aKathy's What's for Dinner? 8/31

I want to send shouts out to destined2bmom who I hope is getting better and will join us again soon. tanya2 I read your post this morning and the universe sometimes knows better than us what is the right thing to do, hence the slip up with your DD. Honestly, it's much better that she knows. This is tough and you all need to rally around as a family right now. You need her as much as she needs you. lucyg I'm sorry for the chemo hold up, hopefully your doc can get to the bottom of it soon.

I was so jealous of your acupuncture appointment scrapmaven that I scheduled myself one for tomorrow evening. Hahaha! I'll sleep like a baby. I deserve it. You know I sat today, just sat, almost meditation, but I just tried to let my mind go. And I realized something, I keep saying I'm feeling better than I have in years. And I really do believe that. But I was thinking about how overjoyed I am with that despite the fact that when I actually sit quietly and attempt to clear my mind I realized that I still have a very weird sensation in my head, it is kind of like a pressure with a bit of dizziness, I feel sick to my stomach nearly all the time whether it is empty or full, I clench my teeth without even knowing it until I have pain in my teeth and jaw. This is why I don't like to sit still. LOL! Because I go on ignoring all those things all the damn time and just thinking I feel fabulous. So I scheduled the acupuncture appointment afterward and I just thought it might be helpful to relieving some of these weird low lying things that even good medicine can't take away. I'm not going to let them get in my way, or I should say, it's clear I don't let them get in my way. But I guess I also don't really stop to think about things like this and pausing this morning just really made me consider how the inside of my body feels.

Tonight I'll be having dinner at Mom's. No idea what's for dinner but she did ask if we like brussel sprouts.

I'm never sure it is a side effect of the medicine or a symptom of the illness that the medicine just doesn't manage. Either way, I have always accepted that medicine is not magic and these things have to be managed by me. I guess the good news is that I am able to ignore them or at the very least unconsciously adapt to them to the point where it isn't even obvious until I'm just trying to sit quietly and clear my mind. So, to sum up, I guess I'm not feeling too bad. Haha...but I am going to tell my acupuncturist that I am hoping for some calmness and clarity in my head.

Grilling bratwurst, corn on the cob and sweet potatoes.
Saying prayers for all that need them!

I went for a walk this morning after the dog walk and while my cleaning gal was working her magic trying the contain the dog hair.....in my defense I do vacuum almost every day, so I do my part!!!!

jeremysgirl ~ wishing you peace as you continue your journey.

I spent the day with my dgs.  He finally got his passport and we went over to Buffalo shopping.  I let him wander into stores, had breakfast and Bob Evan's and lunch at Olive Garden.  My tummy is paying the price for this.

The Walmart in America are HUGE compared to here so I just let him wander and also thru Cabela's and Dick's Sporting goods.
In exchange he let me indulge at Hobby Lobby (fabric was 40% off).  Such a kind, wonderful young man he has become.

Said please & thank you, opened doors for me, he is just a great kid.  He was impressed that his Oma didn't require gps (I know the area quite well).  I let him pick out a few treats at Aldi's.  No issues at the border both ways and we chatted & laughed all day long.
I am tired but a good, productive tired.

Tea & toast for dinner.


**GypsyGirl** ~ I purchased the backing fabric at Hobby Lobby for a quilt and will take 4 quilts to the longarmer tomorrow.  Have fun sewing on all the bindings.  

DH and I went to the theatre this afternoon to see Rock of Ages. It’s a musical with all music from the 80’s. It was soooo good! Even DH loved it and he’s not a theatre guy. My mom babysat Walker for us and she said he was also very good.

Supper tonight was chicken tenders and salad.

Jr. in Highschool.

Bread and peanut butter, and watermelon. I'm thinking popcorn, maybe.
Not maybe.

My sister and I went to her county fair. We spent hours in the quilts. Neither of us know how but our grandmother did. She got Alzheimer’s when we were teens so she didn’t get to teach us.

I’m thinking of finding us lessons. A woman in my enamel studio is a quilt consultant so I’m going to ask her.
Bought lots at the Italian grocery and went to the local farm and bought cherries and tomatoes.
Came home to take dh to Mohs surgery tomorrow on his shoulder. He was a lifeguard when he was young and is paying now. He doesn’t believe me that he won’t be able to golf with stitches.

Had corn & tomatoes for dinner.


taylortroop I need to see if that’s in our season coming up. We got a subscription again.
