Sunday night, back at work. This weekend was good but way too short, lol. So Friday morning I got home and everyone was asleep so I hung out for a little bit then went on to bed. Got up just before TH left for work, played some GTA V with TK for a while, then started to go to Papa Murphy's for pizza but traffic was horrible so we gave up and decided to just order Pizza Hut. We ordered online at about 6:30 and it said it was going to take 2 hours!! for delivery. I decided to just go pick it up to save time but they were so busy that I ended up waiting over there for over an hour. Got home after TH did and we had pizza and watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break. TH went to bed and I went out driving. It was freaking busy! I forget exactly but I added it all up and I ended up with almost $250 just for Friday night! It was insane out there, lol. Got home around 5:00 and TK was asleep so I went to bed. Oh, and it rained Friday afternoon! Like, seriously rained. Some parts of town only got a trace or so but our area got almost 2 inches in like an hour and a half. So that was cool :-)
Saturday we slept kinda late, played some GTA V, then I decided to head out and do some driving early because everyone was posting on Facebook how busy it was out there. When it's super super busy, Uber does what they call surge pricing where it costs 2 or 3 times the usual fare to catch a ride. There were some areas of town showing as much as 6x surge pricing!! Saturday was the first football game of the season for the local college team so there were people freaking everywhere. I headed out around 5:30 or so and quit at 9:00 when it slowed down a little bit. I thought about going back out later but decided to just stay home and hang out with TK. I think I still made almost $200 though :-) When I got home we had dinner and watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break for movie night then TH went to bed and TK and I stayed up playing.

August 28
Thursday night! Actually since it's been pretty quiet here at work this week hasn't really been too bad. It's a little busier tonight since high school football started back but it's still not bad. So that's cool.
Not really much going on today. I got home this morning and everyone was still asleep so I just kinda hung out for a while then went to bed. Got up around 2:00 and TK had already finished most of his school work. He still had 2 days worth of Algebra to do but he was waiting for me to wake up so I could supervise, lol. We really only ended up having time for one lesson so he's still a day behind. He doesn't have school Monday because of Labor Day so I'm going to try to make sure he gets caught up by then and stays caught up. Everything else he's keeping up with and doing well! So we finished up the Algebra lesson, I made some hummus (yum!), and basically just hung out with TH and TK until time to come to work.
I 'm planning on going out driving Friday and Saturday nights. College kids are back in town and Saturday night is the first University home football game so I'm thinking it's going to be pretty fucking crazy out there. It would be nice to make some ridiculous cash this weekend :-) Assuming, of course, that I don't get ticketed and/or my car impounded because the cops are really cracking down on the ridesharing thing :-/ If I do, Lyft or Uber will pay all of the fees and get the ticket dismissed but it still sounds like it would be a pain in the ass. So fingers crossed that I can fly (er, drive, lol) under the radar :-)
Noms for the day: Yeah...we're just not even going to talk about this one...
Song: Fall Out Boy - Thnks fr th Mmrs. Random shuffle again.
Best thing: Thursday night!!
Worst thing: There are like, thousands of these tiny little flying bug things outside here at work tonight. Every time I go out there they try to fly up my nose and it is seriously starting to piss me off >:-(
Woohoo.

August 27
It's Wednesday night, so only one more day to go until my weekend. I mean, I'm going to go out driving Friday and Saturday nights but it's still a day off from here, which is nice. I got some decent sleep today so I'm not as tired tonight. Yay, lol.
So I got home this morning and everyone was asleep so I went straight to bed. Woke up around 2:00 or so and got up to hang out with TH and TK. TK had finished all of his lessons for the day except for Algebra, which was awesome. He and I went to Sprouts and HEB to pick up a couple of things (fruits and veggies!!!). TH didn't want to go so he stayed home. Got home and did one of the Algebra lessons, made dinner, and now I'm at work. He still had one Algebra lesson left for today but we're going to handle it in the morning. He's doing better with the math stuff but he's still unsure of himself. Everything else though he seems to be doing just fine with :-)
Noms for the day: Tadaaa! Still not great but much better than yesterday.
Song: Dido - Don't Think Of Me. Random shuffle.
Best thing: Fruits and veggies!!!
Worst thing: Found out that my mom might have bladder cancer :-/ She's had an ultrasound and stuff done and right now they think they want to do surgery in the next couple of weeks. This seriously sucks...
Poop.

August 26
Ugh. I really didn't get any more sleep today so I'm tired again tonight. Sigh. On the bright side though, TK had a much easier time with school today. So yay! I kinda supervised the Algebra lesson from yesterday but we didn't make it to today's lesson so he's still one day behind in that. We should be able to get caught up tomorrow though. He managed to finish up everything else except the Spanish assignment, which was to record a short intro (in English, lol) and submit it through Dropbox. We don't have a working mic so we had to order one. We should get it tomorrow so he'll be able to finish that part. Plus he sat through 2 Live Lessons. There should have been 3 but one of them never showed that the teacher logged on. So that was weird, lol. All in all though, it was a pretty good day. He's getting more comfortable with it and starting to feel like he might actually be able to do this :-)
So let's see. I got home this morning and everyone was asleep so I went on to bed. I figured TH would be up fairly early so he could wake TK up to get started. Woke up around 12:00 or so and TK had done some of his schoolwork and then went to take a nap, lol. He had a Live Lesson at 1:00 so I woke him up in time for that. TH left for work and TK did the Live Lessons, we did a little Algebra, then we went to get something for dinner. Because fuck cooking, and it sounded good :-P TK wanted a chicken sandwich from Whataburger and I got...a Subway sandwich. Yeah so, I think I'm gonna give up the keto thing for a while, at least, and just kinda try to track calories or whatever. Basically just eat smart, lol. Except for today. Today was like, junk food make-up day ¯\(ツ)/¯ Got home and hung out for a while, played a little GTA V until TH got home, then hung out with him until it was time to come to work. And now I'm sitting here trying not to fall asleep because holy shit I am fucking tired. It's nice and quiet again though, which is nice!
Oh, so there's supposed to be a decent chance of rain and a "cold front" in the next few days. Some areas of town got a little bit today but all it did at our house was thunder for a while. Maybe tomorrow though :-)
Noms for the day: So I've decided that the easiest way to do this would be to link to my My Fitness Pal diary every day. So here we go...ouch. Remember, today was my "bad" day, lol.
Song: Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out. Random shuffle.
Best thing: School thing is going well!
Worst thing: Forgot my freaking iced coffee at home! And I could seriously use the caffeine tonight :-(
Yeehaw.

August 25
Holy crap I am tired. Sigh. But it is totally dead here at work so that helps, lol. So I got home this morning and woke TK up fairly early. He had tried to go to bed early last night but had trouble falling asleep so he was still kinda tired. He should sleep well tonight though :-) We messed around a little bit with the school stuff then I went to bed around 9:00 and TH helped make sure he really got going. I woke up as TH was leaving for work (at like 1:00, grrrrrr) and couldn't fall back asleep so I just got up.
So, let's see. The first day of school was a little rough but I guess that's to be expected. It's definitely different than what he was used to at his old school, lol. TK has a total of 7 classes that need to be worked on daily. For most of them that means do some reading, work on little activities or whatever, and answer questions and stuff. Plus there's an average of one Live Lesson every day since most of the classes have one per week or so. Plus there will be quizzes, essays, and tests scattered throughout the semester. So today when I got up he had finished his World Geography and Biology lessons and was working on Algebra but he was having a hard time with it. I told him to wait until tomorrow morning and we would tackle it together. I think that's going to be his problem subject :-/ He had live lessons in both Algebra and World Geography so he finished with those around 4:00. I let him take a little break and we played some GTA V until about 6:00, then I tried to take another nap (it didn't work) and he did his English and Spanish lessons. He didn't get to the Physical Fitness stuff but nothing is due in that class until Friday so that was ok. Tomorrow should be pretty much the same with the addition of a computer class. Dunno why it didn't start today like everything else, lol.

August 24
Sunday night, back at work. Tomorrow is the first day of school so I guess everyone went home early to get ready because it is slower than dog shit here at work. Which works for me, lol. I think tonight was the other guy here at work's last day here, too. He's supposed to work Wednesday and Thursday afternoon but he's having his wisdom teeth yanked Tuesday so he's probably just going to take off. Then he starts the overnight security job down at the clubhouse on September 1st. So we'll still get to hang out some :-)
So Friday morning I went online on the way home and got a Lyft! It was a guy going from down close to my house to downtown. It only took about 20 minutes or so and I got like $16 for it. TK was still awake at home or I might have stayed out a little longer. Stopped by HEB on the way home to pick up some almond milk because I was almost out. Gotta have almond milk for my iced coffees! Got home and played a little GTA V with TK then hung out with TH for a while. We had planned on going swimming at 11:00 when they opened but one of the teachers from the online school called so we chatted with him for a while. Basically it was the "welcome to our school, let's get to know each other" call, lol. After we hung up with him he was going to hold what they call a Live Lesson, which is basically an interactive powerpoint/chat/Skype session with the teacher and all of the students in each class. So that was fun to watch. TK will have one of those for each class every week, so basically a different one every day. So we finally finished up with the school stuff and TH started getting ready for work and TK and I headed to the pool. We were there maybe 20 minutes when they made everyone get out because they had run out of chlorine. Fucking grrrrrrr >:-( We decided it would be too much trouble to try to go to the other pool so we just went and got my car washed, went to Target and farted around for a while, then headed home and hung out until time for me to make pizza for dinner. I made one frozen pizza for TH and TK to share and a cream cheese crust pizza for me and TH to share. Nom nom nom :-) TH got home and we watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break for movie night then he went on to bed. TK and I stayed up a little later but since we hadn't had a nap all day we ended up crashing pretty early. I had kinda already decided to stay home and hang out instead of going out driving so that worked well, lol.

August 21
Holy crap I am tired tonight. But it's Thursday night, so yay! It's crazy busy here at work again, which sucks. I guess everyone's trying to cram in as much as they can before school starts Monday. Dunno. I'm glad I won't be working here this weekend though, lol.
So I got home this morning and TK was still awake so I hung out with him for a while. Went to bed around 8:00 or so and woke up at 1:00. Never could go back to sleep :-/ On the bright side though, we found out that TK did get accepted to the online school, so TH and I spent the afternoon going over all of the info and completing the parent orientation shit. TK did his orientation too, so really all we're waiting for is the first day of school :-) Anyway, we finished all of that up and I tried to take another nap but it didn't work. Sigh. TH made some of the jalapeno cream cheese thingies for dinner. Nom :-)
Other than that, not much going on. I'm kinda thinking about taking Friday night off so I can just hang out at home and chill. Dunno yet. I do need to go get my car washed before I go out driving this weekend so I'll probably do it sometime tomorrow. TK and I might go swimming tomorrow, too. We'll see.
Noms for the day: Cheese and pepperoni on a low carb tortilla for breakfast. Cheese, pepperoni, and almonds when I woke up. Iced coffee on the way to work. If I get hungry later I brought some jalapeno cream cheese thingies and some little sausages for dinner.
Song: Young The Giant - Mind Over Matter. Another new one. I think, lol.
Best thing: Online school!!
Worst thing: Tired :-/
Yippee.

August 20
Wednesday night. For some reason it is crazy busy here at work. And traffic on the way here sucked. freaking. ass. I don't know if everybody was drunk or just stupid or what, but it was ridiculous. At least the AC here works though! I was kinda afraid that I would get here tonight and find out that it was fucked up :-/ I was sitting here last night and water started dripping through the ceiling where the AC sits so I guess the drain was backed up. Or something, lol. I shut it down and put the trash can out to catch the water and it eventually stopped. It got hot in here though. Sigh. Everything seems ok now though so either they fixed it or it fixed itself. Either one works for me, lol.
I was seriously tired when I got home this morning so I went straight to bed. Got up around 1:00, hung out with TH and TK for a while, then TH and I went swimming. TK didn't want to go so he stayed home. It was awesome - there were like, 12 people there :-) Swam for a couple of hours then stopped by Walmart to pick up a couple of things. Got home and played a little GTA V with TK and now I'm at work. TH and TK had eggrolls for dinner and I nuked some frozen meatballs and threw them on top of a salad to bring to work.
Bonus picture - Spider with babies :-)
Noms for the day: Nothing this morning. 2 flax buns with peanut butter and a couple of cheese sticks when I got up. Iced coffee on the way to work. If I get hungry later I have the meatball salad.
Song: 50 Cent - My Buddy. Random shuffle.
Best thing: Found a wolf spider here at work last night. You know, the ones that carry their babies on their backs? So cute!!!
Worst thing: Stupid AC problem last night >:-(
Hooray.

August 19
Kinda tired tonight but not too bad. Got home this morning and TK was still awake so we played a little GTA V until TH got up. Hung out with him for a while, thought about trying to go swimming early but we weren't sure if it was going to end up raining or not so we decided to wait. And of course it didn't rain. Sigh. It worked out well though because TK fell asleep on the couch at like 9:30, lol. TH went to work and I went to bed and woke up around 4:00. Couldn't go back to sleep and TK was up so we decided to go swimming. We got over to our favorite pool and it was closed because there was no chlorine. Only the little baby pool was open >:-( It was kinda late but we still really wanted to swim so we went over to the one that's almost as nice but not free. Surprisingly it wasn't very busy! Swam for a couple of hours then headed home. When we got there my neighbor buddy was outside so I stood around and talked to her for a while. TH got home and we made some mystery meat patties and cauliflower for dinner. Lol, they're actually not bad. Plus they're pretty cheap and not super high carb. It's a good little last-minute dinner thing :-)
So my neighbor buddy quit her job yesterday. She was a unit clerk (I think it's called) at the NICU of a local hospital and she said she just got tired of all the drama and bullshit. I told her that our security company needs someone for my site and someone for TH's site so I think she's going to look into it. So yay, lol.
Other than that, not much going on. Still haven't heard anything about the online school :-/ I'm afraid we're not going to get everything finished before school starts on Monday. If we don't, we should really go ahead and send TK to the high school he's supposed to go to but I really don't want him going there, even for a little while. So hopefully we get a definite answer in the next day or two.
Noms for the day: Sunflower seeds this morning. Cheesy patties and cauliflower for dinner. Iced coffee on the way to work. If I get hungry later I have a little bit of fajita salad left over from last night.
Song: Bad Suns - Cardiac Arrest. Another new one! Don't get used to this, lol.
Best thing: Hadn't had a chance to chat with my neighbor buddy in a while. It was nice :-)
Worst thing: My other cop buddy (the one who didn't leave) is on vacation for 2 weeks starting today. I won't have anyone to talk to at work now :-(
Okey dokeys then.

August 18
So, I didn't go home and sleep this morning, lol. I wasn't tired when I left work so I logged in to Lyft and Uber to see if I could get a hit on the way home. I got almost home and Uber dinged! It was fairly close by so I headed over there. When I got there though, there was already another Uber driver waiting. Apparently the lady who ordered it fucked up and managed to call for 2 Ubers. So I ended up with nothing. Dumbass >:-( After that I just said fuck it and went home. TK was still awake so we played a little GTA V until TH got up, made some breakfast, watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break, and I went to bed around noon. TH woke me up when he got home. I had thrown a package of chicken fajitas in the crockpot this morning so we had dinner ready.
Other than that, not much going on. TH didn't feel like swimming this morning and I went to bed too late to go this afternoon, so hopefully tomorrow. It never did rain today, either. There was plenty of rain out there and on my way to work I could see some lightning but it all stayed off to the west again. Sigh. Oh, and we never have heard anything for sure from the online school that we're trying to get TK into. We've turned in all of the necessary paperwork but they're still processing his application. Hopefully we hear something in the next day or so because his old school starts next Monday and we need to know whether or not we can withdraw him!
Noms for the day: Breakfast - 3 eggs, 3 sausage patties, and shredded cheese. Iced coffee, cheese, and a couple of Slim Jims on the way to work. If I get hungry later I brought a chicken fajita salad :-)
Song: Neon Trees - Text Me In The Morning. A new one!
Best thing: Got my pay summary from Uber today and it was a lot more than I expected! Apparently they have certain hours over the weekend where you're guaranteed to make a certain amount per hour, and if you don't make that much in fares Uber will make up the rest. I didn't figure I would qualify because I didn't stay logged in the whole time but I guess it counts for as long as you're logged in. So that was kinda awesome :-)
Worst thing: Getting kinda nervous about the school thing :-/
Yeehaw.

Yeehaw.

Sunday night, back at work. Yay, lol. So far it hasn't been very busy at all, which is nice. They were talking about a chance for rain earlier today but it all stayed off to the west. There's supposed to be a decent chance again tonight after midnight and tomorrow afternoon so we'll see what happens. We need to try to go swimming tomorrow though because we never did end up going this weekend. The pool we really like is only going to be open for another week :-/
So when I left work Friday morning I logged on to Uber and Lyft to see if I could get a hit on my way home but I didn't. Everyone was awake when I got home so I hung out with them for a while then took a nap. Got up a little bit after TH left for work and TK and I went to Sprouts for some flax meal, Toys R Us to look at toys, and the carwash (to wash my car, lol). We found a couple of Mega Bloks Halo and Call of Duty sets at Toys R Us that were on clearance so we ended up getting 3 sets for about the price of one. So that was awesome :-) Got home and played some GTA V, I made frozen pizzas for dinner, and after TH got home we watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break for movie night. Oh, and TK's buddy came over to spend the night. TH went to bed and I took a quick nap then went out Lyfting and Ubering! Finished up and got home about the time that TH was getting up to go to work and the boys were still awake so I hung out with them for a little while then went to bed.

August 14
Thursday night, finally! I'm kinda tired tonight but it's not too bad. TK was awake this morning so I stayed up and played with him for a while, hung out with TH, then went to bed around 10:00. Woke up at like 2:00 and couldn't go back to sleep so I stayed up for a while. Ended up taking another quick nap around 6:00, took a shower, and now I'm at work. So far it's a little busy but not anything like it has been lately. Which is nice :-)
So our new guy came in this morning to train but apparently he came to work sick because he was only here about 45 minutes before the boss sent him home. Basically just long enough to come in and spread his germs and shit around. I can't afford to be sick and miss work so I really hope I don't catch anything :-/
Other than that, not much going on. I may go into driver mode on the way home in the morning and see if I can catch an airport run or something. Dunno yet. TH and I stopped by HEB on Wednesday and he and TK went to Sam's today so I don't have to worry about doing any grocery type stuff. I do need to go by and get my car washed again because it's been about a month since the last one. It's not super dirty yet but I want to keep up with it so it never has a chance to get super dirty, lol. We should try to go swimming at least once this weekend, too. And I think TK's buddy is spending the night Friday or Saturday night. So yay :-)
Noms for the day: Pork rind nachos for breakfast. Iced coffee and some cheese and pepperoni on the way to work. If I get hungry later I brought a salad type thing.
Song: Kaiser Chiefs - Coming Home. A new one!
Best thing: TH bought me a huge bag of peppermint candies and a bucket of Double Bubble gum to hand out to my passengers. They're gonna wubs me, lol :-)
Worst thing: Headache, kinda :-/
Woohoo.

Didn't get a chance to write last night but there wasn't much going on so I guess that's ok, lol. Got home yesterday and TK was still awake so I stayed up and played with him for a while. Hung out with TH then went to bed around noon or so. Got up just before TH got home and took a shower, made burgers for dinner, and came to work. It was pretty slow at work, which was nice.
TH was off today and he was awake when I got home so I stayed up. We hung out for a while, watched an episode of Prison Break, then went swimming when the pool opened at 11:00. It's always so nice and quiet early :-) Stopped by HEB on our way home to pick up a couple of things, had some heat-and-eat wings for lunch, and went to bed around 3:30 or so. So I'm kinda tired again tonight. I have iced coffee and a sugar free Rockstar though so I should be ok, lol. It's a little busier here at work than it was last night but still not too bad.

Holy shit I am tired tonight. I wasn't tired when I got home this morning so I just stayed up. TH got up and we made spam and egg breakfast tacos, watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break, then woke TK up and went swimming! When we got there at 11:00 we were the only ones there for a while. It was awesome :-) Swam til about 12:30 then went home and TH left for work. TK and I stayed up and played for a while then I tried to go to bed but didn't end up falling asleep until like 4:30 :-( So I'm thinking I should be able to go to bed early tomorrow, lol.
So it rained and stormed for some areas in town but we only got a little drizzle at our house. It did drop the temperature, at least. When I left for work it was only 82 instead of 92 like it normally is. So there's that, lol. There was enough lightning at work though to knock out some of the gate arms, which was awesome. I think there's supposed to be another decent chance of rain tomorrow so it should be a good day to sleep early then just kinda hang out at home.
Noms for the day: Spam and egg breakfast taco in a bowl. Sunflower seeds later. Iced coffee and a couple of flax buns on the way to work. If I get hungry later I brought a taco salad. Nom :-)
Song: alt-J - Left Hand Free. A new one!
Best thing: Got my Uber phone today so now I can start Ubering any time I want to! TK says I'll be an Uber Lyfter, lol.
Worst thing: Found out that Robin Williams died today. Sad :-(
Woohoo.

August 10
Well, here we go again. Sunday night, back at work. I'm tired tonight but not as bad as I thought I would be. So that's good. Not much going on here at work. So far tonight it has been pretty slow. I think some of the kids who are going back to college left over the weekend so I'm sure that helps. And then school starts back 2 weeks from tomorrow!! I seriously can't wait :-) Not for TK, though. We've actually decided that since the high school he's supposed to go to this year kinda sucks ass we're going to try out one of the online schools. It's a fully state accredited public school so it follows all of the guidelines and everything of the regular public schools. Graduation requirements and everything are the same, it's just basically like taking online classes at the local community college versus going to class. And since it's considered a public school, it's free :-) So we'll give it at least a semester and see how it goes.
So let's see. I stopped by Randall's on my way home Friday and picked up a couple of pizzas. Got home and TK was awake so I stayed up with him for a while. Took a nap after TH left for work, got up before he got home, and made burgers for dinner. We watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break for movie night then I went out Lyfting. I only ended up getting 5 rides but I made $87! Plus $30 in cash tips from one group who I took downtown at the beginning of the night and then picked up and brought home at the end of the night. They were a trip, lol. I tried to tell them that I wasn't allowed to accept tips but they just kinda "left" it in my cupholder when they got out of the car. So that was cool :-) Got home a little early because it was pretty slow and TK was already asleep so I stayed up for a little bit then went to bed.

Thursday night! Finally :-) Didn't get a chance to write last night but there's not really much going on. Got home and went to bed early yesterday, woke up early and hung out with TH and TK for a while. Made breakfast for dinner then came to work.
Got home this morning and everyone was asleep so I went to bed early again. Woke up at about 2:00 in case anyone wanted to go swimming but nobody felt like it. TK was asleep so I hung out with TH for a while then took another nap. And for some reason I'm still tired tonight. I guess I didn't sleep very well :-/
So, that's pretty much it. I need to stop by Randall's or something on my way home in the morning and pick up a couple of frozen pizzas for tomorrow night. I think TK's buddy is going to spend the night. And I'm going to go out Lyfting for sure. Also...I just found out that I got approved for Uber (another ride-sharing service)! They actually give you an iPhone to use while you're driving for them, and I should get that in the mail before next weekend. So I'll be able to do both at once, and just go pick up for whichever one dings me. It should be fun, lol.
Noms for the day(s): All keto!!
Song: The Black Keys - Lonely Boy. Random shuffle again.
Best thing: Uber!!
Worst thing: Cramps :-/
Eh.

Got busy last night and didn't have a chance to write. Not really much going on though. Got home yesterday and TH was awake so I stayed up and hung out with him. Went to bed around 9:00 or so, woke up at like 1:30, played with TK for a while, and took another quick nap. So I was tired last night but it wasn't too bad.
I was seriously tired when I got home this morning though so I went straight to bed. Slept from about 7:00 until 11:30 then couldn't fall back asleep so I got up. Hung out with TH until he left for work, went ahead and made a skillet thing for dinner so it would be ready tonight (taco meat with cabbage, onions, diced tomatoes, and green chilis), then woke TK up and we went swimming for a while! We were there for about an hour and a half and probably would have stayed longer but they had to shut the pool down for a while because the pH was too high. So whatever. Got home and played a little GTA V then I took another short nap. So I'm pretty freaking tired again tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to get some decent sleep tomorrow :-/

Sunday night. back at work. And I'm tired. And I feel like crap. Sigh. Basically felt like crap all weekend so we didn't do much of anything. Got home Friday and took a nap, woke up after TH left for work, hung out with TK until TH got home, and watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break for movie night. TH brought home dinner from Golden Chick, so nom :-) The chicken tenders are breaded but they're not too bad - only 5.5 carbs each. So I got a 4 piece combo with a diet Dr. Pepper and gave TH my fries and roll. TH went to bed and I didn't feel like Lyfting so TK and I stayed up late.
Saturday we slept kinda late then went to Target, Petsmart, and HEB. We were looking at having some ID tags made for the kitties but the cheapest ones they had at Petsmart were like $8. I think we're going to look around online again because it seems like they're cheaper that way. Got home and played some GTA V, made a couple of frozen pizzas for dinner, watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break after TH got home, and stayed up playing after he went to bed. So no Lyfting again :-/
