GOOD AFTERNOON

                                

I HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING AN AWESOME DAY TODAY SO FAR. MY DAY HAS BEEN OK SO FAR. I GOT UP AT 9:45 THIS MORNING. HAD MY DIET PEPSI, TOOK A COUPLE TYLENOL, CAUSE OUT OF NO WHERE I WAS HIT WITH A MIGRAIN. TYLENOL WORKED, MIGRAIN IS GONE. I HAD A LIGHT BREAKFAST. JUST 2 PIECES OF TOAST WITH MY OLIVIO BUTTER AND STRAWBERRY PRESERVES. I'M GOOD TO GO UNTIL DINNER NOW.

YESTERDAY FELT SO GREAT, DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. BUT TODAY I AM SUFFERING. MY CHILD, SWEET AND INNOCENT REBECCA, YEA RIGHT I MEAN HURRICANE REBECCA HAS LITERALLY TRASHED MY HOUSE. SO NOW I HAVE DOUBLE THE WORK TO DO. OH WELL, PART OF BEING A MOM RIGHT? MY AGENDA TODAY IS CLEAN 3 OF MY 4 ROOMS IN THIS APARTMENT. WHICH WILL BE LIVINGROOM, KITCHEN AND BATHROOM. THE BEDROOM CAN WAIT BECAUSE WHEN REBECCA IS FINISHED EATTING HER LUNCH, SHE WILL BE GOING DOWN FOR A NAP, NO MATTER IF SHE WANTS ONE OR NOT. IF I WERE TO LET HER STAY UP, SHE WOULD TRASH A ROOM I ALREADY CLEANED, SO NAP SHE GOES, LOL. I HAVE ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH BACK AND LEG PAIN. SOMETIMES IT IS SO BAD I WILL ACTUALLY FALL TO THE FLOOR IF THERE ISN'T A CHAIR NEXT TO ME TO SIT. WHEN I DO DISHES NOW, I KEEP A CHAIR NEXT TO ME TO SIT WHEN THE PAIN IS SO BAD I CAN'T STAND NO LONGER. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I GOT CANCER AND HAD ALL THESE SURGERIES AND CHEMO TREATMENTS. IT REALLY TOOK A TOLL ON MY BODY. I AM 45 YEARS OLD AND 99% OF THE TIME I FEEL 95 YEARS OLD. I KNOW MOST OF MY PROBLEM CAN BE BLAMED ON BEING SO OVER WEIGHT, BUT IF I COULD WORK OUT OR JOG I WOULD. BUT RIGHT NOW I CAN'T, NOT WITH THE LUNG ISSUE HANGING OVER ME. WALKING IS VERY HARD ON ME. I CAN'T BREATHE HALF THE TIME. ALL I CAN DO NOW, IS TRY TO EAT HEALTHY AND WATCH THE FAT INTAKE OF WHAT I EAT. THERE IS TIMES WHEN I EVEN FORGET TO EAT. WHICH IS NOT GOOD, I KNOW. TAKING THIS MEDICATION FOR MY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE TAKES AWAY MY APPETITE, SO IF I'M NOT HUNGRY I FORGET ABOUT EATTING.

         

DINNER TONIGHT IS GONNA BE A TREAT. GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST BASTED WITH A BUTTERY LEMON AND PARSLEY SAUCE, RICE PILAF AND A BIG GREEN SALAD. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. JIM WANTED SPAGHETTI AND HOT SAUSAGE, BUT I AM NOT IN THE MOOD TO MAKE SAUCE TODAY, NOT WITH ALL MY HOUSEWORK I HAVE TO DO.

I POSTED QUITE A FEW RECIPES THE PAST 24 HOURS IN MY RECIPE JOURNAL. I HOPE YOU WILL ALL FIND SOMETHING IN THEM THAT YOU LIKE. LATER TODAY I HAVE AN AWESOME RECIPE FOR MY CRABCAKES. YES IT IS MY OWN RECIPE. I LOVE EXPERIMENTING, AND THIS CRABCAKE MIXTURE CAME OUT PERFECT. WHEN I MAKE THEM, I SERVE THEM WITH STEAMED ASPARAGUS AND A NICE SALAD. NO NEED FOR ANYTHING ELSE, BECAUSE THE CRABCAKES ARE FILLING THEMSELVES. I DO BELIEVE YOU WILL LIKE THEM.

WELL, I GUESS I WILL GO NOW AND PUT MY CHILD DOWN FOR A NAP, AND GET MY HOUSEWORK DONE. THEN I WILL POST SOME MORE TASTY RECIPES FOR YOU. SO YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY, STAY WARM AND JUST ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY. YES IT IS COLD OUT TODAY, BUT THE SUN IS SHINING AND I AM ENJOYING THAT. IT IS SO MUCH BETTER THEN THE DOWNPOUR EMMA AND I WERE IN THE OTHER NIGHT.

DON'T FORGET I AM SENDING OUT CHRISTMAS CARDS THROUGH JLAND. IF YOU WANT ONE EMAIL ME WITH YOUR ADDRESS AND I WILL SEND YOU ONE, AND I HOPE I GET ONE FROM YOU ALSO. I LOVE CARDS, IT IS MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT CHRISTMAS. I HAVE GOTTEN 2 ALREADY FROM JLAND FRIENDS. I WAS SO HAPPY TO RECEIVE THEM. AND DON'T WORRY GIRLS, YOURS ARE ON THE WAY. THEY HAVE BEEN MAILED.

                      

THANK YOU DEBBIE FOR THIS NAME TAG. IT IS ADORABLE.
