Good morning, everybody!

Marilyn's flight got in a bit late last night, so we didn't get home until about midnight. Today I am in the office, although I would really like to work from home today. I have to be in a certain amount in order to retain my dedicated office. Although I would prefer to be fully remote, if I am going to be in, I want to be in my office rather than have to hotel to a new spot each day. At least for the next 16 months or so. If they take away my office in my last year, I will just work remotely.

Tonight's workout seems like it could be spicy - 100 burpee box jump overs (20 inch) with a 15 minute time cap. I will just try and do 7 a minute for as long as I can keep that up. I suspect I may go over the time limit, though. Other than that, a pretty low key weekend. I may get fitted for running shoes tomorrow and we are having brunch with my sisters on Sunday. The weather here is supposed to be beautiful.

QOTD: We really enjoyed Happy Valley and are looking for a new series like that. On network we are watching Tracker and Fire Country. They are OK. I read Fields of Fire recently which i thought was very good. I think that i am going to start re-reading some things that i haven't read for a bit.

Breakfast: Bagel

Lunch: steak

Dinner: I have a leftover hamburger, but Marilyn may want something else

Have a great day, all

We finally made it to Friday!!! Thank god. I have meetings from 9-6:30 but the 5 and 6 meetings are with former mentees from my last company so they are personal catchups. I'm excited! My 9 am meeting though...it's going to be a doozy. It will either be "energetic" or "a complete ****show". I am banking on the latter!

Q: I am watching Top Chef and it's so good. Even though a favorite of mine got the boot this week. I am trying to read the Women by Kristin Hannah but never seem to have the time. My loan is about to end (Libby app).

This weekend should be good - I'm in DC all day tomorrow and then I have brunch with friends in Old Town Alexandria at a frou frou French place Sunday. Im getting a cheese plate!

B: rotisserie chicken from yesterday and goat cheese

L: Leftover pasta with chicken sausage, emphasis on sausage

D: tbd - likely more chicken since I picked one up at the grocery store yesterday My Giant has anemic little chickens but the meat falls off the bone and they are so delicious! I guess that's what happens when all your friend's fat is sizzling off their body and basting you in the oven LOL

Have a fabulous weekend all!

Hi gang. We're a little below zero here this morning. I declared spring already. I don't know why the weather is refusing.

I'm taking off for Connecticut shortly. Fine Woodworking Magazine and a Hartford woodworking school where I've taken a bunch of classes are having an open house. It'll be nice to see some folks I haven't gotten together with in quite a while.

Here's a couple of pictures from our weekend away in Maine. It's really hard to find identical shoes in both our sizes.

Morning y'all. Those cookies are adorable QJB!

I have a busy day ahead. I need to finally apply at the clinic...being sick for a week is for the birds. Then I have an appointment at the same clinic with my PCP this afternoon. I'm pretty sure I have good ol' thrush in my mouth and throat. Classic symptoms. Hopefully I'll get some nystatin or anything to help. I am feeling a tiny bit better. I have had a lot of low blood sugars this week. Even with cutting back on insulin. It's weird. Had a 51 last night and man did it just about do me in. My tasters off so food isn't appealing, I had to drink a regular coke just to get it going up...I need to get some of those gel BS boosters at the pharmacy.

QOTD: my most favorite song right now is Gone(reimagined) by Atreyu. As for TV, we're watching the new season of Drain the Oceans on Disney +

food is mush, I may blend some ham.

A meme and a pic I took a few years back.

Good Morning! The event last night went off with no issues. They moved it to a super secret location and so even though the protest did happen, it was on the other side of campus so I never saw them. I assume it was a peaceful protest because we have an emergency alert app and I never got anything.

I am glad to have a WFH day today. I have a few zoom meetings but I have a lot of time to get caught up and organized which feels like a dream :)

QOTD: Round up! What books, podcasts, films or shows are you watching? I have been listening to some fun fast psychological thriller audiobooks from B.A. Paris. I like them because they are short and bingeable. I also listened to a podcast called Hello, John Doe. The story was hella interesting, but I thought the way the podcast was done was really problematic. If anyone else listens to it, I would love to hear what you think.

Pics are: My cobweb broom! And some Star Wars cookies :)

So sorry that I am running a menu thread with no menu for 2 days in a row, lol. But yesterday I ate out all day and today I need to eat down the fridge because I made so much food on Monday and have been eating like 3 bites of it at a time because of my tiny meals mandate. I need to go through and figure out what is left and what needs to be frozen, etc.

Have a fantastic weekend!
