aKathy's What's for Dinner 11/06

It will be bliss. I'm so excited you were able to get an appointment.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I've spent my morning trying to address something that my coworker has failed to do. Today is the deadline. I gave her input on Monday. And she didn't move on any of it. I don't even know why I bother trying anymore.

ETA: Dinner = Burritos. 

Enjoy your bliss scrapmaven !

jeremysgirl looks like some things never change, right?

I have AquaFit this morning and Hand & Foot this afternoon. The sun is shining but it's cold.

Dinner will be ribs!

I just left a work call that was all about possible follow through on campaign promises that could have devastating effects on us. It's sad.

Hugs. I'm trying to distract myself and it's not really working. I hope your appointments go well. 

It isn't unusual for DH or DS to leave food/coffee they intended to take with them by the front door and part of my morning routine to return it to the kitchen. DS is now working at the same place as DD but starts earlier. If she sees something at the door when leaving, she texts him a photo for the yes/no to bring it in for him. 

I've never done acupuncture myself but LOVE that my Greek FIL started doing it after his stroke. Of course, my ILs were into cupping long before it became trendy and embraced by Olympic athletes, so it shouldn't surprise me too much how important his acupuncture was to him. It just seemed too new agey/Eastern medicine for a former chain smoking, coffee swilling, poker playing stereotypical Greek.

My yarn is due to arrive midday so I hope to have the project cast on before dinner. 

I'm also getting my first postchemo haircut today. Okay, maybe haircut is an exaggeration, but I stopped in to see my stylist the other week to discuss giving it a bit of a trim around the ears and neckline as it grows in. I have a LONG way to go but need to make it look like a deliberate style choice than impatiently regrowing hair.

Dinner will be fish tacos because it is easy and we all love them.

ETA ntsf, Warren Miller movies were always an event during my university years. So many great ski club trips and memories. Winter trips ski trips were into Montana and Idaho because the drinking age as 19 at the time (same as BC). 

I lost most of my hair after malnutrition when I was hospitalized for 3 months. I had a little rat tail that I hung onto until my hairdresser was like, I have to cut this off. It was traumatic but I ended up with a cute new haircut. My hair grew back in curly which was fun after having stick straight fine hair all of my life. I hope you get the lift you need from the cut!

I realize lucyg is out of the group today but she channeled me her deep freezer lucky energy and there is ground beef. My dad will have spaghetti and meat sauce and I won’t be having spaghetti. I have meat sauce and more grana padano than anyone. We have a Costco sized container of it and it’s very nice. There are enough vegetables as well. It was 10 when I looked and the freezer giveth today!!!😁❤️

All of my blood tests are in....and...everything is normal except my Vit D is low. But I live in Michigan and literally everyone's Vitamin D is low. I'm glad it wasn't something more serious but damn, I'm left with medicine. And I don't really want to go there.

They can't test for these medications. I take 7 medications a day. 4 to control my mental health alone.

The Birdhouse Lady I'm on 10,000 IU of vitamin D weekly. It definitely helps boost the levels!

I also need to pick up a prescription before I pick up DH tonight. I was doing so, so well with my sinus issues, but have been fighting a sinus headache for a few days, so the doctor I saw this morning prescribed an antibiotic to be safe. It's so tough when my ears always look sort of foggy/inflamed and can't tell what's an infection vs. what's my normal. But best to be safe and that's why she and I agreed to take something.

When I was checking out, they asked if I needed a follow-up. I mentioned I'd schedule one after the ultrasound I have scheduled next week. One of the doctors was assisting a new person at their front desk. He mentioned I could get that done at the office instead of having to go elsewhere. Let's see: driving 5 minutes to their office for the ultrasound, or leave an hour before I need to be there to get it done elsewhere? That was an easy decision. My insurance is goofy, so if I can get it done in-office, I'll do it. I usually have to go to a freestanding facility instead of a hospital to get it done.

One more work day til vacation!
