Plans for today (2025)

I have absolutely no patience or tolerance for those types of questions (they actually make me a bit angry!), nor do I have any desire for reminiscing - two things MrsT loves. :laugh:

Yeah, it's annoying as hell. If he would reminisce about pleasant stuff more often it wouldn't be as bad, but sometimes it's stuff I'd rather not think about, much less talk about. And as far as the future goes, well I just hope to be alive, healthy, still walking without assistance, and being able to drive.

…and I’ve managed to repair a wind chime today…and break a second one. :laugh:

It's been really windy here last night and this morning, but seems to have calmed down, for now. March winds and all that. The April showers came early, though.

Planning to not plan is planning! 🤣

I'm pretty good at planning for 10 minutes from now, although I have been known to get sidetracked even then. Oh and I'm good planning in advance with special occasions like a dinner party, but I try not to get too specific about the menu because it can vary. I might say "seafood" and leave it at that.

Gotcha, I've thought chicken and ended up with shrimp...

Exactly like him I'm guessing (in that respect)?

Yes, usually, for two reasons - first, once my tastebuds are told they’re getting something, they begin to anticipate that thing and don’t like surprise changes.

Second, once a decision is made, I don’t like it when people backtrack and start the process over again. That’s MrsT’s family all over. They can discuss as a family where to eat for three hours, pick a place, everyone agrees, and when it’s time to leave, someone will say, “So we’re sure about the chop house, riiiiight?” - and then it starts all over again.

Now, mind you, the changes still happen - Friday I was supposed to cook smoked sausage, potatoes, and cabbage, but at literally 5PM, MrsT said she wanted Mexican, so sausage got pushed back to Saturday, which we had earlier decided we’d be eating at a restaurant Saturday, but then, after she met with her clients yesterday and drove over to the bar and grille where I was passing the time drinking, she said, “Ohhhh, this looks nice, let’s just eat here,” so Friday’s sausage that had been pushed back to Saturday got pushed back again to today, which pushed back plans for St. Pat’s meal tonight to tomorrow, so I’ve been low-key gripey about everything for nearly three days now.

I'm sorry for laughing at you but it's funny, LOL. No my family isn't like MrsT's and no one would dare make a plan change that close to mealtime.

And I was so mad the other night when we weren't going to have lamb because I had spent some time making a nice marinade for it and it was too late upon discovery that the lamb was not good to find a replacement. If I would have had some leftover chicken or something in the refrigerator to reheat I would have been okay (still mad at wasted time and other ingredients, though).

Last night we had the lovely prosciutto wrapped asparagus with veggies, goat cheese and mozz cheese...honestly about 2 hours beforehand I was thinking I'd rather have something else...but I didn't dare change it that close to mealtime because I didn't want to hear the grumbling after.

Sausage keeps well for several days so it won't turn on you, thankfully. And it's rightfully so that St. Pat's meal actually be cooked tomorrow on 3/17 so there's that.

Mexican sounds kinda good, actually. We are supposed to have spag bol tonight though. I also don't feel like going anywhere and I have homemade pasta in the freezer and I took the sauce out to thaw yesterday, so that's just easier and I am feeling really lazy today. The only other recourse would be to have it called in and have DH go pick it up...ooooh Chinese takeout sounds really good too! :laugh: :laugh::laugh:

We’d upped it to today because I’m on-call tomorrow, and I’ll probably get called at some point in the middle of cooking, potentially ruining that. She also (usually) won’t drink on Mondays because it’s too close to her Big Medicine Day, but she’s let that slide before, so we’ll see.
