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

Slept OK yesterday, got up today, was booking Paratransit for Wednesday but could not find the appointment sheet from the hospital. I guessed it was 130pm, I will call Monday to be sure but had to book trip today. I also have an echo on Friday. I will ask for a new sheet to be done up on Wednesday.

EDIT re appointment sheet, thought it was stupid to think I lost sheet, had looked in purse but not there but checked wee knapsack and it turned out to be there. Luckily I was correct on the 130 pm Herceptin time for Wednesday. I may have lots of bad luck but I do also have my fair share of good luck.

EDIT 2 I am not sure why procrastinated on the census, really was very short and easy online, I made sure to add the completion code to my phone in a picture and sticky note on laptop. Put sheet back in my purse as that is where I mentally remember to put it.

Nothing much going on, have the window fan on, down to 65 but not bothered by it. Feels pleasant due to a window fan I have and a large blanket being used. Doing census after breakfast and just doing chores, floors, laundry and possible blankets, I will see, want to take seat cover off other part of couch and put another blanket on. They are fleecy but as said, easier to wash blankets vs seat cushion cover.

I also decided to check on my court dates, if they do not interfere with treatment, I am just going to show up. I figure that it is far less stressful than repeatedly trying to get cop or crown attorney involved and there is no way they will not do a prescreening. In that case, I can explain my brain issues since 7 years ago and the first statement.

Sticking to more ordinary food again. I did have the bean, red lentil and canned lentil meal yesterday. No rice, it was very good, filling yes but not like overeating junk food. I was also careful about amounts of food. 1/4 cup each of the beans and canned lentils and 1/8th cup or two tbsp of the dried red lentils since they expand quite a bit. Used salad dressings to bind and added salt, sour cream and onion and gralic butter dry seasonings. To day need to incorporate eggs in meals as well, will post if good or bad.

EDIT for food, decided first meal will be the knorr fettucine alfredo. I added 2 tbsp of dried lentils, they do not change taste and they do add some fibre to the meal. Stirring every half hour, when it comes time, will add either plain yogurt or sour cream to make everything more creamy since no milk on hand.

I hope everyone has a good day, in pockets for all.

@threetree @chicagoan glad you both have working computers again, I would be lost without mine.

Nothing happening today again but will be busy rest of the week. Wednesday, Herceptin, Thursday, mall trip, I can try to maintain it and Friday is my routine Echo. All are in the afternoon. Waiting to hear from Paratransit for my Friday trip.

I did get my call the Paratransit is set up for all appointments.

The officer involved with the murder trial called me and listened to my concerns about lack of memory of what date bloody clothes left in the backyard. My mom was still alive so I know was before Jan 19 of 2019. He said he will get me a copy of my statement in couple of weeks. I did check and even if I was required for entire trial, it would not interfere with appointments or scans so that is good.

I do not know what I want to eat, getting tired of everything honestly but still eating through my pantry, freezer and fridge. Got lots of seasoning too. Debating on egg and diced potatoes and adding lentils. Beans are not so much of my jam, need to chop them to make them a smaller texture like the lentils. I will find other stuff to make. May also order the mini pizzas from Walmart. If not, just get a full size one. I am thinking about microwaving an egg or too with some beans added to it. Bring over to the chopper and chop up the eggs, beans with some cheese, dump into the air fryer and stir a few times. Not adding queso until after the food goes through the air fryer as I found last time that was done, was practically soup which was not the best. It did taste good.

Decided to order an egg mcmuffin meal, sml tea and two hashbrowns which reminds me to make an order for hashbrowns from Walmart. Going to just have groceries delivered and still book a mall walk periodically. I will stay in my own pocket to head out for the mall walk trip as well. I will also offer grace for myself if I do not go. I have two trips for the hospital anyway so that gets me out.

EDIT got the McDouble meal, no pickles, ketchup or mustard, some big mac condiments again and some peanut butter and butter condiments as they were free. Only thing that was not free were the big mac condiments..

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

I did alright for sleep, gearing up for some really hot weather coming we will feel 90's for a few days and on top of heat, will be hot. Waiting for DB to take me out because I need a new window fan as we speak. If the apartment gets hot, will try leaving bedroom door open and see if cats allow me to sleep and use split AC. Got it on to keep 75 in the house and still have an extra fan to use. It is not staying hot for more than a couple of days but heat will still be on til mid june. Keeping the ductless AC on a higher temp, round 75. It seems to throw off an error message if I run it too low it throws an air message so will try 80. I am running window air as it is cool outside. Oh well, need to take the obsession down a few notches, soon enough heat will be off, I will get a window AC long before it is hot all the time. I also do not need to buy something unnecessary anyway. Also sit on hands until DB calls to take me out. He'll be pissed if purchasing on my own so I will humour him.

Nothing to complicated on the agenda for me, got my routine echo today. Got some laundry going right now. Planning on a bigger meat pie with some canned lentils by at least 12pm. Then I can get ready again, little makeup and coverup. I also like having a wig on as well, can use the bangs to cover the frown lines between my eyebrows.

Going to have a bigger pot pie, not sure if chicken, turkey or the beef and add a few canned lentils to the mix, use some caesar salad dressing to dress it up some. Should be good I think. Make sure am dressed and made up at 1245pm. I don't take long to be ready anyway. I am convinced I like lentils more than beans and they are just as healthy and I do not have to chop them up to make them a better size. Got a beef pie and lentils in a 700W microwave for 6 mins.

I do hope everyone has a good day, in pockets for all.

@cookie54 Glad to hear about the good scans.

@chicagoan I know some people who do not need it. I do like fans and AC. My building still has heat on as it is boiler heat. While the aggressive heat is good for cold weather, it is insanely hot. Far as the AC goes, it worked well last night. Used mostly as window fan but shut off today for now, it is not at all hot. If cool everything is shut off.

I made a grocery order today, more mini meat pies, a pizza, going to cook that up first, more sour cream and black forest ham slices. Can be used for an egg sandwich or topping for the pizza that is coming I think. Of course I will see and post. Order is not a lot of food but that is inflation I think. Lot of food that could be stretched reasonably.

Floors, mopping and sweeps will happen, got to do some laundry etc and make my bed and not sure after that.

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

@chicagoan You are right for sure, the hallway is crazy hot for sure. Night time is more comfortable now. We will have humidex values into the 90's for the next couple of days but that is fine I think. Just need to shut off window fan before it gets super warm outside. By Wednesday it will be cooler again.

I spent my meals yesterday eating a pizza that was on sale at Walmart though I did put beans on top. I also purchased black forest ham slices as they were pretty cheap, going to make an egg muffin with the ham and an english muffin, gonna look for my egg mcmuffin maker, I will see. If not do up in one of my mini griddles. I honestly did not count the ham slices in as another protein to have. My other idea is lentils and rice, I could also chop up some beans and cheese, I will see. Post later if good. EDIT I decided to make an egg mcmuffin in my hamilton beach maker and heated up the english muffin in there as well. After done added some cheese to melt and some mayo. Forgot the ham in there. It was still good. I also located my quesadilla maker, was storing it in the oven in the kitchen. Putting mayo and butter on top. Egg Mcmuffin was good. Ate some peanut butter as well.

Floors and laundry to be done and going for a drive with a dear friend after 4pm. Known her for 20 years since we worked together and I trained her at the call centre. Looking forward to the trip. I also reinforced a floating lint filter with zip ties as those always come apart after a few washes.

I hope everyone has a good day and in pockets for everyone.

ADDITION The drive was a nice long drive and it was good to see my friend again.

cookies54 fantastic news!!!!
