Eating Again

We exhausted ourselves yesterday, driving all over the city for this, that and the next thing. Little things for the house (new bedroom blind, living room curtain rod that has to be returned, dryer vent pipe extension, miscellaneous stuff.). Was it a full moon? All these things should have been simple, but none was. It was a crazy, stressful, Murphy's Law kind of day.

Note to self: Do these things at the beginning of Dad's visits, so we wind up the visit on a calm note.

In fairness, the week was great weather-wise, and yesterday was our crappy rainy day, so who would have wanted to do all this silly stuff when the sun is shining and we could be out taking pics...or eating?

And as for eating, it seems that's all we did. :-)

I took Dad to a lovely downtown hotel restaurant for lunch yesterday, the same one we go to every year. Excellent food, great service. Dad had the water buffalo burger and I had the crab/seafood cakes. Yummy. We both had the warm chocolate bread pudding for dessert. Heavenly. 

Back to counting calories tomorrow, though!

 

 

We have a few more errands this morning, then Dad will head out after lunch, back to Montreal for the latter half of his visit. I'll be doing laundry and cleaning this afternoon and probably will crash early tonight. Back to work tomorrow, with all the craziness and stress that brings.

Purrs from the boys and peace from me.

P.S. I moved my column to the right side instead--does that make a difference? There's nothing in my settings to account for smaller font size or increased white space, etc. It looks okay on my laptop. The only thing I see now is the difference in size between Chum and Annie's pics and those of Nicki and Derry, in the sidebar.
