Hi everyone! I'm posting early today because I'm going out for breakfast with my mum in a bit ... then I need to stop for gas and a car wash and a few groceries ... Ex is coming over to fix my garage door opener ... it died and needed a new part ... hopefully the part solves the problem because I hate parking outside! I should pack a few things today as it is my LAST DAY OF FALL BREAK! My move out date (November 2nd) is creeping up fast! I know ex will give me a hard time that I was lazy all week and didn't pack anything ... he hated that I am a procrastinator ... now he doesn't have to deal with it! My mum and dd#2 are coming over for dinner tonight ... dd will decide what we will have so I don't have a clue right now. This is what I posted on Facebook today ... I love my Hello Fresh subscription but there is a lot of prep and steps resulting in a bit of a "bomb went off" situation in my kitchen by the time I'm finished! No biggie! Happy birthday The Birdhouse Lady! Hope you are having a great time camping jeremysgirl! Positive thoughts coming your way scrapmaven! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

A fairly normal Sunday here, even with it being DH’s birthday. As ever on Sunday, he walked to the bakery to get breakfast, then we had a family FaceTime so everyone could say Happy Birthday and watch him open presents. Sophia was very chatty as usual, and dear little Lucia looked totally bewildered by it all. After that church, then home for lunch, which was just birthday cake and coffee. I’ve been out for a walk and DH has packed for his US/LatAm trip starting tomorrow and gone to work for a bit to make sure everything runs smoothly in his absence.
Dinner tonight is a beef casserole that is simmering away in the slow cooker. It smells great!

Good Morning! I stayed up too late last night watching college football. Lots of exciting games. I’m not moving very fast this morning. Going to scrapbook some more today. I must do some laundry! I’ve got dinner in the crockpot. We’re having a roast, carrots, potatoes and onions. I’ll fix a side salad too. Don’t stress over packing leannec. I work better under pressure at the last minute and it always gets done. Happy Birthday The Birdhouse Lady and to your DH sueg.

Good morning! Happy birthday The Birdhouse Lady! We had quite the thunderstorm last night. Woke me right up. I fell back asleep quickly and slept pretty good. Our friends that live down here are on their way over and we are prepping breakfast burritos. Tonight's dinner will be dutch oven jambalaya. It is one of my camping favorites. I hope you all have a nice Sunday!

Good morning. Happy Birthday to The Birdhouse Lady . May your year be filled w/joy, lots of laughter and wonderful moments. Happy Birthday to Mr. sueg . I wish your dh a wonderful year. jeremysgirl , I hope that you're having a fun camping trip.
leannec, your ex is not allowed to comment on your box packing speed. You can pack whenever you want! Today I have new resident orientation w/mil. Apart from that I'm resting and healing. I'm currently reading Gordon Ramsay's autobiography. I must say that it explains his personality, thoroughly. If nothing else, it gives me a lot of respect for his work ethic. I highly recommend it if you like that sort of read. Have fun, relax and enjoy today.

Don’t stress over packing leannec. I work better under pressure at the last minute and it always gets done. Samesies!!! It will eventually get done because I have no choice! leannec, your ex is not allowed to comment on your box packing speed. You can pack whenever you want! Exactly! His criticism is one of the reasons we are divorced ... he is perfect you know! Today I have new resident orientation w/mil. Apart from that I'm resting and healing. I'm currently reading Gordon Ramsay's autobiography. I must say that it explains his personality, thoroughly. If nothing else, it gives me a lot of respect for his work ethic. I highly recommend it if you like that sort of read. Oh, I totally want to read that! I'm going to look for it for my e-reader.

Hello everyone! Had a fun but busy day yesterday.
And a welcomed storm rolled through with lots of rain and t-storms. Still overcast and cool. Might rain again too.
Dinner will be Mexican rice bowls. Rice with lime, onion, bell pepper, black beans, seasonings.

For dinner DH is grilling a whole chicken on the rotisserie I will do veggies, probably mashed potato and broccoli or asparagus.
I was called in last night for a Trauma STAT sadly the 18 you did not make it to the OR...October in Salem is a S__T show, and there were multiple motor vehicle vs pedestrian accidents last night.....this was the second 18 yo that died this week!!!
I have done my walk and am working my way through laundry...I had the brilliant idea to wash the mattress pad.....it is taking MULTIPLE cycles of the dryer to dry, therefore backing up the wash loads waiting to dry....wish I had a clothes line some weeks!! I will be taking a nap at some point as I am working tonight.
Happy Birthday to The Birdhouse lady & Mr sueg🥳🥳🥳

Happy birthday The Birdhouse Lady! I have about 5 pages left and my 82 page album will be complete! We're allowed to stay until 2 so that shouldn't be a problem. I want to go for a walk to. I think I'll make chicken noodle soup for dinner.

Your dinner sounds delicious! jeremysgirl I am glad that you were able to sleep in spite of the thunderstorms. ntsf Sounds like a nice day! rymeswithpurple Happy Belated Anniversary! teddyw Congratulations to your DD on her engagement and Happy Birthday to her! lucyg Have fun with your cousin. karenlou Your dinner sounds great! I am so sorry that you have lost so many teenagers lately. God Bless You and all of the nurses out there, who take care of these patients. On a side note, a family of volunteer firefighters here; just lost a 21-year old family member to a 1 car accident. It’s so sad. scrapmaven You just never cease to amaze me. Here you are not feeling 100% and yet you are there helping your MIL. You are such a blessing to your family. cadoodlebug Good for you! It is amazing how fast you get your scrapbooks done! The Birdhouse Lady Yesterday I went next door to my neighbor’s home for a girls day. I had so much fun and didn’t get home until after 9 pm. Today, I went to church and grocery shopping. I need to clean out the fridge tonight; because trash day is tomorrow. I also have to work on my Bible study for tomorrow night. Dinner is going to be grilled chicken, grilled asparagus and baked potatoes. I hope all of you have a peaceful day.

leannec hope your door has an easy fix! Happy birthday The Birdhouse Lady and to your DH sueg jeremysgirl you camp in style! karenlou I'm so sorry. That must be so hard. cadoodlebug I may have missed your comment. Is the album from your trip? teddyw Congrats on your DD's engagement! scrapmaven you are wonderful to be there for your MIL even while unwell. Hope you get some rest. destined2bmom sounds like you have wonderful neighbors! Glad you had fun. Yesterday DH took off from working on the house (painting the outdoors and replacing all the wood trip) and we spent the day at Stanford walking around their trails and stopping at their bookstore (which is like a Barnes and Nobles store). Our pupper was thrilled by all the leaves and scents. We then went to Crate and Barrel at the outdoor mall where I bought some new water glasses though I think I should have bought the smaller ones. Oh well. With butterfingers we'll be replacing them in no time. We dined at a fish restaurant and walked around. It was a lovely day. Tonight is rechauffe salmon and some fresh roasted vegetables and potatoes. Here is a picture of my sweet pumpkin: Fall day by Marina 2p, on Flickr

Today is the graduation party for my cousin’s DD (I may have referred to her as my niece before, but she’s actually my cousin’s DD … we are close) at my sister’s house. So that’s dinner. I’m making pasta salad. We already did a multiple bakery run to Berkeley early this morning. I’m ready for a nap now. Happy birthday to The Birdhouse Lady and Mr. sueg! karenlou, what a tragedy. I’m sorry you have to deal with the sad stuff in your job, too.

cadoodlebug I may have missed your comment. Is the album from your trip? It's from our trip to Ireland in May. I'll do the Croatia trip in March.

DH and I went for a bike ride this morning. It was a bit chilly but we bundled up and loved the fresh air. My ankle is healing nicely and although it’s still a bit swollen and tender, it doesn’t prevent me from riding my bike.
Tomorrow is an “anything goes” garbage day. It’s a day when you can put virtually anything at the curb and the garbage man will take it. But first, people go crazy driving around town checking out other peoples garbage for treasures. I’m sitting on the couch watching all the traffic slow down to check out the neighbours crap. Geez!!!
Supper tonight was pizza.

Marina I am such a ridiculous animal lover and I just want to cuddle your dog. karenlou I just can't even imagine what kind of toll that must take on you losing patients like that. I could never be a nurse because I would just be broken. I give you so much credit. Hugs Our friends loved our dinner. We had such fun with them today.
