    @tanya_djamila Happy belated birthday!

    Nothing on the agenda today, expecting cat food and litter deodorizer from Amazon.

    Laundry on spin cycle, will move to the dryer and then floors. Got breakfast in the rice cooker, added bunch of corn, lentils and ham. Set to a longer heating cycle. Put some spicy taco shells in with cheese and white cheese seasoning. Will take an hour. Let it all go through, put in bowl and add a binder for extra creaminess. Probably mayo. Post if really good.

    Meal 1 Had a little too much liquid, really did not need to much of that, need to only put water in if I need to season rice. Just makes it take so long to boil off the water. It was in rice cooker for 90 minutes. Debating taking the rice only approach or the partial packages of pasta too. I will say it was quite delicious. If I want food to turn out soft without burning, it is perfect for that hands down, just want to make it done within a half hour.

    For now, between times, watching 9to5. I have always liked that movie after Dolly Passed on.

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

    I slept decently yesterday, I usually sleep around 6 hours for the most part, not sure if because I am getting older but that seems to be enough for me.

    Got a couple items on their way, using instacart app for this one, just needed english muffins and loperimide, should be here around 1030.

    EDIT loperimide and what turned out to be sourdough english muffins, not on purpose already arrived. loperimide in the amount I was wanting is sold out.

    EDIT 2 Instead of doing fast food delivery, decided to get a couple of bags of chips, I hope the have them. If not, will be refunded.

    Floors are on the agenda of course, at least is sunny here, we were under a tornado warning last night but sunny today.

    Not sure on meals, think I could stand to make a partial box of Kraft Dinner, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 cup and use sour cream and onion seasoning and mayo to make it creamier. Lentils will definitely be added too. I could also heat up a burrito, to go alongside it since I still have a lot of them in the freezer to eat up, lots of hash browns and diced potatoes.

    EDIT 3 The actual meal wound up to be 1/3 cup of knorr garlic pasta and 1/3 cup lentils and a pat of garlic spread, subbed in for the butter, heated for 1/2 hour in the rice cooker, was quite good. Throughout the day, I munched on some sour cream and onion rings by humpty dumpty, very yummy.

    Hope all had a good day today, was in pockets for everyone.

    Nothing too much new here, woke up to a dream where my Mom left me at the mall and could not find her, has to be related to her passing away back in 2019. I was not overly perturbed when I awoke and knowing what caused it helps quite a bit.

    I still do not have anything on the agenda, thinking next week, look into updating my health card, expires on Nov 11, my birthday, rather get it sorted early.

    Not sure about food yet, got some new sour dough english muffins so could do something with an egg, lentils, rice and half a muffin and garlic. How I will make them all I will see. Could use red lentils to thicken up the egg, rice and lentils and put some good seasoning in. I will post later.

    EDIT MEAL 1 Decided to add a bit of everything to the meal. 1/3 rice, 1/3 lentils, one egg and a mini pot pie. I have it going for an hour and a half and did not put more than 1/3 cup water to cover rice. There is white cheese powder and the regular cheddar powder in there as well. It was friggin delicious.

    While waiting for it will watch May Day with Ryan Reynolds, looked interesting to me. MayDay was a funny but not too funny movie, sort of a lighter version of behind enemy lines, Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branaugh were excellent in it. It plays on the apple streaming channel.

    Laundry about to start, got some stuff in dryer at this point. Get that stuff done earlier in day, cat area to be done, floors etc. I actually did not leave anything soaking which is amazing.

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

    @mara51506 Dreams can be so strange sometimes, glad you were able to shrug it off. I barely ever remember much of my dreams sometimes just bits and pieces. Hope you had a good day, I haven’t seen May Day will have to put that winter watch list. Looking forward to a nice cooler weather weekend!

    Hi to all here hope it was a good day and you have a nice weekend ❤️

    Happy Labor Day week-end to all. Mara, I think Canada has one too (Labour Day) at a different time? Here's hoping everyone has a pleasant and enjoyable three days; and as pain and worry free as possible! You all are just the best.

    @runor So glad to read your note and that you are still around. I am happy that the air is clearing for you. You are not far behind me at ten years…It will be eleven for me next May. Love and hugs back!

    @candy-678 I am glad your drug has been working for 7 weeks, in you pocket for it to last much longer.

    @runor I did see on facebook that New Zealand, Australia and Mexico had firefighters heading home after helping with our fires, definitely glad the smoke is gone.

    I slept OK but am having a real balance issue, not like dizzines but my legs feel like they are going all over the place. I have not fallen as of yet, thinking I will grab a cane or two for extra support. At the moment it is annoying. No falls yet.

    Got laundry and a desire to do floors, they need doing every day. Cat area needs clearing out as well, get those on the go. Figuring out my food for today as well.

    MEALS TODAY Had a portion of mexican rice, part of a full box with lentils and canned ham added. Took 90 mins to heat through but it did taste very good with the seasoning that came with the package. I spooned out around 1/3 of it and took one of my many burritos. When the rice, ham and lentil was done, put it on plate with burrito for 3 mins in the microwave, very enjoyable.

    MEAL2 is just a buttered sourdough english muffin and new peanut butter purchased yesterday.

    Hope everyone has had a good day and in pockets for all.

    Slept alright, all laundry was done yesterday and completed if you can believe it. I also cleared my sink before cats were fed, cleaned up a mess from Tigger as well. I just love the paper towel for that purpose. Use the paper towel and a spray I use for sinks, toilets and even wash machines. Smells very good. No balance issues today, need to find more bed exercises to do for legs, can't put myself on floor and reliably get up

    Happy labour day, believe you have that in US as well so nothing is open here. At some point this week or next, need to get on top of renewing my health card, runs out in November, prefer to handle it earlier than feel panicked about it. Then since I do not have a passport or drivers license I have a purple ID card and it will run out next year. Plan to do that early, need that if bank asks for extra ID.

    I am going to get recycle and garbage together tomorrow as the day moves ahead after labour day and did not bother with the recycle, debating leaving a box for Tigger as well. I will see.

    Doing some laundry using some powder detergent that is years old, I prefer liquid if I am honest but feel it would be silly to just keep the powder in the linen closet. I don't feel the pull of buying laundry supplies like I used to feel but would like to get them used up.

    Food is a mystery, I have so much. If I want to keep it simple, can simply take one of the million burritos, 1/3 lentils,1/3 cup rice which would be my complete protein and add an egg. Het up the lentils, rice and egg and heat up in the rice cooker. Start it on quick rice setting. I do need to check the fridge as I do have leftovers in there which had ham, rice and lentils. I will post later what I have.

    I do hope all have a good day, in pockets for all as well.
