Night Shift

well .. aloha ha @Faith-and-Hope .. and glad to hear that .. dust will be settling behind my wheels ..soon .. lol

Ahhhh - everyone - @Former-Member@TAB@

I have lost track - I think there might have been a glitch somewhere but I have to admit a terrible truth

After years of living on my own I have forgotten how to cook properly - I do - usually lots of salad and grill steak or chops - and sometimes I yearn with watering mouth for a home cooked roast lamb

I make soup well and make it last for 3 - 4 days - give or take - it saved me from starvation this week - when I didn't want to cook - still don't feel really hungry

But yes - I have really forgotten some simple things like - I got some eggs and felt as if I needed bacon and eggs and the bacon didn't cook fast enough - tasted horrible - the eggs were okay

There are worse things - I don't actually mind cooking but cooking for one is really BORING - and no - I have had all the possible suggestions - I will stick with my salads or steamed vegies

I wish my appetite would come back

Thanks for the talk on food - I know one thing I can cook and that's to wrap up two chops in foil and add some pumpkin and whatever to bake in the over for about an hour - that's the best I can offee - but people are welcome

Heading off to feed the troops for a bit .... back later.

Menu = soup tonight .... 😏

Thanks @Decadian for your kind thoughts. I'm not too worried, it's the running around to doctors I find time consuming and dread the thought of a biopsy, lol.

No, you're not a sook at all, biopsies are awful, especially when they don't numb the area properly (or at all).

What I find annoying is that we have to go in for a seperate appointment to get a Health Care Plan. Government rules. So one visit for lump and then I go back for health care plan. Do they think we enjoy sitting in the waiting room. Whoops! I'll stop the whinging. hehe!

Just did some ironing, cleaned the kitchen and now waiting for my turn in the shower. We started pulling our bathroom apart to renovate, but it all came to a standstill, as we only have one shower. Not quite sure how it's all going to work out, lol. All tiles need replacing etc, everything needs replacing.

A step at a time, it will work out. Hmm! The storm went away quick, that's good.

Salads are quick and nice in summer @TAB That is if you can be bothered, lol. So easy not to bother, that's for sure. If I was rich I'd love a cook.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope,

. @Faith-and-Hope I hope you know the role you've played too in me taking some steps forward. I am so very grateful for your support, encouragement and practical advice💜💐😊.

I'm glad to hear things are easing up with you💜😊

PS I've edited this post and moved most of it to the struggle thread as I think it was too heavy for here

Yes, good that you wait until the afternoon to mow @Shaz51

Even late afternoons are still very hot and humid here in summer. Oh, how I love winter.

We have half an acre, so hubby gets on the ride on. It was a never ending job before he bought the ride on.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope How's your girls wry neck and how's uni going for your boy? Any wedding or 21st birthday party planning this week? Soup sounds good. I love soup in winter.

Ah @Former-Member

Yes - the stoopid rools for the Health Care plan - I had to go about seeing my psychologist - I had to make a separate trip - like you - and I needed an injection and could not wait until the next day - even for a free visit - eg - "Just go and ask the nurse and she will know you are coming"

Which I thought was decent - but I couldn't wait - and so I had to drop in and hand him the envelope between patients - I think that was cool - but yeah

We do not like waiting at the doctor's clinic with all the flu bugs jumping around - we can not like things - and the chairs are really bad for the people with bad backs - I have asked people over the years - and they all look as if their backs are torturing them and I ask and they are suffering and I have not just suggested better chairs for the waiting room - I have even told them I will pay for them - but no

And I have figured this out - they don't encourage people to come early and beat the Christmas rush - they don't want us waiting

But I do have to say that all of that is true and humourous - and I get well treated there - and they have a recovery room and if my back is bad I get to lie down to wait - and I hear the most interesting things - no - I am not repeating them

Gee - I can rant at times

The shower - living alone means I don't have to wait for the shower - I remember when I was a kid and we were on the way home from the beach all sandy and gritty and I got dibs on last in the bath - everytime - and I would wait while Mum hurried everyone along and I wanted to be last so she hurried to and I had the bath to myself with no one else waiting

Yes!!

I hope your bathroom gets sorted out soon -

Decadian

It's great to hear that you are doing better @Former-Member and that you have some good support there as well.

I think I would be quite lazy with cooking if I was on my own @Decadian. Lots of salads, very easy meals.

@TAB Frozen stir fry vegies, with strips of beef, fried, very nice and easy.
