Good Monday morning gang. We had a really productive weekend. Pretty much finished the rabbit hutch, Irvin just has to add handles to the big doors. We spent 2 hours both Saturday and Sunday at the Y. The nice guy who was in charge of the workout area showed me how to use the treadmill since it is different from the one I have at home and then he showed Irvin the different weight machines. After we worked out for a half hour I hit the lap pool and he hit the steam room and sauna then came to the pool.
My doctors appointment went well last Friday. I had even lost 4lbs and all of my bloodwork except for vitamin D and B came back great. My ferritin even went up from 61 to 76 I started adding in a daily capsule of freeze-dried grass-fed beef liver and I think that has helped with my Iron and ferritin. I go back in 4 months to see how my progress is doing.
QOTD: Do you ever stop what you're doing to take 5 or 10 minutes to just relax or meditate? Yesterday afternoon I was outside doing some yard work and decided to pull my blanket out and just sit for 10 minutes sucking in the sun and listening to the critters.
B: coffee and egg and ham wrap
L: salad with cottage cheese
D: grilled pork chops and steamed zucchini
Treadmill and then swimming. Really glad the Y is open until 9pm during the week.
Have a fabulous day everyone!!!!

When I worked night shift one girl's mom called and asked if her Cindy had a pillow and blanket. I knew they slept but did not know about the blanket and pillow. We never had anything back up while they were sleeping and they did get everything done when they got up .
I guarantee those people have been sleeping on the job and got away with nothing going wrong. They probably won't get fired over it.
QOTD: Nothing special but I look forward to every day. When you reach 77 you treasure every day. Even the cold rainy ones.

I could go on and on and on about that issue. Our governor was out of state as was a senator(he was in Greece). The senator was also awol during the cold weather issue you mentioned. It's mainly ineptness...incompetence and so on. They are so worried about following an ideology than actually serving the people they were elected to do so.
The Cajun Navy is awesome!

Good mornin menu folks!
That sounds crazy Jennifer! I'm glad they are ok but geez you'd think they'd have a brain about it all.
Today we're going out with my aunt for thrifting and lunch. I think they are wanting to go to Blue Sky for lunch.
Yesterday was HECTIC. The kids never ever stopped talking from the get go. Nonstop gibberish lol. They are constantly trying to "roast" each other. It's comical but man are they harsh. They fought a lot too. Of course. I was glad when my brother picked em up. lol
QOTD: what is one thing in the next few weeks you're looking forward to?
I see the orthopedic doctor on the 16th and I'm glad about that! So looking forward to getting this shoulder fixed. I've also got to ask about my left hip.
B: unfortunately an apple fritter and coffee
L: prob a children's burger meal
D: orange chicken and some veggie
a few pics of things I've made. The dreamcatcher is an older piece and the other one is a belt I'm working on for my boss(the bottom one) and it's going to end up with things inbetween them that my boss will do. The other two are memes of course!
Good Morning Gang. Another week in the books and it went rather quickly.
Yesterday turned out to be a very interesting day at work. While in the scale house I heard all sorts of chatter on the 2-way radio that we all have so we can communicate things to each other. At 11am I called into my purchasing person to ask her what the heck is going on in the plant. She told me that on the night shift the APO took a 2 1/2 hour nap and neither the acting SS or PO woke him up to go check on the conveyor. The conveyor takes what is leftover from burning the trash and sorts it into either the ash loadout area or metals area. Well long story short there was a huge plug that stopped the conveyor and backed up the expellers which almost took the plant offline. The APO was woken up and he and the SS tried for an hour to unplug the mess, but they just made it worse. And the icing on the cake neither one of them were tied off or in a harness while doing this. They were over 10ft in the air on top of an unstable mess of ash and metal. How they are not fired is beyond me. They broke so many safety and environmental rules. Since I have access to the camera system I was able to see everything.
I have an appointment this morning at my bariatric doctor so have to get a couple of things done at work quick before I go there.
QOTD: If someone has one please feel free to add it.
B: coffee and 2 soft boiled eggs
L: salad with cottage cheese on top
D: baked fish with steamed zucchini
Swimming at the Y.
Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!!

What is it about Texas that has made it's citizens so badly treated in recent years? I'm still mad for you all and the way the power companies treated their customers after that damaging cold spell a few years back. Now this horrendous floor...oh my, the heartbreak of it. I think I'm going to be donating to The Cajun Navy...seems they are always quickly boots on the ground and really people.
Hi all. Your meals sound good and give me great ideas. I haven't felt up to my usual cooking since starting Contrave but finally realize I actually do feel great and poor Hubby has really been neglected without complaint since May. It wasn't much effort but I defrosted cabbage rolls and shucked corn for his supper last night. He was so pleased to have a real meal that he not only un- and re-loaded the dishwasher, voluntarily took out the compost container and watered my pot ghetto on the patio. That was sweet but I feel so guilty.
Your swimming sounds heavenly, what a great facility and I bet after your training it will be a whole new kind of fun for you two. And kudo's to Irvin on that rabbit hutch, that looks like a very practical design.
Wish I could send you some of our weather. 85 degrees, a few clouds and a nice breeze. My PT lady is out sick today so I'm going to flit out and replenish my fat free cottage cheese stash.
Saturday is the 8 wk weigh in and I think I'm in a plateau but that won't prevent me from eating as clean as possible today and tomorrow. Prob. 2 meals a day and one snack. My usual shake for breakfast; dinner will be chicken breast, 1/3-1/2 cup whipped nf cottage cheese, cucumbers and the snack may be a hard boiled egg or a Fairlife shake. And LOTS of water, hahaha.
Edit: Forgot the QOTD! I color code the files for the house but that's it. Things like my closet and paper crafting stash are organized by their colors but that's about it.
I color coded at work and at home. My closet is organized by color and uses the colors of the rainbow. My home office has color coded folders and tags. I love to open a drawer and find everything in order and color coded if possible. It was not like that when I was a young mother. Now I have lots of time and patience.,

QOTD- I've tried but my organization skills are definitely lacking. I'm lucky if I can just get the basics done.
I'm struggling at work, I have to force myself to do anything. My wrist is aching and so is my back. I know I need to lower my desk but so far I haven't done it. It would help with the aching wrist.
I really just want to retire, if I could afford it I would quit today. Sorry I'm such a downer.
Have a great day everyone!
