Miss Her Already

I had thought about going to a breakfast joint down the road. Linda had to put in some work so I opted for sammitches for all. We left for the airport at 11:15 or so. Doug was working and I had taken the day, so we enjoyed some time without anyone else. 

It takes a lifetime to get to the airport. Probably my only regret about where we bought our house, but to be honest, the highway goes fast. The speed limit is 70 so of course everyone is doing 80+. We were there in no time, and I headed back west. 

I was sad driving away. Looking forward to the next togetherness.

The plan for the day was to go to the gym since I wasn't working and if I was already out in the world, why the hell not. The gym was good, just did the treadmill and put in a solid and fast half hour with actual jogging to things while watching a cooking show with food that I wanted to eat. Lin texted me right when I finished my treadmill time to say she landed. Perfect timing. 

It was 3pm, and I realized damn - I'm hungry. It had been a long time since brekkie sammitches. I was going to go to Target but realized I could just get everything I needed at Aldi so I went on the way home. 

Dinner was an important moment. Doug had made really good turkey stock and it was in the fridge. Not the freezer. I knew if that didn't get turned into soup, it was going to have to be turned into garbage. Usually, 7 days from Thanksgiving is when you pitch your leftovers, but I felt confident - our fridge keeps everything super cold to the point where things are sometimes frozen (like the carrots in the drawer). 

I had chopped up the turkey before we went to Richmond, froze it, and got everything out to make soup as soon as I got home. I thought I had a bag of mixed veggies in the freezer but it was mostly broccoli and watercress, more of an asian meal mix than a soup mix. So I used some noodles, mushrooms, green onions, and the rest of the parsley we had in the fridge that by a miracle was still good (see the super cold fridge fact above). 

Everything came together really nicely, and I'd gotten some ciabatta sandwich bread at Aldi to make into nice lil' planks of garlic bread. 

And that's how I spent my day off. I thought about finishing the bookshelf, but my umpfh was gone for the day. 

No word from John yet on if the's been moved to the nursing facility. I'll touch base with him tomorrow. No pic today. Too busy driving!
