Avon, I am a good cook, but gourmet is out of my league.

I would probably make pork wontons, because they are easy, you can make them a day ahead, and they are as yummy as fresh the next day.

...

So I got a call from the home care nurse - good to know some do phone - and told her it was fine to come right over.
Well there was a knock in like two minutes, but it was Dr. Nellie, my fave doc from Seniors First. She said she was nearby and hadn't seen me in a while so just came to check on me. Wowsers!!!

She just started examining me when the nurse came - they didn't know each other (different programs), but the Dr shared vitals as she examined me. All is well, then the Dr left, nurse still had some questions.

First thing she said was "Is she your doctor?" - and I knew what she meant because Dr. Nellie is a bit of a whirlwind, dresses cool/funky etc.
So I had to explain to the nurse how I am with both home care teams, and she said how very lucky I am - don't I know it!!!

Hm, I gained a bit of weight. Nice to have a good appetite, but I obviously wasn't very careful this past week.
When I had to stand to get weighed and the nurse saw how hard it was to do that, and each step, was - then she said she understood why I wasn't very mobile.
When we were done, she asked if she could give me a hug, she was very sweet.

Poor Vader cat got confused. She came out for love from Dr. Nellie, who returns her feelings - but then the 'strange' nurse came, so Vader went to hide.
She got used to the same nurses coming, and now it's usually a different one each week.

I ordered a BP monitor from Amazon yesterday.
Today, ordered a walker from a mobility company here - all they had in stock in the model I want was silver, so she ordered me red. I just figure why not have colour, and I dislike black things though sometimes they cannot be avoided.

My son said if I had to get a plain black one, he would have one of his Auto body buddies do up some flames or something. Actually he thought I should have purple.

...sorry this is so long, I just let it all hang out!

So glad hear how your doing Natalka..dont worry about long your posting ..its so awesome know ..those nurses and doctor is taken good care of you ..ohhh nothing wrong with red walker .. it will make you feel right sexy now Natalka ..red is in ..just trying make ya 😊 smile sweetie...so glad you got good appetite those days ..have yourself wonderful evening and please take extra care yourself sweetie

Back from doing laundry at my aunt's house. At Wendy's I had a baked potato and a garden salad but also a small frosty. I know the frosty isn't vegan lol. Just wanted a treat, sue me lol. My aunt also gave me a couple bags of food from my cousin. She said she was trying to put more vegan foods. Yes I know I'm a pain in the butt.

Good morning!

@Newfiescreech, I think you've set the record around here for power-shopping!! That mall near Parry Sound...was the the Cookstown, now a Tanger outlet? We stop in there every time we head to TO...some really nice stores and bargains there, best place to buy Crocs sandals. You were only 1 1/2 hours from me! So your big shopping is done, now the madness of the holiday season starts for you, so much volunteer work you do! What's the population if your city? It sounds like an idyllic Christmas community!

@avoncallingu, that's one way to clear out your fridge before Christmas! That's something I have to get to here, but tossing stuff out that we purchased for ingredients, yet I couldn't toss what we didn't use. Until now. Give sweet Tootie a snuggle for me.

@GoJays, once again you've made me smile this morning...that "blind driver" van was hilarious!

@walkonby, I've always hesitated a few seconds, looked both ways if I was first in line, at a green light. Last year that saved my life: I got a green light, looked to my left to see a transport truck barrelling right through a red light! Walks, I would surely have died, getting hit on my side by that huge truck. I drove home trying to keep from crying from being so frightened, thinking of what might have happened. I get to that intersection now and still get chills. Thank heavens you also avoided an accident.

Ok! On with the day!
Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Good evening Lynn ..LOL power shopping it was lynn ..my poor 🦶 🦶 feet was so sore but today their gradually coming back to life ..yes !!

Morning gang.

Who's the idiot who forgot his entire work bag at home...?
This guy! Yup...forgot it all...not just a few papers laying on the desk, or a stack hidden underneath an unlabeled page...the entire thing...
So many jokes and one liners teed up here for our crowd...have at it friends.

Luckily there'e nothing critical I needed out of it today...
*sigh* winning start to the day...for sure.


Have a wonderful day folks.

[avoncallingu]

Good morning folks!
@Go Jays- great laughs this morning-as always!

@Dang er Dan - I guess that means that you can, basically, take a day off and sliiiide -conversations at the watercooler- 3 hour lunch- power walk up and down the stairs... Enjoy, because tomorrow is going to be a busy day, I would think.

Well the roof workers are being diligent today-pounding away for the past hour.

Oh, for any Justin Bieber fans-(yeah, right) apparently he has taken up residence with his new wife at the fabulous home at Puslinch Lake-basically just down the road from here.

Well, I need to get moving, I guess-so, have a brilliant day!

See ya later, alligators!
