aKathy's What's for Dinner 8/16

We're off to the pool this morning ~ me for my class, DH to swim laps and read.

I got Wordle in 2 again today! DH says I need to buy a lottery ticket.

I'm going to spend the weekend cleaning up my craft room/office. Looks like tornado alley.

Dinner will be grilled tri-tip steaks.

TGIF dear tribe!

Happy Friday!

I've got a fairly slow day at work but I picked up another social calendar so that is fun. I've got to go get my wine order at lunch but I really don't want to go outside since our heat index is going to be 112 today.

Yesterday, I was trying to get something from the top of my fridge while standing on a chair and I fell off and hurt my upper left arm. I didn't notice any pain yesterday but it's pretty sore today. I don't see any bruises though but it's a deep pain.

I'm not sure what dinner will be tonight and I don't care as long as I don't have to cook. I've already put a few feelers out about going out to dinner so we'll see what happens. With the week I've had with my parents, I want to have some fun and maybe enjoy an adult beverage or two.

Hope you all have a great day!

DD17 is cooking - sweet and sour chicken and stir fry vegetables. I might pull some leftover egg rolls out of the freezer as well. And there's leftover cantaloupe as well



scrapbooking tonight. Grocery shopping tomorrow - DD17 has plans with friends so I'll actually get to do my own shopping (she's been doing it so to get more driving practise). DH is supposed to leave early Sunday morning for a business trip but as of yesterday that is up in the air. Hopefully I have a firm answer before I plan the weekly menu.



WOW!



ouch! If it doesn't improve, maybe get it checked out.



Enjoy!

Good evening all,

DH went back to work this morning while the cleaning lady was here, then came home just around 2 to drive me to the hospital to have my stitches out. I had to wait a while, but now they are gone and I can wash my hair normally. I did find out I can’t have my hair colored for the next 3 months - I had meant to ask but forgot, so I’m glad the nurse remembered to tell me.

Our weekend will be pretty low key here as I don’t want to overdo it. I’ll decide Sunday morning how I feel about church.

Dinner tonight is going to be home made pizza. We buy a kit with the dough and tomato sauce, then add whatever toppings we want or need to use up.

Just to my pride I'm glad no one was around to see it!

That fall sounds exactly like something I would do Tearisci!     .  Glad you are OK!


It is cool and threatening to rain here today ... makes trying to stay awake difficult!

I have managed to unload the dishwasher and do two loads of laundry ...

I'm not sure how I will fill the rest of the day until I pick up my girlfriend ... we are doing dinner and Netflix tonight    

What we eat and what we watch are both to be determined!


I don't have any weekend plans other than to go to my mum's retirement residence for dinner on Sunday ... they are serving roast beef with Yorkshire Pudding!  Yum!!    

Dh left early this morning. I got up and got ready. I’m trying to decide if I feel good enough to drive to the post office and to Starbucks. I really want an iced vanilla latte!!! My back/leg pain seems to really amp up in the car.

Update on my back situation. All of my PT appointments have been canceled and I have an appointment with the spine surgeon on Wednesday. I can’t wrap my head around that this is happening again.

Dinner is going to be leftover pizza.

sueg enjoy that hair washing!!!
@leanne I’m going to Netflix it tonight too!! I hope I can find something good to watch.

Have a good day, ladies!

Happy Friday dinner friends! What a week!

I'm not sure if I missed something and hate to ask, but I haven't noticed jeremysgirl on the thread this week, I hope all is ok!

sueg enjoy your shampoo, ah the little things in life!

@the Birdhouse Lady I'm so sorry you are facing surgery again, I hope you experience immediate relief!

I'm soliciting prayers and good thoughts for a precious 10 yr old that had sudden brain surgery a couple of days ago, He is the son of close friends of my son and DIL ( and us as well) They fought so hard to adopt this little guy when he was 3 and has done so well, earlier this week he woke up complaining of not feeling well and a headache, within 2 minutes he was incoherent, vomiting and diarrhea. They immediately took him the hospital that is about 2 miles for their house, he coded as they walked in the door, he was stat- flighted to Dell Childrens and was in OR within an hour,There was fluid pressing on the base of his skull and I'm unsure of more details, he's on a vent in a medically induced coma for a few days. He'll have an MRI today, but they won't know if there is permanent damage until he gets stronger. He's the same age and good friend of my grandson. My Daughter in law set up a meal train and We are all trying to do what we can for them. A precious hard working faith based family.

I'm prepping to run to the store to pick up a few things, Dinner will be determined when I'm there.

Tomorrow my son, DIL and Grandson are coming over, DH and DS are going to do a couple of tasks that I've been asking to have completed for a while. A permanent outlet in one of my pantries for the cordless vac and the secondary door into the garage to be fixed, the screws keep coming loose. DH should have addressed these a long time ago, you know how that goes - Actually I hope you don't :-) I'm making a stuffed pork tenderloin, baked mac and cheese, salad and cream brulee.

Wishing everyone a great Friday and weekend ahead!!

Positive thoughts coming your way for this family!

Please have MR taylortroop keep a record of those home BP readings to show the cardiologist. It will be good info for the MD!!

Dinner is ...something..Have no clue and no ideas😱 
I have a headache, most likely caused by my new glasses....they are a bit stronger, however not that much. I think I'll take a nap. 
 
austinscrapaddict..prayers for that young boy and his family.

I'll go back and read the thread. But Tuesday morning I posted that thread about my work situation. So Tuesday and Wednesday, I only had the mental energy for that thread and what was going on at work. Yesterday, my mom posted a cake she had made for family dinner on Facebook. The cake sounded gross. However, I just felt like I got a gut punch because well, I'm no longer invited. So kind of everything swirled around all week. I had arranged early in the week to stop at my mom's today on my lunch and drop off a Sketchbox for Chloe. I wrote out a card for her too, just things like love you and miss you. And I realized that I was clenching my teeth. I had been wandering around all morning. So I thought maybe a manic episode was coming on (not a shocker after the emotional week I had) and I messaged my mom to say I wasn't feeling well and would not be coming today. I sat back down and did more work. And then I realized I was starting to feel better. So I think I just was nerved up about seeing my mom. I stepped out at lunch time and went to the thrift store. I got a new pair of shorts, a tank, and a salad spinner for $10. Now I'm feeling a bit better and I checked in here to see this message. Thank you for caring. My week has just been harried.

jeremysgirl I know that you know this, but we are all always here for you to vent to, I'm sorry things are strained with Chloe and your mom, Good for you to recognize what was the root of your stress. Take deep breaths and know you're doing exactly what you should be doing! I'm glad to see you back at the table!

Thank you everyone for the good thoughts and prayers. This has really affected all of us( me,DH, DS and DIL and GS. along with other son and family and BFF's)

I survived planning food and gear and the schedule with my daughter and daughter in law. cancelled a reservation, made a reservation.. to my great sadness shortened the backpacking to one night (not worth any argument). and spending the night and morning in portland instead.

oh well.
