aKathy's What's for Dinner? 12/29

After our adventures yesterday, today was a stay home day. DH went out early to do some grocery shopping and to buy our fireworks for NYE, but apart from that and me going for a walk, we’ve just been puttering around the apartment.
I finished my latest knitting project and now will work on one of the two pair of socks I have on the needles. I will cast on something new to mark the new year on Monday, probably a sweater for me.

DH is cooking dinner tonight and is making a recipe from the recipe book I bought him for Christmas (Death by Burrito) - asada carnita burritos. He isn’t quite going all the way - we are using store bought tortillas, rather than him making them from scratch with the other part of his Christmas gift - a tortilla press.

My stepmum’s surgery was delayed until probably tomorrow, as the doctor was worried that she hasn’t been off blood thinners for long enough. So long as the blood tests are fine in the morning, they’ll do the surgery.

I think ds and I are going out for a celebratory dinner tonight. Dgd is staying here with me until this afternoon when I’ll take her and a carload of stuff to their new place. 

We're going to the huge mall half an hour away to do some returns. We'll come home for lunch of Chicken Noodle Soup. Maybe watch some bowl games and/or play games. It's going to start raining around 4 PM through tomorrow so DS will be driving home in the rain.

Dinner tonight will be Tri-tip with zucchini, fruit salad and some cranberry freeze.

TGIF!!!

My bestie gave us 2 bales of straw this morning and we spread it around the perimeter of the fence where Walker runs all the time. The grass is worn down to mud and he gets filthy every time he goes outside. Hoping the straw will keep the mud down a bit.

I’m babysitting the grandboys tonight while DS and DDIL go out with friends to see the Dueling Pianos at our local brewery. I’m trying to finish the book I’m reading so I can take a new one with me.

Supper will be a turkey sandwich.

Dinner tonight is OUT...courtesy of ME!!! Part of DH Christmas gift...we are dining at a resturant close to a Concert Venue and then headed to a concert.....This was one of his gifts from me!!!

I am on call tonight...couldn't get rid of it😱😱😱
I am working 4 hours tomorrow night.....doing someone a favor...and then on call NYE..my Holiday call shift
DH just placed our take out order at the Chinese place so the will be ready  for him to PU sunday evening.

I am taking down Christmas...the kitchen and dining room and part of the living room are done.
My DF who was sick last WE is coming Sunday AM for breakfast and gifts exchange so the tree will stay up until then.

My Christmas decorations are finally all down and put away. I'll miss the Christmas lights at night but am happy to start getting my house in order. As a plus I was able to get rid of 2 bags of things that I know I won't be using next year.
I am now doing a load of laundry and after that I might start cleaning one room at a time. I'll see how I feel.

For dinner we are having stuffed salmon with asparagus.

Also it’s going up to 12° today! It’s awesome!

I went to the lab on Saturday last week. I just talked to my GP and she said I have something rheumatic like RA or lupus or something going on. She was very serious about it. I have to see a rheumatologist in January.

Positive thoughts coming your way that it is not something serious!

Positive ANA and she is concerned. More so because I have been going for pain problems and now we have a problem. I hope cutting out sugar will help. I do have a bit but I will try to quit it. It just seems like the colonoscopy and now this are symptoms of something weird. It’s all my mother’s family coming back to haunt me. 

I'm replacing a few door knobs today. The previous owner painted the cheapo glossy gold ones. I'm sure it (might have) looked nice when fresh but now as it's wearing off, they look grimy. Kind of like really dirty hands build up that hasn't been wiped off in forever.

I still have to replace the front door which was also painted outside and the inside is a combo of finishes. The door knob inside is gold (no paint?!) Yet the deadbolt is a polished silver or nickel. Weird.

I'll tackle that another day when it's warmer again.

Dinner will be (probably/maybe/who knows)
burgers on the forman grill. Can't beat dine in 4 minutes. I often don't bother with a bun.

Happy weekend all.

I'm getting off work in about an hour. I still have a few things to get done, like payroll but here I am peaing!

It is super cold here today. This morning it was -23 degrees and it has warmed up to a balmy -11. 

This weekend I am hoping to get all my Christmas down and packed away. I also feel the need to organize a few areas. What is up with January that people feel the need to purge. I swear I did this last year but here we are again and I want/need to get rid of stuff.

Hope you all have a relaxing weekend or a rowdy one if that is what you like. 

Yikes, and to think I was just about to complain about it being 15C (49F) here!

It's Saturday morning and DSO and I have just had bacon and eggs outside. Now the wind has sprung up and it looks like rain is on the way. I'm just sitting here wondering when summer is going to start! We're already one month into summer, but we've only had about two nice warm/hot days. And as I'm typing this, DSO just said "Arrrrgh, when is this $#!T @%$&ing weather going to stop?!" 

Dinner was the last of the tuna mornay from Christmas Day. All other leftovers are now going to the dog (meat) or the goats (veggies). DSO is looking after a mate's goats while he's away. 

And now as I'm typing, it's started raining. Grrrrrrr!!
