aKathy's What's for Dinner 5/23

Happy Thursday!

I slept hard for about 10 hours last night and had crazy dreams. I woke up with a slight sore throat, which I hope is temporary as my BFF is coming to town for the holiday weekend tomorrow! I don't want to be sick!

Dinner tonight will be someplace out with my parents. I'm thinking of the little American place up the street that has good prime rib dip. I split it with my mom and it's plenty of food.

Hope you all have a great day!

We leave shortly for the medical center. They are doing his biopsy at 1:15 pm. The procedure and recovery should be done by 4 pm. My entertainment bag (iPad and needlepoint) has been packed. Tomorrow morning he has his first Kytruda treatment in his doctor's office. So things are rolling right along. Thanks for checking in!

Reading and thinking of everyone else, just not much bandwidth to do much more than check in these days. Not sure what dinner will be tonight, but there is food in the fridge again so we have options.

My cleaner was in this morning so I ‘worked’ in my office. I did a bit more research for our trip next week and watched some YouTube videos to refresh my memory of how to do granny squares in crochet.
This afternoon I went for a walk and then practiced making squares.
I heard from older DS - he was nominated for an award in his local area for his volunteer work with the regional Toy Library. He didn’t win, but I am still very proud of him and what he’s done. This past year, they have added a section in the library dedicated to First Nations books and toys, which is really innovative.
DH is out for dinner tonight - a colleague from Australia who has been working here for six months is heading home this weekend so they are eating out.
I bought some ready to cook teriyaki chicken skewers at the butcher yesterday, so I’ll have them with some rice and vegetables.

**GypsyGirl** - I hope all goes well for your DH.

well there is nothing in the house for dinner.. we ate out at local town --it was so so good. we had Penn cove mussels... about 2 blocks up the hill from Penn cove. we often see these on the menu in san francisco and elsewhere.. there is a mussel farm in the bay.

and I had a no bun sockeye salmon blt.. and dh had fish tacos. we did splurge sharing a lemon/rosemary creme brulee.

so today I have to go to the store sometime. I finished all packing, getting rid of crap in upstairs bedroom/bath/sewing room and downstairs bathroom and chest with papers and linens.

what is mostly left to do is kitchen cleanout and utility closet. we are taking stuff to storage, goodwill and to the dump. realtor is coming today, and the neighbor may be interested in buying house. that would help in the speed of the process. he has an airbnb on the other property on the stub road in front of the house. there is a main road up the hill and unlike most houses, we have a county road going to this house and the other one. both houses share a stairs to the beach.. but the road just ends at the high bank and there is no public access to the beach. most houses have private drives they have to maintain off the main road.

I guess I’ll eat the last of my neighbor’s graduation party Mexican food for dinner. I mean, I cooked yesterday, that means I don’t have to cook today, right?

Thinking of jeremysgirl and Mr. **GypsyGirl** today. Sending good wishes.

We're up at 2:30 for a 7AM flight to Iceland. Had a great day in Tallinn, Estonia yesterday. This past week has flown by.

I hope you see the Northern Lights

Arrived in Iceland to torrential sideways rain, our pennance for almost 2 weeks of gorgeous weather. Tomorrow will be better! Luckily our flight wasn't full so DH moved to another row so I could lay down and sleep.
