ROAD TRIP BACK HOME

My trip home from my godmothers was so much less dramatic. Lucky and I drove about 3 hours and we were home. Note to self: do not leave at that time on a Friday.  It was uneventful and we did two pit stops for Lucky to pee and me stretch my legs. 

I ordered some food because I was too tired to cook. 

Until tomorrow...

SHOPPING WITH LUCKY

I'm still on my weekend trip. I assisted planting flowers after our trip to the store. Lucky came with us. 

She was really good. She is now stuck to me like glue. 

Until tomorrow...

ANOTHER ROAD TRIP

Lucky and I took another road trip today. First I had to go to the eye doctors to get my eyes checked. I take plaquinel so I have to get my eyes checked every six months. I don't want to lose my eye sight. 

I had to get my eyes dilated. Then I had to drive for hours. It only bothered me for about an hour. 

What bothered me more was that Google, trying to save me time, sent the whole way on back roads. It took me 5 hours to go what normally take 3.5-4 hours. At the last 30 minutes my phone died and I didn't have a charger. I had to stop at a gas station, ask to charge my phone and ended up buying a charger. 

Until tomorrow...

ELBOW MRI

Today was the MRI on my arm/elbow. I went all the way into the tunnel in a strange position. I had to lay on my side in the fetal position. My bum was touching the side of the tunnel. I had to keep my arm straight during the whole procedure. 

I should get the results tomorrow. 

Until tomorrow...

IS IT CANCER?

Spoiler alert: No it is not cancer. 

I had three spots I needed the doctor to look at and none of them are cancerous. I guess wearing that hat and swim shirt helped. Also the sunscreen. 

Until tomorrow...

HEARTBURN AGAIN

I had a meeting with my guy doctor. Unfortunately I have been having heartburn again. A few years ago I had horrible heartburn and had a awful test done. Then I had to have an endoscopy. Everything is fine but I had to start suculfrate every day. Of course when I was feeling better I stopped taking the medicine. 

I have to start taking suculfrate again. 😝

Until tomorrow...

NEEDLES IN A HAYSTACK

I promised a photo of my food. Here is a photo of the chili. 

Yes, those are green olives! It is a bulger wheat chili with green olives and two kinds of beans. 

I'm still working on the photos of the other recipes. 

Yesterday I finally found a place that has 🤞🏻 a needle for both my turntables. It has been a 10 year quest of mine. I have one turntable from the 1980s and another from the 1950s. The 1950 turntable is in a console and has a reel-to-reel inside. The console weighs a ton. I just want to make it work. I miss albums. 

Until tomorrow...

FINISHED THE CHOCOLATES

I woke up this morning with a decided to cook. First, I made vegan chili with burger wheat. The secret to it is green olives. 

Simultaneously, I made vegan bolognase sauce with plant-based crumbles. This tastes delicious. 

Then I made the filling for my chocolate cups. Since my hazelnut was destroyed, I used pistachio paste. It tastes okay. I put white chocolate, chopped almonds, golden raisins and pistachio nuts in the filling. It is not as good as the hazelnut paste but will do in a pinch. 

I will post photos tomorrow.

Yesterday I had to take Lucky to the vet in a rush. She was dehydrated again. She has kidney disease so once in a while she needs some fluids. Today she seems much better and went on a short walk. 

Until tomorrow...

MAKING CANDY

As well as other things, to day I made some candy. Chocolates, to be exact. It is going to be a two day process. First, I tempered some chocolate and painted it into molds shaped like a cup. Then I put the molds in the fridge and wait. When I tested one, it kept the shape. Tomorrow I will fill the cups with some goodies. 

I just love making candy. 

Until tomorrow...

WASN'T TODAY MY DAY OFF?

Today was supposed to be my day off but my clients were unwilling to let me take a day off today. I had a phone meeting various people emailing me about emergencies. So I ended up working about half the day.

I went to the acupuncturist and she worked on my left arm (the one that hurts). To be totally honest it feels better we'll see how it feels tomorrow when the acupuncture wears off.

Until tomorrow..
