TYING UP ODDS AND ENDS OF 2022 PART 1

(Looking at my desktop page I saw 50 photos from 2022 and decided to get them posted and then stop taking so many pictures--including 'selfies!--plus cut back on postings! I have too many new books to read to spend so much time on the Internet.) AN OLD MAN OR JUST WELL ORGANIZED!?!?!? Inline image My Saturday morning (well whatever time I get up!) routine While I boil the pot of water for a cup of coffee and 2 cups of tea (photos #2) I am busy getting my meds (photos #1) made up for 3 weeks. I take 18 meds and split them to 9 in the morning (I get up at 4 AM to have the first batch and go right back to sleep!) and 9 in the evening. While I drink my coffee I will put the 2 bags of salad (photos #3) and their condiments (bacon plus dressing) adding fresh chopped onions, into a bowl, mix it all up and then divide it into 5 portions and wrap each salad in plastic adding tomatoes when I go to eat it. (For those calorie counting---LIKE ME!--each salad is 225 calories.) While drinking a cup of tea (I recently started that tea drinking) I mix a bowl of sliced fresh mushrooms, a vegetable alternating between corn, beans, carrots, etc., (#4 photos) and pasta and distribute it among 5 dinner dishes topping it with either chicken, turkey, meatballs, veal or seafood--some of the plates will get rice or black beans, onions, etc,. I then will wrap each in recycled plastic wrap and I am almost set for a delicious meal. I am now ready to eat dinner Saturday through Wednesday--let's not discuss Thursday & Saturdays!!

@GreatMartin I'm hoping to do some meal prep today while I'm home from work, but we're getting ready for a level 5 storm to hit here in a couple of hours -- almost like a hurricane, which we never really get here! Right now the kids and one of the adults are moving potential projectiles out of the backyard.

You have a good plan to save time spent in the kitchen. I do most of my cooking in the crockpot and microwave. I’m not a special fan of cooking.

Very good for you, I is good to get so organized and put things into perspective. Slowly but surely I am getting my apartment cleaned up before the first week of the new year is gone so I can concentrate on my online work, I even got myself going and did my laundry and put it away before 10 AM today, I too have lost of photos to look over not to mention all my photo albums.

Nice schedule you got there! No need to hire me to remind you to take your meds. The tea and coffee will keep us nice and healthy. And organizing your potato salad makes life so easy. I'll take a few pointers from you.

Thanks for the update. It's great that you make so many meals ahead of time. Now I have a taste for a salad.

As long as I wake up in the morning--not too early--I am doing okay!
