Fridays come fast and the weekends go faster!
Since my weekend plans changed, I contacted Mary Jane, my cat-sitter, to let her know I wasn't traveling but I still wanted to take her out to lunch. We met at a new restaurant that I've been wanting to try. I met her there right after work and we had the place nearly to ourselves since it was after the usual lunchtimes. The food was good (not great but good) and the service was also good. Clean, and a huge selection of food on the buffet. I would go again now and then.
I sure didn't need any supper that night! My neighbor, Jill, found out I wasn't traveling so she invited me to join them for dinner on Saturday evening. Judy and Tim came too so it was not only delicious, but the company was great too. (Jill and Judy are sisters.) Jill made a delicious chicken & broccoli casserole, potatoes, carrots, and a great salad. Dessert was pie and ice cream. I took them some freshly made Italian Pizzells. I hadn't made any since before Christmas 2020. They turned out good, I think.
Sunday brought a really strong rainstorm early. With the rain came a cold front. South of us saw tornadoes and there was some damage to homes in the Ft. Meyers area. I forced myself out of bed (considered staying there!) and got ready for Sunday school and church. Unfortunately, there are quite a few people out with covid again. There were only seven of us in Sunday school and only 47 at church. Half of our Praise Team are home, sick, and I think others did what I almost did and just stayed home in bed, listening to the rain.
After church, I stopped at Lakeside Village and went to Bed Bath & Beyond for a few things. I had a gift card that needed to be spent. 😉 I got a new dish drainer for my sink and new toilet brushes for both bathrooms (the old ones were rusty). I also wanted a new blanket for the guest room bed but BB&B doesn't carry plain old blankets (!!!) so I ordered one from Amazon when I got home.
I had some bell peppers to use so cooked them up with some onion, potatoes, cabbage, and smoked sausage for my dinner. I added some Creole seasoning to give it a little kick. I have enough for two more meals. Yum!
I did get a bit more work done in the den (Joe's office) but have decided I need a cupboard to store office supplies in. Lots of shredding to do as well. I may take it to the UPS store and pay to have them shred. There is a lot of it. One day and one thing at a time.
I will be at work alone today. It's a paid holiday for all the guys. I have a project to work on so will be pleasantly busy. We have weekend hog hunts coming up and we need 'badges' for the hunters with the dates, etc. My boss chose bright orange paper for the badges and they will need to be laminated and cut to size. I put music on when I am there alone. The time will go fast. I plan to see Helen after work and I have an appointment with my cardiologist at 3:00 (just my annual with him - had the echo last week). If I have time, after I see Helen, I may pop into Lowes to peek at their cabinets or shelves. Still not sure what I need to do but the office supplies need to go somewhere if I turn the desk into my sewing/craft desk. No hurry.
