AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 07/26

I'm taking a lazy day. may go to the town down the valley and do some grocery shopping and pick up dh's meds.

there are lots of people at the condo complex so I won't go to the pool.

salmon out of the freezer for dinner, with a salad

maybe get dh to help put back the winter bedding.. now that I have washed/cleaned it all.

leannec , are you going to at least get your burrito? You and I would be good shopping partners. I go, get what I need and get out as fast as possible. Enjoy your Saturday.


Thank you for asking leannec . Yesterday I ran my machine (Houston doctor) almost non-stop. I think I showed the machine to **GypsyGirl** on one of my trips. It's much duller right now. I'll see how the day goes. Today I'll be resting and running my machine, hoping to further eradicate the headache. I need to get a few things together for dh to pack, as well.

Dinner will be some bao and steamed rice. Thank you packaged freezer food. I'm not doing anything productive.

My lovelies, I wish for a fun, enjoyable, restorative day to all!

I am scouring the internet for a place for my mom. The one I fouind last night is in "the ghetto" according to my niece. Going to look for about another 1/2 hour and then go clean her pool and get some sun.

Good afternoon. I'm sitting in the cool and eating some Sriracha tempura seaweed snacks from Costco. I got them a few weeks back and decided they were fantastic! But I didn't get back to Costco until a week ago. I was so afraid they wouldn't have them any longer but they did!! So I bought 2 bags.😆

I'm sitting in the cool because I have been weed eating some spots in the yard, weeding the front garden and looking for the weed shields that I found a couple of weeks after after looking for several weeks for them in the garage. Welp, I'm ready to use them now and I can't frikken find them. Again. When I found them initially, I grabbed them and thought I need to put these in the open so I will have them at the ready. Somebody please tell me why this keeps happening. 🤪 I also painted the sample I got for my front porch ceiling. I'm going to embrace the crazy old southern lady and I'm painting it haint blue. I love the sample spot so I need to go get enough for my small porch.

Why did I do this in the later heat of the morning you ask? Because I watched the worst series on Netflix. I have the book and will read it next while the series is fresh. The internet said they strayed so far from the book. The Hunting Wives if you're wondering. It was so bad but I couldn't look away.

I'm about to vacuum and go clean the bathroom floors. I've done one load of laundry and have another ready to go. Once I shower, I'm pulling out one of my Lego sets. Dinner tonight will be some "steak" bites with peppers and onions, baby broccoli and maybe rice. I need to figure out a gravy solution.

Y'all have a good but cool day!

I haven't posted in a few days...I've been sick with Covid. I started feeling not-so-great on Monday night/Tuesday AM, with a sore throat that quickly became very painful and was accompanied by congestion and cough. Thursday morning I took a home Covid test and was not surprised that it was positive. I had been telling DH that my symptoms felt exactly the same as when I had Covid 2 years ago when we were in Ireland.

Friday I had a telehealth visit with my doc and she sent in a couple of RXs, one of which was for the antiviral med. So I've had 2 doses of paxlovid so far and can definitely already feel a difference. Still need to sleep 24x7 but at least there's progress. Going to take a shower (finally!) and then go back to sleep...that is the sum of my plans for the day. DH and DS are keeping me fed and hydrated, and one of my dear SILs sent me a care package with lightweight fluffy socks and other niceties for comfort.

I don't know what's for dinner, probably soup for me and the other two will fend for themselves. 

Dinner tonight is my BD dinner so it is out...and KelleeM will be joining us💝

Sadly my sweet Ida Mae ended up in the doggie ICU last night. She was medicated got IV fluids as she was so dehydrated. She got her ultra sound this morning...She has gastritis . So I have spoken to her MD twice today. She was fed around noon, and has kept it down so far. She will stay another night just to be sure, and will come home on meds to treat the gastritis. They would have let her come home today, however after what I saw with her vomiting yesterday I want to make sure she is really keeping food down.

DH had a rough night. He was up most of the night with acid reflux. After many meds, he finally started to feel better. He was on the verge of going to emerg for a Pink Lady cocktail. Not sure what that concoction is but he had to have it once before and it was a miracle drug. He’s feeling much better now and has no idea what caused it.

For some reason my mom texted me at 3:21 am to see if I was okay!! I turn my phone off at night (can’t hear it anyway with my hearing aids out) so I didn’t see the text until this morning. I called her and she said her phone kept ringing and my name was on the screen. It definitely wasn’t me as I was zonked out in bed. I’m not sure if she was dreaming, hallucinating or if the phone really was ringing. Weird.

We are going to my besties house for supper tonight. Her DH went to chef school (although is now a real estate agent) so meals are always amazing at their place.

I ate at what I think was Golden Corral in Edmonton and liked it because I could eat lots and it was better than CAB (Central Academic Building’s cafeteria which was terrible. I went with 2 good friends and we had fun. Getting home in -35°C was difficult. I liked the food there. That was in about 1989.

True, Leanne it might have been Ponderosa. It was 30+ years ago and I haven’t been to Edmonton since 1990 or so.

Thank you! Great advice.

My dd sent me an IG link about a small study showing semaglutide may help migraines.

We tried a newer restaurant by us. We had salads & fries.
