Good Morning. We have sunshine!

For dinner last night I basically cleaned out the fridge and started cooking all the things. I put the chicken skewers on the BBQ. Cut up the cauliflower and steamed that. Cut up mushrooms, grape tomatoes and garlic and sauteed them in coconut oil. Cut an avocado. Made a Greek salad. When it was all ready I wasn't even hungry. I made a small plate for myself and made up my lunch for tomorrow.

We went out and cleaned the garage for a bit last evening. Tossed some garbage. Moved stuff so we can put the BBQ near the door and then we can just pull it out when we want to BBQ this winter. Moved a bunch of stuff to my SUV for donation (toys/sports stuff /kitchen ware etc) Will continue on it tonight after work.

I went for a walk last night around 730 and boy did it get dark and cold quick! I should have put on my fuzzy hat and mitts like I thought about. Regardless I pushed myself and did my route. I was really exhausted at the end of the day. Which actually felt good.

Now to get this work day out of the way and get out there and enjoy the sunshine

Just had my dinner. (my lunch I didn't eat) It was a fend for yourself night.
Will give the fridge a once over tomorrow and see what we can come up with for dinner.

I have never had this happen but it was a nice surprise. I was waiting on checkout 51 to fix an issue and happen to notice the yogurt offer was back, I bought 3 pumpkin yogurts last night and the offer was gone when I went to submit. So I just added another 3.30 to my account and as soon as it’s approved I will cash out.
I was also able to take advantage of samplesource for the 1st time in likely 2 yrs. I got 9 offers. Yay.

Just finished on the treadmill Feeling so good finally! Cutting dairy/bread etc has helped 100%.

The overgrown shrubs/trees were trimmed yesterday. It was so bad I couldn't see out the window to the street from the dining room (my office) Now I feel like I'm in a fish bowl. No more working in a towel straight from the shower lol

Barely 20min later, two robocalls came (for Bro and one from mayoral candidate) and third call was for grocery delivery but I did not answer. Truck showed up 30sec after family came home!

I have recently discovered Telus' Call Control function/feature and enabled it. I am happy to find that it works well and prevents all manner of robo-calls by forcing the caller to enter a randomly generated number between 0-9 for each call. If your provider is Telus, you might want to investigate this feature. It is quite helpful.
