Good morning.
Today I'm going to have a quiet day. I need to get farther along on my knitting.
What is everyone up to today?
Dinner will be rechauffe.
What's on your menu?
What is everyone doing this weekend? Dh has a small cold. We'll be puttering around the house. We have a busy couple of weeks coming up and I need to rest up and get ready for some fun w/my sil.
Enjoy a relaxing, fun, and cheerful weekend ahead!

Good evening from here.
DH is back in Germany and will be home from work in about two hours. Yes, he flew overnight from the US to Europe, landed at 8am, and went straight into work!
I haven’t done much today - a walk to the big recycling bins (glass, plastic, metals) and then to the supermarket for fruit for DH’s breakfast, then home. I’ve been knitting most of the afternoon.
Dinner tonight is seafood curry laksa - a Malaysian noodle soup. It is spicy and creamy from coconut milk and just totally yum! When I was at the Asian grocery earlier in the week, I bought big bags of frozen prawns and calamari, then divided them up into ‘laksa packs’ when I got home, so I just had to grab one from the freezer last night to be ready for today.
We have no real plans for the weekend. DH will need to decompress and there will be a week’s worth of his laundry to be done. We don’t even have regular football to watch, as it’s International Break, so all games are in the evening - no Saturday afternoon matches.

So looking forward to the weekend! Think we're grabbing so pad thai for dinner. Take care all!

We have a busy couple of weeks coming up and I need to rest up and get ready for some fun w/my sil. I'm all in favor of you banking up rest for the possibility of fun. I had an extreme amount of anxiety last night. Just could not sit still and focus on anything. Typical me. And I know it was because of that meeting. I logged into work this morning at 6, grateful that I was going to have a slow day to find a message from my coworker. She was calling in sick today. She apparently had a car accident (she said she was not hurt) on her way home from her office meeting yesterday. And I got immediately irritated. Like clearly they didn't say anything to her about her absenteeism. And then....I checked myself. I pulled out a word document and got to work journaling all my thoughts. I've got to figure out a way to live with this until I can find my way out. And being upset over every single thing isn't helpful....to me. I am also thinking that my boss didn't like what I said last time because of his irritation at my "tone". Jeremy was like, he couldn't argue with anything you said, so he picked on tone. I have to ensure that doesn't happen and not being irritated is probably a good start. So breathe deeply and release all that anger and anxiety. I feel better after journaling Delta Dawn. I heard your voice in my head this morning saying do it. Anyway, tonight I will finally make the stuffed peppers. I have decided to get back on my plant based diet. I just flat out felt better on it. And I could totally stand for feeling my best. This weekend I'll just have some downtime. I plan to work more (finish?) on my tree skirt. I have 9 rows until the end. And I have two books going right now that I'd like to finish too. |

Happy Friday! Currently projects are boxing up all the photos and scrapbook stuff in DD's room and getting some stuff moved to storage. If he comes home that is where we will put him in a hospital bed. Also trying to spend a little time each day doing some needlepoint and work on quilt blocks. Tomorrow morning is my quilt guild meeting which I'm looking forward to.
Will go and see DH this morning, as well as speak with the case manager/social workers. He has done two infusions so far and they seem to be working well. Yesterday he said he felt a bit stronger. The neurologist mentioned that by Monday we'll be looking at the next step. While home is a consideration, she did bring up inpatient rehab. If they could get him accepted in the one that is attached to the hospital, DH would go for it. Otherwise, he is probably going to push back hard because he is just done with hospitals and wants to come home. I can't blame him honestly. It would just be so much easier if he was already able to walk again.
Not sure what dinner will be, but I'm thinking about stopping for gyros on my way home. My favorite restaurant is just a few blocks from the hospital.

Happy Friday!
I'm enjoying a day off by just puttering around this morning catching up on TV and getting the house in shape. it's usually what I do on Saturday mornings so I'm getting a head start. I put my tree up last weekend but haven't decorated it yet and I still need to put my fall decorations away so I'll get to that this weekend.
I think I'm going to take myself to lunch and a movie today before stopping at TJs on the way home. Dinner will likely be out with my siblings tonight. The next town over is the "Christmas capital of Texas" and that's where we're going for dinner and a lot of decorations are already up. Hopefully, that will get me into the spirit!
Hope you all have a great day!

It's 43° out and cloudy but not raining so I will go to AquaFit. That swim parka can't get here soon enough! I'll work on my craft room today as I never really got organized after I returned from the crop. I need to work on DS's album some more before Christmas. Dinner might be burnt ends with zucchini and a fruit salad. TGIF!!!  |

Tearisci , your day sounds fun. Which movie are you going to see? Enjoy your weekend. **GypsyGirl** , I really hope that they'll put your husband in the best spot for his recovery whether it's home or an inpatient rehab setting. You both just need him to heal well. Are you getting enough rest? jeremysgirl , I like Delta Dawn 's suggestion about journaling. Clearly, your boss is defensive and worried and you don't want to rock that boat too far. This is frustrating when I read it, so I can only imagine how frustrated you must feel. A better job has to show itself. sueg , enjoy your knitting today.
Enjoy your time in your craft room, cadoodlebug. Why does it seem that we spend more time cleaning our craft rooms than we do, crafting?

I'm going to see Conclave today. I'll probably go see Heretic tomorrow as these have both been on my list! |

Happy Friday, wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
We are having leftovers for dinner tonight.
This weekend I am going to decorate the outside of my house for Christmas. We are doing it a week earlier then we intended because next weekend they are calling for temperatures to only be in the 30's.

Just stopping by to say hi and bye. Busy day, DD is here, going out for lunch and don’t know what’s for dinner. We did have an incredibly good Thai dinner the other night with my mom and BIL. Sorry I’ve been so absent. Stay well, all.

jeremysgirl I'm sorry you're having such issues with your boss. I know how frustrating it's been for you. **GypsyGirl** I was in a skilled nursing center for a month after my botched surgery so i know how it feels to want to come home. I lived with my sister for a month after that as I lived on the second floor of an apartment and I couldn't make it up the steps. Hope you get the news you're looking for!

I had the weirdest thing happen to me yesterday ... My doctor's appointment went as well as could be expected ... he looked at the imaging the UC doctor ordered and saw nothing ... which I knew because I didn't do anything ... we are just going to rest my foot as much as possible and treat the pain ... not much else we can do! My pharmacy is super slow so I dropped off my prescriptions and said I would be back in two hours ... I came back and they were barely ready.  My foot was killing me! I hobbled home ... Then my entire right side of my torso seized up ... like having the worst gas pain throughout ... I could hardly move or breathe! This lasted for FOUR hours!!!!  I was in tears and so scared! I almost called my mum but there was nothing she could do ... I was rocking back and forth and lying down and getting up over and over ... so scary! Finally, I took some Tylenol #3's and that seemed to do the trick. I slept and woke up OK ... just tired and stiff ... so weird! Today I am just taking it easy ... My appetite is off so I can't even think about dinner  |

leannec, I think you should ping your doctor. It could be muscular, but you really should let him know. Did you have any nausea? I'm sorry that you're suffering right now. hutchfan, enjoy your weekend. Hard to believe that Santa will be here soon.

leannec - that really doesn’t sound good at all. Even if you can’t get in for an appointment, please try to call your doctor and let them know what has happened and ask for advice.

scrapmaven - **GypsyGirl** , I really hope that they'll put your husband in the best spot for his recovery whether it's home or an inpatient rehab setting. You both just need him to heal well. Are you getting enough rest? for the most part I am. Last night was a bit rough but that was because of the two vaccines I got yesterday (Covid and Flu) I didn’t think ahead and got one in each arm so it was hard to get comfortable. Other than that I am hanging in there.

I had a fun evening last night with my alphabet dinner crew. We laugh a lot and do a lot of reminiscing of our former work days together. I had a clubhouse to eat which was okay but I’ve had better.
Raining again today so keeping close to home. I took some books to the second hand store and that was my outing for the day.
Supper tonight will be salads topped with chicken.

Good afternoon all! I took the day off today and it was glorious to sleep until 7:30. I had a nice slow cup of tea and then got dressed. Ran to Dollar Tree for a giant red Christmas ornament for my DIY Grinch tree. Walmart for spray paint and then home. Ate some lunch and now in full clean up mode. DH has 2 friends coming over tomorrow to watch the game. So the public rooms are getting scrubbed and cleaned. Then ornaments on the tree so that it is not just a tree with lights.
Dinner tonight is either a seafood boil or pizza.

jeremysgirl you betcha!! I must say I am quite proud of it. It's a $5 4ft white tree from Dollar Tree with a 1.25 ft $1.25 white tree zipped tied to it. Then sprayed with Key Lime Rustoleum(I think). I'm not happy with the red ball. I have one out in the decorations, same size but opaque. I'll most likely switch them out.
