Hi everyone! I'm posting early because I'm meeting my mum for breakfast at Denny's soon ... my appetite is slowly getting back to normal! Today I will be picking up a few groceries, doing a bit of laundry, waiting for my Hello Fresh delivery and that's about it! So exciting! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... sometimes the photo of a guy on dating websites is only attractive because of the dog! Dinner tonight will be rechauffe pork dumplings from my birthday dinner last night! What are your plans today? What is on your menu? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

Great meme, leannec. Sometimes the big fish they are holding up in their photos might br a better companion too. I have no idea about dinner yet. We have tons of delicious rechaufee. It looks like a beautiful morning but rain is supposed to move in at some point. Nick mentioned maybe trying to replace my car stereo which quit working. That would be greatly appreciated as I have to go over to South Bend for an awards night Thursday. Otherwise I have the usual Sunday stuff...lunches, laundry, etc. Hope everyone is doing well today.

Rain rain rain here in the midAtlantic. The pond behind my house is swollen and flowing over … and I’m thinking of the Canada goose pair who just started with eggs in their nest.
My plans for the day include taking an online painting class, watching the PBS App and ordering Chinese food. It’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it.

I have the third load of laundry in...I did the switch over from winter/flannel sheets and quilt to spring /summer...so I have at least three more loads to get done YIKES!!!! I also stood by while DH had his first post op shower...He did well and really didn't need me...however I felt better being near by. I have also walked the dog...in the rain...Sadly rain all day today so I won't get my walk in.....I draw the line on the dog walk in the rain.
Dinner will be rechauffe from th other night, I will get another piece of salmon from the fish market as there is only enough left over for one.

Hi everyone! I just got out of the shower and I'm waiting for Jeremy to return with my grocery order. Once I put that away I'm going to log into work for a little while. I have been working on something with a deadline and I took tomorrow afternoon off. So I thought I'd work a bit today. The sun is out so Jeremy is going to try to get in a round of golf.
I'm making pasta fagioli soup for dinner with salad and bread.

Not sure what’s for dinner. Most likely chicken and maybe asparagus. Gloomy day again here today and western New York. I have some online classes. I need to finish up for my continued employment at my nieces daycare. It’s kind of boring. I wish I could just take the test at the end because I’m pretty sure I could pass him without watching stuff for an hour.
Going to touch base with my primary tomorrow because I’ve had some anxiety issues this week. Nothing major but I think it’s probably time to go from 25 mg of Zoloft to maybe 50. Give it a try and then see what happens. It’s not as bad as it was but I just wanna be proactive about it
I also need to sort some scrapbooking pictures. I need to finish up my great nieces album who turns one in July before I start on new baby one. Pretty sure I told you guys that my niece and nephew are having another girl. They are the ones that lost their son shortly after birth a couple of years ago.
I also think I’m gonna watch a couple more episodes of firefly Lane

Good Morning!
I plan on it being a lazy day. I’ve got laundry going but not planning on much else.
It’s starting to rain here. Going to be this way for a few days.
I have no idea what we will have for dinner. Even though it’s almost May, chili sounds good.
Have a lovely day, everyone!

Good evening. Not much happening here today. We went to church this morning and then I went for a walk before we sat down to watch football. Our team was in the 3:30pm game, which is now finished with a not very convincing 2-0 win. I did get a fair bit of knitting done while watching though.
Dinner tonight is chicken thighs on the grill with boiled potatoes and asparagus, topped with hollandaise sauce.

Just got back from our walk. Windy and cool, high today 75. The wind is playing havoc with our allergies. Dinner will be Horseradish Meatloaf. Awesome piano shadow railing!

Hi this is directed at leannec how did you have pot stickers leftover? We eat them until there is no more and May order even more after that. My own were just “ok” I mean the filling was excellent but I am so uncoordinated that they would fall apart and I was taught. The recipe I had from Shanghai friends and Hiroshima friends was identical. I just cannot seal the dough. They are called gyoza or jiaozh.餃子。 My dinner tonight will involve corn. There will be meat but that is a mystery. I think one of my drugs has stopped working. It’s hard to know which one. I feel terrible. My brain is a bit short circuity.

karenlou we have no choice but to walk our pupper in the rain. Sometimes he will only way to do his business at the park. Drives us crazy. We have a large back garden compared to most California homes, and he won't do a thing until I take him to the park. Yesterday we had a wonderful time with family meeting our grand nephew for the first time. Babies are the cutest, especially when they smile. I bought some of our favorite books since baby books in Sweden are hard to find in English. And our golden ran and ran with my SIL's dog and slept the best yesterday. The family set up an icing machine for DS's leg and my BIL brought out a cane for him to use vs. the walker and he's much happier with that. Truly felt the love for DS there. We all brought something to share and I made a black bean and corn salad with red peppers and red onion. We had several different salads and fish. We got a call from a neighbor who was traveling but left their college kids home, that someone was trying to gain entrance saying they lost their phone. We called another neighbor, also college kids, who said someone was ringing their door. I called the police and suggested "if they have time" might be worth a drop by in our neighborhood. It's gotten so squirrely these days. I love my echo dot. I used my phone to have it read an audio book aloud while we were gone in case the guy came by and would think someone was home. DS is happy to be home. We need to get his new glasses fixed as they got damaged in the fall. May need to just order another pair if they can't be adjusted. Tonight we will make a tri-tip with jasmine rice and some vegetables.

Hi this is directed at leannec how did you have pot stickers leftover? We eat them until there is no more and May order even more after that. I order two boxes of them at a time! I'm pretty much the only person who eats them so there are 24 all for me!

Dekai means huge. They were the best we had found.

leannec & Delta Dawn too funny I had pork gyoza for lunch too. And I also wondered how you had leftovers! I'm the only one eating them here too but they still don't last long one of my girlfriends here who is also on dating apps has commented many times about why men post pics of themselves with either a dog or holding a fish LOL And she agrees that sometimes the animals would make a better date its a rainy gloomy day here again today too. so far did a load of dh's work laundry & some other puttering. Dinner will be roast chicken with mashed potatoes & gravy, and some kind of veggie.

We are having chicken thighs (bbq maybe), corn, salad or coleslaw and broccoli maybe. Corn and salad might be enough.
Do you want to hear something fun? I am going on a quest to find my scrapbooking tools that are boxed up. I had so many great things (including oodles of nice scissors) that I can use in my daily life. I had just the best tools and I think I kept most of them (I hope!)

Delta Dawn , please call your pscyh in the am tmw so that you can get a med adjustment and feel better. We get Dai-Lee brand Gyoza from our local Japanese market. I love gyoza and truly miss it. Dh will steam it w/rice and salad and that's dinner. Speaking of dinner, tonight dh is gonna have Chinese takeout. It's just about time for a big basketball game. I will be be enjoying my puzzle. That's a really cool meme cadoodlebug . leannec , glad that you're feeling better. Sounds like maybe stress was a big factor in your appetite issues.
Marina, I'm still thinking of you and your son. Are they still searching for the driver?

I found some chicken in the freezer and that made me very happy. I don’t hate going to the grocery store but I don’t enjoy it either. Also when I say we have 3 full freezers you need to believe me we need nothing. Chicken is chicken if it comes from the good grocery store and I am sure we will love it.
I might eat a wrap with cream cheese. I need some lunch soon.

I got the dog out for a walk before the rain started. I have the opposite problem with Walker - he will only do his business in our yard. He has never peed or pooped while out on a walk.
Our next door neighbours have Covid. However, I saw the husband at the grocery store this morning! WTH?? Had to go past him in an aisle and he said “better stay away from me!”
Supper tonight is burgers for DH and I will have the pattie without the bun and salad.
Tomorrow I’ll be taking my mom to the dentist. “Some fun, huh Bambi!”

I am making Swiss Steak with mashed potatoes. I wanted egg noodles, but dh likes egg noodles even less than he likes mashed potatoes. Of course, right after I cut the potatoes small for mashed, he suggested a different type of boiled potato. 🙄
In other news, our grocery order was dropped off around noon and ds took some bags to the basement. No matter how many times I tell the men inmy house to remove the groceries from the bags when they take them down, they dont do it. So, my milk sat in the basement for about 3 hours. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I popped it in the fridge and told them to smell it when it's time to open it. We use Lactaid milk, which is ultra-pasteurized, so hopefully it will be good- it costs about $7 for a 3qt jug.

Cauliflower or bust. Actually, it doesn’t look bad for as old as it is. I’m probably too lazy to make anything else, but there’s always cheese, fruit, French bread, etc.

He isn’t always ready to go, but wants as much time outside as possible. My walking the dog theory is I cannot walk far but I can walk often. I hope that is the same thing.

scrapmaven I don't think so. When I spoke to the detective's secretary earlier this week they still hadn't received the completed police report. A police friend told me an officer has 10 days to file it. So I will call later this week. Thank you for thinking of him.

Last week I had the most incredible tempura cauliflower at the Japanese fusion place we went to for my mom’s birthday dinner. I would go back to that place just for the cauliflower … and the beet salad with grapefruit and fried Brie cubes. oh my dear sweet lord …

Wow, how about those Warriors! Curry scored 50 points, most ever in a 7th game in the playoffs. And they were playing away! Looney with 21 rebounds! Now we play the Lakers, ugh!

I would go back to that place just for the cauliflower Ha, there is a Lebanese restaurant I went to a couple of months ago, and I would go back just for their cauliflower too! And I'm not even a huge fan of cauliflower. DSO requested curry a few days ago, so I said I would make a chickpea curry. I already had the ingredients as I'd planned to make it anyway. He then said "Oh, maybe we could have chickpea curry and a massaman?" Um, I'm not your mum! (She cooks at least four different curries when we go over there.)
