Hi everyone! Still feeling yucky ... not Covid, just a bug ... so annoying! No energy at all! I won't be meeting my mum for breakfast today obviously .... She also won't be coming over for dinner on Sunday's anymore because they serve a roast beef dinner at the residence on Sunday and that is her favourite!!! No idea what dinner will be for me ... depends on my appetite ... This is what I posted on Facebook today ... I vote bored ... I am totally addicted to OIKOS raspberry pomegranate yogurt right now and eat way too many in a day! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

leannec I hope you feel better soon! I struggle with boredom eating. I limit my easily accessible snacks to almonds and pretzels. It helps a little. Dinner here is ziti with chicken and broccoli. I volunteered to cook and give ds the day off.

I've got all sorts of things accomplished this morning. And with relatively little drama I picked out an old crochet project that was unfinished and I thought I'd work a bit on finishing that too.
I am waiting for the mall to open in 45 minutes. I'm going to try to find some black dress pants for my interview Tuesday. Jeremy also wants me to go to the pet store and get food and a new bed for Amelia. He plans to give her a bath later. So I will wash her blanket too.
I don't know what's for dinner. Nobody shopped this week. I guess we will just cross that bridge when we come to it.

It’s a beautiful fall day here. I’m thinking that I might load Walker into the car and take him to the local conservation area for a walk and some fall photos.
His new bed on the deck is finished and looks good. However, he doesn’t love it like I thought he would. DH says he will lay on it in his own time. We will see.
Supper tonight will be take out pizza.

leannec Sorry you are still feeling yucky....Good idea to stay away from your Mom, and just lay low and rest.
Dinner will be rechauffe take out from our favorite Italian place. This was well planned from friday night, as I worked 5 hours last night , covering for a un covered shift😱😱 How does it happen that the time keeper can post a time block with shifts uncovered??? She knows someone has to be in the OR 24/7 Oh well, means OT and a bonus for me. I digress...I am also working tonight also, I'll make salads to go with our dinners. No cooking for me! I just walked the dog, and am about to head out to pick the remaining tomatoes, and pull the plants. Who would have thought I would still be harvesting tomatoes on November 5th!!!

leannec - I am sorry you are still feeling bad. Hopefully you can shake this soon. This morning was church, then DH drove direct to the airport from there, leaving me to catch public transport home. While I was walking from church tot he underground station it started to rain and the wind was brutal. Fortunately, by the time I got to my end station, it had calmed down a bit, so my walk from the bus stop to home wasn’t too bad. This afternoon has been watching an online knitting class I am currently doing, while working on my knitting.I cast on a pair of fingerless mitts, as I am going to need them to go walking. We had a lovely meal at the Greek restaurant last night, but once again had too much food, so I asked for it to go, so I have half a chicken souvlaki and a heap of beef gyros meat for dinner tonight. I think I’ll cook some potatoes or some frozen fries to go with it and there is tzatziki in the fridge too.

Just got back from a walk to Town Center and the Farmer's Market. It is supposed to rain for the next 3-4 days. Dinner will be Tri-Tip roast with a fruit salad and zucchini. I think this is adorable for a healthy appetizer:

leannec I hope you feel better. I wasn't feeling great last night so I slept in and woke up to a text that our cousin is in the hospital with heart as well as some masses. She has had more than her share of issues. I took off all the butternut squash from our plant. So tonight looks like I will make some again to go with the turkey breast and either pasta or parsley potatoes.

Marina, I'm sorry that your cousin is so ill. ((((HUGS)))). cadoodlebug, those appetizers are really cute. What a clever idea. leannec, I hope you feel much better, quickly. Is your mom enjoying her new place? Does she hang out downstairs during the day? We're at mil's house doing some more purging. Though, we're gonna take a break and go for a walk in a few minutes. Dinner will be takeout Chinese food. I have a puzzle down here that needs serious attention. Enjoy today, my tribe.

Is your mom enjoying her new place? Does she hang out downstairs during the day? She is! She went down to the "pub" yesterday to listen to some live classical music put on by the excellent musicians at a local university ... she really enjoyed it even though she isn't really a classical music person.

I went to a daughter-in-law introduction party last night. I wore a black dress with sequins. It was sleeveless so I had a big scarf covering my shoulders. It was fun. I went with BFF. My parking ability worked and as usual I got the best spot in the lot.
Today is pretty quiet. The dogs are playing, kids are doing laundry and I am reading peas.

I have wedding hangover even though I literally had 2 sips of wine the entire day. Everything went pretty well except a vegan guest who didn’t rsvp she was vegan and proceeded to berate our caterer. He must be used to it because he calmly put her in her place. He ended up having a vegan meal for her but I saw she dumped all the food on one plate. They brought her extras of all the veggies too and left it in a heaping pile and didn’t eat a bite. So rude. She was someone’s plus one so we’ll never see her again. Also one family member that I’m not naming had a tantrum because she wasn’t the center of attention. Fully expected that too so we all ignored it. My siblings were so helpful all weekend. Thank goodness they stepped up. I had a lot of last minute things. Dd looked beautiful. I’ll try to post a picture from her photographer’s IG I barely took any.
Dinner is up in the air. I’m resting in bed til I pick up my dog from the kennel.

Hi! It’s been a crazy busy weekend. The weather has been beautiful so we took full advantage of it yesterday and drove around. Stopped at a place we love to hike and walked around. Today has been all about basketball games for a couple of the DGS’s. We brought three of them home with us. I am picking up around the house. DH is out raking leaves. Sorry you are feeling down leannec. I’m glad the wedding went off without a hitch teddyw. Would love to see a picture. The kids are coming over for chili tonight.

teddyw with all the work you did on that wedding, I'm not shocked at all your body is playing hangover today. You just ran a marathon of mental and physical exhaustion. Hopefully you can take a couple of days and lay low to recover. I can't wait to see a pic of the beautiful bride. ❤️

Thank you scrapmaven . They think it's cancer. She has had cancer now several times. teddyw glad to hear the wedding went well overall. What a shame the two guests didn't behave well.

teddyw, I can't wait to see photos. That rude guest will hopefully get dumped by whomever brought her. What a cow. I'm sorry, but calling her a tofu would not have made sense. As for the other guest, well, there's always a guest who needs to upstage the bride. In my case it was my grandfather's wife. She wore her wedding dress and shoes to my wedding. Keep it classy, people. You will need time to recover from the running around, excitement and festivities. So, rest as much as you can. leannec, your mom's gonna have fun whether or not she wants to do so. Good to hear. Delta Dawn, you inherited my mother's superpower. No matter where she was or how crowded it was, she always found a space in front. It was really awesome.

The enchiladas were very bland. The source for this recipe (Delish) is very hit or miss. So, if I use this recipe again, there will be a lot of changes!

Hi the kids and I decided to day drink and my dad said it was too early for him. We had fun.
Dinner tonight is chickeny chicken of some sort. DDIL DS and I will invent the wheel.
They haven’t seen anything they want to buy. I told them I was sorry. Grandpa and I got lucky with my place. I losve living with them here. They may need to move into my bedroom because there is not enough space. I told DS to discuss moving down here and I may insist.

jeremysgirl the biscotti looks amazing!! I've never made it before. It is relatively easy? Yesterday I made Scottish Tablet. I saved a recipe for it a while ago, but I couldn't remember where I saved it, so I used this one: Scottish Tablet. I'm really happy with how it turned out, the texture is perfect. It is definitely NOT something to make if you're on a diet - the recipe calls for nearly 1kg of sugar! I'm not sure how much that is in imperial measurements, but I reckon it would be close to 2lb!
