aKathy's What's for Dinner 5/13

Good evening again,

Today is my older DS’s birthday. According to my calendar, he is 38 years old, but I am not so sure - how can I have a child who is nearly 40?

I’ve chatted to both boys today - younger DS is in charge of my presents this year, and needed information from me so he could order my birthday present. I will collect said present when I get to Australia in July. I also walked down to do the recycling and shopping. I have been knitting since lunch. I had to pull out a lot of what I knit over the weekend, as I mixed up the size I was making - the problem with using a pattern with so many sizes! Good news is that it went more quickly second time around, as I knew what I was doing.

For dinner tonight I have made a huge pot of spinach dal. It will also be my lunch for the rest of the week I think!

Big hugs and good thoughts to all dealing with health and family issues.

Happy Tuesday!

I got a full 9 hours of sleep last night and feel much better today. Work is pretty much done but the Eurovision Song Contest starts today and it's something that DS and I look forward to every year. The Semi Finals are today and he already has his favorites. I don't listen to any songs ahead of time because I like to watch it live.

Aside from that, everything so far is pretty quiet. My sister called my mom earlier and she said she was dressed and ready for church. We had to tell her it was Tuesday and not a church day. Her blood sugar has been high since last night so that is a bit concerning.

My dad has a telehealth visit with his doctor today to get a renewal of his Ativan. I really hope they give it to him because it has made such a difference in his worrying which they think was causing some of the urinary issues. He's 93! Let the man have the good drugs He weaned himself off of Oxy all on his own so clearly he can handle some drugs.

It looks like my sister has him talked into moving into her house this weekend. He had been adamant that he was not going anywhere until his lease in up in July but I think he's lonely and this will help.

Not sure what dinner will be tonight. I think I'll take him out someplace as I don't feel like cooking.

Hope you all have a great day!

I’m just reposting what I posted last night, because (1) I have nothing new to say, and (2) I think half of you don’t even notice when I post because it’s usually late at night.


bye till the weekend, you all!

I just called and they are seeing me at 3!



Snickering like a 12-year-old boy. Have fun!

I try to cook fish outside if at all possible. I’m also perfectly happy to eat it out.

Made tuna fish salad for lunch. No mayo I use avocado and I added carrots & radishes. I put pickles on it because I’m out of relish.

Dinner is undecided. Tacos sound good but that requires a store trip. As does anything else I’m thinking.

I have a 3 wick lemon candle in the closet that I am pulling out after work. The 3 wick are usually too strong, but in the case, it will be perfect!

karenlou - we cook fish most weeks also. Can't say I've noticed a residual odour.

have fun lucyg

Tearisci - sorry about your mum's blood sugars - how old is she and how high are they? I know my MIL got to a point where they didn't stress so much about high blood sugars because the impacts are longer term and she was unlikely to live long enough to face them. Low on the other hand, is an immediate concern. (((Hugs))). I'm glad that your dad is moving in with your sister - I'm sure its hard for him to be alone.

scrapmaven - enjoy a quiet day and get some rest

cadoodlebug - glad you got an appointment - I hope it helps

sueg - Happy Birthday to your DS.

Hi to everyone else

Dinner tonight is leftover tacos from last night as we'll be at the school board meeting (starts at 6) as DD18 and the rest of the academic team are being recognised.

Yeah if she's going high enough to need the ER that's definitely needs treatment level. But I suspect at 88, they probably aren't as concerned about tight control as they are with younger patients. I hope they continue to improve with her monitoring. (((Hugs))) and prayers.

Have a great time! I know how those policemen party (my grandpa and uncle were NYS Troopers)

Hi, all - we're having rechauffe tonight, but all y'all's tacos are sounding really good too...

Have fun, lucyg - remind me to put Butt Crack, NV on my top 1000 places to visit! I hear you, as I am often a late-night poster here as well.

My chiropractor worked on my back for quite a while. Also gave me some stretches to do. I Googled them and, yikes, I don't think I can do them: two yoga stretches ~ the child's pose and the Pidgeon pose. Maybe when I was younger! I have another appointment in the morning. I'm also icing. I started that yesterday and should have started it Saturday.
