Best Of

Well, not much sleep overnight but that is OK, feeling pretty good anyway.

Started laundry, not sure about my first meal. Thinking of a couple of eggs, add some beana and cheese into the magic bullet then add the mix to a muffin pan, fill up each one less than halfway. Bake on 375 and make egg muffins. Would be nutritious and a good way to use up food and get some protein. I have to say, having beans blended into eggs makes them more palatable. I do not love beans but since I am not really a veggie lover, easier this way. Option 2 would see a couple of eggs, whipped first to avoid an explosion, still have beans added and then chop the cooked eggs and beans, add to a pan to be fried in canola spray, bit of the plant butter which I do not care for and some garlic spread as well.

Also in process of moving large boxes off the end of couch just in case the treadmill shows up tonight, need to ensure there is enough room. I am waiting for DB to bring it, not calling him all the time for it though

I have also stumbled on to an assist in getting up, a lift chair should I fall in the house. Out of my budget currently but would be a good thing to have to get me up without calling an ambulance or brother. The one on Amazon looks to be foldable and does not weigh a ton. Now if I happened to fall outside, I may have to rely on regular bus if Paratransit votes to strike would have to call ambulance to get help getting up. Still am doing squats and bridge pose and the ankle rotations and the up and down to keep that up. Hoping the treadmill does its job and gets my legs to a stronger point knowing that if I do not make use of it I also plan to keep walking on the spot to make sure feet are lifting as the should be. Not a march but ensuring legs are lifting enough.

I do hope all have a good day and in pockets for all.

@cookie54 Yes, I am glad I got a ride and made it with 5 mins to spare.

@intolight Yes, the needle sticks are fine, they went through my hand finally though if the tech could not get it, the vascular nurse could have. Not much bruising which is nice. I am glad you had a good lunch with friends.

The Paratransit still have to ratify a deal or they can go out on strike the 21st of September. If they do, I will be forced to take the bus. Still need to get over fears of getting off the bus. Those kinds of issues should be less once my treadmill comes back, DB has confirmed he will bring it. Clearing out area where it will go, if not, can use it elsewhere. Big box in front of closet can stay, other boxes go elsewhere.

I am presently doing some laundry, got a blanket and a few clothes to do up. Washcloths used for cleaning will go into smaller washers after use. Reusing wash spray bottles with a label for different cleaners. Cleaning out toilet but think there is scratches to porcelain because after scrubbing out and soaking cleaners, it will not come out. Happened during the plumber visit. Oh well, nothing I can do about it, keep rest sparkling as usual.

I feel like having bean centric meals, got chipotle and green beans mixed together so thinking of dumping a bunch in the steel pot, sprayed with canola oil, add a dollop of garlic spread, little butter, dump a generous amount of beans. Putting in cheese and some tortilla strips. Not toasted just soft, mix together, let sit on the burner with a lid. I can add flavour with any of the over abundance of stuff I have by adding tiny amounts. Should be a good meal with lots of protein, will not take long either.

I obviously forgot to post this, I did have the bean centric meal, put some tortilla strips in, some peanut butter protein powder and some cheese, it came together as a super thick and creamy refried bean texture. I was pretty good if I do say so myself. I did not get hungry for a few hours, that is for sure.

Yeah, overall it was a good appointment for me, the needle was annoying but did not fuss in front of the worker. Wish I could have my port accessed before appointments in CT and MRI.
