Doing well, doing well. Except for a huge welt/hive right below my right eye (1) making it hard to see and (2) necessitating benadryl which is now making me kinda sleepy. I’ve checked in with some contacts and already have a coffee date for tomorrow, drinks on Wednesday. I made a pile of appointments for before our insurance lapses. I walked the big boy to his first day of summer camp, and will walk to pick him up. Quite possibly, my biggest accomplishment is my meaningful, targeted to do list, focused on doing the right things first. Like, for example, meal planning!

I did this again for the first time in months and months, 3 weeks ago with the big P. By involving him in the plan, he tried all sorts of new foods willingly, like pasta salad. He’s always liked ethnic food, but getting him to try new things has waned since he turned 4 or so. He’s not here for me to plan right now, but maybe next weekend.

Monday:  Already in the slow cooker, anticipating a medicine-induced nap, is slow cooker tortilla soup, one of our family’s favorites. I used fresh corn leftover from last night’s dinner.

Tuesday: Grandma Fran’s porcupine meatballs, garlic bread & steamed brocolli. I have two lbs of ground turkey in refrigerator I need to use this week. This will make dinner and some awesome lunch leftovers for me.

Wednesday: Spinach ravioli, some veggie side. I’m going to hit the conventional grocery store on double coupon day, so I’ll grab something fresh to add to the ravioli.

Thursday: Pecan maple chicken and roasted potatoes. This was a recipe P selected that I haven’t had time to make yet. I’m excited to try it.

Friday: Leftovers.

Saturday: Both of my brothers will be in town, a rare treat, so I’m sure we’ll be grilling or splitting some take out.
