Happy Monday Everyone!
We have a mix of sun and clouds today and the temperatures have gotten cooler. Maybe we'll get some Fall weather afterall. I have my sliding door open and it feels nice to get some fresh air into the house.
I don't have any big plans for today but I do have some housework that needs to get done along with laundry that seems to be a daily chore. Even though there's only two of us living here the laundry never seems to end.
I'm still between books and it's weird that I haven't picked a book to read.
I haven't even had breakfast yet and I'm already thinking that I'll make baked pork chops for dinner with baked sweet potatoes and a vegetable (yet to be determined). Do you plan dinner early in the day or do you just worry about it when the time comes? I really try to make a menu for the week so I know what I'm cooking with a plan B in mind in case things change. Lately I've been very lackadaisical when it comes to meal planning.
So that's what's happening in my boring little part of the myLot world.

@Marilynda1225 It's a bit boring to make the plan, but I am relaxed all the week not thinking what I have to do for lunch and supper.

That's what I try to do too but haven't been on the ball lately. I hate when I don't have a plan

I can't wait until it is cool enough to leave open windows and doors to get fresh air. I am surprised you haven't chosen a book yet. I tend to have several waiting in line.
Dinner sounds wonderful. Sometimes I plan ahead and sometimes I don't. Today I haven't thought about it yet.

I'm actually surprised at myself for not having a book picked out. Usually I have the next one ready while I'm still reading the current one. I think I have too many to choose from

Glasses are so expensive. I only wear reading glasses but I know my daughters and son pay quite a bit for their glasses/contacts.

I just closed our windows and turned on the gas fireplace. It feels so good. I used to plan weekly meals, but now I decide the day of. We go out a lot, so this way, we don't waste food. My freezer is well stocked. Hubs will pick up fresh fruit and veggies today on his way home from his meanderings. I just decided to have ribeye on the grill.

I usually have things in mind about what I want to make for dinner. It's hot here still, can't wait for cooler weather.

Your supper sounds delicious.
We had meatball Monday, comfort food, along with some pork and beans. Its an easy meal since I just do the meatballs up in muffin tins and let them bake, and opening a can of beans, well you know how difficult that can be. But somehow we love that meal.

Meals depends on where and how much I work, like my dinner post last night. I needed something quick!

What I'm having for dinner is the worst part of my day. I am a very picky eater and that makes things difficult. I at this time have no idea what we are having. I often ask my hubby and son what we should have and their favorite answer is " food". They are so no help.

Dinner is my favorite meal of the day so I usually plan that ahead of time so I have something good to look forward to. Your hubby and son sound like my kids always did when asked what they wanted to eat. A bunch of wise-guys

Yes, I kind of think about a few days in advance so I can get what I need, but often end up picking up a few missing groceries to complete the task. But it's best to plan ahead a little or we'd just have to order in or go out -ha!---Not a bad idea either---ha!
