Last night we tried Amy’s enchilada mole. It was very good, and I’d buy it again, maybe with some grilled chicken to go with it. ( Winco has the best price of $5.87). It’s basically an enchilada but with a mole sauce. If you’ve ever tried making a mole sauce, it’s somewhat involved. So this is a great alternative.

I’ll pull some stuff from the freezer too. I have some chicken tenderloins to use and I’ll see what else is in there. I plan to make some hardboiled eggs so egg salad sandwiches will be some lunches.

I cooked some chickpeas the other day so I looked up a recipe and found one in (NYT cooking) no it’s the Washington Post and I’ll copy the recipe and post later)for polenta with chickpeas and tomatoes. So I plan on doing that tonight. I have some tomatoes from Costco that need using.

I’ll probably do a ramen night with a few of the eggs too. We had some food waste this week( pasta) so I need to try and make smaller amounts for dinner. We just don’t eat as much food as I make.

I’m not going to the pool today but will keep organizing stuff around the house. I still have some sewing stuff lying around the bedroom and I have a pile of ironing to do. I don’t do alot of ironing but I do like to iron my linen napkins.

Since this week is my Velcade shot, my swim days and gym will be limited. I might plan on the gym after my shot but that sort of depends on how I feel. Then Friday is a dex day so, it’s a home day and probably Saturday too.

I’ve done a bunch of extra laundry because the cat blankets needed to be washed. So I need to fold them and put them somewhere. I checked on getting a new poang chair cover but they have increased in price a lot. The one I bought for $75 is now $144. So a big increase. For now I’ll live with them cat scratched:(

Since I’m home today, I’ll also download my Sleep HQ data and check on how that looks. It tells you when you have the hypopneas and other stuff that’s important to look at. For me, I get the drop in 02 when a hypopnea occurs and that’s why my CPAP changes pressure to accommodate the decreased air flow. It’s a good thing I like doing these things because the sleep doctor and the NP of his never even answered any question I had. I guess from comments on the Facebook group that is very common. oh well, I have it pretty well dialed in. If I wanted to do the in lab titration it will tell me exactly what is going on with 02 and probably that would mean switching machines to what’s called a BiPap. I’m not willing to change it up right now. I’ve been through enough with this and will just keep going.

the smaller sunroom couch we brought in, well my son and daughter did. So chair over by orchids or by the other end??

The tree people showed up yesterday to limb one of our big pines. I had specifically said I didn’t want it limbed but removed, as it has quite a lean. The lean isn’t toward our house, but it is across the lines. So they left, and then later the supervisor (I assume) came back, walked around, but didn’t come to the door to tell me what was up. I walked out there later, and there is no different mark that I can tell. We’ll see. Taking trees is hugely expensive and I still have at least 2 that I will need to pay for at some point.

It’s another super hot day. My son and his partner are coming up though, to celebrate his birthday. My sweet boy is 32. I didn’t get him anything special but will give him some money to help with his Japan trip. We’re doing something for lunch but I’ll let him decide. Since that’s most of the morning and early afternoon, I ‘m not going to the pool or town. I do need a few groceries but I may hold off till tomorrow.

Another thing I I found out about taxes, is that since this is the first year I’ll file single, my standard deduction is half of what it was. So 16500 approx and i think there is another senior something. But i may have to pay a small amount of tax which I’m pretty flipped over. I don’t even have enough with what I get to save anything. Well, I guess that’s fucked up.

That’s it for now.
