Monday menus #71

Did I need more jewelry? No.
But also, did I buy myself a Mother's Day gift of jewelry? Yes.
I had been looking for small-ish two tone real gold hoop earrings for every day wear and I found them on Ebay, so I dropped those right into my cart, sang "Happy Mother's Day to Me", and I do not feel one bit guilty.  I also ordered: rug pads for the two rugs I brought home from Mom's house, a cute sleeveless dress from Kohl's, a garden hose holder and a Google speaker outlet mount from Lowe's, and replacement ink cartridges for my printer.  I'm actually making thoughtful purchases, not just shopping for the heck of it!

Monday - kitchen closed
Tuesday - Vietnamese Chicken, stir fry veggies {working 830p-1a}
Wednesday - Beef Sloppy Joes on toast (use up the old bread), chopped salad {on-call}
Thursday - Skillet Tilapia, peppers and onion, skillet potatoes {payday}
Friday - Turkey Pesto Meatballs (never made these a couple menus ago), zucchini {pick up Lowe's order, Zoom meet with dietician*}
Saturday and Sunday - kitchen closed

Yay for new earrings! I’m also working with a dietitian right now. It’s been very helpful!

Good for you! Pretty things to enjoy daily is a perfect treat. I bought myself a pair of Duluth Trading co. gardener's overalls. I also bought a new perennial to plant by the bird bath. I find great joy in occasionally treating myself, if not you, then who? Have a wonderful week.
