Best Of

@micmel Hopefully you can doze while Gabby has her appointment. My body does the same thing if I have an early appointment too. Good that you have help driving her to and from. Takes the load off.

@goldensrbest I am glad you are stable as well and hoping the pneumonitis stays asymptomatic as well.

@wren44 I am sorry to read about your progression as well, in pockets that whatever you take won't cause a lot of SE.

Had a decent sleep but still kind of tired. Spent yesterday talking myself out of an electric snow shovel, it is just november. Did pretty well as there is nothing on the way.

Nothing on the agenda today to do, doubtful DB will ask me to go anywhere. I am OK with that now, does not upset me. Only reason I want to see them is to find out what is ailing SIL but still respecting her boundaries.

I need to get together trash for sure, may use my own garbage can to hold some as I did not take it out last time and have a fair bit to go out. Just have to put a large label taped to the top. The folding up of garbage bag to make extra layers did work, my cats were not at all curious about any smell that could have happened. I triple bag everything else. Got a lot of walmart paper bags to recycle and quite a few cat litter plastic jugs as well.

Got two largest washers going at the same time, I love it, need a drain and then do vinegar and water mix 50/50 with a tiny bit of fabric softener that smells so good. Rest of leftover laundry to do is stored in Walmart bag, goal being to empty the bag by end of today and be clear of most of it. I've started putting dirty dishes in a bag as well and work on each section, makes it easier to follow where I am at. They are on the rinse cycle.

Having a few different thoughts for meal, Now that chia seeds have been found, will give some a soak for 20 to 30 mins in water first and then finish up the dishes. Once that is done, I think I want the chopped black beans and cheese and add some of the chia seeds, probably 1/2 tbsp since they do fill you up.

Going to soak seeds for 30 mins, then take black beans and shredded cheese, nice ground beef texture out of that. Heat up fry pan, spray with canola oil, add little bit of the plant butter and possible garlic spread on bottom, heat up, dump the beans and cheese. Add some cooked white rice as well, give quick stir and cover with lid. Will probably do a 1/4 beans and 1/4 cup rice as well. I do have a lot of ramen type noodles to break up and stick all in a container. Other than that, no obvious meal plans afoot except an egg sandwich later this afternoon on english muffin. I will see. I also found some tortillas that were misplaced, need to start storing groceries in dresser drawers or one of the large containers and keep it together. I do use an old paper shredder container to hold extra stuff I am using as well for more immediate meals.

The meal with rice, beans, shredded cheese and chia seeds were made in the same pot, no chopping in of the cheese, ate the beans. I first added taco seasoning to the rice as it boiled. I then added beans, soaked chia seeds and cheese to the same pot, turned heat up again, stirred the ingredients. Added queso, sour cream and the dry taco as well. It was very good, filling even though was only 1/3 cup rice and beans. I did add a miniscule portion of beef powder from the ramen noodles. Not sure about tonight as of yet. Might take a tortilla and add the peanut butter and honeynut cheerio mix, I will see.

I have a lot of paper bags to recycle as well as the tidy cat containers. That will all go out, even with all containers I have inside.

I hope everyone is having a good day and in pockets for all who need me.

@shanagirl That's great news. Hope the radiation does the trick and you will be back to painless walking.

Addition to previous post. I found a ton of missing stuff food wise as I was unloading stuff, ran out of blue bags to use will need to put out as garbage bags this time, bought more blue bags which will arrive tomorrow. Also decided to get the clothes dryer that goes from the top down. I needed extra garbage and blue bags anyway so added to an easy to manage payment plan, everything comes tomorrow. I also have to say, easier to manage garbage WITHOUT my cane. Got 4 black bags of litter, garbage and the 7 layer chicken waste and one blue bag I had left.

I managed to get a fair bit of food and found some digestive enzymes and immodium from Amazon, they been sitting in there for quite a while but that was a bonus to find. I am also going to sort food and keep in the same area so it is not all over the place. When I make my Walmart order, will get another large box for stacking up stuff. Have so many reusable bags from the grocery store it is quite ridiculous

Hi ladies….Cant sleep. Gabbie has chemo tomorrow and I’ve got to be ready to be at the hospital early with her. It still upsets me. I hate it. It makes me so mad. My fiancé drives up to her place to pick her up at 730 am and drives her there. Then I come to relieve him at nine and then when she’s done he drives her home again. He’s gone to every chemo. He’s amazing. I don’t know what we would do without this amazing soul we’ve been gifted. The best man I’ve ever known. I hope it goes quick and I can get some sleep. I think about you all. Mkestral love the pics. Make me smile. Tanya. Seriously??? Wonderful photos and I hope you had a blast. Be safe everyone! Much love!
