Not-So-Much Monday

Tuesday, I have something to do and may not have  a chance to write or desire to type. Monday, I had a sandwich for lunch since I was not hungry for breakfast and awoke at 10:30 am. Tommy had vegetables later. I had a craving for brownies. One of the $0.98 pouches of fudge brownies was a treat. I told Tommy we will only have these once each month. He was very agreeable. I used olive oil in them because he hates bananas and I had no applesauce. 

Then, for dinner I decided to have salmon croquettes and squash and onions, and grape tomatoes.  Contrary to my usual method of cooking--frying, these croquettes were baked in the oven. I was ready to try them in the air fryer but remembered I had not washed it yet. So, in the oven they went. 

The farthest either of us went was to the utility room for Tommy and to the mailbox for me. And, we don't care that we are here with nowhere to go. Well, I had somewhere I wanted to go, but decided against it. I have something to return to Lowe's. But, it will wait. 

The cardiologist's nurse called me. He had said the two statin meds he gave me for cholesterol were the only two for me to take. Another doctor, not a cardiologist, gave me one I asked her about. Well, today the cardiologist said he would send that for me. So, there! I have been taking it for several days, and it appears I am not in pain.

I worry about the blockage in my arteries, but I have taken measures to amend my diet. I don't 100% eat right, but everything is altered some to improve my health. I know I need the stint. 

Tuesday, Tommy drove me to the doctor. I am home now, and exhausted. 

The other two pieces for the air fryer came--on the porch when we got home. While in Cullman I picked up the extra shelf for the freezer. 

Dinner tonight will be mostly vegetables and fruit for dessert. 

Today was a beautiful day. It was such a contrast to the stormy weather in North Carolina and north of there. How was your day? Any bargains out there? Tomorrow is the day ads change and I do not see anything exciting. Do you?

  1. My brother has a stint. Said he feels a lot better since he got it.Well worth the cost according to him. Mother had a valve replaced when she was in her mid 70s and said the same thing.

    We have had light bands of rain over the last 2 days. My dried beans are reblooming so fingers crossed I get more off them. Onions not so good since it was too dry then too wet but at least I have some since the recall of onions is now ALL the onions.

    Hubby found Lysol cleaning spray for about 1/4 less than we have found it in other places. He picked up 2 bottles(limit). It should cover us for a year with what we have.

    1. Chef,
      I have not seen Lysol at all, but I bought it BOGO in February, got it knowing I had one at home.

      Being in a hospital for anything right now does not seem safe.

  2. Someone follows bargains in the color supplements; I tend to just buy what I want.

      I am glad you have Someone! I do both, but surprisingly everything goes on sale eventually.
