Lunch this week

 

The greens with cran-raisins, Mandarine oranges and sunflower seeds had a dressing, which I poured on after the photo. That's chicken salad too. And a nice ripe tomato with a bit of sea salt.

I thought I couldn't possibly eat it all.  A week ago tomorrow when those fevers started, my appetite was gone. But today I'm feeling much better, no fevers. Just have to pace myself. I do one thing, then rest. Both need to take about the same amount of time for it to balance so I don't feel overwhelmed.

Wheee...things are moving along. That refers to getting my dear gut back to normal...whatever that is. Hope all these meds will be the answer...but you know how hopes for meds are...that and $2 will get you a cup of coffee. Just kidding. I don't like having lots of new chemicals in my body at once. Where's the balance in that?

I hope everyone has a good lunch today!

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.

Dibs and dabs

Now for some dibs and dabs...meaning all sorts of not-so-great nor very interesting news. 

Here's my breakfast the other morning...

Yep, I ate just the apple pie filling! And then wanted something else, so had some Italian Bread toasted with heart healthy butter.

I am celebrating that my Dr. said I can stop taking the med which gives me bruises as a side effect of thinning my blood. Yay.

No, I haven't been fighting any big dogs or people!

Not very pretty, and when warmer weather comes I'll be glad to no longer have to wear long sleeves and long pants!

I got a kick out of my oldest son's Mother's Day card with Snoopy's wishes. Very similar to the birthday card I purchased for this same son!

I also recently sent a card with many little cards inside it to his daughter who just graduated from college. Oh well...it's a season of Charlie Brown's friends making fun cards to share!

I walked around Lake Tomahawk Tues...so have lots of photos of ducklings to share. Every time I got out of breath, I luckily found something to take photos of!

Today's quote:

Help me to be less fearful of the measure of time, and more fully alive in the time that simply is. Help me to live time, not just to simply use it; to breathe it in, and return it in acts of love and presence.
