Hello everyone ,

I had an interesting and good P.T. session this morning.
Felt good afterwards, and interacted with dh, and ate.

Now I'm feeling exhausted, and looking for a soft cozy blanket and bed.

Happy Friday to each one of you.

I love how chipper you sound!!!

Sleep well, sweet dreams......

Thank you, RR, about the dental.

Last time we stocked up on salmon, we cut it into smaller portions so we could stretch it out to last longer.
It seemed to work.

Otherwise we just cook it the same simple way. Easy and quick.
Just a simmer to steam it, plain.
We both need it to be extra soft .
Olive oil or light margarine is enough. It's fresh so it tastes great.

There are only 2 ways that we like fish, and the simple simmer method is one of them. Easy peasy! And delicious!

I let my husband cook the fish. I dry it out... every time. I've got this thing about wanting to make sure the fish is really cooked. Really cooked. My husband bakes the salmon until it is firm, but still soft and buttery. So nice.

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends.

@Kaila, nice that you had a good physical therapy session yesterday. Hoping you got the nap you were looking for.

It was hot here yesterday! The high was freaking 88F/31C. I felt it on the dog walks. Where are my cool autumn breezes? Today's high is at least lower at 80F/26.6C, which is good, but I'm waiting for much cooler temps.

It's the usuals for me today; which is a good thing. I enjoy my days.

Hoping everyone woke feeling hale and hearty this Saturday. Wishing you all a peaceful day.

Good evening. Good to read that your pt session went well @Kaila.

Not very nice weather today, rain for most of the day so in a way I'm glad that the laptop I wanted wasn't in stock and I didn't have to go into town. Have been looking at alternative laptops online and found another that looks good. Going to read some reviews on it before deciding whether to get it or to wait for the other one to come back in stock.

Going to play in the word games then settle down to watch some tv. It's the introduction of the contestants in Strictly Come Dancing tonight. I used to really enjoy this programme, I am not quite as enthusiastic as I used to be... but I'll probably still watch it. I do enjoy watching ballroom dancing, just some of the celebrities leave me cold, especially this year's offering.

Loved reading your report on the PT session, Kaila! Always good to hear when things like that go well!

I used to make that same error, until I learned how quickly, fish goes from perfectly delectable to too rubbery to chew.

You might want to look at the specifications section on each laptop that grabs your attention,Pam.
Emphasis on might!

Look there (if you dare )
for any features that are important to you.
Amongst the ones on their list that are possibly comprehensible.

Such as, if you want a lighter weight laptop, or if a touchscreen is important to you, etc.

It's confusing but sometimes narrows down to something you'd be happier with than something else.

Yep, that's what I generally produce, the chewy kind. I just can't help myself. I've gotta let husband do it.

That sounds like a very wise decision.

I've had trouble with sleep the past couple of nights and days, which feels rather miserable.

Therefore today, it was a major struggle to do 1 errand to the fish market, to restock our freezer with salmon.

Managed a too- short nap, this afternoon, but you know that old expression;

Any nap is better than no nap.


A chilly night on tap which means patchy frost in some locations, but i don't expect that in ours. It makes cool mornings though. s

 

[CallMeKate]

Good morning, Kaila & Friends! I'm about to have my first coffee and a cheese danish (can't help it, I'm weak!) and wanted to say good morning first. The pulled muscle is still painful, but my plan is to soldier through. Wow, frost already, Kaila?! Still in the 70s here and some days 80s but I know that will stop soon enough. Enjoy your day, everyone!

Happy Sunday, peeps! Beautiful picture, @RadishRose! Wouldn't we all just love to take a stroll through that forest? So serene...

I hope you had a restful night last night, @Kaila, and will have a good day today.
Same goes for the rest of the K-posse... make it a good day if you can.

Yes, you're quite right about specifications etc. I don't like touchscreens, make too many mistakes with them on my tablet.

Good Morning (just barely), Kaila and Friends.

Husband and I both overslept by about 90 minutes this morning! Which is weird because we don't sleep in the same room and go to bed at vastly different times. But we were both in a rush this morning.

Usually, I make my coffee first, get everything set up for his coffee, e.g, get his cup and spoon out, etc., leave him a good morning, love note taped to the sugar. It's nice. This morning, he was all but hip-checking me to make his coffee first. Not really, he asked if I'd mind if he bumped me and of course I didn't; he's got to go to work.

On the upside, the weather was lovely on the first dog walk; cool and cloudy.

@Kaila, glad you got a nap yesterday and hoping you also got some rest last night.

Wishing everyone here a peaceful Sunday.

Good evening, my friends,

I had only gotten a little more sleep overnight, but it was enough for me to feel more human this morning.
Dh has had a pretty good weekend, with only minor mishaps.

I sorted and organized our laundry, today, and I prepared notes for an appointment tomorrow, and I watched a bit of mindless football for a change of pace.
Then a short nap, quick shower..... a pretty good day, after all, and overall.

i went to Aldi for a couple of items. On the way back I stopped for gas. As I was closing the little door to the gas tank I dropped my car key. It looked like it went under the front of the rear tire but I had trouble finding it as I couldnt get down low enough to see well.
I guy walked by and I said excuse me, could you give me a hand? He was kind and we found it nestled inside the wheel. The other day I asked a woman to get something off a top shelf for me.
I guess this is the new me.

 

[Kaila]

Accepting help in New ways.... sometimes we do need to get used to doing that.

Thanks for your sharing on that,
@Babs2u
I've had to be doing that,too.

Accepting help in New ways.... sometimes we do need to get used to doing that.

It‘s the new reality for many of us. It’s smart to accept it and ask for help. I think people like to do it. I was always happy to do it for someone else. We were trained as Brownies and Scouts for this day.

 

[CallMeKate]

Good morning, K-Posse! It's here, it's here! Are we happy about that? I sure am!

Isn't it nice to experience the kindness of others when we need a little help @Babs2u? Renews faith that people are good.

Happy fall, K-Posse!

On Sat, DS came over and we went out to Starbucks, the bank and the UPS store to drop off my return to Amazon. We had our kitchen knives sharpened at the supermarket.

Last evening my neighbor came over and I ordered pizza; she brought chocolate muffins and lemon bars.

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends.

Autumn has arrived!! Yay!


@Kaila, glad you've gotten some rest.

I think you guys are right in that most people are kind and happy to help.

Watched some PBR (Professional Bull Riding) with husband last night, which was fun. And we've both woken on time this morning so, good start to the day. I'm planning to enjoy the Lucius walks in the autumn weather.

@RadishRose, pizza, chocolate muffins and lemons bars sound delicious. I could eat those all together. Well, maybe not in the same bite, but still.

Wishing you all a lovely day.
