Friday

 I do not have a uti! But, I do have an antibiotic. This ailment must be a sinus infection. Did I say that Tommy took the specimen to my doctor? 

Today, Tommy resolved his problem with the exorbitant price of his insulin. He transferred his prescription to Walgreen's and is charged $35 as opposed to $70 at Walmart. "Walmart's price is within Medicare guidelines." Th    at is just not right. 

I am encouraging him to transfer all his prescriptions to Walgreen. Walmart is about a 6-mile round trip while Walgreen is a 1-mile round trip. 

While we made the short trip for his insulin, he asked me if I wanted to go home and eat out of the refrigerator or get something to eat while we were out. When I said just go look in the refrigerator, he said okay. That was nice of him to think maybe I wanted something else. He went in the grocery store to get me apples and brought back a chicken breast. Tonight, I want nothing yet, but he found a cooked breast for me. 

We were supposed to meet someone in Cullman on Saturday, but I called and cancelled. 

Okay, he has a piece of sugarless blueberry pie. When he finishes his, I will get him to bring me some pie. 

I don't understand how I can be so ill and have so few upper respiratory symptoms. But, I have to go.

Corn and blueberry pie is a good enough dinner. 

The Reason I Have Felt So Awful/ Blueberries and Strawberries

 Each day, I felt worse, lethargic. But, I thought about it. I was sleeping about 10 hours a day in three or four sessions, but I never felt one bit better. 

As I thought about my predicament, I decided a new med was the problem. Sure enough, when I quit, I started feeling better. I hate that!

I have done practically nothing for three days--no dishwashing, no clothes folding, nothing productive. Except for one meal, I had cooked or prepared dinner. I suppose that is something. 

Tonight, for dinner we each had another pork chop that I cooked yesterday along with green beans and tomato. Those cheap pork chops, $1.99/lb, in family pack were very irregular and thin. I like thin pork chops. But, they were delicious. I only put a bit of salt and pepper on them and put them in a browning bag. I have three more left and will do something else with them. 

I had five pounds of commercially frozen blueberries thawing in the refrigerator. So, I made a cobbler. The recipe was for an 8x8" pan, but since I was using a 9"x13" pan, I doubled the recipe, only I didn't. I doubled the blueberries and butter for bottom of the pan. I did not double the cobbler part. So, it was very juicy and lacked much cobbler topping to go with the berries. 

There are negligible carbs in tomatoes and green beans, so dinner was practically carb free. We could eat a few carbs without having them from dinner.

I still have a gallon of home-picked and frozen blueberries waiting to use. I won't use them immediately. They were going to be used for the cobbler until I got the 5 lbs., half-thawed. I think maybe muffins for the freezer, another smaller cobbler, and a blueberry pie. Tommy said he will eat the remainder of what I cooked today, plain. Works for me. My friend will give me more soon. 

There are still strawberries I froze last summer, so we need to use those. We never eat jellied or jammed topping on anything since I never make biscuits or pancakes. So, maybe just thawed will be great. He loved the strawberry poke cake that he was sure he would not like, so maybe that, but probably not. I love a bowl of almost-thawed strawberries if I don't have fresh.
