154.1. Down again but for how long? I had 2 glasses of wine at the show last night so might have been a bit dehydrated this morning!
Good church service at our new church this morning! First time in a long time that the worship music brought me to tears!
Otherwise, a pretty lazy day today. DSD, fiancé and DC1 all hanging out today doing a puzzle on the kitchen table. Only DC1 staying for dinner which is leftovers (my favorite?Not!)
Tomorrow I?m taking the kids (adults really) to the Pumpkin patch about an hour away. They have a petting zoo, homemade baked goods (the best apple pies), apples, pumpkins, a little coffee shop and a build your own caramel apple station! Should be fun. The kids want to carve pumpkins later this week. Nice to have some young energy in the house. We are bah humbugs about Halloween and usually go out to eat and keep the lights off so we don?t get Trick or Treaters. They honestly make the dogs too nervous!

Sorry you are still sick Diane but glad it isn't the dreaded Covid!

Nothing better than a Midwest hot dish. My favorite is Tater Tot casserole with mixed veggies! I like to do a lasagna one too which is essentially lasagna ingredients (I like the cottage cheese version) with malfala pasta instead of lasagna noodles. Hmmmm, makes me think of one my kids loved that I have not made in forever. We called it Chicken Crunch, Crunch. It had cubed chicken breast (cooked), rice, chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, celery, onions, water chestnuts and sliced almonds. At the end it was topped with Asian rice noodles and served with soy sauce! Might need to make that when the kids are all home again!

Congratulations on a negative test - hopefully your cold will clear up before the party.
We binge watched The Lincoln Lawyer this season too. Really good show!

Greetings all
Early for me but I am not going out today. Still have this nasty cold. I am doing a covid test but betting it's just a cold. I actually slept pretty well in spite of cough but getting tired of this. I took a "new" cold pill (one purchased yesterday and not 3 years expired) and I do think it has helped. For once I am grateful for DH stock up buying habits because we have a huge cache of kleenex. I am eating chicken broth and crackers twice a day and thats about it. (gee I sound like a man with a cold).
DD glad you survived the football game. Have a good day with your parents. I often have dreams of when our family was young and it's nice. Glad you do too. How is your brother holding up with his help duties?
Liz sorry the restaurant was full. At least you have a new car to ride around in! Looks like a good one. Hoping you are able to sleep. I think change of season has an impact.
We have been binge watching the second season of The Lincoln Lawyer. Its good. Watched the last of it last night. We watch way too much tv except I am usually playing iPad games and I seem to do better at picking up the house and doing chores if there is some kind of sound on. My hands are healing up pretty well but one finger is sort of numb still. Must email doctor.
Hmm covid test appears to be negative. yay

You finally don't have a to do list a mile long, and sleep eludes you. Rats. Hope it goes better tonight.
I had trouble falling asleep last night, but once I did, I slept well. I dreamed that somehow we got my parent's Florida house back and I was there with my parents. Lots of things were missing from the house, so my Mom and I were talking about shopping. I guess it makes sense my heart wants to go back there. The years my parents owned that house were probably our best as a family. They were as happy as they were ever going to be: retired, not anxious about money, health was good enough to allow them to do things they enjoy, my Mom looked like my Mom with pretty clothes, hair fixed, jewelry on, in her cute little house.
We'll go see them tomorrow after work for my Mom's birthday. Today I'll make the "hot dish" I'm bringing for supper, do some laundry and a bit of paperwork for a meeting I have tomorrow. All of it inside, where I'm warm!
Another week ends and a new one starts, and I'm another week closer to being retired!
Weight 119.4. The bus leaves soon (7:30), so this will be quick.
The car is an X3, not too small or big for me. It has parking assist on it so can park itself perpendicular or parallel. I haven't tried it yet but have watched a few videos on how to use it.
We went out last night to get dinner at a place we go to often and couldn't get a seat. We ended up back at home after a couple of drinks while trying to wait out the crowd and ate part of a frozen dinner. Yuck.
Sleep was elusive last night. Hopefully I am not starting a streak of insomnia.
Time to get going. Have a super Sunday!

The dress looks fine - that type is supposed to be short. You look fantastic!
