    I got my Walmart order, got everything ordered, a few frozen things, planning as said before to heat up in the microwave. Pulled on swedish meat ball thing and the veggie stir fry. Accidentally pick up canned potatoes. I will figure out what to do with those later. Got more meat pies and the dozen eggs I wanted. Saved 10.00 on the order too since I use the Walmart black rewards card so that was a good savings.

    I chose to heat up one of the swedish meatballs and a package of stir fry veggies as well, once they cool down, I will put them in the fridge and stretch each for some extra meals which would be good. Stir fry is 1.224 and swedish meatball meal is 2.58 and it reminds me of stroganoff which is nice. By heating them up, I can leave in the fridge for a couple of days and use them with other stuff. Make it easier to make stuff I would be too lazy to make. Tonight could include chicken pot pie I got today and a spoonful of the swedish meatballs and some of the stirfry as well. Plan to split both meals up into more than one as well. Not sure what to do with the canned potatoes, might chop up with croutons or chips that I have then heat with eggs later on, not sure yet.

    Micmel-I am so sorry to hear about your DD. Not fair. Prayers for strength and healing for both of you.

    oh my goodness Mel, what heartbreaking news. So much grief to carry, and heartache. As all have shared I too am sending you much love and light to help carry this burden. And wrapping you and yours in hugs and angel wings. ❤️

    Micmel, I’m free anytime. I hate this for you and your daughter but I’m glad she’s getting through it.

    Shana - I do cough after my Faslodex shots, and I ache all over as well. I got my last ones 2 weeks ago and just over the last couple of days, have I started to feel more "normal" (not good, but my usual "not-so-great"). I can get a little nausea too, and that might equate with your vomiting, if you get similar symptoms, but just maybe a bit different or worse in some ways. I know you get your Faslodex and Xgeva at the same time, and I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I only ever got my Zometa and Faslodex at the same time once - last January, and I think it might have been a bit worse than when I get them separately. I know many are fine with it though. I've also noticed that the longer I take the Faslodex (almost 2 years now), the longer it seems to take for those stronger side effects that come right after the shots, to die down. I used to need a few days and now it's closer to 2 weeks. I don't know if Xgeva would be similar in that way - they are drugs with similar effects. Just my thoughts and 2 cents. I too would be interested to see what others have to say. I'm real sorry about your extra bad night, and hope that you have a much better day today. Hug.

    start Claritin into your medicine regimen. Especially where xgeva or a nulasta shot.

    I slept well last night, it was warmer than usual and a lot of snow has melted. Guess we are into the warm up, freeze and then another warm up stage of winter. I turned off the extra heat as well. Boiler working just fine to keep it warm. You know you are in Canada when you can turn on the AC in the morning and then turn on the heat in the evening.

    Totally missed CT appointment yesterday but was able to rebook CT for tomorrow. Was lucky enough to get Paratransit as well. It will have me arrive a little late but no other rides available. It should be OK BUT if it is not OK, will simply leave for the MO to rebook. Putting reminders on the tv and making more of an effort to look at my calendar. Now I just need to stop beating myself up for missing an appointment. I am working on it.

    I am having meat pies for breakfast, 2 mini pot pies. Later have a chopped bean, rice and cheese meal. I am choosing to get rid of the english muffin, I do not have any desire to eat them up and bought at Costco about 3 weeks ago so while they are not moldy, they do not appeal to me.

    Laundry was started after all the calls and will finish that. I will probably go to bed early, probably will not sleep so early but easier to get up. I will also put out my garbage. Easier now snow has melted. Lots of it as well.

    I do hope everyone has a good day, in pockets for anyone who needs me as well.

    Wow, taking garbage out is hard, only 1 of 3 bags done, face red and overheated. Oh well, 545 will see the next one go out and the last one is the lightest.

    Well, got the last two out at the same time huffing and puffing but it is done, leaving recyclables, can address that next week. Need to keep bags light to take out, heavy does not work for me at all. I almost tripped but managed to rescue myself.
