So I will be heat up some ground beef, still quite frozen even after the defrost, got greased pan on low heat with a lid, will check back shortly as I could not use the masher on it yet, will keep checking back till it can be mashed and browned, let cool. Then will make up some KD, was going to do a full box but decided would be better to use small amount of the noodes and add some different ingredients. My plan is to make an egg with the noodles then add browned beef with some beans, not as many as yesterday. Mix toppings and seasonings as needed. Leaving on low heat and lid for a few minutes, not offended if a bit crispy. Let that lot cool, then take a pot and heat up some KD noodles, not whole box and add an egg as well. Take egg and KD noodle mix, put in pot with a spoonful of meat and cheese and add some beans. Just a spoonful. Probably add some ranch, shredded cheese and other condiments, could make a burger sort of vibe with the cheese, ranch and perhaps dollops of mayochup, garlic and other stuff. I will see. I need to keep the dollops small.

Got frustrated as when I opened container of dry noodles, think they were from a hamburger helper pack, they spilled out. Picked them up, rinsed them off and tossed in a bit of water and the egg, letting it all set up together. Once egg and noodles done, will add a couple scoops beans and couple scoops of beef and some cheese and heat up same pot to mix the flavours. May also add the rest of the beef to a container and see if the pot will offer little bit of grease to add some extra flavour or a tsp of butter and tsp of garlic butter and heat those through.

EDIT meal including pasta, egg, beef, cheese and some beans was delicious but filling. I did add the mayochup, caesar and garlic mayo. All were supersmall drops. Added 1/4 tsp garlic salt, regular salt and sour cream powder. All very small amounts, it was delicious. Due to fat content, pre emptive immodiums taken to avoid loose stuff. I love the food but figure taking stuff in advance is helpful. Put rest of beef in the fridge. DELICIOUS.

@eleanora Yes, I agree, since I know I overheat even in comfortable weather and a neck fan, bulk of walking will be indoors. I am not yet joining a gym because I need to do regular walking around first and be reliable with that first.

@shanagirl All of us are in your pocket sending love, support and food for coming treatments and some pain relief I really hope.

I called my DB yesterday instead of SIL. Explained how I was feeling post heat related incident. Let him know that outdoor walks were off the board. That eventually will work out another treadmill but once current bills paid off and get rid of too large sofa so there is room in the front. This will be at least a year or possibly two. No gym at this point as I do not venture out come winter. Also offered to text that all is well since wellness checks are on a waiting list, not going to ask for nursing in house as the last couple of outside issues and the flu I had caused my overheating. Left it at that and that I do not want any housework done, I can handle it. Easier to say stuff to him since he is the one worried. I felt it was a good convo. I could not tell if he was on board with the all is well so might send a text in the evening. SIL has been helpful too but easier dealing with him.

Speaking of winter, last dream I was having involved my Mom and I slipping on ice both outside and inside building here. We did not fall and our hallway and outside was covered in salt. Weird.

I am presently doing laundry, got to get back to the short marches, love to pump my arms fast, I forgot to do it yesterday to be honest, think I will listen to a song and march super fast to it. 1000 is fine for the first week, need to still complete what is being done here for budget boosting, chores and meeals.

I finally pulled one of the ground beef tubes out of the fridge, they are very close to a full pound for 10 bucks which is quite a good cost for 3 tubes and they are lean meat too, cooking up one of them this morning before putting together meal ideas. Just spray a pan and add a pat of butter. Once done, stick in a container to store in the fridge and can use at will, keep up to 5 days. Not fully sure what to have. My mind is having a contest between open a ramen package, egg and little beef with cheese, heated on the stove OR season with the cheese stuff in the taco dinner bake and beans, less of the ramen package and an egg, again heated on the stove, I will decide soon. Seeing on Walmart site they have a lot of value sized stuff including ground chicken, 3 tubes of that, pot stickers, I have never had those. Still need to get my fridge and freezer emptied out some. Freezer is back to playing tetris to fill it so need to finish the stuff off. Realizing that just because I have a delivery pass does not mean I need to shop all the time. Ideally, no more than every two to three weeks for me depending on what is needed. Also realizing that there is a wee no frills, little bit cheaper than regular stores across the street from the hospital so if done my appointment, could yeek across the street if Paratransit was not coming for a while.

I will post re meals once I have had them.

I do hope all are having a decent day and for those going through procedures, scans, changes in meds or SE, in pockets to all who may need me.

Shana - joining others with pocket duty. I like AJ’s suggestion and pray that is all they find🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
