What A Mess!

Not only is the Brent Spence bridge closed (for who knows how long after a major fire yesterday) but now the Suspension bridge is closed because of too many assholes in semis going over. What a disaster! Well, maybe this will be the push to finally get on building a new bridge. 

Boo loves the new shower. He likes to go in and drink the water. He's a kook. I've caught him in there twice now. I love that boy. He's currently barking at me because he wants to sit in my lap. Makes it hard to type my post but I'm not complaining. 

Update on tonight's dinner with Jim's family: He called and cancelled. After hearing how many people were going to be there, Jim just wasn't feeling it. These aren't people we know (boyfriends and girlfriends of nieces and nephews) so who knows where they've been. However, Fritz extended his stay until Monday so we can at least go out to dinner with him this weekend. Works for me. 

Jim's appointment with the radiation oncologist is today which is why my blog is late this morning (I took the day off and slept in a bit). My plans before heading down to KY is to do some yoga, elliptical, walk the boys, mulch the leaves (hopefully for the last time) and do some work for school. I'm not sure when I'll be able to do the leaves because we got a pretty good frost last night...maybe after lunch. We'll see. 

I made a DEEEEELICIOUS dinner last night! Shrimp Fettuccine with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce. So easy and yum and it's not too terribly fattening. (I used FF half and half and whole wheat linguini rather than fettuccine.) The sauce is just a jar of roasted red peppers blended with an immersion blender and then I added a bit of vodka to it as it cooked down and finished it off with some basil. So good. Highly recommended...it's on my WW board on Pinterest if you're interested. 

Tonight will be a Thai inspired pork dish. 

In other news, Maggie is being a pain in my ass right now. Here's the problem, she doesn't listen. I told her earlier in the week that I would be taking the day off today. Which means, the expectation is that I sleep in and post a little later than usual. So what happens? At 6:24 I get a text saying, "Blog?" My response? "Dummy I'm not going to school today so I slept in. It'll be up in a bit." Then 21 minutes later, I get "When can I expect the next installment?" Damn her! And damn my computer that's acting like an asshole! It's so slow this morning. 

Okay well, time to get my yoga on. I need it too...I'm back to having daily stress headaches. I think I need a little loosening up and namaste if you know what I mean. 

Happy Thursday! Stay healthy, away from crowds, masked and sanitized. Later!
