Volunteered at Pioneer Bluffs for a while last night. I left when the music started as I wanted to get home before my guests came back to the house. It was fun interacting with the guests that came to hear the 312th Army Band but I was peopled out.
Went to KC this morning to have lunch with two dear friends. Always a good day when I get to spend time with them. We ate at Ya Ya’s in Overland Park. They have a side dish of sautéed vegetables. When I told the waitress I needed 10 oz of them she said she would check with the chef. When she brought them out she said the Chef had weighted them for me to make sure I had enough. Love that type of service! I also had a piece of grilled salmon on top of the veggies.
I stopped at Costco after lunch and picked up a few things and then headed home. Stopped in Emporia to get groceries so I can make breakfast Saturday and Sunday for two of the guests that are coming over the weekend.
Dropped a jar of mayonnaise in the garage when I was unloading the car. The dogs were going to help me clean it up but they kept having to spit out glass. I think I got it cleaned up before they actually ingested any glass. I was sorry I broke it and didn’t get to try it. It didn’t have sugar in it and mayonnaise without sugar is hard to find. Maybe next time!
I buy chicken tenders at Costco and then repackage them into the right-size serving for me and then freeze them. I spilled chicken juice all over when I picked up the empty container. Yuck!
Didn’t sleep very good again last night. Sure was hoping going off caffeine and sugar would help me sleep better. Some days I manage to get a good night’s sleep but not for the last couple of nights. I’m a bit cranky and tired this afternoon. Making two big messes didn’t help my mood much.
My two guests will be leaving in the morning and I have six more coming in tomorrow. Four won’t be here until after 9:00 as their flight is scheduled to land in Wichita at 7:00. The other two are coming mid-afternoon.
Still haven’t decided if I am going to the Symphony Saturday. It will depend on how needy the group of four guests are and what their plans are. If they plan on being gone all day and evening Saturday I will probably go for at least part of the evening. It will also depend on if I think I can be around people and handle a crowd. Some days I can and other days I can’t.
Have four tea towels completed on the second set I am working on. I didn’t do much yesterday but embroidery. Felt good to have a day where I could sit most of the day.
Monday afternoon I have to drive to Topeka for a thyroid ultrasound. It will take over an hour to drive there and the test only takes 15 minutes. Glad my medical insurance deductible is finally met – this ultrasound will be 100% paid for by my medical insurance.
So far when my guests check out on Monday I don’t have any other guests scheduled until Friday. It will be a nice break to have no guests for a couple of nights. That can always change though.
Grateful for a safe trip to and from KC today, grateful to get to spend time with my dear friends, and grateful for restaurants that make staying on plan easy!
