My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer

@tbos805 -I go to Fred Hutch in North Seattle, and it is definitely less stressful than having to go deeper into the city (South Lake Union). I would also say that Swedish is excellent. I've also heard from people who are real happy with Virginia Mason.

Oops! This was meant for the bone mets thread. I don't know how to copy and paste on my phone, so will try to repost something similar on the appropriate thread. Computer's not working, so only have phone that I am not good with.

Morning ladies, thanks for all the thoughts withe the NE blizzard. We lost power overnight on Sunday and thankfully was restored last night! We do have a portable generator to keep the fridge running and small appliances but doesn't help with the heater. Anyhow yesterday looked like a beautiful winter wonderland with all the trees trimmed and needless to say Buster had a blast! Hoping for a quicker melt this time a temps are rising this week.Hope everyone in the path is safe and sound.

@irishlove Sorry you were were deprived of some mental relief earlier but cheers to NED!

@shanagirl Hope you were able to get another appt this week. The roads were much easier to clear this time without all the ice, fingers crossed.

Hi to all here, in your pockets for all appt and struggles this week, hugs❣️

@intolight I am sorry you cannot have the pedicure together, can you get together for something else with them like lunch, dinner or coffee?

@eleanora 1.5 inch would not keep kids or workplaces at home here but it would keep me at home. I find people judgemental toward places that are not generally covered in snow very much and saying well we still go out. Canada is used to snow and are amongst those who say hold my coffee. We probably have more snow removal go on too.. I hope it is cleared quickly and the snow will hangout in the trees and look pretty.

It is garbage day here, must take out a bunch both from smaller garbages inside and my bigger bins outside. My SIL took a blue bin out from in house and dumped outside. I went out yesterday to see what was in there, absolutely nothing. Grabbed it to pull over to my bin, I will keep stuff out in that corner, it has a lid as well so will not be sloppy or smelly at all. It actually looks very tidy.

Planning on laundry, thinking I want to clean up some of my blankets through the day. The big ones would be a good idea, could bring my Panda spinner which is bigger. Use a larger container to catch the water, I will see about that later, do my normal stuff first.

Food will be interesting, I might do up a frozen hamburger, put into the pan and let cool a bit, chop up and add to a couple of meals. Might do up beef in a veggie stirfry frozen thing or add to crispy lentils and beans with proper rice. It could work. Aiming to wait til next week for a shop and eat through my supplies. I still have quite a few burritos to go through, bean and beef. I put one with the veggie stir fry thing and was yummy. I will post anything good I make.

I hope all have a good day. in pockets for all and my own pocket not to stay on the couch all day as was done yesterday.

Was craving salad so ordered on an order from Walmart, got the mediterranean salad and got lots of mini pot pies. Needed eggs and english muffins anyway. The mini pot pies will help me make basic dinners taste good. So once order arrives, I can take some of the salad, use the air fryer to heat up some lentils and beans, small amount, they are meant to replace croutons. I will heat up one of the beef mini pot pies and have the salad and beans together. Yummy and also realized, if out of proper salad dressing put a squirt of mayo in a bowl and a tiny bit of water to thin it out. Might be good.

I did notice, thought I ordered the smaller beef and macaroni stuff but they are all a pound of stuff. Oops, did not mean to do that. Oh well, no matter. I did the Klarna thing so can pay off in instalments, bout 17 bucks per 2 week, I am going to pay it all off sooner before ordering any more.

Since each of the frozen pasta, both lasagna and the beef and tomato stuff are a lb each, I will be preheating each pkg since it is in the coldest part of the fridge, better to cook it up and manage meals, today planning the frozen lasagna, a mini pot pie, beef and some salad and crunchy lentils.

Intolight when you say frozen yogurt do you mean like soft ice cream? Or do you mean frozen, like on a popsicle stick?

When DD was little she was a beast to feed! That kid gave me heart failure. REFUSED yogurt. For her it was a texture thing. To this very day she is highly aware of food textures (yet she eats that vile, gelatinous headcheese, go figure!) To get her to eat yogurt, I made her actual popsicles. I mixed up a box of jello, but used way less water than required so it was really potent tasting. Stirred in yogurt, poured into little molds, stuck a popsicle stick in and froze. She refused yogurt but ate those things like crazy. Yeah, there was a lot of sugar. But I told myself gelatin was good for her and so was the yogurt, although the little yogurt cooties were probably frozen solid and kaput. I think you could whip yourself up some yog-sicles and console yourself for missing out on the pedicure.

Hi and hugs to all.

@runor Frozen yogurt for me is the soft ice cream. My DGD loves a business here called Swirley Cow—sort of like Fro-Yo. Anyways my DD takes her there for a treat and she brings one home for my DH and I too. I eat Greek Yogurt at home and add berries. Me DGD is a nightmare to feed also but she does eat sweetened yogurt. She eats other things but it is a texture thing for her too. She is almost 11 and very active and has good muscles (she is a gymnist) so she is getting something.

@irishlove I was never told 2.5 was the threshhold for active tumors. That is new for me. I thought anything growing was considered active but maybe my MO looked at anything over 2.5 for a med change. Interesting. Our low temps continue to be in the 30s but we are reaching high 60s for the rest of the month during the day. Since we totally redid our landscaping two years ago we need to water. But since we are so dry there are water restrictions. It will be a tough Spring.
