a lot happening today. I'm hoping it stays that way. I need a chill out kind of day. Yesterday I ended up getting roped into helping trim a tree in the backyard. I over did it but **** needs to get done. Esp before possible surgery. I had a bad night due to it. I'm in a foul mood still. I did find over the weekend a bunch of lume deodorant on clearance so that's awesome in this heat.
I may do some clothes washing today. My mom is going to work on the fence line getting some weeds out of it. I just have to sit it out today.
QOTD: we've gotten some in the past but don't play all that much. Maybe 1-3 times a year if that.
B: eggs, sausage, cheese and coffee
L: what's left of the sesame chicken or a burrito.
D: chicken stuffed with broccoli and cheese and some separate broccoli.
