These cost $2+ in the international aisle of Walmart. The tomato Heinz bean taste the same from the regular aisle. This is Canada and our beans are different from those in the US. They are one of the products that Americans will head north to purchase here.

Rather than bacon, I serve beans with eggs for breakfast.
 

Had my coffee, showered, applied lots of SPF and went for a semi-early walk. Popped in a small bakery and carried home bread and an almond croissant that I hope is more exciting than the bread. Plan to take another walk in the evening when it’s cooler. Not sure what I’ll do until then.

Well, husband and I went to Lowe’s early this morning to buy some privacy slates for the chain link fence. I went to one further away in hopes they would have red, but nope they didn’t. His computer was not working last night, again, and work let him off with pay. so he got up early. I had many plans for today but.

Last night he seemed odd. He was coughing a lung up and woke me up. He was going to bed as his computer wasn’t working and he had the chills. Took his temp, no fever. He goes to bed, gets up early for himself, seems fine and off to Lowe’s.

I had already taken care of Bella, put up the new sun shade, watered the back, etc, usual stuff. After Lowe’s, Petsmart for new crate for Bella, then I took him to instant care since he was so odd last night. They said take him to ER, he said no, I said then get out and walk home. 😂

Took him to ER. Got a room right away, nurse comes right in and draws out half the blood he has in his body. Puts in two IVs. I explain his issues, again. We are bickering at each other this whole time and I ask the nurse can they keep him for a month or two and give me a rest. 😍. She says it does not work that way. 🙄

Doctor comes in, says they are going to hospitalize him. 😂😂. See, there is a God. 🤣

I ask if he will get a Covid test, they say no. It’s nearly impossible to get Covid after vaccination. Good to know. He has a fever of 101, and oxygen is down to 87. Yesterday, he was better, last night he was decidedly odd, and now he is actually sick. It looks like pneumonia on the X-ray.

Got a stone cold burger from Burger King on way home and ate it cause I could feel my sugar crashing. Also got an ice cream for a quick fix. Put Bella out. Called husband, he’s still in the ER waiting on blood results. Says they still will keep him. And this has been what I am doing today.
Aneeda....you and your hubby definitely had a bad day. Hope he feels better soon.
I'm sure the time apart would be a good break for you.
But
Him being sick is not the best way to do a break.
As usual, men being so stubborn, he had to be dragged to medical attention.
The hospital is the right place for him to get better.
Take care.

sssshhhhhhhhhiiiiiiipppp... what a day... :eek: how did I miss this?... good lord pneumonia, wonder how he got that, does he had compromised lungs ? well today you have to take this opportunity to do or rest... whatever it is, you need to have a mental rest from all the bickering...

Hope your hubs gets well soon,and not too poorly, for all the joking around we want him to be better.. ... but for your sake, maybe not too soon... :sneaky:

apparently baked beans in the USA has BBQ sauce... the baked beans here don't have that, they are in tomato sauce, which is why so many Americans love them for breakfast when they get here but previously on hearing Baked beans for brekkie they were thinking of USA Baked beans they were grossed out at the thought :D
My recipe for baked beans does not have BBQ sauce or tomato sauce either. Some recipes call for ketchup but the original recipe for Boston baked beans used the pot liquor (water they were cooked in) for the liquid. The canned store brands do their own thing.

yes but these are the Heinz canned versions Kat... it's not a usual thing for people here to make their own baked beans :)

Yup, it’s the MENTAL rest I need from all the bickering for sure. All the other stuff, that I do daily, still needs to be done and that’s fine. Hes on the gurney in the ER, he has trouble breathing so they put oxygen on him. Doctor asked when was his second Covid shot. I say March.

He immediately contradicts me and says April. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Apparently the pneumonia has not effected his ability to “put me straight”. I pull out the vaccination card, it was March.

Anyway, after the doctor lectured me over no need for Covid test, because of the pneumonia, they tested him for Covid. It was negative. 😌. On the X-ray they found two “spots” on his lungs which this morning they did a whole body CT scan. As he has that inactive lung cancer nodule and a history of blood clots in the lungs.

They are looking for any other signs of cancer or blood clots. He remains very weak, still gets the shakes, and due to his 5am phone call to me to bring his clean clothes for when he leaves the hospital; 🙄 he is still a pain in the my butt.

For years I used to write the same on here ( well the previous forum before we changed to this one) .off to work( early morning)... back from work ( in the evning.. then I'd give all my woes of the day.. had to offload on someone didn't I?>.. .. I know how you're feeling.. when can you retire ?

i can never retire. i'm tweaking my resume this weekend. gonna get an acct. set up with LinkedIn and Indeed and start looking for work at home stuff on the computer. I'm gonna try part time first. If that goes well then I'm going after full time. I saw some of them have insurance and stuff too. If I can get something FT going then I'm gonna retire from food service altogether.

Are you over 65, Marci, or do you still need medical insurance coverage?
 
So far the normal every day stuff.

I "should" be out side playing in the wet dirt as I have some annuals that need planted.

Yesterday while hubby & I were away, some kids tore up my bed of blooming iris.
Threw stalks, flowers onto the road where they got smashed.

They didn't go after the ones in front of our house.

Need a plan that would put the fear of their life in them.
 
Not much today - some photo editing, reading, checking news sites and checking the forums I subscribe to. I am finding that I enjoy down time after a day in the saddle. There's always the possibility that something interesting will happen or become known. Some days you have to go out and make interesting things happen. This isn't one of those days. :)

A bigger dog 😂
 
Took a load of laundry to the laundromat and while it was doing its thing, I went shopping without much success. I won't starve, but things are scarce and prices are higher than usual. Waited all day for people to show up to look at items I posted on Marketplace. Stood up across the board and some were even people I know.
So odd to me since there are no shortages of anything here
