This week we started the week out in Napa, so our RV space was $65 a night. A great price for full hookups. We spent $50 on pizza and wine, then $20 at the bakery, $40 at Trader Joe’s but $20 of that was for their seasonal candles, and $15 at the cheese station in Oxbow. So overall, a frugal getaway.

Yesterday was my doctor’s and we needed gas in the Santa Fe so we stopped at Costco on our way home. We went into Winco for salad packs, wine, and some Dave’s bread for sandwiches. We stopped at Celestino’s for a slice of NY pizza. It is the closest to NY pizza I’ve had in this area. That’s saying something.

My appt went well and he said it wasn’t the Velcade that caused my vomiting but the Dex. Dex causes lots of acid reactions in the stomach so he said to try and take only 4 next week. Then on top of that just as we were finishing walking this morning my knee( the one I fell on off the step ladder) completely gave out. WTF!!!! I didn’t fall but barely made it back to the car. So I vaguely remembered that dex causes muscle weakness. I messaged him to check that out and I guess I’ll just have to hobble around till it gets better. I made an appt with my PC for next week, but I’ll probably cancel that since I pretty much guess that the dex is the culprit. Since I had the fall I’m probably more susceptible there. Oh well, it’s always something. I planned on doing all the chores I didn’t get done this week today but that’s on hold now.

B has gone to town to buy cat crunchies and go to the gym. We alternate buying the big bag of Science Diet cat food with our daughter. So $55 for that.

I also planned going to the pool tomorrow but now I’m not sure what I’ll do. Maybe the muscle pain will subside by then.

I have a freezer lasagna ready for dinner and we’ll have one of the salad packs.

I do plan on going to Costco next week mostly for their sale items. Lots of good deals next week. But I want to do a freezer challenge and eat down some of my stockpiles.

I’m still working on some Christmas ideas for us all and have gotten a few things like a tea sampler for both kids. ( They’re big tea drinkers). I still plan on a few gift cards and will do that next week if I can get out and walk:( bummer and it better get better soon.

I just finished an absolutely wonderful book called” Lessons in Chemistry”. I highly recommend it.
