aKathy's What's for Dinner 8/29

Hi scrapmaven! PT and a down day sounds delightful. I had a meeting at 8am. Seriously 8am meetings should be illegal! Haha...but it was a good meeting anyway. This was a follow up meeting and my boss and my coworker were there. However, neither of them prepared anything for this meeting and had no idea I was prepping for the meeting. I showed up with a complete picture of all the financials from the past 5-6 years with a proposal for how to address the issue at hand. I think honestly, my boss was shocked. I don't even know what they expected would happen. What if I didn't do that work? What if I had been out sick today? I don't know.

I had to go to the pharmacy today and I was riding the high of the meeting so I dropped in at Barnes and Noble. Picked up two new books and two magazines. I have one more meeting in half hour and then I'll just be open to free work this afternoon. Which is good. I can listen to some music and work at my own pace on detail stuff. I will also pack my bag to head to Ludington tomorrow afternoon. I am out of work at noon tomorrow. Hopefully Jeremy gets home at a reasonable time and we can make it past Grand Rapids before the rush hour traffic. Then it's free and easy all weekend.

Tonight I'm making black eyed peas with wilted greens and sweet potatoes. Jeremy enjoyed this meal last time I made it.

Enjoy your weekend with your son cadoodlebug!

Thank you scrapmaven

Dinner is up in the air - I have German potato salad on the menu but we have a zoning meeting at 530 so …who knows

cadoodlebug enjoy your time with your ds

jeremysgirl wow glad you were prepared but wow!

Hi to all the dinner people

I’ve had an easy day today. My cleaner rescheduled to tomorrow, so I didn’t have to hide out in my craft space!
DS and the girls called to see how I was going and I heard all about their long weekend visiting younger DS. The most exciting thing was that the Science Museum in Canberra had special activities and the police forensic team were giving demonstrations and (hear this in excited 5YO voice!) they had police dogs there!
I also spoke with younger DS as one of my brothers and his wife had dropped in to see him on their way home from vacation and had asked how I was.
This afternoon I had a massage at a place right near my nail place. I have walked past them every time I get my nails done and this week I finally went in and booked. It was lovely and my skin feels so good from the scented oils.
Dinner tonight is steak kebabs, marinated in BBQ sauce with a couple of salads from the deli counter at the butcher shop. Easy peasy!


Happy Birthday linda
Tearisci - I hope your dad is on the mend soon.

Linda.

Thank you everyone!

 Linda!

Hope the PM does the trick for your dad, Tearisci, and that he is home healing quickly.

Yesterday I made a long list of the projects I want to tackle and can't seem to get started. Then I had a chat with DH, who called me out on trying to do too much. I have accepted that I don't have the energy/stamina to keep doing what I've been doing. Last week really wiped me out. So I'm baby stepping the projects.

Today I'm just going to look at paint colors for the outside (really want to go navy), my office (currently light yellow, may go pale aqua) and the bonus room (no clue, but I'm over the 3 horizontal stripes on all walls). I have a couple returns and might look at sandals. My favorites broke a strap last week.

Dinner is an easy fend-for-yourself night although I will make the bagged Sweet Kale salad that needs to be used.

scrapmaven - I have had hot stone massages before and loved them. I am not sure if the place I went to does them. They do Thai style massage, including oil and herbal hot packs, which I think I’ll try next time.
We have just booked vacation for October, including 5 days at a spa hotel, so I will see if they do hot stones,

I hope all goes well for your dad Tearisci

Enjoy your trip jeremysgirl

Happy Birthday linda hopefully your zoning meeting doesn’t go too long

Slept terrible at my sister’s house because there were so many noises here. I have an Airbnb for Friday & Saturday. My sisters and I drove by it and it looked better in pictures. Hopefully the inside is ok.
Dinner is up in the air.

jeremysgirl sounds like you enjoy the actual work and are self motivated.  

Tearisci good thing your dad's doctor was on top of it.

Still coughing and testing positive today (day 11 since testing positive, day 13 from symptoms).  Though the line is getting fainter.  I should test negative in time for jury duty next week.     Have I mentioned I get a notice every year for the last 23 years?  I really don't understand how some of my friends have only been called one time.

Today we took out thai food.  My appetite is improving but still not what it was.

Currently at the hairdresser with color settling into my hair.

Dinner might be tomato soup. I have cheese curds which I like to drop in, and they get all soft and squishy but don’t completely melt. YUM!!


Happy birthday, Linda!

Tearisci, glad to hear your dad came through surgery with flying colors.

Marina, hope you are feeling 100% very soon.

Well, it turned out dinner was actually chicken and rice with an Asian-inspired sauce, and roasted carrots. I forgot my son was planning to cook. Maybe tomorrow will be the tomato soup and cheese curds.

Hope the injection helps, The Birdhouse Lady. Constant pain is just impossible to live with.

Thank you!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will give me some relief until surgery.
