Happy Wednesday Everyone! day 3 of rainy weather and the temperatures are on the warmer side. Tomorrow we will plunge right back into the cold. At least we're getting rain and not snow.
Today I'm just going to relax. I need to clear my head and stop driving myself crazy about Christmas.
I'd like to make a few phone calls today to friends I won't see for the holidays.
OF course I always have a book handy and my crocheting next to my chair. The book I'm reading is good but it's a bit on the morbid side (a serial killer type mystery). So, I can't read too much of it at one time or else it stays with me. Crocheting I can do while I catch up on some tv shows that I've fallen behind on.
Tonight is pasta night and I just have to decide if I want to make meatballs or air fry up some breaded eggplant cutlets to go with spaghetti.
That's my plans for today...what are you up to?

Well currently am making an Impossible Pumpkin pies. The batter tasted really good so I think the pie will be delish, I just saw something in my smart news for something like a 14 hour crochet class for 1.49. I am crap with my hands..but once crocheted a daisy chain. I might check it out.

Is the crocheting class online or in person?$1.49 seems like a great price if you're interested.
Hope your pie comes out delish!!

I haven't had egg noodles in quite a while. I do like them but never think of making them.

My plan is to run the dishwasher. Other than that, I don't really have much in the way of plans. We're expecting rain.

@Marilynda1225 We got some, but nothing too serious we couldn't handle.

I had a doctor appointment this morning, and then had to stop at a couple of pharmacies. Unfortunately, I ended up with a migraine so my visit to my dad afterward was very short. But the migraine is gone now, and I’m thankful.
Did you have the meatballs or the eggplant?

I always feel so bad when you get those migraines but glad it didn't last too long. At least you were able to squeeze in a visit with your dad.
We had the eggplant. It was just easier than making meatballs

I am a Crime Patrol fan and so I get to see a lot of the serial killing thing.

I began working at 7, but noticed immediately that we were not busy at all.
I checked the workflow, and put my name in for volunteer time off, and by 9 I was finished.
I had texted my hubs, and he and the girls came by and picked me up on the way to playgroup.
I spent a wonderful day together with them.
Of course, none of the dusting, vacuum cleaning nor mopping got done, because I do those chores on my breaks and lunch and after work, and I wasn't here to do it. But I did other things, and they are much more memorable.

Now that sounds like a great day and that you unexpectedly got to spend time with the girls. Heck, dusting and vacuuming can certainly wait.

@Marilynda1225 True but some are more 'me' than others.

i was talking to my friend yesterday and she told me how she can't read such books because it "stays with her". crocheting sounds like a good idea. i'm glad you'll spend time the way you like.
and for dinner - i'd go with what's easier to make.i hope you enjoy your "me day"

This book is exceptionally sinister so I have to read it in spurts. It's a really good mystery though
I went with the easier to make dinner and made the eggplant

We've had three rainy days in a row so I'm happy to see the sun this morning.

Sounds like a good day! I started the day with a two-hour nature walk. Purchased breakfast for a change instead of making it. I plan to lunch on leftovers. I plan to complete a few blog posts and get my new blog going. I also want to fit in a few sweaty workouts and an hour or two of music. Dinner would be rotis and egg and paneer burji. Then early to bed so that I can rise early tomorrow.

I finally started on the Christmas cards. I'd normally have them in the mail already. I will try and finish them up today. Have a good day.
