Yesterday was a good day. I got to go to Rite Aid to get my flu and booster shots. All went well. No effects from that at all. To celebrate, I bought 2 king size Payday candy bars, which I gobbled right up. I also bought a back stabilizer. I hope it works because I get severe pain from arthritis in my spine, from doing anything that involves bending. It was so exciting to be in a store again! My daughter and dog were waiting in the car, or I would have looked at everything, just for the fun of it.
Unlike last week, when there were tons of people waiting in line for their shots, no one was there but me. I had to take off my barn coat and a fleece-lined flannel shirt, which I had worn a t-shirt under. I said to the pharmacist that I was sure a lot of people were wearing t-shirts to get their shots, and he said no, hardly anyone did. I wonder if most people had to take off their shirts. I'm not going to do that in front of a pharmacist!
Yesterday I did a bunch of things - mostly in my bedroom. Put winter clothes away, put summer clothes in the second dresser. Mourned the loss of my size 6 clothing. I decided not to wear size 6 again because I am too thin and it makes my face look older. Good thing, because I gained weight as a side effect of the chemo I was on. A little to much for my liking (20 lbs, need to lose 10). I also gathered the reams of paperwork I have. There are at least 5" of cancer-related paperwork, and I am going to toss a lot of it. I don't really foresee a need to have a piece of paper for every time I had chemo, for example. At least I didn't take home paperwork from Rite Aid. I thought that it was like junk mail, since I already know about those vaccinations. The pharmacist must have seen a look on my face that prompted him to ask if I wanted him to throw it away for me!
So today, some kitchen stuff, some bedroom stuff, the usual. I dread going through all that paperwork - some of it is my husband's and most of it is I don't know what. There is also lots of unopened mail that belongs to me. Mostly because I was too sick to deal with it, and partly because my daughter ignores the mail basket, and just leaves it everywhere. I usually discover it by accident. This may have something to do with her ADD.
I see that Thanksgiving is this week, so I'm going to try to talk my daughter into retrieving our turkey from my husband's house. This will give me the chance to see if my stash of bone broth is still within the expiration date, so I can bring it home. My daughter hates going there. She is already disgruntled because her father and my husband (same guy) is joining us for Thanksgiving dinner. No matter how she feels, he is not going to be left alone on Thanksgiving. Her biggest problem is that he does not agree with her social and political views, and it makes her mad. All of our kids intentionally bait him into saying things they don't agree with.
One of DSIL's friends gave him a lot of sweet pitted fresh cherries
early in the summer that DD froze. So...mixed up the filling and it's sitting in the fridge while the cherries thaw. Recipe says an hour, but c'mon...an hour? Anyway just because I was motivated to make the pie doesn't mean that I was motivated to be bothered with my own pie crust. Refrigerated. That's the way to go. For years I thought my mother made perfect pie crust. One day she confessed that she used Already Ready refrigerated pie crust. (If you can't trust your mother, who can you trust?) Refrigerated pie crust on the kitchen counter coming to room temp before I roll it out and fill it.
All those other things just seem to fall into my cart.
