Best Of

Good morning all, had a good night sleep for a change. Was closer to 2am but not broken up sleep, almost 8 hours. Tonight should be closer to 1 am and subtracting an hour from each night. Also getting warmer out so will keep an eye on salt and if needed as we will get into the freeze thaw thing.

No chores on tap today but the usual wash, meal prep etc. The cord situation has been massively improved from the kitchen outlet. I did buy an outlet that rotates but it is not practical in kitchen, brought out to living room where I use it as an extra power station for charging stuff. Put extra unused appliances into an unused cabinet just below. I hang onto a chopper my mom used to use due to nostalgia, works well but just a little small. I have another chopper which is bigger.

I am unsure on meals as usual. I need to eat through the freezer so that when I am done, can keep stuff in the freezer instead of coldest area of fridge. I had a burrito last night, they are inexpensive and quite delicious. I also need to heat up some of the lean ground beef I got as a surprise, it was the three pack for 10 bucks, I ordered in the morning. I think I will simply microwave an egg and a mini pot pie together, add garlic and seasoning. Easiest dish to have and help empty the freezer, can add a few either riced veggies or sliced frozen peppers. That could be good, got to see veggies in fridge first and put it all together I think. Later on, I will figure it out. Post if really good.

I hope everyone has a good day and in pockets for everyone.

@cookie54 Honestly I really think the belly issues have been the Verzenio and cough that doesn’t go away. And on the side effects list. It seems a like all the cancer treatments seem to happen pretty often in between good days and good weeks. Then hearing on the Patch that Neurovirus is goin g around NJ makes me wonder if that’s the belly issues and not wanting to eat and nausea. Geesh! you just never know if its the treatment or something else.Also thiss time of year my body wants to go into hibernation mode, and sooo tired I could lay down & sleep all day.. I’m in my room on my bed glued to the Nancy Guthrie updates.. then a 3rd letter from someone who knows who it is.. i worry so much about her current condition.

Hi everyone. Pretty day here today. Lots of squirrels and birds at the feeders. 2 raccoons coming at night along with community cats. However, we are in a very bad drought. Daytona 500 is this Sunday and of course they are calling for rain than. Can't win for losing. lol

Ah thanks for asking about my ribs. A lovely nurse called from the GP's office and we talked about MS and steroid usage. So tomorrow I'll start the prednisone pack and hope for relief. It's so difficult for folks to determine what's what with symptoms when you have more than one disease you are fighting. For me the worst is the severe backache. It feels like I've been riding a bull. I was hoping for all good news for each and every one of you for a sweet valentine's weekend. Trips, dining out and visiting family would be lovely. Gotta get to feeling better and working out the dosage that's best for you. I recall dropping from 125 mg Ibrance to 75 mg. I almost quit completely as it plus the SERD shot created major physcological problems.

Watching olympics and the Ruth Guthrie story. My heart aches and I cry with them. How cruel can someone be? One reporter believes this was a planned kidnapping as the suspect seemed to know his way around the surveillence cameras. No car was seen out from, so that gives me pause to worry even more. Prayers being sent for her safe return.

In pockets for all you sweet ladies and may a sweet hyacinth grow in your yard and soothe your soul.
