THE WEEK IN REVIEW
It seemed to be a busier than normal week, hence the single post I managed this week. Labor Day was good, with an outing to one of my favorite lunch spots (Chicken Salad Chick) with my mom, one of my sisters, and The Husband.
The Husband was out of town on Wednesday to attend a shooting competition (target shooting) and came in first place! He shot three targets and had *perfect scores* on two of them. So excited for him. 😊
I had a yearly check-up on Thursday and as much as I get worked up and overly-anxious at medical appointments, this one went so well. I loved my provider (a nurse practitioner). She was kind, listened, asked questions, was patient, and I never felt rushed. Got positive feedback on my recent lab work, and scheduled a few specialty appointments. All good stuff. The Husband and I went out for a late lunch afterward and my lunch may look and sound basic, but sometimes the simple things are the best things. Turkey, bacon and cheddar on rye. And the fact that it came with tater tots put it right over the top. So yum. 😋
Feeling rather mellow today so in keeping with the vibe, this week's throwback song is Oh No (1981) by The Commodores. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteGlad the medical stuff was all good. always a good feeling. Hope you're having a nice weekend :)
Greg - I so agree. I good sandwich makes me happy. :)
DeleteSounds like you had a fun and successful week. Congratulations to your sharp-shooting husband. How's Camden? That's where I need to pick up this series.
ReplyDeleteSam - Camden was such a great entry in the series. I just loved he and Danica together.
DeleteSounds like you had a fun Labor Day outing. And congrats on your husband for winning that competition. I always get anxious about medical appointment too, so I definitely udnerstand that, glad to hear it went well and you had a nurse that really listened and was patient. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLola - Medical appointments are always so stressful, even when they go well! Thankfully I'm relatively healthy and don't have to go too often!
DeleteThere are several Chicken Salad Chicks around here and they seem very popular! Congrats to your husband and Yay for having a good medical visit!
ReplyDeleteSamantha - It's probably a good thing I don't have a Chicken Salad Chick location any closer - I'd be there all the time. lol
DeleteOh wow congratulations to your husband! Mine has problems shooting now with his new glasses so he tried with a laser (?) and that was way better!
ReplyDeleteSophie - I don't think my husband has a laser on the one he competes with. But he has something called a scope and I guess that helps. I know very little about it! lol
DeleteSo glad your physical went well! I have a whole host of appointments I need to schedule or go to; I really need the push!
ReplyDeleteAngela - So many appts to take care of as we get older. I got my physical out of the way, and the mammogram. Now I need dermatology and the dentist. Gah!
DeleteSounds like you had a good week. I usually like Lisa Jewell books and I haven't read this one yet, so I'll be adding it. Have a terrific week.

Terrie - I hope you enjoy the one by Lisa Jewell if/when you get to it.
DeleteThe simple recipes done right are usually the most delicious. The sandwich combo is one of my favorites, too, though I usually do it on sourdough bread and broil open faced so the cheese gets a melty. Yum! Sounds like you had a wonderful Labor Day and how exciting for your husband!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy Coming Home! It was a sweet romance and I still just love that cover!
That random is so true!
Rachel - I agree, sourdough bread is the best. If they'd had that as an option I definitely would have got it.
DeleteI'm glad your week was so pleasant. Congrats to the Husband. Now I am looking forward to those slightly cooler temps this week!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Anne - Hope you've been enjoying those cooler temps. It's been happening so gradually here that I barely notice.
DeleteLove the meme about the 40 minute flute solo, lol. Glad you had a good week, and yeah, the simple thing can be the nicest! We're supposed to be having cooler temps this week too. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLisa Loves Literature
Lisa - Send those cooler temps my way, would you? LOL
DeleteI love a basic lunch and that sandwich looks delicious!!! And I love tater tots. And DANG IT I just realized I still have some creamy tomato basil soup in the fridge from MY basic lunch last week! Oh please still be good, soup! I promise to eat you today!!!!
ReplyDeleteI forget where I first heard of Chicken Salad Chick but I've wished I had one near me ever since. I'm imagining all different varieties of chicken salads to choose from. Curry, tarragon, basic, with dried cranberries...
That's awesome that your husband got first place!
Jinjer - No Chicken Salad Chick's in your area? The three in my city aren't exactly close by, but at least they're there when I want them.
DeleteCongrats to your husband!
ReplyDeleteWell, you know about all my annoying health care drama lol but I've loved each and every PA I've ever had. They're been better than most Dr's. I'm glad your visit went well.
Karen @For What It's Worth
Karen - I so agree. I'm almost always happier with a PA or NP.
DeleteKudos to your husband for taking first place! That's awesome. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Lark! He was pretty thrilled by the win. :)
DeleteCongrats to your husband. Your lunch looks delicious. Glad the appointment went. Regine

Thanks Regine!
DeleteI'm happy to read that everything went well with your checkup. My husband is out of town this week too. He's got a big announcement at work tomorrow, so he flew our to corporate to be there for it.
ReplyDeleteIn my mind, there's nothing better than a simple turkey sandwich. It hits the spot everytime!
Ethan - I couldn't agree more. A turkey sandwich is always my go-to. Hope the announcement at your husband's company meant good things!
DeleteThe sandwich looks good. Congrats to your husband. Glad your annual went well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kimberly! It was relief to get an all clear. :)
DeleteCongratulations to your husband. He must be so happy.
ReplyDeleteThat Lisa Jewell book looks good.
Thank you, Hena. :)
DeleteIt sounds like you had a good but busy week with some yummy food. Congrats to your husband on the win! I also love when I have a doctor appointment and the person I meet with is someone who listens and is nice.
ReplyDeleteDeanna - I don't know why it's so hard to find a medical provider that is patient and kind, but those are like gold!
DeleteCongratulations to your husband! That's awesome! I have the Lisa Jewell book on my TBR and am really looking forward to it. I think I've really enjoyed every book I've read by her. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteKatherine - I hope you enjoy the Lisa Jewell book when you get to it. I loved it!
DeleteCongrats to your hubby and yay for the good doctor's appointment. The older I get, the more I dread those, haha.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne - Isn't that the truth? The older we get the more can go wrong. lol
DeleteYay for your hubs! My daughter is starting with shooting competitions this year in 4-H. And yay for the successful doctor's appointment.
ReplyDeleteAlison - I hope your daughter enjoys it!
