Hi everyone! I'm still feeling a bit yucky ... not Covid thankfully but not myself ... going to rest today ... I know something is wrong because I have been sleeping ... I DON'T SLEEP . I have chronic insomnia so this is very weird. My mum sold her condo for full asking price last night!!! It was the first showing and they bought it! She is so relieved and happy!! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... Daylight Savings Time doesn't really affect me because, like I said, I don't sleep. My tummy is a bit upset so I have been eating bland food ... dinner will probably be toast What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everybody!

(((Hugs))) leannec - I hope you feel better soon. Congrats to your mum - I'm sure that's a relief for both of you. Dinner tonight is a kielbasa, broccoli, and sweet potato sheet pan bake - brought to us courtesy of leftover sweet potatoes that need to be used up and BOGO kielbasa I ended up making a German pancake last night for dinner and served it with fried apples (from a can) - quick, easy, yummy, but not super healthy - eh...you can't win them all.

Hope you feel better soon leannec ! Congrats to your mom! We're going to pick up DH's car with the new tires this morning. This evening we will settle in to watch the LSU vs Alabama football game. Dinner will be our favorite grilled chicken/strawberries/greens salad before it turns cold in the next few days.

Daylight savings time is going to have a field day with me. I couldn't keep my eyes open last night so I was in bed before 8. And zing! I was up at 3. If all goes according to plan I will take a nap this afternoon and be able to stay awake past 7. 😂 Seriously I feel like my mornings get earlier and earlier.
I am on my way out the door in just a few minutes to get my nails done. I am a terrible biter. And I'm afraid if the interviewers on Tuesday see my nails they will think I'm a mess of anxiety. Which I am not. But they don't need to know I suffer from mania either.
Jeremy's out looking at a new truck. I don't want him to buy a new truck. But you know how loud my voice is compared to the voices in his head...🤣
Dinner tonight will just be a chicken wrap.

Good afternoon from a cold and rainy Munich. Our clocks changed last weekend, but I haven’t noticed much difference, as the weather has been so grey anyway.
We started the day with a call from DS and the girls - I answered my phone to see Lucia with her face covered in ice cream! She was very chatty this morning, babbling away at us, I think about the dog because his name was the only word I could understand. Sophia showed me a few pieces of her school uniform for next year - she had her orientation there this week.
Apart from that, not much has happened here today. We are going out for dinner, as tomorrow is our anniversary but DH won’t be here for dinner. We have a reservation at our local Greek restaurant, which is only about a 10 minute walk away. We’ve been there before and it was excellent.

sueg: Your DH’s job sounds very interesting and how cool to work for a company that has branches in so many different places. DH is almost 2 weeks post surgery and he’s getting antsy. He hates not being able to do much and not being able to drive. We went on a short drive this morning with me driving his truck since it hadn’t moved in over 2 weeks. I’m hoping it helped him a bit to actually leave the property! This might sound weird but I’m trying to make Walker a place to sleep on the deck. He loves napping outside during the night and early evening and currently he lays on our gravity chair. He’s getting way too big for it. We have an old cot frame that we never use. (The grandboys use the mattress if they sleep over). I’m going to drag the frame upstairs and see if I can attach some old chair cushions to it. Sounds a bit redneck but I think it might work. I know he will want to be outside even in the winter but I want something off the ground he can sleep on. Need to make a run to the grocery store and do some laundry. Supper will be chicken wraps for me and grilled burgers for DH.

leannec, the universe was clearly cooperating w/your mom. Seems like this whole move went very quickly and that she sold her condo asap is fantastic. I hope that you feel better, quickly. jeremysgirl, is this truck a new truck or a new-to-Jeremy truck? Boys and their toys! sueg, Happy pre-Anniversary. Enjoy a nice weekend w/your dh. Lucia sounds like she gets very excited when she talks to her grandparents. What a cutie. taylortroop, Walker is a very lucky doggie. Dh goes out of his way to prep cozy kitty areas and he is not a cat person. Not weird at all. It's a stay-home day. They've closed our local fwy in one direction and last time they did that we had an abundance of cars all over the neighborhood in stop and go traffic. It was surreal. Dh will have rechuaffe a/f panko chicken for dinner. I'm a little tired and need to get moving, so that I'll wake up and enjoy the day. Have a fun, relaxing and delightful day, my tribe.

We’ve decided on frozen pizzas and salad for dinner. Easy peasy!!
DS decided to take the mugs and jars off of the tops of my kitchen cabinets. I never wanted them there but Duck did. Well, they were extremely dirty! He washed everything and is packing it away for now.
I’m printing Disney pictures to work on next weekend at my crop, in case I get bored with wedding pictures. I purchased two albums for the wedding.

Hi yesterday I had a weird day. Becki calls it mixed episodes. Well I was kind of pissy all day then my dad got in and out of the car without me. Omg that is progress! I was so happy.
Dinner tonight is anyone’s guess.

I know he will want to be outside even in the winter but I want something off the ground he can sleep on I don't know what your climate is like but I know from camping that a camp cot or air mattress is actually colder than an insulated mat right on the ground because the air gets colder. JoP - those look delicious

JoP that looks delicious. They are literally perfect. scrapmaven he found a truck he wanted and he went to get financed and saw the amount of the payment. He was like Becki is never going to get on board with this. (he was right) and he ha now decided that he will buy his current truck at the end of his lease. That was the move I wanted him to make all along. But I knew we had to agree on a payment limit which we did and then he was going to have to go out there and see for himself.

linda: Thanks for the comment about Walker. He does often lie directly on the ground or the deck, however, he seems to prefer the chair most times. He hated the heat this summer so I know he prefers the colder weather. He doesn’t stay outside all night but does spend a great deal of time outside where he’d rather be in the cooler temps. The raised cot will give him an option and he’s lying on it as we speak.

I prefer California Pizza Kitchen (specifically the barbecue chicken). It tastes good and is very thin and therefore lower in calories than most others.

leannec hope you feel better soon and congratulations to your mom ! JoP those cookies look delicious ! Went out for breakfast this morning and then walked around hobby lobby. Needed some time on my own just to walk around and clear my mind. I came home and got my Halloween decorations together and just need to put them in their boxes and put away. For dinner we had hot dogs and potato salad.

leannec I posted that same meme a few years ago when daylight savings ended. I absolutely love summer and daylight savings, and it always gets me into a melancoly funk when it ends. Winter - boo! Luckily I still have another five months of daylight savings until I have to experience the aforementioned funk. I made Crispy Honey Chilli Beef with coconut rice for dinner. Yum! jeremysgirl I made your coffee cookies as well. I replaced two tablespoons of flour with spent coffee grounds in the dough mixture, replaced the cinnamon with grounds in the streusel, and added a shot of espresso instead of the milk to the glaze. I dropped the streusel when I was getting it out of the fridge, and lost about a third of it, so there wasn't as much as I would have liked on the top of each cookie. Oh well, they are still really good.

leannec that is wonderful news! JoP those look amazing Took Finn to the park walking trail for almost two hours and a group of 12 moms and their kids swarmed around him petting, cooing and loving on him. Every lap more of the same. It's tough to be a dog. Tonight is chicken, roasted butternut squash with Sage and Parmesan and roasted rosemary potatoes.

They look delicious AussieMeg . I see you served them with a latte too! It's actually a cappuccino (same same but different ) and I drink 3-4 of them a day - sometimes more on the weekend. I know you prefer your coffee black, so the thought of that much milk probably makes your stomach turn! It's only 10am and I've already had two. I need to wean myself off them, and start drinking espresso instead.

Side note to those have been around for even little bit - it’s not the same - I am far from early days but I remember when I could fill some insomnia hours with fun? discussion - I guesss just something else different 15 years later
