Lol, Lynn, I did the same thing when I saw snakehead! I mean, I knew
@easyas123 was an adventurous eater (more so than the rest of us seem to be, anyway) but SNAKE??
Then just as you guys were explaining it I asked DH (whose hobby is fishing) if he knew what it was and he did, saying, like what easy said above, it came to us from Africa and got dumped in ponds and such and they’ve taken over, not in a good way, I guess. It’s supposed to be a vicous fish, too? Hmm. Hope it was tasty! Strawberry shortcake sounds good, too.
We had some London Broil marinating but DH didn‘t feel like cooking tonight so we had a little bit of leftover Chinese food that he and DD had gotten while I was at work. It’s cute, there’s a place they like to go (that I like, too - especially this one waiter we love - but there’s a place I like better when I’m around) so they’ll often go while I’m at work, like a daughter/Dad date night. I like that they do that. They always had a close relationship. From the time the kids were little, DH had them a lot by himself while I was working, so they always had their outings they used to do together (including DS, and sometimes my mother) when I wasn’t home and so I could get some rest and sleep, etc.
Tonight DH, DS and I commiserated about our jobs, taking turns talking about how frustrating things have become today. DS has been training someone who’s been a challenge, and has to go in extra this Sunday to train someone else, too.
@easy DS works in areas like your SIL, it’s how he got kicked in the head last month.
The stories really are almost unbelievable, but sadly, they’re not. We see them, too. I had a really interesting case this week. We are really all so blessed when we have our health - including our mental health!
I made it to the bank today and met a new friend, lol. Just hit it off w the person I was working with, it was my first time in this bank. I‘d been trying to figure out what to do with a little inheritance I’d received, and since CD rates have gone up, I decided to put it there. Got a good rate, 5%, with compounded interest, so that felt like an accomplishment. This guy was super knowledgable about financial stuff so I’m sure I’ll be working more with him as we navigate these pre- retirement next few yrs. I just kept thinking today was Saturday, so it was weird when I realized it was only Friday!
DH and DS painted half of the floor today downstairs so guess what? Carpet tiles go in tomorrow! At least on half the floor, lol. We still have stuff in the other half we have to sort through and once all the tile is down, they’ll move what’s left over to the other side to get the other half done. That’s not how I’d do it (I’d prefer an empty room to work with), but that’s how DH does things, so I have to deal with it, lol. Tomorrow (when I recover from my shifts, hopefully) I’m going to tackle the cabinets in the bathroom, cleaning them out and reorganizing, then we’ll paint them and put the new handles on the doors. I was thinking DS was off all weekend but it’s actually his weekend to work, so that stinks, but what can you do. We will still keep moving forward and hopefully it will be finished in the next couple of weeks.
Well, going to watch a little TV tonight. AC is on so I have a blanket on and I may not be awake much longer, I’m tired. I hope everyone has a good rest of the evening!
Sunday is the annual Pride parade out here and my immediate neighborhood gets a ton of extra people for that, and streets are closed. The elementary school across the street from us is always where the police park. Prayers all goes peacefully for all who participate and, of course, us residents, to stay home, too. Oh! When dad went to the library this afternoon to pick up 
and a
DVD (what cuter way to try our new DVD player)?, he found out that the library mask mandate is over! What fun it will be for me one morning when the branch closest to us opens early and I can go inside very briefly with dad! All good here. Wishing all of you dear 
Snowysmom and prayers next week at work will go a whole lot better for you, my friend! Please do extra enjoy a Hallmark movie today!
sound warm and tasty, Lynn, enjoy my friend.
Lynn but don't work too hard please!
for Jack and of course always for dear you, too! Thank you always also for all you do for God through your church that virtually has become my church, too 
to have brought to Pastor Louise as an early birthday and in celebration of the Food Pantry director who is being honored after service tomorrow. She's also going to bring a picture that she had taken and printed out of dad and I on my birthday. Always a blessing to get to see her. I just got in the mail an official invitation to Sue's 100th birthday celebration. I'll be emailing her son in response saying that while as of now dad and I don't feel comfortable attending we absolutely intend to bring Sue a gift on her actual birthday a few days later. Wow to 100 years old! All of you really would love her. She's definitely an inspiration.
with love to all!
