aKathy's What's for Dinner 8/6

Oh no, scrapmaven , I'm so sorry Covid has knocked you out. Praying for a short, easy bout for you.

I'm running errands this morning which I know will shock jeremysgirl .

Today will be very hot so dinner will be Chinese Chicken Salad.

The pool at our sport's club was awesome last night. I literally had the pool to myself for 30 minutes while I did my exercises. After DH did his laps we both read for about half an hour. Pure bliss.

Hugs to all, especially those facing medical issues & people in the path of the hurricane.

Well geez. I'm so sorry it caught you. Hopefully it won't be as terrible as last time. I swear Jeremy and I are the last people we know who haven't had it. Knocks wood. I don't have a clue how we've managed to avoid it. But I'm sure it would kick my ass too.

I had a stupid meeting this morning. My coworker was unprepared. And I have another staff meeting with her this afternoon. Tries my damn patience.

I'm going to sit and crochet for a bit over lunch. I don't need lunch because I've had a bunch of cookies. Ugh.

I'm going to make that pasta with tomatoes and zucchini tonight. I just had a sandwich last night.

Thank you! I appreciate that. 

scrapmaven: So sorry to hear you have the crud. Hoping it’s a mild case and you’re back to yourself soon.

I’m babysitting grandboy #3 while his brothers are at soccer camp today. And of course it’s pouring rain so no outdoor activities for us.

Tomorrow I have to take my mom to get her shot in the eye and then to a hair appt in the afternoon. Then I’ll be packing and preparing for our short trip up north for 2 nights.

Not sure about supper yet.

Happy Tuesday! It's going to be another triple digit day (before humidity!) but I was able to sit out with the dog a bit in the morning shade. Nice to just sit for a bit with nothing to do. Absolutely no clue what dinner will be. Something out of the fridge I'm sure. Thinking and praying for those who need it - either for themselves or family members.


DH is hanging in there still.  I'm hoping to find him in good spirits when I go up in an hour or so.  Today is our 47th anniversary (I was a child bride   )!   He feels badly that he's still in hospital, but as I pointed out at least we are in the same country this year!  There have been a few where he was halfway around the world and a phone call was all we got.  Always look for the silver lining is my motto in life!  

DD is doing well.  This week she is making an effort to prioritize her evening workout classes (with our blessings!), rather than spend all evening with DH.  Work is also busy for her right now which keeps her mind occupied I'm sure.  Thanks for checking in!   I hope you are feeling better soon.

austnscrapaddict - DH says he’s going to confiscate my phone tomorrow evening or Thursday morning. As soon as he gives it back - probably sometime Friday - I will let everyone here know how I’m doing

prayers and hugs for all those sick!!

I think when I am back in bay area.. I will be a hermit.. too many covid cases!!!

yesterday at the store I decided I should go shopping without dh.. would be easier!! he was checking if they had salmon cakes, never told me one way or another, so I forgot to get the alternative chicken. so came home with no dinner in the bag. we ended up with guacamole and crackers, a salad, and eggs, sausages and bread.

so today we are going to the natural foods store.. the farmer shows up in the afternoon with goods from various local farms. and back to the regular store. maybe chicken, with salad for dinner. there was a big thunder and lightning storm all through dinner into the evening. heard there were several small fires started locally. but the fires put out.

went swimming this morning.. had the pool to myself.. was a bit cooler out. dh went out with doggie in his new doggie backpack.. the dog sits vertical with his head and paws out..on dh's back.

That's what I think but she doesn't mind at all!   

Literally, same condo, same bed, same boat, same people out there, same trips to the USA town for groceries ... she probably wears my lifejacket!    

Cracking up at this. Dd1 says exdh is only with clones of me. Probably why my current dh says he’d go for exdh’s 2nd wife if he were single. She’s also an ex now too. We both love her. So does dd1.
It’s my last night in Venice. Glad to be going home tomorrow but was so pleasantly surprised by it. I will not miss the 5th floor walk up Airbnb we have. 6 to our rooftop patio.
Boo scrapmaven. Covid is a pita. I hope we don’t get it traveling back.

**GypsyGirl** I hope your dh can get this behind him. He’s really been through it as have you.

leannec Loved your DD’s picture. Sounds like mine only sending one. You know that was not the only one.

I’m good! Posting before reading the thread because I always seem to get distracted. Currently sitting in chemo hell (honestly, it’s fine) waiting to finish up so I can go home and order pizza. Anyway, I’ve been feeling fine, just been busy the past few days. I guess I tire easily, too. WHATEVER.

So sorry you have COVID, scrapmaven. My sister just came home from Canada with it, too.

Off to read the rest of the thread.

I’m on my phone so it’s difficult to list everyone I’m thinking and sending prayers off to. I hope all of the illness and stress you all are dealing with lightens quickly and laughter fills your hearts.
I’ve just driven through a flooding storm along with tornado warnings while returning from a few days at my mom’s house. I got home to flooded roads, branches down and flower pots blown over. I’ll wait til all of the storms pass through before I begin cleaning up.

I have lots of leftovers from my granddaughter’s baptism celebration so dinner will be a smorgasbord of picnic food heavy on desserts. I’m not complaining!

we have a mini schnauzer.. about 18 lbs.. he is somewhere 14-15 yrs old.. and lost the ability to go on long hikes last few months. dh hiked 2.4 miles with him on his back today.
