aKathy's What's for Dinner 11/07

Happy Thursday!

I'm feeling a bit better than yesterday. More centered and less sad. I've got a follow up dr appointment today so I think I will talk with her about more anxiety meds.

I didn't have my parents over last night so I will make the chicken enchiladas tonight, probably just for myself as I don't really feel up to company tonight.

Hope you all have a good day!

I "feel" OK today but my foot is giving me grief ... so painful!  I'll definitely be getting an x-ray and ultrasound done on it on November 14th ...

No decent subbing jobs popped up last night or this morning so I'm home today ... at least I will be able to rest my foot and raise it to keep the swelling down ...


I need to take out my garbage and recycling sometime today ... that is about it!


I haven't even thought about dinner    


Thanks for always checking up on me!!

If my leeks are still good, then potato leek soup. I haven't checked them since I bought them a week or so ago.

Hope everyone has a great day. Mine is poop. Basically, told I am not trying hard enough to get internet in a bldg on campus. "Because we have to have internet for BSF and the lecture to livestream." Well, we have internet. It's only been messing up for the last 2 weeks. We have the answer from AT&T that it is old copper wiring and fiber is not available. I will now call the internet provider we have in this bldg. It's not that we don't have it, we do. I am sorry but it is not just putting a modem/hot spot in there like you think. I am already on edge with this particular person due to this week's events and I was at my desk in tears almost. The pastor was standing behind him as we were talking. We will see if the treatment is acknowledged.

DH is “working” today. He’s helping at his buddies body shop while they are away for a couple days. He’s happy to help answer the phone and deal with deliveries and it gives him something to do.

I’ve spent an hour unstringing lights from a Christmas tree we used to put outside on the porch. The lights came already attached to the tree so it was a bit of a task. I want to change the tree we put outside but am too cheap to buy new lights! I’ve decided not to put up a large tree inside because the kids aren’t here for Christmas anymore and if we have a dinner, we use the garage space. Walker would knock over the tree so I will put a little one in the living room table. Totally works for the two of us.

Supper will be leftover pizza.

I laugh every time I see the truck meme.

I forgot to add dinner is pasta and green salad.

Happy Thursday dinner friends!

What a week! Work is so incredibly busy and DH has some real estate deals going on, so I've tried to balance dog and work all week. Luckily I'm seeing a light at the end of this week's tunnel and DH will head to the ranch tomorrow with the puppy. The house needs cleaned and tidied up so badly, it's getting to me.

Dinner will be the last of the Rueben Casserole. it was tasty! I need to make it more often.

I'm in the mood to bake, but not sure what I want to make.

Wishing everyone a great day!

It was too dumb to post

Today has been a weird day. Nothing is going as planned and I am irrationally irritated that dh can't seem to put the salt shaker back where it belongs.

Dinner tonight is breakfast. Eggs, bacon and fruit.

jeremysgirl I LOVE those shirts!!! Super cute!

Love the shirts! We will do our local turkey trot and I actively dislike the t-shirts this year. They are usually a shade of blue/green/turquoise/aqua with a surfing turkey and this year the main color is a dull beige.  

ntsf, a friend of mine goes helicopter or cat skiing every year near Revelstoke. Amazing photos but way past my skill level.

Okay, I'm having a day. No pressure to read, but I need to put it out in the universe. I was out early for my PET scan. One of the employees came in after me and asked her co-worker if she'd seen the dead bird in the parking lot. She hadn't seen it and neither had I. Then we all watch as a woman picks up this crow and starts doing compressions. Next thing we see it on her shoulder.   I had to go in for my scan and get filled in later that someone saw her and asked if it was her bird. No, but she is taking it home to make sure it is okay.

Later I'm heading home via Costco for gas when DH calls. He is going to Vancouver tonight and asks if I can check if his glasses came in. I'm in a nice wife mood, so say sure even though I hadn't planned to go in the store. They are in, so decide to take them down to where he is working. He says just go home because he can't come out of where he's working to meet me. I burst into tears and realize I was in nice wife mood because I wanted to get a hug before he leaves.

I don't think it helped that I had to fast for the scan and the day started at 52F/11C and was 80F/26C by 10:30am. 

Now my phone is blowing up in a group text as a friend has shared that her youngest is transitioning. She told her very religious family in April, but has been living as a woman since July 2023. But got married as a man Oct 23. So a divorce is in the works, too. I'm seeing my friend next week at a retreat which is why she is sharing now. I knew their DIL was living with them and looking for work but did not expect this twist.

So it's been a weird Santa Ana day around here.

With DH heading out of town, my dinner making mojo always drops significantly but I will rally enough to heat up a Trader Joe's frozen Japanese style rice dish. Extra broccoli will be added and shrimp if it doesn't come with a protein in it.

I'm sorry about your salt shaker. In this house I would be irrationally irritated because I'd have to find the salt shaker for him to then misplace. 😂

Well geez bc2ca he'd better get home and hug you soon. And then have a pint of ice cream for dinner.

I went cat school when I left collage.. family tradition. we were up in the selkirks. I only worry about skiing for that long in a day.. but it also would be different powder skiing rather than packed high speed runs at a resort. I am going to try out some new fat skis this winter for powder.

I have decided that I don't like packing for trip with dh at home. he has taken over the bedroom all day and I keep saying. are you done? no. I have pulled together most stuff but need to pull out everything and do a final packing and seeing if it fits. I have to answer "where is such and such?" periodically.

Sending you love and hugs, jeremysgirl. Take care of yourself. ❤️
