aKathy's What's for Dinner 3/26

Happy Wednesday!

Mom is doing well. Thanks for asking scrapmaven. She got a haircut yesterday and felt much better. I'll take her dinner tonight of our usual Whataburger.

My dad is very happy because he found out that he qualifies for VA benefits and that should cover a home health care service which will help him with daily tasks a few days a week and take some of the load off of us. We've been stretched pretty thin over the last month.

On a bad note, my BIL got Covid and we were all at his house on Sunday. I'm testing today and hopefully will be negative. I think I got the last booster so I'm hoping I'll be ok. My poor dad was there as well so I'm hoping he is healthy as well.

Hope you all have a great day!

This is some really great news. I am hoping that all these changes lift some responsibility off your (and your siblings) shoulders. Things are looking up!

I am going to have a slow afternoon today. I logged in at 6 this morning (it's 11 now) and I've done just about everything I need to. Been running at full steam ahead this morning. My brain has been with the program, I'm very pleased to report.

I am making a chicken and sundried tomato pasta for dinner tonight.

I'm going to post another post from my phone because I have a photo I want to share.

I slept poorly last night because it was so hot. I finally turned on the ceiling fan and that helped. I'm off to AquaFit this morning and have a physical with my primary care doctor this afternoon.

I love Buy Nothing on Facebook! My friend needs 22 brown paper bags to use as trash cans at the crop. She usually buys them but I told her I would ask on BN. I'm picking up over 40 this morning ~ for this crop and the next one.

Dinner will be Jalapeno Chicken.

That sounds delicious! Share the recipe if you can!

Happy Wednesday to all!
Working on laundry today and hopefully getting some reading in.
Fixing steak, baked sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese for dinner.

Well, my date last night completely bailed on me!  He won tickets to the Flames game (hockey) and took his youngest kid ... I guess the thought of taking me did not even cross his mind ... loser.  

Good thing I keep my options open ... the last two guys have been my age and total duds ... I'm going back to younger men!   

I'm leaving soon to pick up my teacher friend ... we are going to Costco and will then hit Subway and come back to my place to eat ... I have a couple of "jobs" for him ... mainly helping me change my stupid duvet cover!    .  He doesn't mind since I drive him places sometimes ...

Dinner is unknown at this time ... probably the other half of my sub!   

leannec what a jerky thing to do.

Look at my seedlings. There's at least going to be bok choy and kale.

Hi All, I've had a crazy busy week, I hosted a teambuilding training at the office on Monday and Tuesday, Today is filled with 5 calls and a company wide town hall, tomorrow is our annual company wide awards event . I'm very slowly digging out of the deep hole that being in the office creates.

I'm really just popping in to say hi and let everyone know I'm thinking of you!

Well, dh's car is up on the auction site. No bids yesterday, today we have bids of $2550 and $3000. 🤢 (the dealership would have given us $6200 had it not been for the issues last year).

We are having fish and either tots or fries, whichever I grab first. And some kind of vegetable.

It really is the nicest thing. And those garden tomatoes? Storebought has nothing on a garden tomato.

I'm trying to shake my annoyance at insurance. I had a before 8 call from an unknown number, hesitated a second and decided to answer. It was my prescription insurance letting me know Otezla was being denied because it was not prescribed for an FDA approved condition.   I think it is only approved for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Guess why I'm using it.   I did get through to start the appeal process, which should be authorized pending confirmation from my dermatologist that I do have psoriasis, but this is a headache I don't need right now. 

Shredding and cleaning and deciding on whether to work on another unfinished knitting project of cross stitch will fill my time today. 

I get a break to meet our accountant and sign off on the taxes this afternoon. DH had eight or so different work gigs last year. I know roughly what he made, but no idea what the final tax number will be. Fingers crossed we are even or owed something.

My mood has improved since DH texted asking if I wanted him to pick up Jersey Mike's for dinner. They are pledging to donate every single dollar that comes into a store today to charity. 

I go next Thursday the 3rd (10AM start) until 2PM Sunday.

lucyg: The maiden voyage was a huge success. The baked potatoes were delicious.

well.. it is way too warm!! 60 degrees this afternoon lucyg.

my friends were sick again (last time wife, this time husband).. and so we scored more free VIP tickets to the ski races. dh went out on his ski bike for 90 minutes, while it was still firm (30 degrees).. and I hussled and went over at 8:10 am to get a good table at locale. I watched the first run of the men's giant slalom and then dh came over in time for the seconded run. it was an exercise in can you survive the course? it was the worse conditions possible other than rain for running a ski race. 3-4 didn't finish. the american racer got 8th. the top guy who won overall for the year came in 2nd. it was exciting and we could see about 1/2 of the race by looking up the hill.. the rest we watched on big screens. fab food again.

tomorrow is the big game--the slalom races featuring the greatest athlete.. Micheala Shiffrin.. she is definitely the greatest ski racer of all time..and overall a great person. we might go skiing in the morning and watch the reruns of run #1 and see on tv run #2. may rain in afternoon.

for dinner.. I am making salads and dh wants the leftover pizza. I don't know what I am eating. at the races, sitting alone, I met a couple who turns out knows my brother super well. and they had a friend a local jeweler..

so in the afternoon, I went over to the town local vendor booths. nice and sunny, few people there. bought a poster, a set of placemats and napkins, a baseball cap for my dil.. and a necklace.. I was tempted but didn't buy a hat that said "I skied the trees, B...h"..

take care you all there seems to be some good news out there. dh is going out of town for the weekend and I hope to get a lot done.
