I gave him a small breakfast this AM and will skip feeding him dinner--- that's what the vet had me do the last time he was sick like this. Vet appointment scheduled for Wednesday. Kind of like kids, why does this always seem to happen on a weekend?<br />Cheers, SJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-44415752685848105572018-07-20T14:24:51.844-07:002018-07-20T14:24:51.844-07:00Thank you Debbie for sharing this.

They understand that my health varies from day to day and even from hour to hour. It makes it really hard to plan ahead.<br /><br />I so wish my zucchini was doing as well as yours is. My hubby is desperately wanting to zucchini bread and we are sharing all of the garden with our kids so I need lots! One year we did have way too much and it got out of hand. The boys decided that they were going to use the huge overgrown zuchs as baseball bats and hit other things that had rotted (like tomatoes) with it. What a mess but they had fun! :) Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-82493678372363593772018-07-18T11:57:19.722-07:002018-07-18T11:57:19.722-07:00Thanks for letting me know that.

Even though it's disappointing to you, and probably him a little, I'm sure he would rather know than think of you having a hard time all afternoon. Then, they will be more free to ask again if they know you will tell them when you can't, if that makes sense, without feeling like you might or might not be suffering the whole time. You will get another turn:). <br /><br />I'm glad you are finding some good things to watch and read while you have to stay down. I am also picking all the lettuce I can, as it's been really hot here, too, and it's just a matter of time until it bolts. The zucchini is going crazy--like 25 or more in the past very few days. I picked it heavily yesterday and just glanced at it this morning in the 2 minutes I ran past it and THERE ARE MORE!! ladies, there's a limit to how much I can use. The one that got past me and is huge is going into the compost heap! I'm already alienating my relatives by appearing with armfuls:). What a fun problem to have!

My friend who flew Southwest paid to get on board in the early group. She could have saved that money because they boarded her first anyway because she used the wheelchair service.<br /><br />Also, when I check in, I double check that the wheelchair service will be there at the arriving gates. Even though I requested that very service when I booked my tickets, there have been more then one times when the counter person said "oh, you want the service at every gate?", Like that was news to them..<br />CHeers, SJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-18067917546336445962018-07-17T22:21:30.989-07:002018-07-17T22:21:30.989-07:00Wow, good for you on the zucchini!

But I totally get it. My counselor used to tell me to make up two lists "Have to do" and "Want to do". That was the beginning for me in how I manage my energy.<br /><br />And most days, I have to figure out those lists on that day. I can't really plan far ahead.<br /><br />I hear you about having easy meals in the freezer! Frozen cheese pizzas bought on sale are my go-to favorites. I can add other toppings at will..or not. Yum. I also have a few favorite one-dish type frozen dinners that I buy on sale and keep on hand.<br /><br />Will you share your YouTube finds? That's one resource I have yet to explore at all. <br /><br />Way to go on the lettuce! My garden must today was to harvest the zucchini from my garden here at the apartment.Between what I harvested today and over the weekend, I put up six ziplocks of shredded squash about 2 cups each although I only eyeballed it. Phew. I was tired after doing that and cleaning up.I have one to cook tonight for dinner. The rest of dinner will be leftovers.<br />Take good care my friend,<br />SJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-56670376337092077962018-07-17T13:27:53.037-07:002018-07-17T13:27:53.037-07:00Hope you feel better, Debbie.
