aKathy's What's for Dinner 2/2

I’m feeling much worse today. I didn’t sleep well last night because I was so stuffed up and couldn’t breathe out my nose. Breathing out my mouth made it so dry that I couldn’t swallow. It was a rough night. I think it’s probably just a cold but I’ll do a Covid test in a bit.

Grandboy #1 was supposed to come for a sleepover tonight but we’ve cancelled that. DH has taken him out for the day to my other DS’s house where they will do some work and burn some wood in the fire pit.

I am snuggled in the recliner chair with my book, drink and box of tissues. No idea on supper.

Happy Friday!

it's a pretty lowkey day at work but I can't get one of my apps to work to download reports so that's frustrating.

Didn't end up going to dinner with the parents last night so we'll go tonight, probably to a local Italian place I've been craving.

Hope you all have a good day and a relaxing weekend.

Dinner is up in the air... DH didn't get the job.

taylortroop , sorry you have Covid. Take care and get lots of rest.

jeremysgirl , I read your update on your job. What a mess. You have gone above and beyond, I hope that new job comes through.

It's nasty outside so I'll work on projects today.

Oh, we signed up for a trip to Portugal in 2026! How's that for optimism?

TGIF!!

Thanks, all. He's upset, but there's really not much that can be done. I think what's getting him down the most is that they said that they went with someone with more experience, but then why bring him all the way out there if that's what was going to happen? We drove 4 1/2 hours to my parents, and then finished the trip (5 hours) the next day, so it was definitely a lot for us to do for that.

scrapmaven - if it happens again with my car, yes, it will be going somewhere else!
and thank you  

Yes, it is. And just an FYI, I never, ever, ever envision you as an 80 year old woman. As far as I'm concerned you are a young chickie who takes a nice, long walk every morning and eats right too. YOu take care of yourself.

Happy Friday! Tried to pop in yesterday but it turned into a crazy day for me. The designer dropped off a replacement lamp, a bathroom rug (too long so back it went) and we made a decision on a new shower curtain. Then I had to make a run to the storage unit, walk DD's dog and get the pest control company out to set a live trap for the possum who took up residence in the rafters of the garage earlier in the week. Had to walk DD's dog again so dinner was rechauffe.  Today is nearly as crazy! First up was to have them come fetch the possum who took the bait (wet cat food). He was relocated to an extremely large public park a couple of miles from here. I'm sure he'll make lots of new little possum friends! Then met with another financial planner (think we may have found the right one this time). Now I'm off to HEB to fill the fridge and pick up medicines.

Expecting a very rainy/stormy overnight but it is supposed to clear out of here by noon tomorrow. I'll need to roll down the umbrella and put away the cushions. Once I finally get all that done there will be some sewing time!

Not sure what dinner will be tonight. Hoping for divine inspiration while at HEB.



What model car do you have?  DH has a 2020 Mercedes sedan that has been doing the same thing for the past few months.  They could never find anything wrong, even though they kept the car 3 days one time.   He took it in this week for a 10,000 mile service and they changed out the starter battery because it failed the test (even though they tested it a couple of months ago and claimed it was fine).  Ask if your car has that and see if they can change it out.  

I hope you enjoy Iceland and Norway as much as DD and I did!  Both were beautiful countries.  We went end of May/early June and nearly froze in Iceland (turned out to be the coldest May in 100 years).  When we flew over to Oslo they were experiencing a heat wave and temperatures were pushing 90!  DD had to stop at Massimo Dutti and buy some shorts!
