I'm preparing for a family supper next week, extra cleaning....mostly prepared food...anyway I'm somewhat stressed and fearful about covid..:confused:..I'll just have to eliminate hugs and kisses, and hope that's enough...I have all my shots not sure about the others.

yes its all a worry isn't it ?.. especially with this new variant which they say is much more easily caught than the Delta variant... albeit not as deadly .
 

Breaking out the large cast iron frying pan to fry some jumbo scallops. I'll use the drippings from the scallops done in butter to fry a batch of the garlic flavored gnocchi I made the other day. Not sure what dressing I'll use for the wilted fresh spinach, probably blu cheese. Dessert will be one of those extra large chocolate & walnut cookies that were made the same day as the gnocchi.

Sounds yummy.
 
Parked well away from the store so I don’t get trapped in by the crowds and by the snow. We have a snow warning and it wasn’t nice walking. Returned a pair jeans and ended up buying two shirts so broke even. At the grocery store, they were out of those dried onion rings to top a casserole. Home for lunch and just finishing up coffee. Later I’ll go out again to one store for those onion rings. I may have to change one of my recipes for tomorrow. Now I’m going to put a laundry on.

Have to agree with that sentiment, we have just got in from a rocking good night at a country pub, out in the forest. Everyone took care, all showed their inoculation cards, what a difference being out was, what a great party too. We dined out in the restaurant area and the bar area had been cleared of tables and chairs, a local band had everyone on their feet. It was wonderful.

Oh I envy you, nothing like that goes on around here....
 
I'm drinkin beer and trying to order 2 pepperoni pies online from Little Caesars. Sounds simple enough, but NO. Immediately there were 2 complications. First, the Doordash delivery site is showing the wrong delivery address. Next, I got an urgent email from my bank fraud detection service, saying there are suspicious charges on my card, (Little Caesars) and if I don't quickly respond to authorize the charge... They will freeze my card again? And I will have to request a new card be mailed to me, which takes several weeks and is a royal hassle. My bank has done this before, and I could not pay my rent or buy food for weeks!

Wow. I just wanted a friggin pizza. Not spend hours on hold, calling Little Caesars' and my bank customer support lines to straighten out the problems ordering a pie has created! The aggravation has ruined my appetite!
 
Spent the day at Joey setting his room up. Tired as heck. 6pm almost done and husband goes to move his dresser, be careful I say. Watch it!, I yelled. I got it, he says. Yup, je got it, a d he’s going to get it. He broke the bottom front completely off. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Idiot!!

Joey started to cry and I said stop. We have another dresser in the car, and we did. 😂. I had hoped to put two dressers in his room so I brought the second one over today. Took the broken one out, told Joey we’d get his pictures hung next Saturday, and since we were close to IKEA, popped the broken dresser back into the car, and took it back to IKEA for a refund.

Put his new sweats on the top of the dresser and told him I’d bring more hangers next week for them, but I was tired and leaving.

Told Joey NOT to change stuff in his room. Hopefully he doesn’t, but he will. 🤦🏻‍♀️
 
I went on a short walk this morning around 6:30,wearing my boots, a tad nippy
I'll be going to my church later service at 10:30am,couldn't go last Sun was too windy
This afternoon,my friend, Mary&I are going to friend's house have dinner with him&his partner,Don. Don lives here at our apt building Mary has never seen Dave's house all decorated for xmas. We were there this past summer for dinner
 
My son is coming to take, with me, my girl cat Buffy to the vet. She has chewed off all the fur on her right top paw. It started a year ago. She has been to another vet a few times with no results. Today we are going to a new vet. 3 neighbors really like this doc. I hope she can finally get some help. Sometimes I look at her paw and want to vomit, it's that gross. By some miracle, uninfected so far. I examine it & smell it a few times a day. I feel so sorry for my best girl.
 
Very foggy day here today again..4th day in a row. I'm pleased I'm not driving in it because here in the countryside it's wayy more difficult to see through the fog than it is in town...

It's cold too... 6deg at 2.30pm.. will be colder in an hour and half when its dark

I got some Ivy cut back this morning.. from the brick shed. It had grown very quickly this last few weeks since we've had heavy rain, and the branches were thick, so I wanted to nip that in the bud ( 'scuse the pun)... before it got too thick and I'd have to use a saw on them, and I was still able to cut them with the branch pruners . It felt really cold out in the garden, but i have a super thick jumper on so really it was just my hands that got icy...***bbrrrr***

Daughter rang and we chatted for over 1/2 hour , she'd just been to see 2 houses that are for sale about an hour North of where she lives.. but neither of them despite looking great on paper were suitable.. which is a shame because working full time, she doesn't get too much time to look at house,s and by the time she does they're usually sold.. ..and her temporary rental is due to end fairly soon...

I've got a mutton Pie in the oven , and I'm going to have that with Beans for lunch

When we dine out on a Sunday, inevitably we choose the traditional fare of roast beef and all the trimmings. Today, my wife wants to finish something that she is making so your's truly has prepared the meal. Chicken risotto, which went down a treat, helped by the glass of white wine. Cheers! All that preparation for Sunday roast, I'll leave that to the pub's chef.
 
Had a great lunch at the Korean BBQ place. Our son and his SO took us out for Xmas. They leave for California Thursday to go see her mother and family.

Messaged our realtor that we were no longer going to look for a house. The last house we looked at and offered on had 18 offers and ours was not accepted so we will stay in the apartment, and try again in a year. We are NOT going to end up house poor. We have to resign our lease January 1. Will let the mortgage lady know tomorrow.

Got all my fairly new towels folded up and ready to take to Joey. He only has four ragged mismatched towels and is using a couple of kitchen dishcloths for washcloths. 😱🤦🏻‍♀️ What happened to his complete set of fairly new towels-who knows but I can guess. His new socks are also gone as well 🤬. Will take them over next week, and buy myself some new ones, again.

Also buy him groceries next week, as there was not enough time to do it this week.

Husband went back to full time and got his new work schedule today as the rent will be raised with the new lease and we want to get the car paid off as soon as possible with the rising costs of everything. He has worked from home since Covid started so a new upsurge won’t effect us. Now that winter is here, and it’s super cold, and lots of snow; we will mostly stay in.

My face really hurts and looks awful from the burning of the skin cancer and the one biopsy. Whine. 🥺
