HAPPY HOMEMAKER MONDAY with MENU PLANS week 12 of 2022

Doing Happy Homemaker Monday so extensively helps keep me on track as it summarizes the past week and lays out a fairly concise plan for this week. Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up
with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

I hope you are all doing better than I am this morning. The weather has been so unpredictable and I know that’s why I now have a sore throat and ear ache 🙁 It started Saturday afternoon as a sinus headache, but by the time I woke up Sunday it was full blown misery. I immediately started on Theraflu and Emergen-C along with a hot shower and felt better for awhile. I stayed in yesterday and will again today, but I think I caught it in time.

Saturday night’s low was 29° and tomorrow’s high is supposed to be 75° for a single day before it drops back into the 40’s for the rest of the week… no wonder I’m sick!

So today is a yoga pants day! 😀 And I’m not complaining about that.

Hot water and peach yogurt.

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS
  • LAUNDRY & CLEANING Despite not feeling well, I was able to get the laundry done and will do a deep clean on the kitchen and vacuum in a few days when I feel more energetic.
  • GROCERIES & ERRANDS Fortunately I don’t need much until later in the week so won’t worry about any of this until I feel better. Honestly, I’m back to the point of trying to stay completely home. They have lifted the mask mandates here and I’ve heard they’re not even counting COVID cases because they don’t think it matters so I’m afraid that there might be an issue in the next couple weeks and am laying low to avoid it with being immunocompromised 🙁
  • PAPERWORK, PHONE CALLS & PROJECTS I have a list to accomplish, but will wait until my throat and voice are better.
  • RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING I’m good through the end of the month, but am sorting through for some spring like recipes in April.

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV
  • NETFLIX This has been our channel of choice this past week as we are not basketball fans and March Madness has taken over. We watched the sweetest movie, Rescued by Ruby and the Adam Project with Ryan Reynolds – he’s so funny in a sarcastic way 😀 We also watched Against the Ice which was quite good and then we finished with The Good Cop starring Tony Danza, but are sorry it only made one season 🙁
  • CABLE Spring Baking Championships, Tournament of Champions, Junior Masterchef – I absolutely adore the kids! I have a couple Hallmark movies to finish catching up on and FIXER UPPER episodes

I’m reading Return to Sender by Jennifer Peel

Saturday before I started feeling poorly there was a small break in the rain that we thought was going to last longer so we took a drive, but the rain that had ended and turned to pure sunshine returned with a vengeance. I did get a few good shots though. We even found a few things we’d never seen before.

Oh my friend, this weather is no joke. I don’t understand the changes in temperature from one day to the other, the same happens here by us. 80 one day, and then 40 the next. How?

The allergies are keeping me miserable, along with the post nasal drip and sinus, it’s just never ending. I’m over it. I sure hope you start feeling better with your strep throat, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that.

I am staying indoors today, there’s high winds and that just makes my allergy induced asthma kick up. Ugh!!!

Hope you have a blessed week!

Thank you! I only went to urgent care yesterday because I had waited it out as long as I could and knew I was at the point of needing medication. Today is still miserable, but not as bad as it would have been had it already traveled to my lungs, which are my seriously weak point from the SLE. Today is supposed to be gorgeous eventually and if it is I will go out in the yard and enjoy baking in the warmth, but so far despite their promises it’s not looking that way. We’re only at 40 and socked in with fog so we’ll see 😀

Hi Sweetie!
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. That weather is absolutely crazy and I wouldn’t feel well either! That would play with my allergies and sinuses something wicked. Feel better soon and keep doing whatever you need to in order to stay well. Things have lifted a lot here too – but I think they’re still tracking cases and there are still some areas requiring masks. And many servers in restaurants still wear them.
I want to see the Adam Project. Love Ryan Reynolds! Maybe a movie with Matt next week. Annie wanted to see the new Batman in the theaters last week. Dark movie but still pretty good.
Love your inspirations as always. Have a blessed rest of your week! xo

Well, it got worse as the morning wore on and I ended up in urgent care. Fortunately, doctor said I timed it well and I was in and out quickly. Unfortunately, it was with a strep throat diagnoses and 2 prescriptions for the next 10 days 🙁 along with the orders to take it easy which based on my current energy level won’t be hard to do! Every now and then my butt gets kicked and told to slow down. I have learned to listen 😀

If you love Ryan Reynolds you’ll enjoy the Adam Project – it was a fun and his typical “dead Pool” sarcastic attitude 😀

I hope youo have a great week too and that you’re spring weather keeps happening as we move forward.

Sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well! I wondered about that Adam Project movie, maybe I’ll give it a chance today. Hope you feel better and have a wonderful week!
