I think it’s going to stay rainy all day. I caught Roxie watching raindrops!
So…no outside walk…we will be inside all day. We need something yummy yet simple for dinner…a one pan something or other…so I have settled on this.
It’s a chickeny mushroomy creamy pasta Florentine dish from The Recipe Critic. Everything cooks in one pan…even the pasta! Perfect for a rainy Monday.
Nothing much happened over the week end…lots of football…some games and puzzles and books. I admit to being a little depressed…Lucy’s health is still precarious, I am still not ready to go out at night or travel, my hair still feels really short and awful and my Nov. 1st oncology appointment now seems closer and closer. I have to have a good report and sometimes I am just scared…scared about everything. I seem to be watching everyone else live their lives. My sister is off to Spain and a cruise for a month…and I am afraid to spend a night at the beach because my hair is so awful. I don’t know how to fix me because maybe I am not fixable…yet. Sigh!
Enough…
Books…
Usually when I get in one of these moods it’s time for fantasy…so I am reading this…
It’s intense and vivid and a good vs bad story…so I am really into it. Jules tries to save her father so she goes to work at the kingdom where time is tied to blood and iron and earning time or giving it up. Again…it’s the kind of fantasy that’s easy to lose yourself in.
I am just taking one book at a time so I don’t know what I will read after this one.
Wordpress is making me a little crazy today…I can’t add any more photos to this post…my media thing has disappeared…and every time I comment I have to sign in for my own comments, I still have to add some widgets and I don’t think I am linked to Goodreads, either, but I am starting not to care. Blogsy was so easy I am so mad at its founder who literally left everyone “high and dry”…sigh!
Hugs,
from Patty who is in a lousy mood!

It hasn’t rained her in weeks and now it’s supposed to rain all week. We were able to get our walk in but it was muggy.
I don’t blame you for being nervous about your appointment but you need to be living life to its fullest. I’m sure you’re gorgeous even with your short hair. Half of beauty is attitude and I know you can rock that hair like no one else could.

I know…I wasn’t in a good mood for a while but after a work out I feel better!

What she said! Yes, you just need to say some inspirational things to yourself while looking in the mirror, and realize that you are beautiful in your new version, too.
Sorry that you are not feeling WP yet…maybe it’s that app. I don’t know how it works, so I can’t really advise you, as I do everything on a laptop. That makes it easy for me, as I can go to other sites and grab their links.
Rainy Days and Mondays….make me blue. That’s when I started that blog, as I needed a new attitude about Mondays.
That dinner looks delicious!

I think we are going to be back in the mid 80’s tomorrow! It is incredibly humid outside, too! Thank you!

The pasta dish looks yummy. I have made a few pasta dishes that cook all in the same pot, without precooking the pasta but it always comes out a little gummy. Maybe that’s because I have to use GF pasta but I am not a fan of that method.

I have had good luck with this method and regular pasta…so far! But I always worry about the pasta being weird.

Ah Patty, even though I endorse everything the others said I understand its not easy. Sending some hugs. Fantasy sounds like a good choice of reading.

I think, Kathryn, right now it is the perfect choice…and I simply cannot put Everless down.

I have tried adding a Goodreads and a Bloglovin’ widget to my WP but they’re not compatible. So I gave up on that. A rainy day sounds cozy; we’re waiting for the rain to come back, but it’ll be a while as we’re still low 80’s. I love that Everless cover. It is dynamic.

So…no wonder I am having so much trouble! I think you would love Everless! I opened it on a whim and now can’t put it down.
