Oh, and I'm fixing to take a nap.
I originally wanted carrot cake...but no one could find any.
Funny Chinese New Year fell on my birthday. The egg rolls and sweet/sour chicken with rice were DIVINE. I may have a new addiction. LOL
I'm headed to the shower in a few and then change into jammies before the hockey game starts.

Just finished my Lean Cuisine pizza and contemplating packing breakfast and lunch for tomorrow, then going to bed. I got next to NO sleep last night. First of all, insomnia is a bitch. Second of all, the "kitty nap" I took yesterday afternoon definitely hurt my sleep schedule.
I finally drifted off to sleep around midnight. My first alarm goes off at 3am because I had to be at work at 5am this morning. About a half-hour later, hubby comes to bed. He opens the bedroom window. Keep in mind, it is in the upper 20s lower 30s here, "feels like" temps are in the teens. Colder'n a witch's titty. And Hubby decides to open the window. The cold air woke my big brown ass right up.
Finally, I drift back off to sleep only to wake with a start thinking I was late to work. No joke, I thought it was six-thirty in the morning. "Why didn't [Manager A] call me? She usually does if I'm more than 15 minutes late and don't call or message her to let her know?" I grabbed my phone, to call the store, and it was only 1:30am. I put the phone back on the nightstand. I think I got maybe two hours of sleep altogether.
When the last alarm went off, I didn't want to get out of bed because the room was so damn cold. I'm laying down the law tonight. If Hubby wants to sleep with me tonight, that window is staying CLOSED. This is why we sleep in separate rooms during the winter. He likes to be frozen, I like to be warm and toasty.

Have you ever tried a supplement called melatonin? It was recommended to me after I came home from the hospital following knee surgery. I sleep GREAT when I take one about an hour before bed.
Here's some info on melatonin: https://sleepfoundation.org/sleep-to...onin-and-sleep
Right now I'm having a piece of birthday cake and watching hockey.

At work, sitting outside on my break. Worked a butt ton of overtime only to be taxed the majority of it. Not happy, so I'm taking it easy tonight in protest.

Yes, I have some. Remembering to take it, however.... And I'm always afraid to take anything for sleep when I have to work the next day because I do get up so early, 3 and 4am.

Looking for the Wednesday grocery store flyer, remembering my grocery store is starting to push it to Sunday starting this week. Guess I won't get it free in the mail anymore. Good thing I have the app and the digital copy.

Trying to engage in a Netflix marathon (Continuum) but I have to keep letting my dog out and in, and out, and then in, and then out and in and out, and then in. It's very annoying. He's like an old man that just has to keep going.

Just finished my Egg McMuffin-no-meat-add-tomato, sipping on Diet Coke, and waiting to clock in to deal with the effers.
I figured out it is the meat in the Egg McMuffin that has all the sodium. MyFitnessPal yelled at me every time I entered one in, or even an Egg White Delight. Then I took the meat off and subbed it for tomato and voila, it quit yelling at me.

I am praying that the roads aren't too icy for Sissy to fetch biscuits. It's worse in Btown than here, apparently, because the schools are closed. We had a flake yesterday and it might have frozen overnight, doncha know. Seriously, it dusted and Sissy said the roads were good, so maybe they are this morning. Otherwise I'll eat an egg and turkey sausage sammie with a side of grits.
Colder than a witch's butt out there, so it's a great day to get some writing done...and do more catching up on Season 4 of Law and Order.
Laughing at my son, behind his back, as he tries to lite a fire. I told him the kindling needs to be split one more time, but, nooo, he don't have time for that.

Then the cookies arrived and yeah. I'm not walking 2-1/2 miles while carrying this awkward box.

Finishing up Pitch Perfect, about to start Pitch Perfect 2, waiting for a meeting to start on Zoom. I'm the newest It Works! consultant, I'll be paying my dues when Hubby gets back with the tax refund card. I am SO excited to be joining It Works!
The tax refund hit the card today, a week early. I was sweating it, because I had a couple of small bills that were due ASAP, the It Works dues were waiting on the refund, my friend who has been talking to me about it has been EXTREMELY patient while I made up my mind. Hubby would've had a fit if I'd spent $100 of my paycheck for this, but the tax refund? Naw, that's pretty much fair game, spend it on whatever you want.
So, after spending a dollar at McD's to make sure the money was there, I sent him to Walmart to cash out his half. He's visiting his mom, and taking Little Bit out for dinner. His mom will probably join them, or he'll order dinner in for all of them. I'm probably going to bed after the Zoom meeting because I work tomorrow at 6am.

About to venture out on some errands & for Valentine's shopping
The Tiny Terror
Watching "South Park." Went to the grocery store after work. A certain Mr. Sir failed to tell me what he wanted for Valentine's lunch. It's too cold to go out, and he works at 5pm so we're having lunch at home that day. SO, since he just said "I dunno" when I asked him, I bought some ribs and BBQ sauce. I'll put the ribs in the Crock Pot Saturday night and let them slow-cook all night long and we'll eat them after church.

Finished The Truth. Later today I'll do Poetry, Brandon & Eliza, maybe one or both of the last two pages.
Right now, I'm in the mood to lie down and continue reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It about the relationship between a young Auschwitz prisoner and the commandant's son, who lives with his family in a house across the woods from the death camp. I saw the movie on Netflix and had to read the book. In a word it is stunningly devastating.

Got home from the meeting excited, recharged, and ready to take control of my business.
I have a bag of "regular" carrots. *sigh* Cindy posted an article about baby carrots that Snopes proved "partially true," so this time I did not buy baby carrots. *sigh* I bought regular ones. I play to peel them and add a few carrot shavings to my salad, and make carrot sticks out of the rest to take to work next week. I've got yogurt, blueberries, blackberries, carrots, a cucumber, pita bread, a couple of packets of smoked tuna, eggs to hard boil, and steam-in-bag edamame all ready to go for next week. Tomorrow I just need to spend time hard-boiling eggs, making tuna salad, prepping veggies. It makes my life easier, before bed every worknight I pack my breakfast and lunch.
One of my managers saw my breakfast I bring to work: two hard-boiled eggs, a Greek yogurt, a Cutie orange or blood orange peeled and sectioned (and all the white stringies removed), blueberries, and blackberries and said I wasn't eating enough. My goal is to lose weight. I'm trying to eat 4 small meals a day rather than two huge ones, and eating clean as much as I possibly can. Dinners with my family aren't always as clean as I'd like, but I'm working on it by subbing salad for fries.
I DO allow myself one cheat meal a week. Usually it's Thursdays before grocery store or therapy, and it's always McDonald's because I eat before I leave work. This week, though, I'm switching Sunday for Thursday because I'm making BBQ ribs for Hubby for Valentine's lunch tomorrow. He's a happy guy.
