Around the bend.... Wednesday
A strange start to my Wednesday, as I yawn and try to get back to sleep. Mother is running the vacuum outside my bedroom with the door open. Roused, I went to see what the clatter was all about. Said she was trying not to wake me up. Thoroughly confused as why she thought running the vacuum outside my open door at four in the morning wouldn't wake me, I took the opportunity to take out the garbage.

Yesterday I had supplied her with a homemade spray bottle of flea killer with instructions to spray at night and vacuum in the morning every day for two weeks. Have I unleashed an early bird monster?

Also started some garlic steeping in olive oil, since I was listening to the static of a vacuum anyway. It's a start to some more focaccia. I hear the garbage truck coming up the road. Maybe I can get a couple more hours of sleep before the sky starts to lighten up.

What a rude awakening Points. Oh well,Mother had things to do!

Didn't have Crispy Italian baked chicken last night so we will tonight. Neighbor had surgery so brought over some flowers,a rotisserie chicken and prepared mashed so they didin't have to cook. Got the same for us last night!

No whining from me today...just the simple act of getting that roast together and put in the slo cooker has lifted my spirits. When I start smelling it later I will be a very happy lady.

Karma's birthday is tomorrow but she wants to celebrate it Friday so she doesn't have to go to bed early. I'm hoping I will feel even better then. Have a cake to bake for them to decorate. And shhh, don't tell anyone but I am secretly thrilled at getting out of trick or treat duty this year. LOL, hope he is prepared to take them...I'm staying home with the bowl of candy. ;-P

Hope all my friends' families are taking a turn for the better with me....

The couch is calling....see you all later!


RE: Around the bend.... Wednesday
Glad you are on the mend, Ang! Early Happy Birthday to Karma. I don't blame her for wanting to celebrate on Friday, who wants to go to be early on their birthday? ; )

Hillary's H1N1 test was negative!!! She still feels like crap, her whole body is just so sore. But we can deal with that!!!

No clue what's for supper tonight, whatever she feels like eating. Probably cream of chicken soup and a grilled cheese.


RE: Around the bend.... Wednesday
Ang, I think I can smell your roast already! I would make one except I would have to go to the store. Glad to see you are feeling a tad better today. Happy birthday to Karma, how old will she be?
Points, I am sure waking up to a vacuum is not the best way to start the day! Looks like you have made the best of it anyway. You sure have more energy than I would at that time of the morning.
Pleclare, how sweet of you to take care of your neighbor. Your chicken sounds great.
Not sure what is for dinner around here; I have no potato's so I am pretty sure whatever it is will involve rice! Guess I need to look in the freezer and see what meat awaits the rice.
Have a great one!
Patti


RE: Around the bend.... Wednesday
Ang,so glad you are starting to feel better. Happy Birthday to Karma!!

Patti,my neighbors are very good to me also so it was the least I could do. They are younger than us and when it snows,he often beats Phil to plowing our driveway.


RE: Around the bend.... Wednesday
Patti,glad Mason seems to be doing better!!


RE: Around the bend.... Wednesday
Points, what a way to be roused!!!......At least you don't have to vacuum today...LOL

Pat, you're a doll thinking of the neighbors

Ang, so happy you're feeling better

Lori, happy to hear it's not H1N1...Hope Hilary's feeling better soon

M2, How's Mason doing?

Doing Steak Bombs with home made french fries for supper.


RE: Around the bend.... Wednesday
Lori,glad it's not H1N1 but sorry she feels lousy!

Yeast is having sex with a lump of dough in the microwave. I expect to see some results in about an hour. I'm hoping for a little slice of heaven in the form of focaccia.

Mother's off to the senior center and I have time to look for a nap. We're off to a doc's appt later on in the afternoon. You know, she's coming to a bend in the road and picking up speed, headed for the big Eight Zero. She is a woman ahead of her time. In her mind she was a week ahead of herself last week. Think she is becoming more impulsive. (Yeah right! As if a woman can become more impulsive. :) ) Saved $2 on $10 in 'scrips in the pharmacy yesterday, then when we rolled up to the checkout counter we didn't have the coupon to save $10 on a $50 grocery bill.

Enough verbal abuse of the senior staff or I'll never find that nap.


RE: Around the bend.... Wednesday
LOL--loved that post, Points. (Try saying that 7 times fast)

I dang ran out of black pepper. How can I cook without black pepper?

More later. Pepper run.

I feel like I drove all over Massachusetts today. Drove to Salem to get a P&S signed then back to wilmington, on to Leominster to drop off the P&S and a check. Then to Dracut to check on the electrical on another property, Wally world and home, now gotta bring the eldest to a dance at the middle school and the youngest to the doctor for a hearing test. & then take her to the field for soccer practice in the rain.
Why do I feel like I need chocolate??? LOL
tonights dinner is going to be turkey chili. I never remember to buy thos little crackers


RE: Around the bend.... Wednesday
What a day everyone had....

Last time I looked I had 4 cans of pepper. Happy to share!

We ate leftover sauerkraut and kielbasa with frozen pierogis.

Made the kitty litter cake. It turned out awesome. Changed the recipe a lot. Will post later.


RE: Around the bend.... Wednesday
