This week- let’s see. For the most part was a fine week, except for the raging fight I got into with my Husband (which was entirely his fault, and he tried to make me feel bad about it and make it into my issue- but that’s a whole blog you’ll read about in a few weeks) So shaking off my cranky mood- let’s try to find the silver lining…
- Today is SAT day- the second and final time my daughter will take the test
- We can throw out the fifteen SAT study guides
- At US Open exhibition matches, my daughter caught the ball and got it signed
- egg and cheese sandwiches (I never realized that this is a NY thing until I got to other parts of the country and realized they don’t have them like we do)
- My friend got her surgery date approved and all the SNAFU’s taken care of
- Home Design (stupid puzzle game app that I am a little bit obsessed with)
- options
- my ability to stay somewhat reasonable when I really wanted to go off the rails
- My Mom for buying my daughter a whole bunch of clothes so I don’t have to
- low humidity
- When Alexa transposed the verbal message “buy No 2 pencils” to buy hairy pencils (yeah- I got nothing)
Lovely to hear she got her date, I recognise that immense sigh of relief when the hospital letter finally arrives.

Well, as I thought she was going to strangle the person who didn’t send referral, happy that I didn’t need to bail her out….

Can you describe the egg&cheese sandwich. Sounds good. Fried egg?Toasted bread?

Ok. A traditional nyc sandwich is bought at a corner deli or bodega (except for the high rent streets, these are probably found every other block) they make so many that in the morning the grill guy cracks about a billion eggs and whisks them. When someone orders, they ladle the eggs onto the griddle, flip it over, add a slice of yellow american, and put it on a Kaiser roll (untoasted). It’s usually served with two strips of bacon on top, but my daughter doesn’t eat meat so when we order (cause we split one) I get it sans bacon. Perfection.

Thanks for writing about the egg and cheese sandwich. We lived on Long Island and never heard of this. It sounds delicious.

This is so great! Love that you do Gratitude Saturdays. And I acknowledge you for doing it even when you and your husband got into an argument. Good on you.
How did it go with your daughter’s SATs?? Hope it went really well. (and how cool that she caught the ball at the exhibition)
Have a good rest of your weekend. Blessings to you and your family — Debbie

Love it! Can’t wait to read about the fight that was all your fault. Glad to see I’m not the only one with a H that blames all fights on the other! Maybe we should make a club lol.

That’s a good list. I particularly like the “low humidity”. This year has been a bit of a trial. I expect it has been worse for you.

Oh God!. I downloaded that app too. Thank goodness you only get 5 lives at a time. Once SATs are over you feel as though your life can start again, so much building towards one stupid test.
