Thanks Dottie! You know you're the one that got me sick right? LOL

It started with a head cold and moved into my lungs, now I'm hacking all over. The pharmacy was out of stock of the meds they prescribed me too...so I still haven't taken anything to get better. But here I am at my dreary job. It took all my effort to even pretend like I care!

So I read back (ok...skimmed). Did y'all know I was Vegan for FOUR whole days?? I plan to start again tomorrow, I think. It's kinda expensive getting all set up for it, but then it should be fairly cheap to maintain. Ok...so has anyone tried Chia seeds? You put them in water and it turns into a gelatinous texture. Have a few spoons full of that and you will not be constipated, ever again. LOL Too much info?

Pauly - I'm sticking with you on the MEAT team!! You are sweet to worry about me. I am fine, I have just been slammed busy and not quite as chatty......
Zenny - I can't type on my damn phone, but come think of it, since you may be dumping Bill, it might be a good time to move on in the love department!!
K9 is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let the chattiness return........................

oh fenny-
Clay is going to work a construction job with his brother for a guy that I have done a lot of business with over the years.
I have always been good to him, so he is re-paying me by keeping both my boys employed.
They are both demo-ing the interior of houses that are to be remodeled. Perfect job for my gorillas!!

Yay!!! Niner's back! Can you not post from your tablet at home Niner? Is that why you don't post over the weekends? I'm glad you're feeling a bit better but if it's the same upper respiratory infection I had, I think you should defo be on antibiotics...

Your Zalad Zounds Zublime Mama! Zave Zome for me!

Today's lesson was "how to cook quinoa". It tastes pretty good and you can makes all sorts of recipes with it... I'm going to keep a cooked batch in the fridge.


I use Chia seeds Niner... like Pauly I put them in smoothies and sprinkle them on fruit and yogurt. I had blueberry yogurt made with coconut instead of cows milk last night and it was very good.

I had a heads-up from Fenny! She sent me a recipe for it and told me to make sure I rinsed it before I cooked it. The next thing I'm going to attempt making is "The Ultimate Vegan Lentil Walnut Meatloaf"... DA DA DAAAAAAAAAA! :H Ahh yiz'll be sick of me Veggy tales in no time.

Going to grab a shower and go to meet a mate at the vegetarian restaurant. And tomorrow arvo I have to take a girlfriend to buy her her birthday present... she wants something to wear, so she comes with!!! What else... oh Cheryl has the lurgy now, hope I don't get it back from her. Bill's been good. I think he "gets it" now as he bought himself a bottle of Bacardi :yuk: last night and was openly drinking it. (That was previously a no-no because of the drunken rants.) The fact that he's doing his own thing and doesn't give a rats arse what I think means he has processed it and we're both on the same page now.

I'm sure you're all bored with the Bill saga already. I know I am so yiz must be!

Anyhoo, on that note... je suis outta here. Have a good rest of your Fridays if I don't catch youz later... X

Gym was good. Nursing home called and dad needed some of his vitamins so we went to Costco since they were on sale. Then we went to visit him. I noticed his feet and ankles were puffy. I know he wont walk around and I bought him an ottoman and he wont use that either. So I told the nurse and she made a note for the doc to see him. I think it is lack of exercise but he doesn't want to do anything but sit and watch TV and I am not fighting him on that and they folks there try to get him out into activities but he wont have it. So be it.
K9 sorry you caught my crud. It was a real bugger and I still have a cough. Hope u get some meds soon so u can kick it to the curb.
I use chia seeds in my smoothies every morning. It does help keep me full.
Trainer fellow wants us to eat more protein...told him we don't eat meat...he obviously is a meat eater so this will be a challenge. May have to agree to disagree on this one.
Off to get a shower. back later.

Yay on the Jim Dottie!! Protein is important, but I understand.
Home to rest for a bit. Have to address my collapsed closet tomorrow and I am walking for the National Kidney Foundation on Sunday. No vacation for me till mid July.
It's all good and I appreciate my paycheck.
K9, what's the latest on your mom?
Dots, you are a good daughter. Hope my kids take care of me! (I think they will)❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks mama. It is tough being an only child so I just do the best I can for him. He took care of mother and me so it is my job now to do the same. He was not by any means perfect and totally drank too much but that is in the past and he needs me now.
Vegging out tonight. My fav shows are on so that is my plan.
Plant sale tomorrow is a fund raiser for a school garden so going to get some veggies for my garden. Bought some soil at Costco so I am ready to go.
