Due to the basement flooding and not having heat or hot water, it's been about a month since our housekeeper has been here. She will be coming today; and there's a lot of things for her to do. I'm still planning on going to get my labs done on Wednesday because it's going to be really warm. I received a $10 off coupon via email for Red Lobster; so a dinner there may be in our future. What's new with you? Breakfast - Protein bar Lunch - Chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes. Originally hubs had made me some frozen chicken wings. They were so fatty and so disgusting that I couldn't finish them. I think I need to write a note to the manufacturer. Dessert/Snack - Pumpkin pie with Cool Whip and decaf coffee Dinner - Protein bar What did you eat yesterday? Photo Credit: Mine - Cockatoo, Bloedel Conservatory, British Columbia, Canada

Chicken taco salad for lunch (fine), chicken noodle soup for dinner (pain). I had my dermatologist appointment today. Tomorrow is for the car (oil change), and then my primary care doctor on Wednesday.

@LindaOHio — fine. He lobbed off what insurance will let him (which, honestly, is fine with me). Car appointment was fine, too.

@FourWalls Ouch! I spent the 60s baking in the sun. So far, so good. Knock on wood.

How did your dermatologist appointment go? Every time hubs goes to his, it seems he has something that needs to be cut out or off. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about your basement flooding. I wish I could last with just a protein bar as a meal. My appetite has been crazy lately.

We get a big lunch Monday-Friday; so I don't need to eat much else.

@LindaOHio Well that is still good self control. I honestly wish I too can manage to control my portions.

@flapiz I still gain weight because I can't get around much. I need to REALLY cut down on what I eat.

Beautiful cockatoo, I baked a chicken leg quarter and then shredded the chicken meat and added it to rice I fried with soy, diced tomatoes, and spinach,

@LindaOHio they had a little bit of chicken but they very much prefer their dry food,

Love the picture! I'm just watching the rain come down right now. It looked almost like sleet earlier this morning. The low was about 33 F last night.

@LindaOHio I had a parakeet back in the day. He was my buddy.

@TheHorse I've always wanted a bird; but they are messy. Would love to have a grey parrot. They are so smart.

I've never actually been to Red Lobster. If I ate seafood I'd go there. My mom got us lamb hearts so we are gonna make them today. Looking forward to that. Hubby butchered and marinated them last night. All we gotta do is fry them up in a cast iron skillet.

@LindaOHio They were pretty good. We had them last night and then later for some reason hubby was nauseous and even threw up. And he hasn't been okay all day today. Wonder why. Can't be the hearts as I am fine.

Hope you have a nice dinner when you decide to hit up Red Lobster, which I am sure you will. I am going to have to order in for some Chinese real soon. Getting a craving. For dinner we kept it really simple and just had ham sandwiches with some French fries.

Your dinner sounds good. Our Chinese is all gone now. Depending on the weather, we may go to RL on Saturday.

@LindaOHio I just ordered some Chinese on Wednesday the 28th. Yummy, yummy. Maybe just for kicks and grins I will take the wifey to RL soon. Haven't been there in ages.

Hopefully your housekeeper will get everything done in short order. I find birds the hardest to photograph, this one gives the impression it didn't sit still much.

I had a scrambled egg sandwich when we ate out for brunch yesterday. We had a nice chicken-broccoli penne bake for supper last night, it was delicious.

Nothing new. It snowed but very little during the night, the temperature is not cold enough, it is already melting. I made potato gnocchi for lunch.

@LindaOHio I also love gnocchi, it did not take long to make them. The longest time is cooking the potatoes.

Nothing fun happening here... I have a bunch more phone calls I need to make after 8 am today... So my sleep will be cut short. The tornado sirens keep going off in our city tonight. I've heard them three times. (Pretty said she heard them four times.) Strong winds keep blowing here but the storms have stopped for the moment. It's been 50F since yesterday afternoon. Uhm... I ate a turkey sausage and cheese croissant yesterday for breakfast, some chicken taquitos with steamed broccoli for lunch and had some Green Onion Lay's Chips for supper. Have a good day.

I'm sorry about the bad weather. The south has been slammed for quite some time now. You have a good day too.

That's good that she will finally come back today and can get some things done. Hope you will enjoy that meal if you do go out. Sorry about the chicken. Fatty meat is disgusting!

The weather won't be good this weekend. Don't know if we will go out to eat. Yes, the chicken wings were disgusting.

@LindaOHio Sorry to hear that, about the weather and the wings. I don't like wings as it is. Not a fan of dark meat.

I hope she gets lots of things done. Enjoy Red Lobster with that nice coupon. Went bike riding this morning, cleaned, and waiting for the bug sprayer to arrive.

I hope your house-keeper is able to get a bit done for you. I'm sure the chores have built up in the time she's been unable to come.
