Thursday:
We are having another heavy snow storm, i did go to work and i think i'll be able to work the full day although it will snow around 6in i believe. i will stay up on the MTA transit service and if there's any shut downs or service changes due to snow, but honestly if the snow total stays around 6in, i think the service is going to stay regular...
so basically, i'm planning to work the full day...and bed early...really...
i must stay in touch today with the warehouse workers who have the key to close the gate to my office...i cannot leave / must notify them to close the gate..and make sure they are here when i leave...
this is about it for today.
work actually has been busy all morning :) can you believe it!? doing lots of things that just came up, within this morning! seriously didn't think i'd be busy..
Eats:
wrap whole wheat with ricotta 220, coffee 30 x 2...kombucha earlier 300...
snack banana 150, later couple candies 50.
looking forward to an early noon lunch: leftoveres from yesterday's warm spinach salad with ricotta nice amount 200/ pancetta just a little bit seriously 50 / ****ake....part of a small roll leftover 100 fruit plum 50...400 still hungry...hot coffee but decaf i think, yes, and couple chocs. 50.
snack...before i go - prob chocolates...chocolates 100
1050...,
excellent, looking forward to this curry, just veggies, will add tofu at home as i have some in my fridge to add...i like to do this bc otherwise i don't get a lot of veggies when i order something with meat / tofu it is a lot less veggies...but i guess i shouldn't care as i can always make more veggies and add them into the extra curry sauce later...something to think about! it's also cheaper as just a veggie curry....ah, it's savings other way...or money rather way! it's how you think about it! ha!!
dinner: rice and chili and a big grapefruit? just wanna get home ;) skip ordering thai with my lack of funds, though, it may be nice to binge on thai veggies after coming home in the snow...so thai is a biggggg possibility..with the tofu i have at home..as a reward for a "snow day" at work! :)...why not. you only live once!...plus i can order the lunch special prices since i order before 4pm ;)
snow stopped, ordered this:
Panang curry: pastes vary somewhat from brand to brand, but they typically include dried chili peppers, galangal, ginger, lemongrass, kaffir lime zest, kaffir lime leaves, coriander root, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds.
so dinner: summer roll with noodles 100, fried tofu 150, veggies in curry sauce 150, such a small amount of veggies though may need to ask for like a dbl portion next time or supplement with my own, later I had some kombucha 50, wafers 150...600....
1650...and a chocolate just hungry 50x2
1750.
bed early.
Friday:
Upper body only....so thankful on Wednesday i got full body out of the way - workout ended late but thankful it's now completed and friday is upper only...!
prefer to relax Fri night by starting taxes, but nervous that i will get no money back this year... but seems a workout is in store :)
no extra cardio - have a strength workout already in.
Saturday:
sleep in / reading in the AM?
Leave apt at 12:30pm for 1:30pm Friend's 40th drive by party, already bought a very inexpensive sparkling chanpagne and also an amazon gift card to make up for the really cheap champagne which i'm debating keeping for myself, actually....YES?
3pmish maybe earlier: if it's walkable outside, walk at Valley Stream park on the way home from the drive-by party....would be nice to walk at one of my long-time favorite places since childhood.
5pmish: Buy veggies for stiry fry on way home from LI - do this in Valley Stream as i'm already stopping there to walk..buy veggies after..? (red / green peppers, baby bok choy?, eggplant?, little bit of carrots, i have onions that i totally forgot to pay for / take out of my bag at the supermarket! a bad accident! it was only two little ones is the reason,
8pm: Zoom happy birthday for same friend's 40th with everyone, especially since most didn't decide to do a drive-by...alright, i'll give the champagne...it'll be more worth it to drive
Sunday:
laundry anytime
full body afternoon
not gonna be cooking much, tho not sure...or cook a stir fry or any veggie dish is fine based on the veggies i mostly have at home
maybe cook my pumpkin pie, with an oreo crust; cook a stir fry - buy veggies on way home Satuday
Do taxes :) ....i'd like to know what kind of Money i'm dealing with this year in terms of taxes...i highly doubt i could owe very much...however, when i was unemployed for 10 or so months, i didn't have taxes taken out of my weekly unemployment checks, so, that may be quite a bit to owe...I think it might amount to $50 per week....so, ugh....we shall see how that works itself out....whatever the math is on Turbo should be right...now i need ot make sure i have all my tax documents...will start the turbo tax up but probably not file on Saturday night just yet...will wait till sometime in March...
next week - back to more of a regular schedule with workouts on Tues/Thurs, etc...
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!

When to do my taxes...a very sedentary activity......
I HAVE DECIDED TO SIT ON MY FOOT WARMER INSOLES, lol...LIKE A HEATED CUSHION!
Wednesday:
Get thru today as easy as possible, change my aggrivated mood to happy...attended the meeting last night - was ok - it was online but lasted from 7-8:30...of which my guinea pig actually lasted without peeing on my lap, unseen to everyone on zoom that i was holding the most relaxed pig the entire time. meeting was OK. heard good speakers, but it was just long....leaves me feeling tired today..i think it's just a mindgame, but what can i say...just happy to do MY WORKOUT tonight, full body, and not speak on the phone.
Full body tonight...try to stay relaxed today so i have a good amount of energy to get thru it early in the night, with time to rest afterwards, sleeping not too late :)
Wednesday Eats:
breakfast: cheesecake 350, coffee 50,
snack: banana lg 150
550...cpl candies 50
lunch: supposedly work is ordering...and supposedly my order is a tasty warm spinach salad with a little meat and cheese..looking forward if this is the case, also paid for by work...ok very fatty pancetta but it all tasted good, lots of cheese, ricotta patty flat form also, and ****ake muchrooms and ample amounts of everything! best is it was free and still even if i had to pay, a decent price at $11 for a salad that can easily be 2-3 lunches bc it had that much in it. Now i have leftovers for tomorrow...pancetta 150? just small pieces, cheese 100, salad 50, bread 250...rest of an energy drink....550...VERY filling.
snack: chocolates 100
early 5:30pm dinner before a workout: toast and melted cheese good amount of cheese and nice potato bread (from the freezer!) 350, salad with peanut dressing that coworker offered me so nice. nice man (married - so not like that!). 150. 500. gummies 150.

Assurant / Geico: Condo insurance revision...waiting on Assurant bc i need doc revised for Housing Company...
When to do taxes...a very sedentary activity...was thinking to do it when i can possibly take a day off, in April, but, realizing it's best just to take some time on any weekend closer as i am sitting around on the weekend a lot, anyways, lately, and do them...This weekend i'm slightly busy, already, but perhaps i'll be motivated to start taxes on Saturday night this weekend...
I HAVE DECIDED TO SIT ON MY FOOT WARMER INSOLES, lol...LIKE A HEATED CUSHION!
Tuesday -
Add $ to MTA metrocard...$50...hopefully before work, depending on my timing...so it's done & i don't have to think about it further! DONE!
walk partial commute home if it's not raining...or go on bike at home for short while...hopefully....yes, no rain atm or later...to be DONE!
After work, 7pm virtual meeting for Welfare club (just the name of a club, it's not related to "welfare," it's just a club for the wellbeing of it's members....grrr, never in the mood for a meeting lol; to be later DONE!
sometime after meeting most probably and not before, freeze / portion out food for the rest of the week from leftovers so that it's easy for me for the next few days of work & nothing gets wasted!
Tues Eats:
Low cal nice protein bar i realized i had at work, 150, because i didn't want to eat my last wrap as i want it to have for lunch...need more bread or wraps for work, to take from home and bring with me tomorrow rather than go to supermarket to buy when i have half a loaf already at home that i shouldn't waste..., coffee 50.
snacking: banana for health / digestion 150 ...keep me regular as it's been such a problem bc of stress/work/commute (at least i can use the bathroom on weekends, LOL)...later on a granola bar 150 also.
lunch: my chili, smaller amount 200, with a wrap 150 (last wrap at work...) and ricotta fresh 100 and new...450...maybe the rest of Friday's energy drink (stays good in the fridge...)
snack: 2:45 chocolates 150....grrr.....in a low mood, but now too low lol....easy actually to perk myself up by thinking good thoughts :) ....i'm serious! must be the long weekend that has kept me sane!
early 6pm dinner before online meeting @ 7pm tonight: white rice 250, chili 250-300, very fresh and soft choc filled wafers 200, kombucha 50...800
1900 :)
after meeting clean up my fridge/freeze meals to see how many meals i can figure out of my chili...
pack my portable battery for work....but just realized it's a phone charger size for iphone, not for regular usb...i do not think it will work for the insoles....need a different portable battery i think...need to think more about how to wear the insoles without needing them plugged into the usb of a computer, need a portable battery with usb connection....but still it's dumb because i will have wires running all the way out of my shoes...hmm....this was a bad $20 insole purchase i realize now...but i will just try to make it work, at work...and not make any more purchases on foot warming devices as i'm really out of money and really need to function at work not being cold and just work at it....and use what i have. no more efforts will be made to find anything else for foot warming going forward. totally out of funds and energy to buy anything else.
Bed early :)
so glad i dyed my roots last night...it really wasn't so terrible as i do not have a lot of gray yet....i should really not put it off until the last minute anymore, LOL.
Wednesday:
Bring my potato bread to work and keep in fridge for bread this week, will finish it up by lunch whatever i have at work now...

i'm not receiving my Old Navy $50 reward for the month of January, but i just learned it could take up to two statements to receive rewards, by reading on my own the small print about rewards on the app...so I only need to call if it's March and i do not have the $50+ rewards.
Wednesday - Call housing about my condo/co op insurance and why they need it revised!? i hope not....i did have to change something, so now waiting to get the document revised from Assurant so that i can send it to my housing...
kombucha 50
last 1/4 of the pumpkin pie...sorta ispired to make another one tonight, but, will just eat my eggs and other things i have at home and make the pie again for next week, with a different crust like an oreo crust... 320 and coffee 80...
a nice bar, satisfying, called this collagen thing...already threw it out, can't say more than its 150 cals and quite healty
healthy lunch: white rice 200, leftover thai chicken with a little ginger,, 200 my veggies 150, coffee black. 550
snacking: small clementine, chocolates 160
very bloated due i think to that TOM and not specifically my eating...will stick to something small voume tonight - McDonalds it is :).....and i'll do some of the walk home..
Dinner McDonald's 750
2050-2100.
really cold and tired today...must go to bed early...and will be happy when i can put my fully charged socks on!...update: socks have charged and i just turned them on...already feeling nice and warm and the socks are also nice and thick, but not too think...i think i will be happy..
now i see there's HEATED INSOLES..i'm thinking that would be best to use at work everyday, no? and it doesn't need washing...should have bought the insoles!?...but for now, i'll just use these socks...i may buy the insoles next...bc then i do not have to change socks...makes me want to return the other pair of heated socks...or i'll just save them at home...i should have researched heated insoles before getting the socks...might actually return one pair of unopened heated socks...
OK, will return ONE of my two pairs of the heated socks...they do work great, but i prefer the heated insoles, i think...so i can wear regular socks :) ...but i'll keep one pair of heated socks for walking outside in wintertime...so i'll return the pair i didn't open.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!

late to work, took my time in morning and went a different route, will need to leave a hair earlier tomorrow so this doesn't become a lateness pattern (it won't)

Careful in the subway...I'm hearing some pretty gnarly things happening there.
yes, it's really unbelievable what people think they can do down there!!!! thank you!
Jacky82020 on 02/18/2021:
Not much snow here, but a friend in Buffalo NY is getting lots.
Began doing taxes. Hate it! The brokerage accounts are the worse part. I’m wondering how Turbo would handle them. Thinking they would want access to my accounts which ain’t happening. I’ll muddle through as always.
Think the Feds tax unemployment, but not the states. Matt was on it for a while & was sorry he got called back so soon, Made like $1200 a week what with that extra $600. He did have the Feds withhold 10%. I have their form.
no, turbo doesn't access anything directly....will write more another time...
...yeah, i didn't do the witholding option while unemployed, i took it all...
good thing i WAS unemployed from Jan-March...so maybe that withholding will cancel out the non withholding during Covid...hopefully i get a little something back and do not owe anything, but, i'm not too sure just yet.
grannyannie on 02/18/2021:
Stay warm in all that snow!
I'll be checking out the wraps when I shop tomorrow. Didn't want to order online.
lemme know what you get!
bearcountrygg on 02/18/2021:
Amazon is really good about refunds.
totally!
Donkey on 02/18/2021:
I'm glad you were able to work and come home OK. What inspired you to get take-out? I am having one of my portions of frozen chili for lunch at work tomorrow. Oh something to look forward to!!!
my friend in Paris is what inspired ME to get takeout! she always posts her "luxurious" takeout meals and she is lucky she gets money from her father who did very well when he was working to help her support herself there. she's the one i stayed with when i went to paris. she is highly self sufficient, indeed, but still she doesn't need to ever worry about money and she regularly loves to treat herself. she has inspired me to take advantage while i can (really!) of working in the city...and order while there are restaurants around and just totally give it as a gift to myself, always, within some very slight reasoning! :)
for lunch today i am also having chili, one that didn't get in the freezer but only the fridge as i made it recently - most of the rest is in the freezer though!
tonight, i'm going to buy some spinach and heat it...and put the leftover curry sauce on it...so i'll have "free curry" tonight with store bought bagged spinach and the leftover curry sauce...planning to start freezing leftover curry sauce (as it's always so much they give!)
grannyannie on 02/19/2021:
Mmm...Panang curry. Hubby makes that sometimes and I eat if often in Thailand.
not spicy right?
grannyannie on 02/19/2021:
Amazon is great about refunds here as well.
another good perk of amazon.
