A balanced Monday

Starting the week off right

With the windows cracked and a little room fan on, we slept like the dead. Oh and when the 7am alarm went off we moaned and groaned. Both of us didn't want to get up. Yay for Monday.

I got up just after 7:30, dressed and made my way downstairs to feed Sampson his nasty wet food. I'm having trouble adjusting to a schedule. I've always had the babies graze when they were hungry from the big feeder. This wet food business will be a hassle when we are out of town. I got bacon in the oven and then made fried eggs. I toasted the no carb bread (no carb because I used a zero carb protein powder in the recipe) and it was much better. It's a nice addition of texture to the meal but certainly isn't needed.

I did a smidge of work and then freed up to work on the Zumba Halloween costumes. With the paint coming off my first ice bags I re-made both today using blue duct tape, which is a total pain in my arse, and paint pens. Man I haven't used paint pens since high school! I used to paint names, you know with the balls on the ends, and fill the containers with candy. Paint pens are so fun! When done I ran a couple errands and then got home and did the small loop walk with Dany. Lunch was a chocolate peanut butter shake and a little Cedar Cove before doing more work.

I finished around 4 for the day and procrastinated in the grueling task of filling out my early voter ballot. I do not want to stand in lines in Nov and the ballot drop off is just a block away. Friends have mentioned that it took them quite a while to read through amendment details. It took us an hour to finish it and afterwards I made a batch of stuffed burgers for dinner. It was the fastest batch ever, finishing in 20 minutes. Kev was going to watch the Broncos/Texans game at a brewery with David and I wanted his help with the T-Rex before he left. He got the burgers on, headed out, and I scooped them off after an hour of cooking at 300 degrees. I devoured two while watching last night's Poldark and then The Voice.
