Fingers crossed for you msbelle!

I am v sore from weightlifting on Saturday and the trainer sent me a workout plan that involves me doing more squats today. I don’t think that’s happening.

Nothing~ma to you, msbelle.

I'll have the last of last week's chili mixed with shell pasta for tonight. It's been good, but I'm at the point where I'll be glad to see the end of it and have different things from day to day.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Mac’s first PT is complete. He’s in pain, so I’ve applied Popeyes and Baskin Robbins. It’s how we do.

I took the day off rather than try to go in for a partial day while I’m a ball of stress.

Now I cover myself I blankets and knit.

Wise therapeutic choices. (You can trust me; I'm a medical editor.)

As is the blanket and knitting protocol.

Also highly therapeutic.

More nothing~ma, coming up!

Thinking leftover chili tonight here too.

I discovered midway through making it that I was out of tomato sauce and ended up swapping in Bloody Mary mix, and it was terrific. I might have a new signature dish.

I’m intrigued!

That's pretty cool.

I had chili for lunch and my leftovers from dinner Sunday for breakfast, so I'm sort of at loose ends for dinner. I have some carrots I could roast. Basically, we need to go shopping, but I don't think that's going to happen tonight. I'll see if I can come up with a frozen chicken breast thing for the instant pot that doesn't involve the usual simmer sauces. Good, but... done to death by me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds great, brenda!

I have chicken soup from a can to look forward to for dinner which is fine but is not chili.
