Good Afternoon Everyone,
Taking a break for some lunch, Cesar Salad with BBQ Chicken so good, love the combo is Cesar Salad Dressing and BBQ Sauce.

I am about half way through my to do list but not sure I am going to get it all done. I have been having back pain recently and I was not sure why but now I think it the work station I am using at work. This desk is kind of weird in setup so I end up kind of hunched over a lot and I believe that is what is causing the pain. Since it is not my workstation there is not much I can do but push through.

Alright let's see what else I can get done.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day

Full week for us over here. All three back in school. Me too. My students start Monday (different board than where my kids go). We are all EXHAUSTED. I worked until midnight last night to clear my plate for the rest of the weekend so I could relax and and enjoy. I am ready to go for Monday (I hope).

Puttering and putting "house and life back together" today while watching TV. I think everyone needs some alone don't bug me time.

Good earlier evening everyone!!!! I hope everyone had a great day!!! In QC it was sunny and not too cold,so I enjoyed my afternoon outside ,it was nice,not so many days ahead with fall and winter coming soon brrr.I went to bed very late yesterday night because I wanted to watch a french movie I never saw Bon Cop ,Bad Cop,it is a good movie.

Today I wanted to clean the dishes but that did not happen so tomorrow me or father will do it.

Did a minimun clean in the freezer and fridge ...I hate wasting food..but not too much this time per chance...its like i will watch what I am buying because I dont like lost money....

Need to clean out my budget tonight and see how I spended this week on grocery but we are stocked on almost everything so no rush into the grocery for at least 1 week!!! And no more what do we eat....?
I need also to do meal plans,my pate chinois and my salmon pot pie will wait for now maybe in 2 week I will make it...I have everything on hand

I realize that IGA is tricky on sale...I did not see the 30 big eggs announced in flyer in stock so I had to buy 24 eggs medium for the same price...@4,77$ that suck to not have the full value of your money on a product...

Purchase the wrong size of kitchen garbage bin bags but will have to use it ..

Off to supper and just relax,at least my headache is gone with some fresh outside air

Have a wonderfull evening and night everyone!!!

Good Evening Everyone,
Well I tried my best to push through the back pain, but I did come up short on my to do list but still think I did pretty well, here is what I got done:
Emptied and Re Loaded the Dishwasher
Put all the Dishes away and found a home for Instant Pot and Air Fryer Accessories (Not my number one choice for their home but it will work for now)
Broke down the Costco Package of Hot Dogs into Meal size Portions and froze
Broke down package of Chicken Breasts, 6 bags of small chunks, 1 bag of tenders & 3 whole and froze
Chopped Washed and packaged Romaine
Took out Recycling (Not sure what happened this week but our recycling exploded, it was everywhere)
Washed, Dryed, Folded and put away White & Towels (Mom did darks yesterday)
Made Mom Egg Bites (I tried one, they are okay but with that being said I don't really eat eggs so)
Spinach Sorted and Washed (Some was used in Egg Bites, rest was used for Dinner)
Zucchini (Used this for dinner, made a lasagna but used Zucchini instead of noodles)
Wipe Down the Bathroom (I just cleaned the Bathroom but it looks like there was a weird film on the counter)
Took everything that needed to be in the basement from shopping down and it is all put away
Grated Parm (We pre grate and leave in the fridge, also needed this for dinner as I made Homemade Alfredo Sauce)
Also as I worked in the Kitchen I cleaned as I went so the kitchen is clean

What I did not get done:
Process the Bread I bought (3 x Mom's Bread, 2 x My Bread, 3 x Hot Dog Buns) for the freezer
Package Celery
Limes (I have some dying Limes I was going to juice and make a drink from)

All and all a good day but did take me longer than I would have liked as I had to take breaks because of my back, but that is what it is.

I did not get any work done so I am doing that now. They asked me to do next week's production schedule so I am trying to do that, wish my luck, although I can work in the production plant, production is not my forte, oh well we will see what I come up with. Also have a few other things to get done but we will see how long the schedule takes me.

Have a great night everyone.

We have had a deluge of rain. I need to go out and do a few errands but feel very lazy. Tomorrow is my DS1 20th birthday. So today I will bake his cake and wrap his gift. Laundry is in the dryer because there is little chance of sun today. DS2 has his schedule and it’s not bad. He needs to change some course but these two are good to start with.
I had a 5.00 Facebook sale from books that have been posted for a while. Patience is the key I guess. I just need to post stuff, I have the pictures. Just need to get it done.
