aKathy's What's for Dinner 8/1

We did not get on the road until 10:45 so about 45 minutes ago. I'm not gonna name names but somebody is not very happy. And then the dog was very excited to go. So much so that she behaved quite like a toddler who ate 3 lbs of chocolate. Which made somebody even crabbier. I've just given him a snack. So maybe that has made him less crabby. I'm nervous to ask though. 4 more hours. 🥴

I don't know what's for dinner tonight. I made a bunch of lentil burgers. And I bought a bunch of salads at the health food store last night. And I also have a bunch of fruit.

We always make Chex mix for our road trips. He lucked out too because I had to make changes to mine. So he got his very own stash of regular that he doesn't have to share. I got plant based.

Happy Thursday!

I am home today. I woke up with a sore throat and headache. I have an employee that has a week old grandbaby living with her so I didn't want to go in and give anything to her. It should be slow enough that they won't miss me.

jeremysgirl last summer DH made a comment that I did not appreciate when we were 2 miles from our house on the way to my parents. It is a 9 hour drive. I did not speak to him one time the entire drive. I even let him miss a turn. He was not amused but he knows better now on what not to say...

You guys probably don't know this but I stalk the craft thread. I love seeing what everyone creates.

I am letting DH come up with something for dinner tonight.

Happy Thursday! Summer has returned with a vengeance - hot and humid.  I am spending the morning getting some things done around the house then will go visit him after lunch.   His trainer is going to work with him at 11 am so that will keep him busy.  

DH is still showing improvement daily and getting impatient to be out and working with rehab. The social worker came by yesterday to discuss options. The first recommendation was a SNIF which would give him 45 min of PT M-F. He told them that wasn't enough and he wanted a more intense program (he did one after covid). So they gave us a list of 3 that aren't far from the house and are working with insurance. He is a seriously determined man and will beat any estimates and timelines they give him. He's kept surprising them this whole journey.  

No idea what dinner will be.  Currently leaning towards a baked sweet potato.  Hope everyone has a good day!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who loves Costco!  Then again, I just love grocery shopping!

Have fun jeremysgirl !

No, my car is a 2019. Brakes aren't included in the 10 year warranty we have.

Cool thing though: They no longer have a Courtesy Van take you home, they call you a Lyft/Uber! My first ever Lyft ride! The minute Peter, my service rep, put in the request, the driver was outside waiting for me. When my car is ready, they will either call me a Lyft to pick me up or DH will take me.

Two requirements of where to live: Must be within 15 minutes of a Costco and close to a Kaiser facility.

There are plans to put a Costco down the hill from us. Some people are fighting it. I know that a big box store of some kind will eventually go there and I know Costco is a good neighbor so I'm all for it. They are building 10,000 homes down the freeway from us so that will impact the Costco I now go to.

Another day of heat and humidity. This morning at 8 am the temp was only 24 degrees but with the humidity, it felt like 31! And the sun hadn’t even been shining yet. It’s now 31 but feels like 39. Walker and I are turning into couch potatoes. At least DH has the air conditioned garage to escape to - no couch in there!

I did go to the grocery store this morning but I’ll stay in the house now. I could find lots to do inside but the couch and my book keep calling my name.

Supper is leftover pork chop, potatoes and a salad for me. DH ate all his pork chop so he will have a grilled chicken burger.

Evidently they've been doing it for a while but I never knew since DH always went with me unless I was staying for a quick service (oil change or such). Their waiting room is huge, nice comfy chairs, free coffee/water and a quiet room with no noise just soft music.

I just went to pick up one of my hearing aids that was in for repair. I finally feel balanced again after 10 days. I had been wearing an older one but it didn’t work together with the other one so it felt weird. I couldn’t use Bluetooth for the tv or music. The best part was I was quoted it would be a $90 repair because they are out of warranty but it came back “no charge”. They even gave me a new case and some new cleaning supplies. That’s a win!

Wow, that would make me crazy! I go in the morning and am in and out in under 15 minutes. Unless I stop to look at the clothes.

During Covid when they had senior hours I was usually one of the few in the store. That was wonderful! I would even take a picture of the main aisle with no one in it and send it to DS.
