Early morning stop in!
My paper stack is a little light again today. That's alright, I'll take it! Winter is our busy season, as we service many oilfield companies, and that is when they do the bulk of their work to get new drill sites set up. So summer/fall is not as busy in our office. So I can enjoy lighter days...and I really enjoy not feeling guilty about wanting to leave early on Friday afternoons because the office is dead!!!
We went and received our second shots yesterday. It's been a long wait for us, but we finally have ours done. So far, feeling good besides my arm really hurts today and is very tender to touch it. Not even an hour after, my upper arm was hot and red. That seems to have went away. So now in two weeks...we should be good to go!!!! Not that we are going anywhere except to see the kids lol.
I've been lost in Yourtube world trying to pick our perfect birthday celebration trip!!! I want to put a deposit down now, before prices sky rocket when our travel restrictions lift. I am heavily leaning towards Dominican Republic. I would love to go to the same area we were in Mexico before (I still haven't seen much outside of the resorts that I wanted to do) but if we have family/friends go with us, they would rather go to a different area. But for this special trip...I really want a VERY tropical feel!!!!! The DM has always been on my bucket list...so now is my chance!!!
We made it through the horrible winds yesterday. We only lost a few branches off of one tree. Our neighbor lost some flashing off the side and some shingles. There were reports of a few trampolines flying into other peoples yards yesterday, and fences being blown down and then dogs escaping. My FB page was flooded with reports of " found" lost dogs lol. It was crazy windy. Today is gloomy and rainy. But we need the rain, so I can't get too upset about the rain.
Happy birthday to you Mom!!! That's an amazing age! It is appreciated when work is understanding about needing time off - especially for family reasons.
Retail therapy is always a great pick me up...even if you don't buy anything. I love to look around and window shop!
Your walk sounds lovely. I know your like us, we enjoy the warmer weather when we get it...because before we blink it's cold again The strawberry lemonade sounds delightfully refreshing. Enjoy the jerk chicken!!!!
Well, I should shuffle around a few of the papers in front of me.
Have a great day everyone!!!!
Yes, we both need to take advantage of the nicer weather when it appears.....glad your shots went well, always good to tick that box and have no bad side effects.
Strawberry lemonade was lush!!! As was the chicken thanks.......full up!!
They will have a super time off of your recommendations!
Sounds like a perfect day with your granddaughter!!
She's beautiful!
Enjoy the good weather and hope you're doing ok!
Yes, the students get fitted for the scrubs. They want them to have a professional appearance, and not fit like paper bags, lol!
Great news about the truck payoff!
A night out at a steak house sounds like a pretty good plan!!
I've used Tony for years as well. He's a very nice guy!
Happy Birthday to your mom!
Retail therapy?? I'm in!!
I'm lucky that I can really wear anything and my feet won't complain. I do have some nice sandals like Birks, Keen, Sanuk, etc
I found out at StrongWater Tavern that jerk seasoning is too spicy for me! They had a special on jerk chicken legs the evening we were there, and gave it a try. Thankfully DDs roommate enjoyed it!!
We had a fantastic trip to the DR just over 2 years ago!! PM me if you want any details from our trip.
DDs scrubs fitting went well yesterday. She was able to bring 5 tops home. The pants needed to be ordered since she wears a long. Those should be ready for pick up in 2 weeks.
I didn't realize at the time, but the uniform shop is right next door to an incredible bakery!! It opened in 1937 and is a Milwaukee institution. Naturally, a stop next door had to be made. I got their "famous" cheese pocket, and DD got a chocolate filled buttercream donut. We brought some home for the neighbors and DH too of course.
I think we will be filling orders for the bakery when we go back to pick up the pants in a couple weeks!

We might get some rain today, and it's badly needed. Hopefully we get enough to green the lawn a bit.
Tonight will be baked salmon, sauteed zucchini, and cheddar broccoli rice. Kinda healthy, and will be gobbled down by all 3 of us!
Need to clean out and organize my spice cabinet. It's getting too full, and plenty in the way back that needs to go. A wild and crazy Thursday around here, lol!!!!
Yes, I think they will Lori.....we like similar things, so I`ve based choices on what we would like.......
Lovely sounding donuts!! And nice dinner too, although can I miss out the rice.....lol......
I have a husband who could clear out your spice cabinet.......honestly, drives me nuts and I have no clue why he does it. I have everything in a certain place and in order, so I know where everything is and there is a section for oils and balsamic vinegars.....he moves them around and says he thought I`d like it. Er, no.....funny, he never does it with any other cabinet! I can send him over if need be........lol.....
Yep, dinner was super spicy and delicious. And very filling, sitting watching one of the football games rather unusually.
Going round to our friends home tomorrow night. He just popped round to check on my foot and asked if we`d like to go round and watch the Scotland - England game tomorrow evening. With some English there and some Scottish, it`ll be fun!!! Our friend is Scottish too, and actually grew up about 20 minutes from where I lived......and we`re the exact same age, only separated by two weeks. Funny how we ended up in the same place. So looking forward to that, it`ll be a fun night.
Time to empty the dishwasher and make up a strawberry lemonade........
