Friday the 10th
The first thing I did today, the 10th, was to message my primary doctor to refill my prescription on the 11th that needs a message every month before it can be refilled. It really doesn’t take that much time to get it done. The 11th is on a Saturday. Lewis Drug is open until three on Saturdays. The prescription cannot be refilled on the 10th, it is quite fussy about the coverage that I have. It can be requested after the 11th but not one day sooner. I do have the prescription covered if I need to go until Monday to pick it up. It’s called covering your bases.
Dennis spent the forenoon in his recliner. He had a headache and best to acknowledge it as he doesn’t get a headache often.
I went about getting everything together for a chicken Rueben oven meal. I had taken the chicken tenderloins out of the freezer last night in preparation. I thought I was being smart by purchasing a small container of poultry seasoning that I was sure had a shaker cover. Not. When I was going to pull off the little round sealer of the container, I pulled off the barest of the sealer, so I could still use it as a shaker rather than having the entire container’s contents exposed. The seasoning does add flavor but can also add way too much if not careful. I strained the sauerkraut through a thin dish towel to get the kraut as dry as possible. There is no way the chicken or the kraut will be dry patted dry enough to avoid a bit of juice when a totally dry scoop is wanted when the dish is table ready. I had just enough of the 1,000 Island dressing to cover the kraut. I poked holes through the kraut with the handle of my wooden spoon to incorporate some of the dressing down onto the cubed chicken.
In the past I had mentioned that a piece of fabric I had was just barely large enough for a new pattern I wanted to stitch. I had already sewn on some matching fabric to use as a mat on each side. Top and bottom would not be a problem. Today was the rest of the story. I started on the upper left hand side of my fabric. My goal was to see how I would come out on the far upper right hand side. Breathe. Yup! I have met my challenge. I have a consistent right hand margin from top to bottom. I will be using two strands of floss over one stitch. The fabric mat along both sides of the design is what Carrie had helped me choose to go with the floss. By the way, on the left side of this stitching fabric I have the huge amount of two extra stitches. Grammie, Grammie. I can and will work with this. After all . . . we do what we can on what we have to work with.
It’s time to get my oven pre-heating for supper.
With that I will take my leave.
