Thursday, Physical Therapy

     I have my first appointment today  with a physical therapist at 10:45.  I hope they can work a miracle with this back of mine, that seems to be spiraling out of control.  Spasms all the time.  It is hard to sit or stand, getting up and down is with caution.  I can walk forever, it is just the up and down that gets me.  As I am a busy person this aggravation has to stop!

     Because I have been trying to eat down our pantries and freezers before we move, I am finding that I am out of many things and cooking is becoming a challenge.  I really need to pay more attention before I start to cook as I cannot just run downstairs and grab something.

     We are out of dried beans of almost all varieties.  Also we have no cakes mixes, no canned veggies, no frozen veggies,our pasta is down to a few boxes.  We have no tomato products left except those I froze or canned. Now it is go to the cupboard and see what you have and try and make a meal out of that.  Which is not a bad idea and certainly saves money. There are just so many odd things in the pantry.  I really need to do a pantry challenge.

     Yesterday I made a pot of German sausage soup, which consists of, potatoes, onions, a lb of sausage, a can of chicken broth, celery and a white sauce made with butter and milk. It was delicious and well received, just good old basic soup.

     We went to the grocery stores last night and did a small stock up on a few items. I have not bought tomato sauce and tomato paste in a long while. It is weird for me not to have a good storage to pull from.  Right now it is either gone or down to one bottle.  I had to buy olive oil, canned chilies,apple cider vinegar. I even bought a box of brownie mix.  Hubs questioned me on that, but sometimes I need fast and easy.

     The downstairs freezer has four large bags of frozen tomatoes and I plan on doing a huge pot of spag sauce and then freezing that sometime next week. We also have 4 containers of cool whip in the freezer that need to be used, so I see desserts going out with the meals I make for others.

     I sewed quit a bit yesterday and will do so again today.  Did not get through 10 piles but got a good start on the mountain that is in there.  The shop was busy with many people dropping off, so it is not like what I sewed yesterday made a dent, but it is the season.

     Today I will go to physical therapy (say a prayer) then home to sew.  I have two of my piles from yesterday just waiting by the machine.  So today's work load if possible is:

1. hem three pairs of jeans
2. hem three pairs of dress pants
3. hem a formal dress
4. hem and take in a dress
5. alter 5 shirts
7. hem a pair of pants
8. letter mens patch, motorcycle vest patches, and hem leather chaps
9. try and get to a pile of 12 hems and see what I can do before tomorrow

     I pulled what I thought was sausage out of the freezer yesterday and it turned out to be ground beef, so I fried it up and added taco seasoning, we will be having tacos tonight.

Well wish me luck I need it.  But the tile painting in the bathroom is done.  Yippee!

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

  1. When are you planning on moving Kim? It would take me about 6 months for the two of us to eat through the freezer, unless I had a lot of dinner guests. Maybe that is what I need to do at least weekly.

  3. Having physical therapy every day? That should help. I had physical therapy twice a week and then had to drive and hour. The therapist said I undid all he did for me. I hope this works out to cure your back problem.

    2. do you know what you did which means they had to do to a MRI ?
      My 47 yr old daughter has messed her's up so bad from lifting wrong (bend over instead of stooping) and then was on steroids which sucked the calcium out of her bones... now she's doing injections like me for different reasons

  5. Kim, I hope the visit with your physical therapist helps to relieve your back pain. It's good that you are eating down your pantry. It can be trying to figure out a meal to make when you do that. The German sausage soup sounds delicious.

  7. Cigarette smoking is the number one risk factor for lung cancer,cigarette smoking is linked to about 80% to 90% of lung cancer deaths. Lung cancer is the most common form of the disease in the world and 90 percent of all cases are caused by cigarette smoking. About 10 to 15 percent of smokers develop lung cancer — although they often die of other smoking-related causes like heart disease, stroke or emphysema. lung cancer often goes unnoticed in its early stages. As the disease develops, a persistent cough  develop and chronic cough worsen. including chest pain, shortness of breath, hoarseness, bloody fluid coughed up from the respiratory tract, and frequent bouts of bronchitis or pneumonia. Sometimes all your bones begin pains or hurts you so bad, headaches, dizziness,I was so pissed off and tired of my life,after I developed lung cancer from cigarette smoking and I was at the point of death,through my boredom I was surfing the internet then  I came across re Dr James herbal mix. who said he can cure lung cancer with his herbal mix and got herbal cleansers from smoking too.I really thought it was a joke until I have gotta try. when I contacted him,he said yes he can. so little time I thought  about it and bought the herbal medicine which I took couple of week to get to me.within one week of taken it I started seeing  a lots of changers till  I was totally cured. his treatment is so unique,I never thought i will be able to be free from Lung Cancer and smoking treat too.He saved my life and I'm strong and healthy right now.You can speak with Him direct on his mobile/whatsapp  +2348152855846
