NaBloPoMo - day 11
Nov. 11th, 2011 07:02 pmIt's felt like a really long day. Maybe because I'm so excited about going to Sequim tomorrow.
I'm still having issues with my shoulder. My left shoulder is now sore because I'm compensating for the weakness in my right shoulder. And I have some muscle soreness in my right shoulder too, around my shoulder blade. I suppose all I can do is put a warm rice sock on it and hope that eases the discomfort somewhat. It's forcing me to take the Vicodin at night, even though I'd hoped to stop taking it by now.
It's been a pretty quiet day. After being out late this morning/early this afternoon, I had my pajamas on by 3 PM. I drank hot tea and did some work. I hope to have another work session tonight. I'm woefully behind on hours this pay period, but I needed a few days to rest and recover. It helped a lot. I'm only working in a limited capacity now until the pain and discomfort is mostly gone.
According to Lance, we have 59 days until we move.
So...I bought this for our Thanksgiving turkey:

And it's already pre-seasoned, but I have a feeling that it's still kind of bland. Any suggestions how I might jazz it up before I put it in the oven? I'm so used to making bone-in turkey breasts with skin, and they get all golden and crispy in the oven. This won't be like that at all. But I personally eat my turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy all mixed up together anyway, so I don't really know what difference it makes.
Tonight for dinner, I marinated some chicken breast fillets in Greek vinaigrette - something I need to use up before we leave. Before I put them in the oven, I sprinkled them with parmesan cheese. They turned out ok. I made a creamy rice dish on the side, a fake risotto with long-grain white rice, chicken broth, garlic, parmesan cheese, and peas. Not a bad dinner, but to be honest, I'm a bit bored with chicken.
