The Lighter Side Cafe - Weekend Edition 2-2 thru 2-4

Good Morning, WW Friends ~

TGIF!! I always feel like it's Saturday when I wake up on Friday because we don't work on Friday.  So this is like an extra "free day" to me.  I was entering some school days off on my calendar yesterday and really got myself mixed up - including telling DH I had to leave early this morning to go to WW for WI, then when I looked it is two weeks away!  We are going to weigh in early this month because VBF is going to Florida for a month.  

I have been busy listing some equipment on Facebook Market Place for DH.  He gave me a list sometime ago but I never got around to navigating that site, which I haven't used for some time now.  But now that it's done, it's a good feeling. Now I just have to remember to check it every couple days.

This week's menus have been quite easy.  I got out the George Foreman grill and cooked chicken breasts and angus beef burgers and chicken/gouda/apple sausages.  We had burgers night before last and DH brought home a serving of cole slaw and a half order of tater tots for us to put with them.  YUM!!  Last night we had salad (brought home from school) enhanced with chicken breast and some salad kit from Meijer, and it made a delicious entree!! We baked a sweet potato and halved it to go with.

Judy ~ I seem to have confused the issue again.  My DBIL is still waiting to be scheduled for a TAVR (hopefully next week).  My DH is having the Carotid Duplex Scan next Tuesday.  We scheduled it for after school so I can go with him.  You're right, though, that there is so much going on, it is easy to get it confused.  I guess that comes with the age.  Glad your DH is doing well, also.

Ann ~ I do miss hearing about you and Carl (and, of course, Benjamin).  There is an empty spot in my morning when I don't hear from you.  OF course we understand about you doing what is comfortable and what works for you, but keep us in mind, please!!

Pam ~ Hope things are going well with you. I think about you so often.

We finally have some nice weather today.  In fact, just a little while ago I looked outside and saw some sunshine however fleeting!  We haven't seen the sun in DAYS and it is a nice change. Unfortunately I have been stuck in the house so far, but may get out later.

Yesterday I walked through the Meijer parking lot and the store without using a cart, and it felt really good. I began talking to DH about accompanying me to the big Mall so I can walk a bit but with company for stability as much as anything else. The vertigo is so much better, but far from resolved.  I think now it's going to be a case of rebuilding.  My goal is to be able to walk in sandals outside by the Summer.

We had cantaloupe and HB egg for breakfast and I'm planning to have my yogurt and blackberries with F1 for lunch. Supper is still up in the air, but there is lots of food in the fridge at the ready.

I think I'll get my house in order and then watch the noon news and then decide what to do this afternoon.

BBL.  Make a great day!!

Judy ~ I know that feeling very well .... I'm constantly confused about something lately.  I continue to blame it on my "illness" but I suspect there's an age-related component there too, but I just laugh it off and go on....

Hello friends,

I am under the weather this evening with a terrible sore throat. Will try to post tomorrow after a night of rest. Otherwise, all is well with us.

Good Afternoon, WW Friends ~

Happy Sunday!  We have just returned from one of our favorite brunch places (with leftovers for later). Unfortunately DBIL was not able to join us and he was sorely missed!  He has an appointment with a new cardiologist to see about scheduling his TAVR surgery.  

Ann ~ It was "just like old times" to open the Cafe and find you here.  So warm and welcoming!  Glad your back is better.  Good news about the new eye doctor, and great idea to have Carl go and try it out first <lol>

Judy ~ I know you're having a great time with those DGKs. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I also love crockpot meals.  So rewarding to come home to supper already cooked!!  A favorite memory of mine is the year DH bought me my bread maker. We were still busy with our Auction business, and the first day I put vegetable beef soup in the crockpot, and a loaf of bread on delay start in the bread machine.  I was gone all day and when I opened the door in the evening, it smelled absolutely heavenly!!  Nothing like it!!

Pam ~ So sorry about your sore throat!  I have suffered with them extensively in the past and can sympathize. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids. Feel better.

Last night we opted for ham and cheese sandwiches on Dave's Killer bread with smoked ham and CoJack cheese. We also had some Ritz Ranch flavored crackers.  DH brought home DQ Snickers Blizzards and we split one in the evening while watching TV.  All in all, a fun and satisfying Saturday night.

We finally have some sunshine today and it is in the upper 40's.  So nice to see the sun!!

BBL.  Make a great day!

I meant to add that I’m sorry you are sick, Pam. Hope you feel better soon. Hugs
