Worked from home today. Preparing a staffing plan for snowmageddon. I am working from home because of the fall I had yesterday. I look forward to eating well during this time.
Wishing everyone safety, warmth, and good health as the snow and ice rolls across the country.
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.
For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...
Happy Saturday! I hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤

Happy Friday! I am headed to Texas today for my work conference, hopefully I will get in and settled (with some groceries) before the storm hits. Are you expecting this big ice/snow storm in your area this weekend? Apparently it's affecting about half of the US. What are you doing to prepare for the storm? Sending prayers for anyone affected, hopefully you don't lose power. Stay safe and warm 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is a small portion of my meat haul for the day. One local store was offering grass fed grass finished hamburger meat for 4.99/#. I was limited to 4 packs, went really early this morning and got four packs. Then I ended up going back later since I was in the area and I got 4 more packs.
Then another local store was offering short ribs for $5/# so I picked up 4 packs, again limited to 4 packs. Then I used my daughters discount card and went to a different store and got 4 more packs plus they were also offering flankin ribs at $5/#.
About $160 on meat today, but I got approx 35# of meat
I feel like I hit the mother load today 🤪
