Good morning to you gals! Looks like we were chattier this year than last as we are already at #49 for the year!
We showed up at 9 on the dot and no one was there yet so we whipped right through and were done and out of the commissary before the crowds started coming in.
Susan: I looked back and saw I said memory instead of hard drive, duh. No my hard drive is almost filled up. We deleted stuff, cleaned the disc and only have 5.13 g so I think we are going to move pictures and all the tax programs for the last 4 years upstairs to Jack's external hard drive to save and we might go ahead and put pictures on discs and save them so I can just delete them off my computer all together. I am terrible about getting the photos processed. I have a great scrapbook for our Vegas trip that I bought in Vegas several years ago and it is still in the package in the bag I brought it home in. I found these yummy Michelina Light snacks that are 4 pt a serving or 6 pt whole box. They are like the little "pillows" you can buy from Chun King that are little egg rolls only these are either buffalo chicken or pepperoni pizza. I love hot wings and have to stay away from them since being on WW as they are horribly fatty, but I can enjoy them with these snacks. They are really good and I want to get some ff bleu cheese if such a thing exists to dip when I crave a fattening snack. I am making chicken fricassee tonight. I am going to use skinless thighs tonight and see how it tastes, but will switch to skinless breasts if I feel that dark meat doesn't really add that much to the dish and save a pt or two. There are tons of recipes for fricassee and since I found out it is basically chicken stew, I am going to play with my own version and instead of potatos, rice or noodles I think I may put some little dumplings in made with egg beaters and ff milk.
Jean: I imagine her mil will check in on Marty since they live across the street. He definitely doesn't do well at the kennel. He doesn't eat at all and last time they kenneled him lost 10 lbs. Poor little guy was skin and bones when he came home. That's why they have asked us to keep him a couple times. I may ask them to keep Fortune when we go to Disney next year as it will be school time so they won't have travel plans. Fortune is well behaved except for the getting on the bed business and barking when they don't get out of bed and put him up on it. I am working with him and he will jump with encouragement, but only if he has room on the bed itself to land and if the room isn't totally dark. I have to turn on the tv in the middle of the night to get him back up in bed so I wonder if he is having trouble seeing as he gets older.
Man we were miffed yesterday about flu shots. We went to a Walgreens clinic not real far, but not close to the house either. It was around noon and they close 1:30 to 2:30 for their lunch. They had 2 patients in the rooms and five on the list, 4 were flu shots, so she said to sign in and come back at 2:15 then we would be first in line. We went and got Jack's hair cut then just went back home for an hour and were back right at 2:15 like they said and she wasn't going to be back until after 3. I was irked since it is a drive to come back and forth and then on top of that, she had 3 people ahead of us stil so we would have had to wait until 3:30 to get the darn thing. Jack was mad and stormed out so no shots. I am going to another one, out by Kelly tomorrow or the next day and get mine as they take Tricare now and we won't have to pay for the shots. Jack is going to wait until his dr appt the 12th and see if per chance they get more back in, but I doubt it. I can't see paying $25 apiece if we don't have too and that is what it would cost to go to Kroger or to the regular Walgreens. I emailed Walgreen's clinic comment line and gave them a piece of my mind, which does no good, but I wanted them to know how I felt. It wasn't waiting if it were purely patients ahead of you, it was being told to come back at a certain time then they were still gone when you showed up. I also said that I thought during flu shot season they should have their dr/nurse practitioner AND a nurse available. The nurse could do the shots and the dr see the sick people and they could get through a lot faster that way and people who needed just a shot wouldn't have to wait forwever.
Well, I need to do morning chores and get some breakfast in me. Have a nice Sunday all.
