Monday Morning Brief and Sunday Update

Tweet

Good morning from sunny Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. The temp today is supposed to climb to 40 F today. Balmy! And then winter returns. At least we'll be back in the 30s F for the rest of the week. Can I say Oops? It feels like an oops. Today is the day for my dinner party with my pastor and his wife. I planned on pot roast. That's not what I'm making. First, though, let me update you on Sunday. It was a wonderful day. It started out at church. Pastor gave a wonderful sermon on Love from John 3:16. Then it was home. I cleaned the bathroom before church and the kitchen counters. After church, I swept and washed the bathroom and kitchen floors. The apartment is ready. So, it was time to watch a movie. Next up on my stack of Christian movies was Ben Hur, with Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd. Next week I'll watch the new Ben Hur. It's okay, I've watched it a few times, but I like the one I watched yesterday much better. Though I will say, I like the ending of the new one. I also watched a couple of my shows and was in bed by 8 PM. I knew I needed to be up early this morning. So, this morning. I did the laundry, ran the dishwasher, and cleaned my bedroom and made the bed. Now for the oops. I planned on pot roast with all the trimmings. I bought what I thought was small pot roasts back in October when I planned this dinner party. What I took out of the freezer and read the label was beef tenderloin - filet mignon. I've never made filet mignon in my life. I've already been online looking at instructions and printing up the recipes. I need to go to the store. I also need to find a cast-iron skillet. I hope someone among my friends here has one. I don't need much from the store, but I do need fresh rosemary and fresh garlic. I have everything else to make it. So, there's a menu change. Instead of pot roast with the typical fixings, I'm making filet mignon, cheesy mashed potatoes, and broccoli. I'm also making a lettuce salad and an apple crisp for dessert. Other than dinner plans, I'll try to get the notifications done, and work a little on Wilderness Cry. No guarantees on how much of either I'll get done today. I was also here for a moment yesterday when my phone showed me we got paid. I wanted to see the $ signs. Okay, those are the plans and the update for yesterday. How's your day going? Time to get down for exercise class. Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.
