Good morning, friends...Just a little update on my sister Ruth Ann's cancer treatments.
She's just finished up her 8th out of 12 chemo treatments, for her colon cancer. She had a CT Scan yesterday to see if chemo is working...we'll know more later, maybe next week? I think it's finally starting to wear on her. Her hair is just now starting to fall out but hopefully, it all won't fall out...she had super thick hair so maybe she won't have to cut it all off, we'll see. She's also getting upset a lot, again like she was at the beginning, just after we found out she was ill. Anger spurts...(which makes me seriously doubt that she's still taking her Zoloft) especially at people who simply dare to ask her a question. The poor auto mechanic got his hat handed to him for no reason at all except that he dared ask the same question twice. I had to reign her in at that point! She "sort of" apologized to him after that. I need a gallon of ice cream to help me with my nerves...lolol
But we'll make it hopefully, by the grace of God and prayer.
This is Ruth Ann and me several months ago.
On to brighter subjects...The dress Sloane is wearing? I dug it out of my "memory" stash of my children and grandchildren's saved clothing. I knew they'd come in handy some day! Our granddaughter wore it 28 years ago...now our greatgran, Sloane. I stored it in a Ziploc bag for all these years...looks new! And fits Sloane, perfectly.
We bought her a walker. I keep her on Mondays, and she gave it a workout! lol
I made salmon patties again. We love them and they're so easy to make! LoCarb, as well since I used crushed pork rinds to mix in the batter with two eggs and seasonings.
Is it too early for Sloane to swim? Couldn't help myself...A little water and some plastic toys should give her some extra fun. Larry and I like to sit on the patio, so it'll be fun for all of us.
Breakfast this morning...vanilla granola, Kellog's Red Berries cereal, added chopped pecans and dried cranberries. Add some whole milk or 2% and you're good to go! I guess you could also use Almond Milk although, I've never used it.
Ever get frustrated with trying to wash out, then dry, your plastic freezer bags? Well, Larry heard me saying a few cuss, unsavory words, asked what my problem was...I told him it's ridiculous how much wasted time I spent on trying to dry bags out enough to put back in the storage box. If you're on a fixed income, you learn to reuse! I don't have to do it but it really does save money. Well, satisfied with my answer, off he went, out to his little shoppe of magical things and brought back in, a little fan! A 4" Duct fan! Like what's in your bathroom, exhaust fan... Perfect for drying my bags!! Works in minutes...
Plug it in and it dries your bags!
Here's the box in case you want to order one.
Well, I guess I'll end things here. Hopefully, you all are safe and doing well. I know a few of you are undergoing medical procedures so I'll be praying for you... Have a good day and until next time...
Enjoy your holiday on Monday (United States) and always, Remember, Honor and Respect those who Gave Their All...
