The Pirates home opener is tomorrow and there is snow in the forecast. April in Pittsburgh! Snow on the 7th, then mid-70's on the 10th!
I think my sickness is gone and now it's just allergies but I seem to still have some sort of cough/slight chest congestion and I am afraid to take medicine with an expectorant.
This week I went to the dentist for the first time in 4 years. There were real reasons that some appointments were cancelled but then never rescheduled and then the not rescheduling was just forgetting/ignoring the dentist. My teeth definitely look better but my goodness did my teeth and gums feel sore after that visit. I guess that's my lesson: don't wait 4 years between cleanings.
Meals This Week:
- Braised Lamb Shanks with Olives, Lemon, and Tomato and side salad
- Grilled Shrimp with Salad
- Dessert: M&M Shortbread Cookies
What We're Watching:
- Not 24: Legacy and not Quantico. We officially gave up.
- Grimm ended and it had a satisfying series ending. Sleepy Hollow ended the season and it was a good ending, appropriate if there is not next season.
- Big Little Lies ended. Overall I enjoyed the series. I think, as someone who read the book, the ending could have been explained a bit more to non-readers, but I guess that's nitpicky.
- We're enjoying The Americans and Designated Survivor a lot.
- Amazing Race is back! The first episode wasn't too exciting, just one challenge.
- Upcoming shows premiering in April that we're excited about: Genius on National Geographic, Fargo Season 3 on FX, and Bosch Season 3 on Amazon.
- Someday Dish and Hearst will get ABC back on the air and I can stop setting up timers for the OTA ABC shows.
Movies:
- We watched Trolls. It was OK. I never understood the troll thing, I actually can't stand them, so I'm not sure why it was on my Netflix queue, but it was, and it arrived, so we watched and while it's a perfectly fine animated movie, we felt it lacked the tidbits to entertain adults.
- We also watched Central Intelligence. Not the kind of humor we usually enjoy and yet somehow we found ourselves watching.
Books:
Mississippi Blood arrived! SP picked it up Monday night at the library and somehow I have not yet started reading but I AM SO EXCITED to read the final book in Greg Iles' trilogy.The past 2 days I've had visitors and the afternoons got away from me but today is the day. Time to dive back into the world of Penn Cage & Natchez, Mississippi. 700+ pages!
