AI...A Birthday, Steak Pattie, Larry and Spooky



Good morning, friends... It's been a week.  Sorry I haven't been around reading blogs, but I think I was just pooped.  You've been where I am... lots to do and it never seems to end.  
Larry had his six-month BCG treatment on Monday.  It's the first time it rocked his world and not in a good way.  We got home, he put the new screen door on the back entrance...we had ordered the cat house for our feral cat, Miss Kitty...so he put that together and we placed it...worked on his computer for a while...nothing strenuous or out of the ordinary for him.  We ate lunch (a pitiful ribeye you'll see later in the post).  He settled in on the recliner sofa for his usual YouTube watching videos about his lasers...later, we both sat down to watch Grantchester on PBS, then getting late, we hit the sack.
Next morning, about 1:30am, I feel him get up.  He went to the restroom then shutting the bedroom door, he went to the back playroom to watch some tv.  I fell back to sleep. He said what woke him was the feeling of extreme fatigue!  I got up about 3:00am, went in search of him...finding him exactly like the photo below.  He said he couldn't explain it...one minute fine, next minute horribly tired.
Well, I know I'm a nurse but good grief...he was going through something I couldn't fix!  So... I threatened him...lol...  "You stay on that sofa all day buster..."..."NO getting up to do anything"! And so, the day went.  By nightfall, he was feeling almost normal.  I had gotten online to look at the side effects of BCG...and there is quite a few...fatigue being the one I was concerned with...but the article calmed me enough that I didn't have to call the doctor's office.  I just gave him anti-inflammatory meds every 6 hours...and said a few prayers.  It all must have worked because waking up the next morning, he said he was back to his old self...
I hate cancer...  

 

Both the top photo and this one were done with AI.  I tried to find a photo of me to use but none worked.  I wear my hair up...true...I wear glasses...true...but no way am I that pretty! lol
Nor is Libby that old looking!  Oh well...it was fun trying it out with Bing Creator.



Happy 51st Birthday to our daughter, Crystal Anne!  We are so proud of her...and love her, Over the Moon!




All grown up...where'd 51 years GO???






These are supposed to be rib-eyes.  I never noticed the "Rib-eye Steak THIN" on the package!!  That much money for two scrawny pieces of meat???  I'm so mad at myself for not paying better attention!!!  But in all fairness to me...lol...They've never produced "thin steaks"!



Sad looking...As big as a breakfast pork chop!!  I just cooked them in the air fryer!  







Here we are at Dr Espy's office for Larry's BCG treatment.





Here Larry is, the next day!  I have to be honest and say, it scared me.




So, I cooked...It helps calm my nerves.  I made vanilla ice cream for him and peach cobbler...





This is Monday, after the treatment...no problems yet...the new screen door he hung before fatigue grabbed ahold of him the next day.  And yes, I'll be painting that metal door white.





This is the curtain I hung on the back patio door.  Lace...I love lace.






I made him blueberry pancakes this morning...





There's no post without Sloane in it...lol...she keeps us centered.





I roasted a chicken in the air fryer...It wasn't burnt...there was brown sugar in the rub.






Here's the cat house for Miss Kitty...pretty easy to put together.





I received this wonderful card in the mail!!  Thanks to Ann ...who makes me smile even when I don't feel like it... It's adorable!!





We ate at Daves Hot Chicken.  I ordered the "no-spice" so it wouldn't be hot.  Larry ordered the "medium-spice"...Don't think he'll do that again...lol...and the fries were fantastic!





It was good! 







We also ate at Muffin's Cafe in Marlin, Texas.  Great breakfast!  It was a 30-minute drive.






And finally...this photo I grabbed off our security system...What the heck is that light??  Spooky...I had the same thing appear on our back door a while back...what the heck?



Well...guess that's about it for me today...oh...Larry just left to take his 98 yr old Dad to the ER.  He has a pacemaker, and a wire is sticking out of his skin...doctor said to get the ER right now...Say a prayer, would you?
Love you all...so until next time,
