Greetings all
The atmospheric river is on the way. Light rain started. I went to the gym which was almost busy and between the time I arrived and the time I left, the wind really picked up. Like a lot. I met a woman at the gym who has the same hand disease I do - Dupuytrens disease. Would have talked to her more but she was having personal training. Maybe a new friend sometime. Seemed like the time went faster when talking to someone. The fishing channel was not quite mesmerizing.
Well Liz thats sad about the suffering wife of alcoholic. There are reasons she should know about the philandering (medical) but who wants to be the one to tell her and is it right or kind? Who knows. But enjoy the cowboy party!
Beef stroganoff Paula. Sounds great! Comfort food on a cold night.
DD adventures in salmon!! Food cooked by someone else is always best. And leftover salmon makes a good salad with mayo. Wishing you speed on the reports and such and a cozy evening with the dark sky.
I didn't really eat dinner last night. Had a 4pm snack of tuna and crackers and just did not feel like eating. So the mushroom chicken remains for tonight. Maybe needs pasta for comfort factor.
So our gallery membership meeting has been canceled due to the weather. Power may already be out up there. It's good because there was nothing that important to do and I avoided my conflict of how to vote on a person who is a good artist but I don't like personally. Maybe she will go away.
I am hoping we keep power. Our neighborhood has buried cable but beyond the subdivision there are old fashioned lines. Trees blowing them down becomes the issue. I will think about it later.
Another meeting in the morning and DH goes to cardiologist. More rain.

Home from Santa Fe! Freezing there, but we had fun. I like it there. Yesterday, I had 17,000 steps. Kirby had a great time at sleep away camp according to his report card. I had them give him a bath so he's squeaky clean.
I found a ceramic totem pole there by a folk artist that I think I'm going to get. It absolutely goes in the category of ridiculous purchases, but it's so cool. They actually will bring it to me and set it up. Crazy, I know! But each figure has at least 4 pieces and there is a very specific way they fit together... It's 95" tall, which is great because of my high ceilings.
She's really renowned in the folk art world and they have delivered her totems as far away as Switzerland. So whimsical! It's totally going to have to go behind a fence to keep Kirby away.
Anyway, now I have 2 days before my next set of houseguests come in. I will need a month to recover...
Onto laundry for me. Take care all!
If I were to guess she is like your BFF. Really lovely woman in all ways - she doesn't deserve it, but we all make choices for our own internal reasons.

I love beef stroganoff. Good comfort food.

If you like salmon normally and want a few recipes, let me know! I make salmon quite a bit!

Liz, it's possible the wife doesn't want to know. My BFFs husband was a cheat, and it was obvious he was cheating, but she was in denial. She found a picture of what turned out to be a mistress, unpacking a suitcase in a hotel room. Her husband told her he had loaned his camera to her. And she decided to believe him. Coincidentally, he had been away, alone, on a self care weekend. Hmmm. But I don't think that's uncommon. If you're not ready to leave or be done with it, its self protective. Or maybe she does know, and lives with it. It's a hard deal to make with yourself, but some people do it. Again, so thankful for my DH.
Beef Stroganoff! OMG, that sounds so good. I haven't made that in such a long time.
It's so dark here! Cloud cover, rain, and the sun is already so low in the horizon, not much natural light today. My working from home day is going great! I'm a report producing machine. And also doing laundry. I washed all the blankets, sheets and duvet cover for our bed. I'll get to the two guest beds before Thanksgiving.
The salmon left a lot to be desired last night, but I ate as much as I could. Not sure what's heading my way tonight. I know its not beef stroganoff!
149.5, same.
Nothing really to report today. Grey weather day again, might get snow by Thursday. DSD is getting it ND today, so I expect DD will be getting some as well.
We were supposed to have a lunch date but the rainy weather kept us inside. Having a Fairlife for lunch!
Still slowly selling scrapbook stuff. Basement also slowly getting organized.
Tonight I'm making beef stroganoff for dinner. One of my favorites as a kid! It is kinda putzy to make but tastes good. I'll freeze a good bit of it for a future meal!

Oh, DD ... you are SOOOO going to love retirement. Just think of everything new you can learn and everything old you can now understand more fully. We are so fortunate to have these later years to enjoy our changing perspectives and what they offer us.

Thank you, Paula and your DH. I really did inherit some great genes, although the ones that matter most aren't the "looks younger" ones, but the ones that allow me at this advanced age to still be mobile, emotionally resilient, energetic, and curious. I thank my mother every day--and I do mean EVERY day!--for growing my body and everything in it.
Although I'm not a mother, I don't think mothers ever get enough credit. And of course my dad deserves some credit. ;-)

Peps, you get all the gold stars for what you accomplished. Those cabinet cleaning details are world-class.
