I don't know your living situation but if you can when you feel up to it cook a few dishes that freeze well and divide into portions. Soups are great for the freezer. Put in smaller zip lock bags and freeze flat, they take up less room in the freezer. There are very tasty, easy ones that can just be made from canned stock, canned or frozen veg, canned chicken breast, or browning up some ground beef. Google the internet for 10 can or 8 can soups, they are great in a pinch. When you feel better you can go from scratch.

When I do scratch soups I take all the veggies to the table with my knife, peeler and cutting board. Pull the trash can over for scraps. I sit to peel and chop. I do it in order, cabbage, celery, onion, bell peppers go first into the pan with the stock or tomato base. Then carrots, potatoes, green beans, corn. Whatever the two of you like with meat of your choice

Beans or lentil soups are always good as well!!

My favorite, just a quick and easy simple potato soup with a milk/cream base. Some add other things but my Mom, it was just russet potatoes diced,in water till tender, don;t drain the water Then butter, milk and half and half, salt and pepper, simmer. This was the house sick soup, for any illness, anytime of year she went straight to the kitchen to make it. It is the same in my home. Son grown and married will ask me to make him a pot of potato soup when he feels bad.

One day at a time, don't push, do the best you can, much love!!

Good Morning, Kaila! It is the little things at home that make the difference. Especially your own coffee! 🙂

About the deliveries........do you have Walmart delivery or Instacart there? They are both easy to shop, order and receive the deliveries.

I'm going to look into InstaCart in my area, to see what places they could deliver from, thank you!
 
I'm very glad that the daylight is getting a little longer, this past few days!

I first noticed it in the mornings, and today I noticed it in late afternoon.
Even though it's a very cloudy grey day today, it didn't get dark as early.

I find that encouraging.
I don't need every day to be sunny, but I do crave the daylight.
 

Good night Kaila. 🧡

Thank you for chiming in here, on my thread! With your well wishes! :D:)☺️

I appreciate it and it's nice to see you here.

We had a milder day than usual, in cold wintery northeast USA , today,

But chilly rain, expected for tomorrow on Jan 1st.
 
Happy new year, to all of my treasured friends here,

Who have helped me and accompanied me,
on what would have been an even more lonely and difficult time, than it was.....

it would have been....

But wasn't, because you were all here... for me... and with me.
💙🧡💜❤️💚💗
 
It was a busy day, with some highlights....

I finally got a med from the pharmacy,
that I've been trying to get filled correctly, ever since I was discharged from rehab ,
4 days ago. 😱😒😕
But I'll have it for tonight. 👍🤩🥳

I got an appointment for followup with an office I'd hoped for!
 
Continuing......
I got out the door and sat outdoors for 15 glorious fresh air moments!

I helped huz,
and we got salmon delivered!

I talked on phone to a helpful social worker.🤩

I'm exhausted but that was a pretty good day.
 
@Jules
I wish that meals on wheels
made foods that we can eat, but neither of us can.

I appreciate all the ideas Though.

And always love to see you, Jules!🙂🤩
 
@Pepper

I'm glad I'm home so I can take the meds when I'm supposed to.

I remember YOU, telling me to get Out of there,
when I told how meds were very often,
Either 2 hours too early,
Or 2 hours too late!

My thanks to everyone, for all the support, during that, too!
