Went to the office yesterday - half the day!
Today I took the girl to her first behind the wheel driving class - 2 hours - rainy/overcast/chilly - not the best conditions. I was more nervous than she was. I left my girl with an older gentleman for driving class...alone! After they left I started thinking, I didn't get the make and model of the car or the tag number. I didn't get a good look at the instructor. My brain just about blew up thinking of all the bad that could come. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck for 2 hours until she came back. She did OK - made 3's (on everything)...except parking!! OMG she is the worst parker oh, and a 2 on turns.
Next time I will know the make/model and tag # of the vehicle they are driving in!! Thank you DATELINE!!
Sitting in my car I looked up and saw this awesomeness...This is the view from my sun roof sitting in the parking lot - so cool to me!! FIrst the smaller drops and then later the bigger drops.
Despite the rain, still took the doggos out last night - just a short walk...because of the rain.
On the way home we did spot this bunny in the neighbor's yard- Right after I took this photo it took off like a shot because of the dogs...but it was cute!
Last night I made little hamburger sliders with dinner rolls. That was all we had. I asked both DH and the girl if they wanted a vegetable...both said no, so I didn't bother!
Tonight I made burritos with the left over chicken with refried beans and cheese. Lettuce and tomato with salsa and sour cream.
Took the doggos on a short walk before we left for driving class, I will take them again after dinner...if it is isn't raining. It is only like 52 degrees - very un May like!
Have a great evening...GO INDIANS!!
Progress as of today: 47.7 lbs lost so far, only 80.2 lbs to go!
Just been super busy at work - mentally draining.
Still walking with my doggos - they bring me peace and joy...except for today...RAIN - eventhough I tried to walk them with the umbrella, they weren't having it and wouldn't budge from the garage...corndogs!
Saturday - grocery shopping and tried to menu plan with adding more vegetables. I put a kabash on the instacart for a few weeks - the last delivery I received reaked of cigarette smoke - it was so strong I literally gagged and left the groceries in the garage and walked them in by handful to keep the ashtray bags out of the house...so disgusting. If I use instacart again I will request a smoke free shopper.
Sunday - yard work and pulled weeds - legs are screaming this morning...but it felt good.
Monday - work again - got notified our new vehicle is in so making arrangements for someone to go and pick that up...joy! during the conference last week, working form home will probably be for a longer while - up until October - so I will try and adjust and go to the office as needed (once a month for computer updates).
B: French toast bagle
L: grilled chicken, cucumber, salad
D: beef and broccoli and sesame chicken with noodles - the girl wanted Chinese
Weather should clear later to get a good walk in -
Received an A1C test and will do this on Saturday to mail in - preliminary for the July office visit and blood work...hopefully below 6.0 this time.
Walking Sunday morning this yard was strange - all plastic utensils stuck in the yard - weird - would like to know the story behind this....
And Sunday afternoon we went to Indian Hollow - a favorite - everything is greening up nicely...very pleasant day.
The girl has driving class Tomorrow and Saturday and she is finished with the classroom portion.
She has actual behind the wheel training starting next week and she should be finished by the end of the month - she is doing good.
Have a great Monday! IP
Progress as of today: 47.7 lbs lost so far, only 80.2 lbs to go!
beautiful photos as per usual.
i am not up to instacart or food product deliveries yet...maybe one day...i think i still love the supermarket (going there).
Work - just OK. Virtual conferences - not my favorite. What most find funny and endearing I find completely annoying. Someone who is always the center of attention, has questions at every topic of discussion has to present and laughs and giggles and tells herself to breathe 50 times - NO! One more day of this...lord help me!
Because of said conference been waking up earlier to take the doggos for their morning walk - so peaceful and quiet - This may turn into a thing.
Heard back from job I applied for a few months ago - NO thank you! I was qualified but didn't answer the questions as high as other candidates - this is OK - it was just a shot in the dark.
Home - again OK
Eating - OK this will be better I will add more vegetables and fruit for the month of May
Blood sugar - hanging out between 120-128 - this is OK, will love to get it down more before July blood work.
Have a great evening! Drive On! IP

I like the idea of a morning walk with the dogs. That sounds like a lovely way to start the day. My cats would never go for that.
love your goal to add more veggies.
I moved out of my house for three days and had the house heat treated again...it takes the longest time to put things back in place.
I don't know where they come from - DH doesn't wear his work clothes home, I have a brand new office that I have been in less than a dozen times in 7 months.
My guess - the girl brings them from her grandma's house. The YA had that house heat treated about two months after our first treatment so who TF knows.
I clean my house - I am almost obsessive about it and clutter does NOT live there...
We can't NOT let the girl go over there (that's where she visits her mother) and where she stays when she has in person school...OMG I just don't know.
At the office today - have things to do and a new guy reports tomorrow.
Eating just ok -
back after today!
Progress as of today: 47.7 lbs lost so far, only 80.2 lbs to go!
i'm sure that the grandma's house also needs anther treatment...maybe someone needs to make that happen, like your hubby request it.
i'm quite positive it's from her mother too.
Hope the new guy works out :-)
Nothing good! I swear I am at my breaking point! I just cannot take anymore of my luck.
BED BUGS!! I am beyond disgusted. What in the holy hell....We had this nightmare before and looks like I won the freakin' lottery again! Aren't I the lucky one!
I just can't deal with too much more.
This morning getting ready for work I was sitting on the comforter and looked out of the corner of my eye to see one walking across the top of the bed. Are you kidding me?? I was too afraid to lift up the mattress. I will wait for DH to get home so he can see them too. The girl said she might have seen eggs at the foot of her bed frame. Again DH can go in and look, I just cannot deal with it right this minute.
Snow in April...4 inches of snow in April. NO!
I made lasagna last night, it was just ok. I used the oven ready noodles - yeah, probably won't again, they seemed gummy and not cooked all the way, salad and garlic bread.
Blood sugar this a.m. 136 
B: french toast bagel, vanilla iced coffee
L: left over lasagna
D: bratwurst and corn - more carbs life 
....maybe girl brought them from her mother's house!?!?!?!?
Weekend was tolerable - it was really ok - just personal things.
Walking and all of a sudden this smell comes over me and takes me back to places I'd rather not be...simple green! A neighbor around the block apparently was taking a bath in it - using it to wash his dirt bikes...and I was living in a tent in Saudi Arabia with sand in every crack and crevice of my body, not so pleasant.
I walked the dogs - twice a day as usual.
Washed clothes, walked the dogs, cooked dinner & baseball!
This Monday morning was filled with conference calls and meetings and was horrific...morning walk was late and shorter than usual, but it is done.
B: egg, cheese omelet with the sausage strips, vanilla iced latte
L: left over chicken
D: I think I'm making lasagna not certain yet
Here is a picture of some tulips (a different breed) but I've been waiting on them to open for a few days...Purple
Blood sugar this a.m. was 127 would like to get it down a bit lower for a week or so.
I haven't logged food in awhile but when I did this morning, I creeped back up into the bad habit category and had almost 700 calories for breakfast...damn iced vanilla latte!
Girl progressing with driving! Proud of her.
Have a great day! IP
Progress as of today: 47.7 lbs lost so far, only 80.2 lbs to go!
it took me a LONG TIME to get into driving. longer than friends. maybe bc i didn't practice much with my parents? but also bc it sometimes takes me longer to get the hang of it. i'm so glad girl is doing well!
beautiful purple leaves.
Crazy work yesterday - when one office stops doing something for our region and it passes to someone different - makes for many different work plans and doing things over - guidelines and rules are different - but we're all the same organization so who knows...just frustrating.
Passed on the potatoes for dinner - had salisbury steak, brocolli and a salad. Took the doggos for a walk after dinner and then ate ice cream.
This will be stopped. My blood sugar the last two mornings have been 138 & 140....ice cream, bread and potatoes!!! ALL EVIL for JoAnn.
This morning I took the doggos on a longer walk...I think I like conference calls - especially when I only have to listen and not participate.
B: lemon and blueberry breakfast cake (I made this last night with blueberries that were going bad, turned out pretty good
L: left over pulled pork nachos
D: TBD - DH has chicken thawing, so I might do something with this
Here are somebody's tulips I stopped to take a picture of this a.m....just thought the were pretty.
Baseball again tonight - this is OK, DH goes to sleep at 7:30 and the girl is going to her grandma's...so no, NO I do not feel bad for watching/listening to baseball, especially after my two walks.
Have a great evening! IP

Good luck with the blood sugar numbers. You can do it - you've done it before.
Weekend was nice...DH and I took the doggos out - Indian Hollow starting to green up!
Black River Probably just weeds..
Saturday - yard work all day
Sunday - laundry day, walked the doggos, make pulled pork and potato salad for dinner
Monday - in the office most of the day...oh people
B: Amish breakfast casserole - (still not a fan of potatoes for breakfast) but the hashbrowns in the casserole weren't so bad - but still would leave them out, but sometimes you have to cook for others.
L: skipped (at work longer than anticipated)
S: graham crackers, strawberry cream cheese
D: chicken chili
Took the girl driving - she is doing ok - only scared me a little - needs work on left hand turns and parking - her first day of driving class is Thursday evening.
Tuesday - working from home - on - a few projects
B: vanilla iced coffee
L: TBD - maybe left over pulled pork - maybe left over chicken chili
D: salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, salad
No great relevations today...just hoping to get through the day ...and BASEBALL!
Have a great day IP
Progress as of today: 47.7 lbs lost so far, only 80.2 lbs to go!
I've been driving for decades, and I still need to work on left-hand turns and parking - LOL!
You must have made the pulled pork over many hours, maybe using a slow cooker?
GREAT menu, reading thru it, sounds perfect!!! Amish breakfast, nicely done! you've got the cooking skills!
Went to the office yesterday - I can say for a fact - my dogs are better coworkers!
I may be getting caught up from my week away - just seems there were so many more emails than usual to answer and respond too.
$359 phone bill - I don't think so...had to call for line service at one of my sites!
Working from home this a.m. and had my mid-term performance review virtually...weird! I'm doing a 'great job'...this is good for me, now I'll go walk my co-workers.
Took a longer than usual morning walk - I was on a conference call listening so I was kinda working.
Ran across a photo that I couldn't pass up.
IN A BED OF DAFFODILS...BE A TULIP! - {Continue to be true to yourself HOP}
Also at work - Mike the flower guy told me to take my Orchid home but I forgot it...I will get it next time.
He also put Easter Lily's on the window shelf and I caught this one bloom.
Woke up wide awake with DH at 3:15 - laid in bed for over 45 minutes and then over slept this a.m.
Crazy weird dreams but slept very well.
B: yogurt, granola, vanilla iced latte
L: chips, saula, cheese
D: TBD I was thinking of checking out a diner called The Foundry if DH is up to it.
I hope you all have a great evening! IP

Took some daffodil pics for a Twitter buddy. Will post here. All over the property. No tulips.
How wonderful it is to have something like your love of baseball to look forward to almost nearly every evening. I mean, wouldn't that be wonderful to look forward to at the end of a really bad day? "Well, at least there's a game tonight, and I plan to chill out and just watch the game." Ahhh....
in general, dogs are easier to deal with than people! oh yea.
there's nothing better than getting a good review. i'm sure your dogs enjoyed their walk too.
thanks for the shout out! I appreciate your support. I hope my situation at work blows over by when i resume work on Tuesday since i'm off tomorrow...i'm not sure how it will be. i just know that i have a LOT of work to catch up on...
I just am...
vacation days - were restful
maintaining - no gain - no loss
being back to work and I am stressed and almost pulling my hair out...better days!
Better weather a big +
Baseball is back...happiness
Yard work ...meh
was in the office ALL day yesterday and left at 3:30 - took me 45 minutes to get home will have to get used to this if we ever go back to work.
The girl finally passed her drving exam and got her learning permit - I enrolled her in a driving class starts next Thursday.
Taking more self esteem; soul searching classes.
Blood sugar this a.m. 114
B: French toast bagel, vanilla ice latte
L: left over roast beef sandwich
D: chicken fried rice, vegetables; beef, brocolli and carrots
Still walking...almost broke a sweat this a.m.
Have a great day! IP

oh my, it took me awhile to become a decent driver! i'm glad girlie passed and is on to her next step, drivers ed!
Sounds like you're doing well, although way too stressed out, which I can completely commiserate with you. I'm sorry, I know that's not a good feeling :-(

That was a scary thought......back in the day we never worried about these things but now.....it's so much different.

I'm pretty sure *I* am the world's worst parker. Pretty sure...
I'm grateful for our rain today. It's been rather dry, I've noticed, by the number of times I have to fill my birdbaths.
I usually have to have at least 1 green vegetable with lunch and dinner. Otherwise, I'd eat 3 or 4 sliders just to fill up!
horn_of_plenty on 05/06/2021:
parking - especially parallel parking - is hard!
i also never learned to backup-park...only front-end-in parking. LOL. so i never back up to park that way.
but living in queens, i have gotten pretty decent at parallel parking :)
nice eats for dinner....and nice bunny ! we get them on Long Island also.

Cool pics!
My husband covered up the car sun roof with some kind of British racing insignia, a heavy film.
