Reflections of My Life

Kat what is in the keto chow?

It is keto meal replacement shake that contains all the vitamins and minerals for one third of your daily nutrients. I have been using it for about four years I think. You can drink it as a shake or freeze the shake and make it into ice cream (which is what I do). You can also make it into recipes which a lot of people do. They have a recipe section on their website. This is the link to it if you want to see it. Keto Chow

So I can eat a pint of ice cream for a meal and I like to do that when it gets hot, which it is now.
 
I am feeling really good these last few days. Maybe because I finally took the steps to go to therapy and learn how to manage this part of my life. My knees still hurt. Walking is still difficult. I figure I can deal with that. Just want to keep the swelling down and will do whatever I have to do.

Today and the next three days I am working on my apartment, Spring cleaning. Taking down all the winter weatherizing I did. Make it look bright and cheery for spring and summer.

so you just make a bunch of the shakes and freeze them?
 
Today I am going to take the day off. Just going through my paper pile which is a sit down job. Then maybe I cut up all the boxes I stacked in my shower yesterday from all my recent deliveries. There is one that is huge! The new fan came in it but the shipping box is way larger than the fan box. Whether I take them out to the dumpster or not is anyone's guess. ;)

The new fan came just in time and it works really well. I don't like to put the AC on unless it is at least 66 degrees. So this morning it was 57 degrees and I turned that fan on and what a difference it made.

So for now.........just coffee!

Mine is not a tower but a pedestal one. Working good for me and I am happy with it. I love that it has a remote control. I have so many remotes now that I am making a list of what kind of battery they use and how many so I can stock up.

I have the exact same battery case.. I bought it after the X left in 2021.. because he always dealt with batteries and bulb replacements.. so I had to learn what went where in the amazing amount of electric stuff here .. and I thought this case was a great way of keeping everything together, and it;s been one of the best things I've bought

I would too. My apartment is very small so I don't need much. Though I do use the fans at night instead of the ac. I'll see this year though because now I have a bed and the ac does not blow directly on me there. The towers are nice.
 
As hot as it has been the last few days..........tomorrow is supposed to be in the 30's. I will keep a blanket handy just in case I get cold at night since I removed all weatherization I had put up on the windows. Not putting it back up. NYS weather is always crazy.

This morning I made four batches of Keto Chow for ice cream during the week. I find it handy to have when I come home from the therapy appointments. Otherwise just keeping my feet up and not doing too much.
 
I have neglected my blog in the past months. Partly due to losing my bunny boy. I just did not find joy in my writing as much as I used to with him gone. This morning when doing my scripture readings, the devotion along with it had these words, "a lifetime of changes". They jumped out at me and I instantly wrote them down. I went to my blog and found I had a post waiting to be published after some simple edits. Published that one and then started a new one. Named "A Lifetime of Changes", of course.

I am having trouble with the Medicaid Transportation. Not exactly the same as Pepper's issues but another one. Using it for therapy means you might have to go often. Like three times a week. So now they say I have used up all my rides for April. Only 5? The therapy office is working on getting me set up as "unlimited" because the therapist feels I need to come three times a week. Normally I would say I could get by without that many times..........but, it is working! I don't want to give it up.

Since I had to walk back home the other day, makes me wonder if I can do a walk there and back. Maybe I could try it. Plus I need to experiment with the bus. I haven't taken it since it started back up. I was waiting for the weather to change. Well, it changed. The last few days were really hot and had to have my ac on all day. This morning it is snowing......
 
Snow on the cars in the parking lot this morning. It will probably be gone by the time I go out to the dumpster.

Today I have planned to set up the new Kindle Fire. It was delivered yesterday but I did not do anything with it. Today, I am ready. I am happy to see it fits my old Kindle Fire stand. Perfectly! I bought that stand back in 2011 and have always used it so happy to know I can keep using it. I did buy a case for it that includes a stand but I don't like it. So I found a different kind that they call a sleeve but the Kindle slides into it and was not much money.

Yesterday I made a new variety of keto ice cream. I had one package of peppermint Keto Chow left and I put half a package of LMNT chocolate salt flavor (electrolytes) in it when I blended it up before I froze it. It was so good! Now I am going to have to experiment with making peppermint with peppermint extract and the cookies & cream flavor of KC. Then add the LMNT to it.

I finally got my son a key to the ramp door. So happy! I had it all the time. The previous manager had given me two key rings that had lots of keys on them. I just never tried them all in the ramp door lock. Yesterday I did and found one that I put on a ring for Jeff. He was happy! I was happy!
