I made the chickens solely for the gravy. It's the best gravy I've ever had and my family agrees. They request it for Thanksgiving so I made 2 batches to freeze for the big turkey day. This is the first time I'm freezing the gravy and then going to FoodSave it. We'll see how it goes. It's the crockpot chicken and gravy recipe from NomNom Paleo (and the chicken is like rotisserie chicken after hours in the crockpot).
Yesterday Gismo had a meet & greet. He's being adopted today! His mama is as quirky as he is - match made in heaven. He'll travel to the islands on charted plane (they own houses on 2 islands), homemade dog food, an adorable little old lady fur-sister to share the fun and a mama who spoils her animals rotten! Just what he deserves.
Willie is probably leaving this week too. Looks like he's moving to another foster who wants to adopt him if her youngest son doesn't have an allergic reaction. He's severely allergic to some dogs and not at all to others. It takes up to a week to see if he's reactive. I'll find out today if he's going. We won't take another foster until after our trip to DC.
Lift class and going away party was canceled today. Our instructor has pneumonia. Poor thing. Hopefully, she's on the mend soon and de-stresses enough with her new job to be healthy. I'll miss her for sure!
I had a come-to-God moment over the weekend and I'm back on a healthy track. Let's say it involved me, God and a pair of jeans. Doesn't it always lol??
Sunday we had a great hike - Willie came along and did a fantastic job. Hiking again this weekend. Dog joy is the best joy. Before the hike I did something I haven't done in FOREVER. Ran outside. Dark, cool, peaceful. I didn't realize how much I missed it. And I miss working out in the early morning hours. I'm going to add a morning run back on weekends and try to do some of my other workouts really early in the morning again.
Our 25th anniversary is coming up and here's a true story quote from my hubby ... " speaking of divorce (we were talking about a friend), do I need to get you a gift for our anniversary or is the trip enough?" Let's just say I didn't marry the man for his romantic prowess. The question was followed by ..."what's wrong with that question?" Good lord. I love the man. Not a romantic cell in his body though.
Today and tomorrow the highs are in the low 60's. I could cry fall tears of joy! See ya summer!
Home workout today. I'll treadmill some intervals and do an arm lift. After dropping off Gismo, we have a meeting with a new accountant who specializes in people our age. Boring, but necessary. Hubby is getting a crown before the meeting - guess I'm having the better day.
Later gators (but first some dog pictures!)
