Monday, Monday

I’m typing this on my phone today. For whatever reason, the computer won’t acknowledge the phone when I plug it in, so I can’t transfer photos over. I have to use the wordpress app on my phone. No editing of pics, so they are what they are 😀

I need to buy a new phone as my screen is broken (about 20% dead pixels) and the battery is shot. Sigh.

Anyway, some eats!

Breakfast of protein pancakes

Morning work of postal orders today. Actually most of these were packed on Sunday. Always working…

We have a daily pickup for both the post office and UPS. UPS picks up in the afternoon, so we have time to get all the postal orders done first. One business will start to slow down now and the the retail ones will get really busy for the next month and a half.

Mid morning snack:

There is a new apple at our store called the Autumn Glory. Have any of you tried this?

It is supposed to have notes of cinnamon and caramel to it.  It’s quite a good apple, sweet and crunchy.  It is John’s new favorite apple – and he eats apples every single day.

I incorporated one into my lunch with yogurt:

I forgot to take a picture of my snack – latte and brownie.  Trying to get back into that habit of taking a snap of everything.

Dinner was easy.  This is a stuffed frozen chicken breast.

Mondays need to be easy meals or we are likely to go out for a cheap dinner – like Five Guys – since Mondays are normally really busy for us the last thing you want to do is prepare anything complicated.

More rain today, so I hopped on the treadmill for some exercise:

 

Yesterday was so nice and sunny, even if a bit cool. Now the sun is gone again. It’s been such a rainy fall.

Tonight is relaxing with some football and candy corn – plus doing a little bit more reading on the candidates I will vote for on Tuesday.

    Hi Lori, haven’t commented in a long time but have been reading! It’s fun seeing your posts with food + life, as in the old (ha) days. I really miss them!

    My flowers are done for the year, since they’re not as protected as yours, so I’m also enjoying your gardening posts. Hope you guy sell a lot of soap ingredients & bars this holiday season!

    (and yes, the election–hope everyone goes out & votes! Tomorrow should be interesting…)

    This post felt like a blast from the past with your food shots! I always liked that as I’m weirdly curious as to what other people eat lol.

    I was encouraged that I had to wait for a privacy booth when I went to vote at 7 a.m. It is foggy, drizzly, and wet with heavy rain on the way here too today. I’m very tired of rain!

    Ugh to technology problems. Why can’t everything just work?!

    We voted a couple of weeks ago and it was full of people; hopefully there were enough to make some changes happen.

    I like seeing your eats! We do not have that Autumn Glory apple out here. When I do see a new type of apple I always like to try it. And then I revert to my Fujis 🙂

    I have an aversion to mailing packages, so it would not be good for me to have a business like yours!

    I’m also into easy dinners. So if I want something special cooked, I cook it in the afternoon when I have more energy.

      John likes Fuji apples, too. We have a daily pickup from the post office, so we don’t actually have to go there unless we want to make a special trip. It’s about a 3 mile round trip walk to the PO, so sometimes we will walk a couple of light packages there for exercise.
