AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 08/18

I did not sleep well either. We had a thunder storm and my dogs are scared of thunder and lighting so it wasn’t a restful night. I saw the dinner inspiration thread - thank you for that! I have to meal plan today and grocery shop and am feeling uninspired. Dinner tonight might well be something from that thread.

Today will be more home improvement, scrapbooking, and meno planning/grocery list making and grocery shopping. Have a good Sunday, all.

Happy Sunday! Having a slow morning before I get ready and go spend the afternoon with DH. Trying to get all the healthy food options prepped/ready so I don't have to think about meals for a few days. Mostly salad stuff and making a batch of tuna fish for sandwiches. I like to eat mine stuffed in a toasted pita bread. Also need to stop at Central Market for fresh fruit and bread later today.

DH is doing well and was kicked out of the ICU yesterday! He was moved to a step down unit in the Neurology tower last night about 6:30.  We've still got a long way to go before he gets back home, but we'll take any and all progress.  They will start more PT this week and trying to build up his stamina.  Hopefully in a couple of weeks he'll be ready to move over to the rehab facility.  The Myasthenia Gravis really does a number on him if he tries to do too much too soon.  Main goal is to stay out of ICU.  37 days total was plenty.  

Absolutely no idea what dinner will be.   DD was thinking about coming over after she visits her dad so she can drive his car some, as well as take his dog for a ride.  I'll firm up with her and maybe grab something at CM on my way home.  

Yay, that's good news! Progress!

leannec , It's hard to let this friendship go, but when you let the bad friendships go then you open space for a new, must healthier friend. As lonely as you might be, maybe this will inspire you to step out and meet more friends who can return your friendship. She's going to be shocked and be prepared for her to cry and get angry. Just remember that this is 100% about your well being. Her drama is her story and it is not your problem. Good for you for taking care of yourself. Go celebrate your strength.

**GypsyGirl** , It's good news that he's going to a step down unit and that he'll start the next phase of healing. You've all been through so much. Sounds like you're taking really good care of yourself while you weather this storm. ((((HUGS)))).

Tearisci , I'll have to go look at your thread in a bit. I, too didn't sleep well. Oh well, tonight is a new night.

paget , have you looked into Thunder Shirts for your doggies? I know someone who swears by them for her dog. They're supposed to really help calm doggie down and help him/her to feel safe. I hope that both you and your furry buddies sleep much better tonight.


We're gonna go for a walk soon. Then it's a quiet day here. There's a football bame later and dinner will be Chinese chicken salad.

Enjoy today, my lovelies.

**GypsyGirl** that is such good news about your husband. ❤️

christine58 I hope the kennel is nice. We were just debating what we are going to do with Ellie while we camp next month.

I just can't get it going today. I feel so sluggish. Like I could go right back to bed. I wonder if I am coming down with something. Either that or I'm just feeling lazy. Someone please give me a kick in the ass. 🤣 Do not tell me to rest.

With that said, I have been just nibbling like a rabbit all week. I feel like I need a real meal tonight. I should pull out the cookbooks and see what I can find. I do have some broccoli and asparagus that needs to be eaten.

It’s a cloudy day but humid. I was just sitting on the deck looking at the weather app and it said “rain will begin in 4 minutes”. I laughed out loud and thought yeah right. Seriously just a couple minutes later, it was a major downpour!  It lasted about 2 minutes and was over. So weird!

Nothing happening here today. I’ve been to the grocery store, vacuumed and threw some clothes in the washing machine. I’m hoping to get a walk or bike ride in if it cools down a bit. 

We planned to go out for supper last night but my mom offered to buy Chinese food. It was delicious and even DH, who says he doesn’t like Chinese food, liked it and wants to order it again sometime. 

Not sure about supper tonight. 

We just got back from our Sunday walk. Although it was only 2 miles, there were two major hills so I'm beat. I ended up walking 15,000 steps yesterday so that could be part of it.

I'm afraid to try Wordle because I know I'm going to break my *2* streak. ETA: I got it in 3.
Dinner will be Tomatillo Pork with zucchini and a fruit salad.

cadoodlebug , 3 is good. I didn't get the word today. It was, imho a tough one.

Well, no success at the Kennel I visited. It’s way out in the middle of nowhere. Most of my trips are in the winter and it’s just 45 minutes south of here where snow really hits so it’s a no. There were some things I didn’t like about it also and I just didn’t get a really good vibe back to the drawing board

Hi well father has Covid so he is doing nothing for the next week-ten days. I am testing negative for now thank goodness. Hopefully I stay that way.

leannec I had to do that with a friend but she came back and said she understood how I felt. I just needed a break and it took a year but we are back together.

Dinner for father will be poké and I am having smokies and green vegetables.
