Lunch out and shopping done!

August 5 – Day off, yeaaaa!  We had no definite plans for the days so there was no rush to get up and moving.  Bill’s poison ivy is spreading.  Not good.  He itches all the time, all night, and had tried several creams in addition to alcohol and is taking the pills the doctor prescribed.  Maybe once it all kicks in he’ll get better.  This morning I still only had the 2 patches on the inside of my knees but later in the day my right forearm started itching and I broke out with 3-4 very small spots.  I tried alcohol and later cider vinegar.  The vinegar burns like the dickens, but works better.

Eventually we loaded up of recyclables for the week and went to Meijers.  It was very exciting as we hit our all time high of $21.80, making out total so far $58.20.  We did our dab of shopping and then decided to try the Hobo Tavern for lunch which is only a couple of miles away.  They had a crowd but we got right in.  Service was a little slower than Handsome Hobo but then it was Sunday!  Bill loved his chicken pasta dish and the salad looked great.  I had Beef tenderloin tips with Italian veggies and a mushroom cream sauce with mashed potatoes.  The potatoes had the skins on so that was good and the veggies were totally delicious!  The sauce was good but a little thin and for the most part my tenderloins were good but, a couple were on the chewy side.  Not so chewy that I left anything on my place!

Once we put our few groceries away I had a glass (or two) of wine and finished a book to send my sister while Bill took a nap.  I had taken steaks out to thaw for dinner but since we ate kind of late and I had beef for lunch we decided to finish off some things in things in the fridge.  Still had some raspberry jello pie for dessert so we were good to go.

Chesapeake Shores, one of our favorite shows, started back up tonight at 9, so we were front and center for the new episode.  Then we both read for an hour.  Behind my left ear was starting to itch a bit  and my eyes were getting red and puffy.  NOT a good sign!  I swabbed them all with cider vinegar (NEVER do your eyelids with vinegar)!  OMG that burned so bad!  I had to wipe it off as much as I could and it still stung a while!
