Not feeling particularly good. I think an infection I picked up in the hospital (maybe) has flared up. No energy and just an unwell feeling. BP is too high despite adding another medication. Time to see the Doctor. Nothing to worry about, but I will. Three close friends are having some problems with their specific panic disorders and it is putting a negative spin on my thinking. I'm pleased to say though that two others are doing very well with their conditions and have Emailed to tell me of their success. That makes me feel good. One lady is going through withdrawal and has Agoraphobia bad. She is going to try "i want to" and let me know how she does.
I watched this on tv, and it looked easy to prepare.
So much is coming at me as a caregiver, I'm missing the obvious. What was good today was I figure out how to use the remote phones as intercoms, since mom wants some way of getting my attention(I can't hear over the darn humidifier, and her room was warm last night).
What wasn't good is I'm completely aware of the salt content of the eggplant parm which mom had, and i'm going to have to be more careful, because of heart issues.
I can hear a cat outside, and mine are in the house. I hope it is the neighbours, I don't need another stray. It would be really bad if it is a female. Jasper is still a male. I don't have the money to get him fixed right now.
Melting a bit but there is no wind to speed it up. That is okay though, I'd rather it didn't get muddy. Going to stay like this for the next week. Might even rain.
I put a lamb roast in this morning at 250 F and left it there most of the day while I did other things. This is my preferred way to cook lamb so it is real tender.
I keep forgetting to order cornish hens. I like them even more than lamb.
The cookies are in the freezer and I am going to make soup out of the rest of the pumpkin. I have one left from the garden for later.
A very slow day today but that is okay since I have months to do the few things I need to do. Besides I'm a bit sore today.
I have a lot of laundry to fold and put away. I'd rather wash floors honestly. Can't just pile it up on the bed for later or the cats will sleep on it. I miss home support, they used to do it for me, but I'm trying to get by without them.
Next time I will use bits of sour cherry, it is less than half the rolled oats and a third what raisins are and a fifth what dates are. They are a nice soft cookie, but still a cookie.
Funny thing, I have made pumpkin pie with carrots cooked and mashed. One seventh the GI that pumpkin is and tastes the same.
I'm having fun with this. Now if I can remember to stand on the scale.
9:00 at night and I'm making pumpkin hermit cookies. Reduced the sugar, put in oatmeal instead of dates and raisins, used a cup of pumpkin (hi GI) Brown sugar instead of white. But they are still cookies so I can't eat them all at once.
I toast and two eggs for breakfast. hamburger vegetable soup for lunch. Cabbage and rice with onions and hamburger for supper. An apple for desert and a few cookies.
Was a nice day. spent some time on a tractor pushing snow out of the way. Going to watch a movie and go to bed.
Melted a bit today, nice enough that Jasper spent the day outside. I should have joined him but was content to just split some fire wood. One of my hobbies is wine making, but I drink very little of it so have to find people to give it too. It is appreciated but I just make too much. I have to down scale or quit all together. Thought about making cookies but didn't.
Looking for something to make with apple pie filling other than pie. Muffins maybe.
Hope to bottle some wine tomorrow and take the tractor to the neighbours for fuel while it is still warm but not raining.
Sitting right around freezing. I lit the fire anyway even though it isn't that cold in here. Bit of a breeze even though it isn't enough to take the snow out of the trees. Supposed to rain Tuesday. Of course I'd rather it didn't. I think I'll have oatmeal for breakfast with an apple. Soup for lunch. Nothing planned for the day.
