What I'm Reading This Week #35
Howdy do and happy last Friday of August! I hope you had a good week and if your weather was like ours, it was FINALLY under 93 degrees. Don't get me wrong, I know sweater weather isn't here but it was nice to not have the AC working overtime (set to 76) starting at 11am every day! It was nice to not walk out to water the garden and walk into a wall of humidity so I will take what I can get. Speaking of which: With this 3" San Marzano , I shall be able to make enough sauce to cover 7.3 spaghetti noodles. 😒 Now let's get to: How to Stock Your Pantry for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes (Ooh, I need to crockpot some black beans for some sweet potato black bean burritos.)

It has been quite a week and it's only Wednesday. We definitely are handling it better than we would've before. I guess we're hardened a bit after some of the stuff we've dealt with in the past too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, its really piled on this week. Yes, we have.
DeleteIt does seem like "stuff" happens in groups. The old adage about coming in 3s comes to mind, but I don't know that that's true either. Sometimes it sure seems that way though. It's too bad about your tree. I have one in my front yard that needs to be removed - it would have been nice if mine had been taken out for free and yours left for the view.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your tv and moisture problems. I hope they are both easily solved.
I like to think they don't come in three's but they usually do for us. We just brace up when we hit the second thing. Well next time I will send the mighty wind your way to uproot your tree! :-)
DeleteOh big time things go wrong for me in groups. Let's see, last week I took my mom to downtown Chicago for a brain CT scan in which she had the directions wrong so we were heading near Indiana. Then we were given wrong info at the hospital so we had to toggle between two hospitals connected by a glass bridge 4 stories up (I'm terrified of heights). Mom can't walk 20 feet without having to stop and breathe (refuses a wheelchair). I did 4400 steps in the hospital alone for a 45 min test. Then we got lost going home and ended up close to the South Side where I grew up. By this time it was 4pm so we were in the heart of rush hour (with the Sox game going on) so it took 2 solid hours and 3/4 tank of gas to get home. All that for mom to find out she needed to go BACK down there on Monday at 7:30am for an MRI. And that was to find out she has mets to the brain. Which led me to my job in which I don't qualify for FMLA yet and they'd "prefer to not hold my job for me" (and aren't legally required to do so). Lovely week.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of mold, I'm wondering if we have it in our house because every time we run the a/c or the heat there is this smell that comes up through the vents! I can't find any water seepage or anything downstairs but there is a definite "moldy" type of smell. Makes me wonder if that's why I can't get rid of this nasty throat thing. I have some calls to make too, so I understand your frustrations. I laughed what you said about the tv in the bedroom! It's so easy to get sucked in to late night stuff isn't it!
Oh my Lord, what a cluster****. I hope her MRI comes back clear. I'm sorry but your work sucks. You have ended up at some of the worst places. I hope you end up somewhere eventually that treats you with a little respect for once.
DeleteI bet mold is the issue especially if you're having a throat issue.
