What's in your cup this Monday morning? Bonus, what is on your plate? Bonus-bonus, what's on your mind?  |

I had decaf earl grey which is my tea of choice lately. Sorry, english breakfast.
I just made a thick slice of toast topped with cream cheese, capers, a hint of thinly sliced red onion, everything bagel seasoning, and smoked salmon. Thank you, leftovers from brunch!

Dark roast with a little oat milk in my mug
S just popped the leftover cinnamon rolls in the oven, so I guess that's what's for breakfast.
My brain is deep diving into new outfit ideas that are a step above t-shirt and jeans (since that's the only thing I ever wear).

I'm drinking black decaf and feeling very emotionally exhausted. I would love to curl up and take a nap.

I’m starting on my second cup of coffee. I’m hungry!
I think I’ll have scrambled eggs with carmelized onions & feta later.

On my second cup of black coffee. I had the hardest time rolling out of bed this morning. I had the window cracked open and a thunderstorm was rolling in.
I'm planning on leftover pineapple curry for lunch.

First and only cup down this morning. Milk only.
I made the decision I need to cut caffeine down. Wish me luck.
Yogurt and fruit for breakfast. I need to take the cat in at 11:30 for an ultra sound. She’s still not eating much, but she still bitches about her water constantly. So she must be feeling a little better.

Coffee with hazelnut creamer. I had french toast and scrambled eggs with the kids and then random breakfast sausage and bacon when hubby got up. F desperately wants to go outside but refuses to put clothes on and it's right around freezing so sorry kid.
I can't wait for it to finally start to warm up!
I'm going this week to get my light for my seedlings and some other gardening things and I'm super excited =D

I've had two cups of black coffee. Then a smoothie. Now another cup of coffee.
I have an interview later today. I'm not really looking for work, but Linkedin still sends me job emails. One looked interesting. I'm not exactly interested in the position, but the school concept is intriguing and I wanted to find out more, so I sent in a resume. Got a call a few days later to set up a first round phone interview today. I'm curious and looking forward to speaking with the founder or the principal or whoever it is that will be on the call.

Columbia blend with milk and sugar in a travel mug. Back to our regularly scheduled programming after a week of spring break. Dropped all 3 girls off at school, ran through the grocery store, and now sitting at home eating soup before picking E and A up at noon.
Got a paper at drop off about preschool graduation at the end of May. My cousin is still having her (already twice rescheduled) wedding and we were on the fence about going. Now, with this, we definitely won't be able to. I was kinda looking forward to a weekend away without the kids, but also glad the choice was made for us.

Still on my first cup with Starbucks almond and oat milk caramel macchiato creamer. Rough start today. Mint chocolate protein shake for breakfast. Looking forward to my blt for lunch.
On my mind: had a really, really busy weekend. Am now wondering whether I ought to be more busy more often? Am I lazy? Or was that too much and I should not cram that much stuff into one weekend. Am I over ambitious on weekends?

We decided to go the beach this morning so we picked up coffee and breakfast sandwiches on the way. I had a big cup of something but I'm realizing now I never asked MH what it was. I ate it with an egg and bacon biscuit sandwich.

I keep reading the "cup" in the title of this thread as a bra cup. So every time I see the thread, I think "boobs."

MH and I are wall-mounting a TV together today, so any Ts & Ps you can send our way is appreciated. 🙄

The kids are with XH this week for spring break and my parents are gone to their summer cabin. I underestimated how quiet it would be around here.

I had two cups of coffee and a spoonful of icing for breakfast. N got lots of new things for her birthday yesterday but she's mainly interested in blowing bubbles and her new balance bike. So we've been outside a lot today! Today's a holiday for MH but he's working anyway. Thankfully I have tons of ham leftover from yesterday so I don't have to think about dinner. Bonus pic of N's birthday cake! She wanted a kitty cat cake for the longest time but when I let her look through my cake decorating book she picked a number cake covered with Smarties. It was so easy and I think it looked pretty cute (though I was trying to use Easter m&ms because the colours are nicer, and I ran out and had to use some Smarties as well).  |

milano mh and I have done that together before as well. So you have my T&p’s as well as my sorries. Good luck! mintyblueair the cake is so cute! I don’t know about smarties. But when I made a similar style cake, I refrigerated the leftovers. Mh ate a piece straight out of the fridge, and cracked his tooth on an m&m. So don’t be us!

We tried to hire someone to do it but they canceled twice, at the last minute, so we decided to just do it ourselves. We have mounted this exact TV in a smaller size, twice now, so you would think it would go smoothly.... |

But I did need to help lift the monster in the basement onto the wall mount. Thankfully we haven’t had to remove it. |

It's now 15 minutes past the time they were supposed to call me, so I'm considering the call cancelled.  I really was looking forward to learning more about the school. Their goals seemed like such a good fit for what I do. Oh well. I guess the universe thinks I don't need the distraction. |

I had my usual drip coffee with half and half and vanilla stevia. I didn’t sleep well, so I’m really tired. I did get M into the Parks and Rec summer camp, which is really exciting bc it’s like half the price of most camps around here. I had leftover cake and whipped cream for breakfast bc I’m an adult.

My cat is on quality of life watch.
She has a mass on her bladder. They checked her lungs to see if it had spread, it hasn’t.
So we are trying a couple medications to see if we can make things better for now.
She’s 18, so we definitely want to keep it noninvasive.
I hate this stage, where you want to help them, but you also don’t want to extend their life if they are not doing well.
At least we have some answers.

So sorry sarenu. 18 years is such a great, long life you’ve given her. I hope she stays comfortable for her remaining time. |

I'm sorry sarenu, that's so hard. I hope the medications can make her more comfortable for a while. |
