I still don’t have much of an appetite.  I brought stuff to make a smoothie for breakfast yesterday morning, but after drinking some coffee I just didn’t feel like it.  I wasn’t hungry, I was still coughing and the thought of having food in my stomach while coughing, well, made me feel sick to my stomach. Finally around 1:00 I knew I had to eat...

How Tony stayed home sick for all the time that he did.  Unable to do much but sit and watch t.v. all day long.  Day after day.  I got back from urgent care by 9:45 after stopping by the pharmacy.  I still have no appetite, but managed to have some toast and coffee.  They had me wear a mask in the waiting room since I...

When I first planned my trip to see my PIL, I had no idea that early September is pretty much the hottest time of year AND hurricane season!  The few days before I left I saw that Hurricane Erica was on it’s way and Hurricane Fred was right behind it.  Luckily it was perfect timing – we had great, yet hot, weather the whole time...

While I took a blog break this past weekend, I realized that my blog birthday was over the weekend.  Seven years!  My last post started a bit of a controversy, but in a good way.  I was overwhelmed with the amount of support you guys gave me by leaving comments, some of you coming out and leaving a comment for the first time. I literally...

I have Jacky to thank for finding this online.  Apparently one of my blog readers was upset that I was referring my food to looking like poo in a couple posts ago and thinks I’ve gone off the deep end.  I know what I put myself out here that I am fair game, but this is kind of crazy.  She said she used to feel...

It’s hard to believe nine months has gone since Tony passed away.  Some days if feels like nine minutes, other times it feels like a life time.  Every month I am reminded by the hospice center I picked out.  I know they mean well, but some of the stuff I read doesn’t make sense to me. Case in point – yesterday I got a list...

There was a slight delay in getting the beef we cut from our Denver trip because of a back order of shipping boxes, but it’s totally worth the wait. I defrosted the “tenderloin cubes/tips” bag the night before last in the fridge.  I used some of the beef for my breakfast and had plans on using the rest of it for a beef stir fry...

I’ve been trying out different protein powders trying to find one that doesn’t make me poop my pants.  Doing this carb cycling it’s nice to have a mini meal that is pretty much grab and go.  Well, we have a winner! Even though yesterday was my cheat day, I knew I was going out to dinner last night to celebrate my SIL’s birthday and even...

I was so happy when Courtney invited me to her cooking club a while back.   She was just at the tail end of a whole kitchen/family room remodel and I know she had dreams of getting back in her kitchen when she was without one for weeks during construction. Um, to say the project was a complete success is an understatement! I mean, come on...

I took a rest day yesterday and it was the best thing for my body.  Um, I think I have to remind myself that I am 47 years old, not 25!  I had a great time at Cooking Club and opted to sleep in this morning.  I got my new Fitbit yesterday and had to reload the software this morning and sync my dashboard up...
