Another Miscellaneous Saturday

Yes, this Saturday has also been a bit miscellaneous.  I am very grateful to have had this Saturday.  I will like it better when Matt is more rested and acclimated to the medications he has to take, so he can be busy, too.  He has spent the day downloading and setting up LoseIt! to help him monitor his food and exercise, and he has a diabetes helper app to help him track the blood sugar.  So far, everything seems to be  going all right.

I went for my walk, and came home and did a few miscellaneous things that needed doing, and then mowed the lawns.  When I was out front, I noticed how covered in blooms the one Simplicity pink rose by the front walk is.  Thought you should see it. 

Even before I went out to mow the lawn, I went looking for something in the side compartment of my desk.  Big mistake.  It made this lovely crapalanche for me to clean up.  Fortunately, I eventually did have a chance to sort it all out (and throw out a bunch of crap).  Below is the result of my efforts.

There is still the small matter of the phone cables that I need to get rid of.  I don't think we'll ever need them again now that we have not only cell phones, but wireless handsets for the landline.
The cables over by the wall are always a mess.  Too many extension cords because I have two printers in this room, and this computer will only talk to one of them.  Fortunately, the laptop speaks to both.

I have also gotten all the laundry done.  This happened before 10 pm.  For some reason, this is a rare occurrence lately.  Something usually happens to delay the laundry.  Not today.  All done and put away except the stuff that has to hang dry.

A little superstitious about what to wear tomorrow.  I could wear what I was going to wear last Sunday, but maybe it's not a good idea.  So much went wrong after that.  Hm.  I have to quit being so superstitious.  Real problem with wearing it this week is that it is probably too cold to wear it.  Last Sunday was lovely and sunny.  It's cloudy and COLD out there tonight.  Supposed to get up to 64 tomorrow, but that's the high, and usually shows up in the afternoon.  Sunday morning is going to be chilly.  Calls for something more substantial than the dress I had in mind.  Oh well.  This is Oklahoma in the spring.

I should also say a few words of thanks to all the friends who have reminded us of their care and concern this week.  It feels good to know we are so well loved by friends both near and far.  The words of support mean a lot.  We know you will be on this journey with us, and knowing Matt, it may well lead to some really good tasting food that is actually good for you.  Just this evening, I made an even healthier version of my chili.  It tasted really good, was only 245 calories  and 7 grams of fat per 1 cup serving.  Sodium was 464mg, carbs 27g, and protein 20.2g.  The sodium is acceptable for limited sodium diets when you consider processed foods and my usual recipe contain much more.

I hope we can modify other things to make them healthier, and we will be sharing our successful recipes, have no fear.

Time to call an end to this.  My brain is still not completely back to normal after this wild and crazy week.
