Note to self--do not use olive oil to make hashbrowns.

I have a bunch of potatoes that I need to use. Dinner is short on veggies but won't be able to eat more. Homemade hashbrowns with onions and a butcher shop made bratwurst.

i spent the past 2 days at my cabin clearing small trees and saplings. Quite a workout hauling them to a pile and just walking with the rocks and branches under the leaves. We will be burning the leaves etc off on the area around the cabin and house site--too much to even think about raking. There has been no one using the cabin for about 10 years soo more than a bit overgrown etc. and it's on a hill in the woods. My SIL and DD were on the fire dept and Terry is the former fire chief so re: a controlled burn they do know what they are doing.

Today is back to work and a rest day especially since the temps have plummeted from 78 yesterday to the high today in the low 30's. not nice to the arthritis.

I've decided to do the cruise in July. Tomorrow back to the gym. That will definitely spur me on. So I am home at least for the next week probably head to the cabin next Friday so will have internet access until then. I need to find my workout record book--it's geared to Genesis but currently only have access to Planet Fitness but it will help.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I need to make sure when I am at my cabin that I take this laptop down to my daughter's where there is internet.

I have not stuck to my WOE but did get some exercise in. I bought a small battery operated. Only a 6 inch blade so one that I can handle. I cleared a lot of small volunteer trees with up to about 4-5 inch diameter trunks and hauled them to the pile of trees that been cleared by a former owner.

The weather was perfect on Sunday and if I didn't have to drive home would have gotten more done. Sat was incredibly windy. I have Wed and Thurs off --co. denied Friday.. The weather is supposed to be warm then cold starting Friday so decided to go back down to the cabin after work on Tues and stay home the weekend.

I'm finding that it is soo hard to plan food between 2 places. I have a new spur for a goal. I may go on a cruise in July. I need to decide by the weekend so I can get reservations in. I don't want to spend the money really with the new house but I've never been on one. Might be a last chance to try--hard to tell. Well time to get my work computer going.

My world today, better day than yesterday. I have my total stressed out days that I need to change how I handle the stress. Baby steps to get back on track. Could not sleep well last night only about 3 hours worth per fitbit. No exercise this am and early to bed for this very tired person even my dogs are tired--I kept them up also.
Calories are around 1400 and will knock it down to 1200 next week. Baby steps again.

i have training to finish putting together tomorrow @ work for a Friday class I am teaching for some new associates and some other training to review for a boss that I have not had a chance to do this week. I have had to realize in the past 2 years that work is seeming to take more energy than it used to. I am trying to re-gain at least some of that energy on top of losing weight and increasing fitness.

tomorrow is also packing up after work to get ready to leave for the weekend,

Once I retire I will re-start my quilting business but that is something I love to do and I will be able to do it on my own terms and part time. The income will be for extras.

I have learned today since I am paying more attention that I am stress eating and drinking due to other people's mistakes. I need to get over that. I am a lead on a customer service team for a mutual fund company. I was moved back to this team last March so most of my teammates I have never met in person--working from home since March 13 2020 nor have I trained them.

I should not be feeling responsible for them if they screw up! Part of my job is reviewing phone calls in different situations and providing feedback that really should be the responsibility of our managers. They push most things onto the seniors and leads instead of dealing with staff themselves now. 2 major screwups on calls today and I'm not leaving it @ work. It was easier when we could walk out of a building and leave work there and had managers who were hands on and managed their staff. I turn off the computer, shut the door to my office and it doesn't go away when people make big mistakes.

gave myself a stomach and head ache. Gotta quit this so it's not affecting me after work.
