Daily Menu - 4/22

Good morning! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was pretty relaxing but went way too quickly! On Friday after work I met friends for happy hour and to watch the Phillies- it was a little grey and drizzly but the bar has covered outdoor seating so was nice under that. I came home around when Cam got back and made dinner and watched TV and went to bed on the early side. On Saturday I did some stuff around the house and then friends came by for a bit before we left for my friend's shower which was fun. It was really just a get-together, no gift-opening or games or anything, and it was super nice out so we sat outside most of the time. We got home from that around 7 and watched the Sixers and had a chill rest of the night. Yesterday was also pretty quiet and not as nice out, but not rainy at least. I ran a few errands and it was still nice enough to walk, but it was a little chilly even with a hoodie on. We got some stuff done around the house and the other usual Sunday chores, and I read a bunch and got really into a new book. We also started watching Shogun on Hulu which is good so far, and always exciting when we can agree on a show to watch! Doesn't happen often.  

Work will be busy this week. This morning I've got a couple calls after the gym and then have a virtual settlement conference this afternoon which will probably take up a couple hours. I have in-person court tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday on 3 separate cases (which is a lot of in-person considering most stuff is usually still virtual!) and have something else scheduled tomorrow morning by phone that I'm trying to get moved to the afternoon. I'm hoping none of these things run too long because i also have an appeal that needs to get done by middle of next week so hoping I can get most of that done in my down time this week but we'll see how it goes. Hopefully the week flies at least!

A: kickboxing

B: hard boiled egg and avocado in a low-carb wrap
S: apple with peanut butter
L: leftover cauliflower quinoa salad with figs and pistachios
S: pudding cup
D: leftover pasta alla norcina, roasted broccoli

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning! Hope you all had a nice weekend, mine was fun hanging out with Darlene Friday and Saturday. I drove there Friday and met her for lunch before going to her house to work for the rest of the afternoon until she got home. We went out to a brewery that had delicious food and I tasted some fun beer. The most unusual was a sour that tasted like pineapple, marshmallow, vanilla and coconut. On Saturday we had breakfast at home and then went to OC and walked around the boardwalk hitting some of our favorite bars, listening to music and playing Keno. Of course, we went through the haunted house which is just a blast. We took the bus later to go up to Seacrets for a bit and then to dinner before returning back to the car. Yesterday I drove home in the a.m. since Darlene went to church. At least I felt like I had some downtime yesterday before starting the new work week.

Last night before bed, Cody showed me that he has a rash of different size bumps all over his mid section so after my meeting this morning, I'll take him to urgent care to get checked. My coworkers think it could be Pityriasis Rosea, we'll see. Hopefully he can go to school after, and I'll come back to the office. I need to get Brandon's work schedule so I can plan out a couple dinners. Wednesday night, James and I are going to the Nats game in DC! Looking forward to that.

Hope you all have a nice Monday.

B: cottage cheese with blueberries and sunflower seeds
L: macaroni salad with added tuna, veggies and HB egg
D: TBD - if Brandon's home I can do oven baked pork chops. If it's just me & James I may check the freezer. He thinks he'll be home late
Exercise: mixxedfit at home

Morning,

We had a nice weekend overall. Weather was on the cool side, but Sunny. Today should reach 60 degrees, definitely want to get outside for a bit.

Pretty quiet week for me, I have Dinner plans on Thursday with former coworkers, nothing else. Need to tighten the belt, lots of food and alcohol these past few days...ugh.

Tomorrow, Matt has a Colonoscopy at 7:30a. So I won't be posting. He wants to go out for Breakfast afterwards, since he won't be eating much today.

Treadmill workout soon, then I'll go pick up my groceries.

Here's my plan;

B = Coffee with SF Creamer
Lemon Triple Zero Yogurt with frozen Blueberries

L = Probably a Turkey Sandwich

D = Leftover Skinnytaste Chicken and Noodle Bake 

See you all Wednesday ~

I was able to get to the chiro Friday after work. Had to do things a little differently to accommodate the shoulder but what a relief. Mani Saturday at 9.

The charity ball was wonderful. The cocktail "hour" was over the top as usual and worth every bite. Unfortunately, Keegan (the special child this year), was starting to have a meltdown early so they moved the presentation of the gifts up before the dinner and the family left shortly after. He did manage to make it smoothly through the presentation. The district child made it through the entire evening. And Carol and I won a basket! First time ever! Worth $700 with 7 bottles of Napa Valley wine and a couple of gift certificates. That was the average value of the baskets this year. People are very generous to the ball. Got home at 1, to bed at 2. Up at 6:30, fed the ferals, played with Lily. Took a quick nap and headed to acupuncture. One of the best sessions ever. I was able to walk Lily well over 2 miles after. Went to Marge's mid afternoon to take her for a manicure. She finally saw the nurse and had PT. She has chemo today, tomorrow and Wednesday and then PT Thursday and Friday.  Finally!  Landscapers were supposed to come yesterday to do spring cleanup including turning the garden but didn’t show. Hopefully this week. I'm going to have to go smaller this year.

S - Usual coffee
B – Full frittata breakfast
L – Steak Caesar salad
D – Salmon burger on a lite EM with lettuce and tomato, French green beans
E – Walking and stretching
