Reflections of My Life

I ordered the new pen yesterday and it is out for delivery today? That was fast. I am not crazy about getting a delivery on a Sunday because the mail person seems to have a problem coming into our building. Not the regular mail man who comes into the part of the building connected to us. So I will see. I am still hoping to find the original one somewhere in here.

I am starting off my day by making more keto shakes for ice cream. For some reason I do not get enough food unless I have one of them. Then going to work on my December budget sheet. I am thinking of adding a sweet potato to my grocery list and have it on Thanksgiving. That is one of the vegetables I miss that is carby. Squashes are another, though they are keto just have to eat less. Saving the pumpkin keto ice cream for Thanksgiving too.
 

My new pen was delivered. But the mail person left it outside the doors that come into the building. I normally would not care but it was a tiny package and would be easy for someone to pick up. As soon as Amazon said it was delivered I went down to get it. Perfect pen! Just like the other one.

Right now I am working on straightening my bookcase out. I have too many books but I don't want to get rid of any of them. So need to make room for them. My bookcase also holds my CD's and that takes up 2 whole shelves. I am working on it but little bit at a time. Not going to work too hard today since I am still tired from Wednesday, Thursday & Friday. I think I might sit in the recliner and watch some old movies first.
 
Just got home from spending a few hours in the ER. I would say it was a waste of time, but I at least I know my heart is good and I got my blood work all done. I have been having a horrible pain in my left side and it was not going away. Had it for the last 3 days. So they checked me out and gave me Motrin and sent me home. Poor Sonny! I called him at 5 AM to come pick me up. I had no other way to get home sine I had called 911 to take me there.

I wanted to order a bottle of Motrin since it worked better than the Tylenol I have been using. So I placed a grocery order and that will be coming between 1 and 3 today. I ordered the ingredients to make homemade chicken noodle soup. Yes, noodles! It is the one food I swear makes me better but it doesn't work as well without the noodles. I figured if I am eating more carbs with that I may as well add a couple of sweet potatoes to the list. :) That is as sweet I want to go.

Yes, starches are good for us, soothing too and especially gentle on the stomach.

That after all the tests they did my heart was good and the pain was not coming from that. Where is the pain coming from? Maybe a pulled muscle? I think they did not know anymore than I did. That is why I do not trust them. I have seen too much in my past and then I decide to give them a chance. No help. I have to make an appointment for a follow up with my primary care doctor.
 
I can certainly understand that. I can't believe they couldn't figure out what was wrong for sure. I'm glad you're ok though. It is hard to trust them. I see a lot in the ER here. I only trust certain ones. The new ones make me nervous.

I wish that was true for me. High carbs are anything but gentle on my stomach. I think I like the noodles in the chicken soup because that is how my Mom fixed it. Especially when I was sick. I remember when I was in my early 20's and I was sick and had my own apartment. She came over right after work and had a bag of groceries. Then she set to work making homemade chicken noodle soup for me. I got better!

I did buy 2 sweet potatoes though on keto or low carb diet women are encourage to include sweet potatoes during certain time of the month. Has something in them that is good for your hormones. That is not why I got them though. I am past that.
 
I will be having a quiet day here. Sonny is spending the day with his family at his daughter's. Jeff is having the Thanksgiving dinner that is being served in the Community room delivered to his apartment. That is how he wants it. Just him and all the ghosts. I will be having my soup and I am quite happy with that.

People feel sorry for me because I am alone on a holiday but believe me I am not sad or miserable. I love not having to prepare food for others. Don't get me wrong I love to cook but lately, I don't look forward to it. That is why I prepared the soup as soon as the groceries got here yesterday. So I just have to reheat it.

I have been watching Northern Exposure in the evening now. The two stars, Rob Morrow and Janine Turner have a YT channel called Northern Disclosure. It a fun channel where they discuss all the shows, the writing, the various people in production, how it was set up, etc. So it got me going back to rewatch the whole thing again. The first time I saw it was about 2019 but it was on television from 1990-1995. I never saw it back then. It is a good show.

Kat, I’m so glad you went to a doctor, even if you didn’t find an answer. An online friend of many years complained of intermittent pains on his left side. He didn’t trust doctors so took OTC meds for a couple of days and then he disappeared forever. He was an octogenarian widower so no one for me to contact. My emails to him went unanswered. Again, I’m glad you’ve ruled out heart problems.
