Terrific Tuesday

Since we got another dozen eggs yesterday, I decided to make myself a couple of them along with some hash brown potatoes and sausages. I try to limit myself to eggs maybe once or twice a week, the rest of the time I usually have oatmeal and once a week or so I have raisin toast.

After finishing eating I did the hand washing, loaded up the dishwasher, and started it up. It is somewhat funny, as I had to wash the frying pan before I cooked my eggs and hash browns, then I washed it after I was done with it, and then since Kathleen made herself some eggs, hash browns and ham, I had to wash it again when she was finished with it.

Anyway, after finishing in the kitchen I went into the living room and read the paper. The mail came just after I finished the paper, so I brought it in and opened it up. I think that I had four catalogs and all but my interest statement from the bank the rest was junk. Luckily today was the recycling day so I took it out and put it with the rest of the recycling.

After looking at a couple magazines, I went outside and cut some wood to size for my son, Aaron, so that they will have some real firewood to burn. After finishing what I had on the side of the house, I dug up a laurel bush that Kathleen had pointed out as being too close to the climbing roses that are along the west fence. While I was doing that I also noticed a holy bush that was about three feet tall that was growing in with another rose bush.

Since I had worked up a bit of a sweat, I decided that I had better go inside and get cleaned up for my radiation appointment. It makes it hard when the weather is so nice, to stop and clean up and change clothes in the middle of the day.

My appointment went well; I was only there about fifteen minutes today, which will probably be the norm. I even got to see the doctor. She asked if I was experiencing any problem with diarrhea and if I had to get up more in the middle of the night. Luckily I was able to say no to both of these.

She also asked how I was feeling in general, and I was glad to say that the last two days I have had more energy than I have had in the last couple of weeks. We left the doctor's office by 1311 and on our way home.

Once home, I stayed in my clothes as Kathleen has a doctor's appointment at 1545, so thought that I would just do some inside the house stuff. First I emptied the dishwasher and put things away, and then I made myself some lunch. I made some open-faced melted cheese and ham sandwiches. I used sharp cheddar on one and medium cheddar on the other.

I also had a couple oranges, to round the meal off. I did not want to do what I did yesterday and go too long before I had something to eat.

After Kathleen's doctor's appointment, we stopped by Fred Meyer's to pick up her prescriptions and picked up some grocery items. Kathleen bought a couple steaks; both together weighed less than a pound, which is more than we need for a meal. However, by the time we got home it was 1745, just in time for the "State of the Union" address.

Since Kathleen did not feel cooking like the steaks tonight, she put a couple Mexican frozen dinners, not quite steak, but okay occasionally. Kathleen headed upstairs right after dinner, so here I am listening to the president's speech and blogging.

Well, I know that I will not be doing anything too terribly exciting for the rest of the evening so I will just say good night.
