Lighter Side Cafe, Thursday and Friday, Feb 8 & 9

Hi!

Well, I started a “Z-pak” yesterday (Zithromycin) and am finally starting to feel better. I am still very congested, but don’t feel like a zombie today. Doc also gave me a gel pill for the cough and I haven’t had a coughing fit yet today.

Judy, if you make your Camellia red beans according to the recipe on the package they’ll be every bit as good as mine. I think we’ll be having chili and hotdogs tonight. I cut up my beefy frank and top it with chili, chopped tomato, onions and avocado and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Very filling and I don’t miss the bun.

Olga is here cleaning the front of the house, so DH and I are reading in the bedroom. I am so thankful for that woman! She’s so sweet and does an excellent job.

Not much else going on with us.

Good Morning WW Friends ~

TGIF!  We are having an unexpected warm spell. Temp reached 60 yesterday and will again today.

DH's sister was in the hospital (ER) last night for a very sore shoulder following a couple of falls. She is in Pennsylvania, so it is frustrating to not be close enough to help or at least encourage her at this time.

I slept great and woke early this morning. I had FF Greek yogurt with blackberries and a splash of Fiber One for breakfast.  I am going to lunch with a friend and we planned to go a local diner for their soup & sandwich. In fact, their name is "Soup 'N Sanz". Then some shopping, then finish off with a McDonald's Shamrock Shake.  The Shakes just came out as they are a seasonal item.

Tonight we are meeting my VBF and her DH for dinner at a nearby steak house (Texas Roadhouse I believe).  There is a brand new one locally and we want to try it.  The rest of our weekend is wide open and I hope to get a few things done around here.  

I am finally feeling better, though I still tire easily with walking.  But I'll take it easy today and usually I am better if I stop and rest.  

No news yet on DBIL who needs a valve replacement. He is either dawdling or being put off, it's hard to tell. But we have decided all we can do is love him and pray for him.  Their younger sister is also facing some cardiac testing next week, so it's become a family affair.

I retired my old WW food scale finally.  I've had it forever (DH bought it as a Christmas present years ago) and the points calculator is sadly outdated, and the backlight burned out ages ago.  So I ordered a new scale from Amazon and received it yesterday.  This morning I put in the batteries and set it up on the counter. I can already tell I am going to love it! Wonder why I waited so long??  But it's mine now:-)

BBL.  Make a great day!
