Sunday

[susandennis]

I did another nice, long, swim today and it was even better. The sun was not out so I didn't get blinded like yesterday and the only other pool people were regulars that I like and not even many of them. It was just a lovely swim. Between yesterday and today, I swam enough yards to make up for skipping Friday. Maybe that will be my thing this week. Skip Friday. I'll see how the traffic goes.

Today will be a lot of little glueing. I thought yesterday that I was nearing completion but then I realized just how many little things had yet to be done. And the littles are the most time consuming. They are all pretty much glue, wait for glue to dry, glue next tiny bit, wait for it to dry, etc.

I'm kind of out of breakfast inspiration. My ideal is to come in from swimming and have something ready to nuke with coffee. One dish or fewer used in prep/eating. Includes an egg. Is filling enough so that I don't snack all morning. I have one idea to try that involves minimal pre-prep and I may do that today. But, meanwhile, I laid in some hard boiled eggs and english muffins.

I'd like to spend the next 30ish days not spending a lot of money. I'll feel better after I see how much the real estate tax bill will be. That comes out on February 16. I'm thinking it's going to be $8-9,000. I'll be delighted if it's less. And then just after that is my birthday which is going to be expensive but sooooooo worth it. So I'd like to make sure my cash buffer is buffed up to the max.

I just got a text from USPS that I have a package coming from Dallas, TX tomorrow. I got nothing on order from there. Quite the mystery. I love it.

Now it's time to move this ass over to the dining room table and get gluin'.

I was reading your life story from your profile...well, I skipped a lot of the childhood stuff. Spouse is into computer history, though he focuses on personal computers of the 80s.

According to the national weather, we have an arctic blast headed our way that might really mess the roads up. I just hope I can make it to my water aerobics classes this week.
Don't you just love it when you get to a spot in your project where there's lots of little fiddly time-consuming stuff to do? Drives me nuts!
:^)

yes on the fiddly stuff. i did that all afternoon and it was nuts. but, hopefully, most of the worst is behind me.

hope the weather doesn't keep you from the water!

I've made some good progress the first three weeks, so I'm really hoping I can keep it up.
That hot tub soak is my personal reward for each class!

This used to be my go-to breakfast:

Costco sometimes carries them, also lots of supermarkets

Hmm. Microwaveable omelette in a mug?

If you have pre-grated cheese and pre-chopped veges this would be very snappy to make.

I was also going to suggest a microwavable omelet in a cup as they are quick and easy. You can do scrambled eggs in the microwave as well and make toast while they cook. Or on the link your friend posted above they had these scrambled egg muffins (https://walkingonsunshinerecipes.com/easy-scrambled-egg-muffins/) which sound delicious and which you can make ahead and freeze ready for the whole week. I also have made Fried Eggs in Bell Pepper Rings (http://www.kitchme.com/recipes/fried-eggs-in-bell-pepper-rings) - they are good on muffins, plus no need to wash up egg rings.
