TWTW - the first one entirely in 2022

Friday I made turkey rice veggie soup during the workday and topped it off with parsley and a hint of lemon. There is nothing like soup made from homemade stock - you get an amazing depth of flavor and there is less food waste. For this I used the Thanksgiving turkey that I stored in the freezer. After dinner I baked a cake to use up pantry items and read. I fell asleep on the couch, then walked dogs at 1 am and read until 4 am. MFD fell asleep on the couch upstairs. We are exciting people. 

Saturday After a sleep in, I had coffee and lounged and read before easing into the day with a shower and hydrating mask. Mae’s eye went haywire so I took her to the emergency vet. She has a deep corneal ulcer and we are doing drops every two hours around the clock until her re-check Thursday. Keep a good thought that it goes in the right direction please! I picked up a drive up order at Target on the way home and we took the best friend dogs out for a beach walk, leaving Mae with Billy as a babysitter, and had leftovers for dinner. I read another book at night and we watched The French Dispatch. 

Sunday I slept until 9 after being up much of the night for eye drops. I painted my nails (Essie merino cool and mochachino), set aside outside decor for MFD to take home, put chicken thighs in the crock with a jar of mustard garlic aoili something or other from Trader Joe's and lemon juice, picked up a bit up in the house, took the best friend dogs on a windy walk, had a fun plate for lunch and a lie down, and vegged much of the afternoon and evening with The Great British Baking Show. MFD left around 9 to do Code Blue overnight and for some work appointments this eek so it is just me and the animals until Thursday. 

I need more than two weekend days. 

The first Show Us Your Books of 2022 is tomorrow. 

TWTW - treat yoself

Friday night I tried to get Mae to the vet and could not due to SEPTA's asshole lateness. We went over to Freddy & Alex's and had pizza. No photographic evidence exists of any of this.

Saturday morning I succeeded in getting Mae to the vet, got my 40/40 in, and celebrated my birthday at Brother's with Dad & Carol. It was awesome!

I ran around like a loon after that - Target (forgot what I actually went for), home to pick stuff up, Sam's (total fucking mayhem) for a veggie tray, then on to celebrate Pop's 84th birthday with the family. Pop & grandchildren + one great grandchild:

Weekly food prep: baked chicken, roasted sweet potatoes and spinach for lunches; spinach and tomato pie for breakfast (for me and MFD); power breakfast muffins (the other  half are in the freezer); pork tenderloin, mashed sweet potatoes, and steamed asparagus for Sunday dinner. Other dinners are leftovers, baked chicken with brown rice and broccoli, and salmon. Snacks are greek yogurt, lara bars, berries, bananas, and cucumbers.

Sunday was glorious. I finished a book, laid around, put my clothes out for the week, laid clothes out to pack for next weekend. We also walked the dogs.

Other weekend things:
-Got my 40 of exercise in all three days. That's 19 straight days for me!
-Online shopping. Birthday month treat yo'self.
-Nails. They were painted OPI California Raspberry. And I got super cute mini nail polishes as part of my birthday gift from Dad & Carol that I can't wait to use.
