Hello Sunday! Bella's favorite day of the week. I think mine too today as I still have one more day off tomorrow! Yea!

DH and I did go out and I got my steak and baked potato! Had a salad too and fresh asparagus! DH wasn't interested in his so I ate his portion too. It was steamed perfectly with no sauces on it. Delish! I made a good size salad and dared to use real salad dressing. But guess what? I could only eat half my steak and half my baked potato. So weird. Oh I had one light beer too. Later I had 1, yes I know this is difficult to fathom, but just1 Godiva truffle from the bag I bought DH and a cup of decaf. Miracles do still happen! Weight was up just a mere 2/10ths of a pound. I can't remember the last time I ate out and did so well. Who is this woman?

It was a good day yesterday. DH and I talked about our daughter. We don't have a lot of time to chat during the week. He is at work usually by the time I get home and I am asleep when he gets home. We are like strangers passing in the night, on the road, just challenging to find time to talk even by phone. Turns out he talked to Erin on Tuesday and it wasn't a "good" conversation. She's up to her old tricks and letting her colors show to her dad and DH is livid. I've gone into the details before, commented about it on yesterday's journal too. It's really a good thing in the long run. I've known all along she was working us. It puts us back on the same page. I guess the conversation got rather ugly and I'm sad to see DH so dissappointed but it facilitated the sincerest apology and acknowledgement that he made a mistake that I've heard since I met him nearly 27 years ago. Strangely it made me feel lighter. We are still "on the hook" for her rent for 3 months but at least we are on the same page, more or less, at least in the same chapter, with Erin. If this young woman (nearly 34 years old) is going to change it is going to be up to her.

Weather wise we had rain and snow yesterday. The forecast includes a weather advisory for this afternoon. They are predicting lots of snow. We shall see. We have no where we must go today so snow on! I can see the trees whipping in the wind outside. It's good I'm indoors.

I will get some exercise in today. Not sure what else I'll do. There is no lack of projects around here, cleaning to be done, so I will wait to see what strikes me first and go from there. Oh yes, taxes. I imagine I could begin to organize my tax info. That would be useful. I always am full of dread when it comes to taxes. Especially this year when our "surplus" is paying rent for an apartment we don't live in. Hmmmm....

Time for another cup of Java and on into my day! Grateful I am ...

For time with DH
Steak. Delicious steak!
Three days off in a row!
And as always, coffee, the madaboutmoose elixir!

Take care!

So sad that you DH daughter is so manipulative. At least you are both on the same page now. X

Lovely Sunday journal, Moose! Glad you had the lovely dinner out with hubby and had good food and conversation. You do sound lighter. :)

Congratulations on the meal - although I do lighten the reins on the 'real salad dressing' I find I like the fresh with a little balsamic just as much or more. Kids... meh, you know my experience with that so just know I'm singing in your choir of support. Yes, today is my favorite day of the week and you have me considering being closed tomorrow ... probably won't because it just wouldn't be the same. Sunday's are magical, aren't they?
