Simple Sunday

It is rainy, rainy and rainy.  The temperature is dropping too. My daughter is planning to work on Tuesday but I think the freeway will be closed and travel to Truckee unlikely.  I guess we’ll see.

Today B has platelets and I’m going to go to the gym.  This infusion goes relatively quickly.

We got quite a few applications from the Social worker to fill out for assistance such as PGE’s medical rate, handicap placard for when he’s going to the hospital and afterward and an American Cancer one that might have some assistance.  We’ll see how any or all of that goes. I’m still planning to do a GoFundme but just haven’t gotten around to it. Based on what the social worker said the month housing will be around $2000. Plus we will have to cover the expenses of the bone marrow retrieval( plane flight, hotels, etc). That’s if there’s a match.

Lots to consider and think about. But one day at a time and one foot in front of the other or just keep walking:)

This week is the kitchen zone and I may start that when I get home from town or I’ll start tomorrow.  One thing about simplifying and decluttering, cleaning goes much faster when you have less. I’m still loving the open shelves and love the bright white. Even if and when we do a remodel I would keep open shelving. It makes things more organized since you can see what’s there. The things in the metal bins are organized such as tea, coffee, spices, so I know which one is which.  I think it’s working out great and I’d encourage you to try if you’re looking for a change up in your kitchen. Initially, I did freak out and it took 3 coats to paint the shelves but it was worth it.

We don’t have cable so I’m not sure if we’ll find the super bowl to stream but honestly, I don’t even have a clue about the 2 teams. But the ads are always great and quite clever.

Well, off to town in the rain:(  I really hate driving in the rain.

 

Rainy day…

Well, this storm is here and it’s supposed to continue thru Tuesday with possible snow even at our elevation which is about 1700 ft.  It will definitely close the freeway if it’s whiteout conditions. We only need to go out for labs this morning and then tomorrow would be a transfusion day, probably platelets.  So we won’t be out too long.

So yeah, got the call from infusion, tomorrow platelets.  Sa o that’ll be enough time for me to go to the gym.

I’m seriously re-thinking the instant pot. I’ve not been too interested but then I started thinking about when B is down in Sacramento in the hospital for a month and then in a hotel or Air Bnb for a month. Of course, I will come home every couple of days but then I had a brain hit of making up meals that my daughter or son could put in the instant pot and cook within an hour. So have any of you been on the fence and then got one and loved it??? I have to say with the Vitamix I was and am amazed at its versatility.  Plus the Instant pot runs around $79 on Amazon so not a huge loss if I hate it. So any thoughts let me know…
