aKathy's What's for Dinner 7/8

Happy Monday!

I solved the Wordle in two guesses today, setting me up for a good day.

Had an early dr appointment this morning and I'm just a smidge over the line for being diabetic. The good news is that my insurance should cover Ozempic. I've been paying out of pocket so that will be some savings.

I'm in Social posting mode this week which is what I really like to do so I'll be plugging away at that.

Dinner tonight will either be spaghetti or stuffed shells. Probably just spaghetti because stuffed shells seems like a lot for a Monday.

Hope you all have a great day!

I was surprised too because I'm right on the line and everything I'm reading says you need two consecutive tests to make a firm determination. I go back and see her in 3 months so I'm hoping I can get the numbers down a bit. 

Yes I really hope you find that knitting lesson. I feel like you would just have so much more confidence and it would push you over the hump.



Well, talk about waiting until the last moment. LOL!

Thank you for all the well wishes the past couple of days. I didn't come back yesterday because I just couldn't. But reading all your posts this morning made me smile. I'm still in a weird place, but, today I'm having a bit more luck beating away (in therapist speak, I'm "redirecting") the crazy thoughts. I also called me therapist and she was at least able to bump my appointment from Friday to Wednesday. I think that will be better because it gives me a couple more days to get my mental shit together and I won't have a therapy appointment on Friday when I'm leaving for the weekend and I'd like to be able to just look forward all day on Friday. If I can just keep my brain on task, I should be able to enjoy my weekend. Squirrely brain.

I have just returned from my office. I was going to work in there for a while, but they had the air off all weekend. And then my desk has two floor to ceiling walls. Even though the blinds were closed it was at least 10 degrees warmer at my desk than in the center of the building. You all know how I feel about hot weather. Felt swampy and uncomfortable. So, I came home to be comfortably cool and be with my dog and cats.

Jeremy was a really good sport about dinner last night. I just didn't feel like making it. I had a banana and then a bowl full of cherries and blueberries and called that good. Tonight I will make him the spaghetti he's been craving.

That is so cute!   

For a knitting lesson, see if your community or one near it has a knitting group. They are often run by the senior citizen center in my area, but I believe anyone can go. You may be able to find help there.

Dh and I are having tuna sandwiches for dinner while DS has a dinner with work people.

DS is closing on his house on Friday (he was 4 when I joined 2 peas!).

we will recheck his paw today.. and the vet is just down the street. my dd went to a special private high school for kids with autism.. and they had to take a year long dog class.. as a way of improving social skills (dogs forgive all!!) and she is super good with the dog.

Hottest day of the week is today and then we are gearing up for the effects of Hurricane Beryl. We won’t see anything major, just a whole lot of rain.

YDS is here today so DH can replace a part on his girlfriend’s car. They have air conditioning in the garage and a fridge full of beverages so they won’t be suffering!

I’ve been asked to take grandboy #3 to soccer tonight unless it’s cancelled due to heat. DDIL has to take grandboy #1 to baseball and DS is working late doing heat checks on the tracks. I’m hoping the game is cancelled because I hate seeing the kids play in the heat.

Supper tonight will be leftover steak.

I'm embarrassed to admit 5 but I only had vowels until the 4th try

My oldest dd is the big fairy in my avatar ... she is 25 now and will be buying a house within the next year!    .  

There are still ribs and brisket left from Saturday, however I am "beefed out" so I will grill some boneless skinless chicken thighs and have a salad..
DH can finish up the cole slaw and potato salad along with his meat

I worked last night and it wasn't a bad night...however there was a power outage...
Do you know how pitch black it is in the inner sanctum of the OR without windows😱😱😱
Thank goodness the generator kicked in fairly quickly!!

Hope the window replacement goes well scrapmaven. Ours were done a few months after we moved in and made a huge difference. 

I’m alone and will probably have rechauffe for dinner. I have corn on the cob that needs to be eaten as well as ribs from Karen that I didn’t eat last night.  

I am happy to be here today! I am coming out of a 7 day sickness that really kicked my butt. Dh brought something home from his trip to San Diego. He had it mild, it hit me like a ton of bricks.  I had to reschedule my flooring install and I haven't been able to see baby Hudson. BUT....I am on the mend!!

Dinner tonight is Miso Soup from a local place.


cadoodlebug We love the 1%!!!!! I am pretty good at it too!! toot toot


scrapmaven so excited about your new windows. How many days is that supposed to take? Did you post a pic of your living room?

We were all pretty good down to about 50% then kind of hit and miss but the 1% question, wowzah!

Sorry you're been sick but glad to hear you're on the mend!
