Like My Mother Does Welcome to  Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post  9  questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

And now I’ve got an issue with my orthopedist. Nothing too serious but I do need to follow up. Annoyed with my dentist. One of the reasons I chose this practice is that they had an office just five minutes from my house.  They just announced they’re closing that office, and now I’ll need to drive about. 35 minutes to their other office.  Sigh. Dinner last night … Drew wasn’t home, it was just me.  I bought a package of heat-and-serve chicken with fajita vegetables.  Not bad, but … The package said “four servings”.  Really?  More like two small servings, it would not have been enough for me and Drew, even with the yellow rice I added as a side. I’m hoping the pad Thai is better … I think this weekend I’m...
