What are you doing right now?

Taking a break from raking the lawn, my shoulders are killing me—started a workout routine in the morning, lesson learned, no upper body workout on raking days! debating on giving up and going for a hike, the sun is out and it is nice out. Later tonight I will put snow tires onto one car, get that task done with.
 
Finally gotten tired of feeling crappy and being a fat blimp. I'm 5'11" and weight 213. Need to get back down to 160-170. In December I'm getting back on my Ketogenic/Carnivore eating plan. No more beer, chips, sugar, etc.
 
Wiring in a second 100Ah lithium iron phosphate battery (in parallel) to my truck camper. Also insulating the batteries and installing automatic heating pads as LiFePo4 batteries cannot be charged when they are below freezing.
 
Babysitting my gas station friends baby. I love watching kids they are the best people. This is a little baby just under a month old. Bundles of joy and fun. Can’t wait to have my own kids. And also have been going thru my home collection of tools. Turns out I have way more duplicates of things than I thought or stuff I don’t use. So I’m going to take it to work tomorrow for my coworker who is just starting out to look at and see if he wants anything. If not I’ll post it for sale here or another forum. Just trying to get extra money. Normally I’d keep stuff but I don’t need 10 million 5/8 sockets or 5 of the same knives or whatever. And I’d rather keep one really nice thing of each than have 10 bad ones. Plus money sounds better than having tools sit around that I don’t use and just sit in storage. I’ll be keeping anything that I do use or that’s not an extra. Just don’t have room for all of it either.

I sold one car. I have one more I might consider parting with. Other than that the cars are too sentimental. Probably going to send the 04 Camry to the scrapyard soon it is dads so not mine to sell. I’d consider parting with my Jeep but the Beetle and the truck are staying and when I get another vehicle my Escape goes too.
 
Eating dinner. BLT’s unfortunately lol. Grandma called and said we have multiple sick family members so Thanksgiving is pushed back until one weekend sometime before Christmas. So we are going to do a Thanksgiving at home. I asked if I could invite my friend and his mom since they don’t have anyone to celebrate with since his parents split and they said no unfortunately because they don’t let any of my friends inside the house. They have always been weird about me having people over. I feel so bad for my friend l just want him to be happy. At least I don’t have to buy a turkey because my work gives out turkeys every Thanksgiving and hams at Christmas time. Oh well I’m not huge on family gatherings anyway but I’m happy I can actually go Black Friday shopping this year since I’m not working the day after. It’s pointless to work that day.
 
Listening to Christmas music and waiting on pops to get out of the bed. Must be nice to get to lay in bed all day. At least this is the start of a 4 day weekend and Thanksgiving celebration on each day. And I got lots of beer as presents today so I’m happy.
 
Since Thanksgiving at grandmas is postponed I’m helping mom get some things ready. And also waiting on dad to come on so we can go get breakfast and sodas. It’s too hot in this house for me lol. Oven on always makes it hot. Mom is beyond angry that she has to cook. I’m like cheer up it’s the holidays. She hates cooking is the only reason why she acts like that lol. It’s because she does it all day at work. I’m excited for this 4 day weekend.

This is a real problem in your family. You are pouring money out like crazy and you eat garbage, junk that WILL kill you.

If your dad can't or won't cook. YOU need to step up and learn to cook. You sponge on food, I bet your mom doesn't your laundry. You sponge energy, room, etc. This year help your mom.

Learn to cook, start now and next year cook a great Thanksgiving meal. It's not hard, just busy.

We eat what’s good. The problem with healthy food is it’s nasty. I can make sides I just ain’t got a clue how to cook a turkey or pie. I do laundry in exchange for the entire basement for my tools, collections and my dog. Mom and dad can’t climb many stairs anymore so I don’t mind doing laundry. I try to do home repairs if I have the knowledge.

Healthy food does not need to be nasty. We eat well and tastes good. You have been fooled by the food industry

How old are your mom and dad? They struggle with stairs? You may suspect the reason why.

Dad is 63 and mom is 55. The healthiest thing I eat is Chipotle that is one delicious restaurant. I hate going there but the food is good.
 
Checking email, thinking of seeing what is on sale online that I didn't know I needed but now desperately do.

Did my morning workout (after sleeping in, 'natch). Contemplating breaking out of the mountain bike so as to tackle the very wild rail trail (not). Turkey dinner comes for supper time, trying to think of other things to do in the meantime. Sure there are some household chores to do at some point.
