It's the little things

 Not much to report, change in the weather which my sinuses picked up on two days ago. Had some wild winds overnight and blew the weather out. So it's going to be clear, crisp and nippy overnight and 'sweater weather' during the day. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the pretty leaves on the ground and no more on the tree. You can also see just how clear the sky is, but yesterday there were wispy clouds and some high altitude rollers. 

The little things: I found a yogurt flavor I can tolerate! Took a chance on strawberry cheesecake flavor and bought another 'very vanilla' of Yoplait and must say that first one is rather tasty. No chemical/moldy aftertaste at all. Now, I must say that if they had 'mandarin' or 'orange cream' I would be all over it but this had small bits of strawberry in it and I think that helped. Another note; My brain keeps thinking 'pudding' which has the same texture all the way through, this is not the case with yogurt so the texture difference was a hurdle to get over as well. Yes I am stirring from the bottom of the container to make sure it's all mixed thoroughly. Though might not have done that with the first vanilla one. 

So as for my new diet and that situation, I'm pretty much eating normal but throwing in an occasional banana or large apple as a snack, with a yogurt sometimes. Results vary of course but seems to be getting better. Aggh! I totally forgot to contact my doctor's office and ask about starting the chemo tablets! Knew I forgot something! Need to start that ginkgo again as well, hehe.

Another little thing; for years and years I have wanted a zip up sweatshirt hoodie. I have never been able to find one that was the right color/fit/style. I found one last year of all places on the community table. Navy blue, has some paint smudges on the sleeve and the only problem is, it won't zip up. The bottom is not coming together well and it seems to be a wearing out issue. I got it started once but then was afraid I wouldn't be able to get it off so I unzipped it. It's comfy, it's warm, not too hot, perfect for sitting at the computer on chilly nights. I absolutely love the fit! (even though it's a big snug around the middle) I have been wearing my 'Pooh' jacket that I got from Disneyland years ago but in recent years and even before it was never 'comfy'. The sleeves were not tight cuffed at the wrist, the inside of the sleeves became scratchy and it was okay but just wasn't comfy any more.  (side note: just decided to try and zip up my hoodie anyway and was successful. Yay! And then a hot flash comes along and need to unzip it!)

So lots of little things lately,  cooked some penne pasta with marinara meat sauce tonight, going to cook up the other half of the hamburger for taco meat tomorrow. Remember that trick of putting hamburger in a big freezer bag and flattening it? Will I did that but didn't separate the two halves as much as needed so just thawed the two pounds of meat. Have had a hankering for crunchy home made tacos or taco salad or tostada lately. Have all the fixings other than mexican rice so might do that for lunch tomorrow. Yeah, make some fresh salsa...oh wait, I'm supposed to be on a restricted diet......

HA!
