Odd Day

For quite a bit of the day, I felt really tired, and every time I tried to get up and walk around my house, I got dizzy.  I think it's because I have some sinus issues and I might have screwed up my inner ear.  The tired is more than likely because I didn't sleep well last night; waking every hour or so.


Once I had some dinner, I felt quite a bit better.  We just made Mufulettas, although I couldn't have any fresh veggies on mine due to the risk of bacteria.  OH the things you learn when you have cancer and are doing chemo.  And instead of the tapenade, we used the Mexican Pesto I had made earlier in the week.  We froze what we didn't use in those Chicken Packets. :)  Of course, the bread was whole, multi-grain and very delicious.


Funny, I've been to New Orleans twice, and never had a Mufuletta there.  Got sick from the high humidity and its effect on my lungs, though, and ended up coming back to Arizona and going to the ER both times.  But, I ADORE New Orleans, and if you EVER get the opportunity to visit, please do; you won't regret it.  Ignore those folks from "Top Gear." :D


I need to buy stock in the Kleenex company; I'm running through tissues like crazy.  Drat that fire, and for everyone affected, I keep you in my prayers.  It's so sad to see so much beauty burning away via an act of human destruction.  One can become so distressed at the capacity of humans to be evil, but we can't let ourselves only see that evil, despite how we're constantly inundated with the media's evidence of it.


I think I'll head to bed early... like right now. :D


Be well, be safe and appreciate the amazing world around you and the wonderful people who grace your lives.

  2. hey girl
    have you tried a netti pot. I use it religiously and find it helps my sinuses and for any post nasal drip. Sinus probs tend to make me feel dizzy on occasion.

    I was wondering if those fires would be affecting you folks in good ole AZ. There is nothing worse than smoke. I remember the heber overguard fire, one of my friends who had retired up there was evacuated. Then the rodeo fire, we had animals from that one brought into our shelter in gilbert.

    just a thought on the veggies. Could you not use them if you washed them in vinegar and water. It cleans anything off them, just soak them then rinse.
    Anyway girl, hope the rest of your weekend is restful. Hope you get some good sleep

  3. Thank you, Becky! You're a peach. :)

    Fay, I can use any veggies cooked. I just can't eat them raw. Good thing, too, considering the bonanza of produce now being harvested in my back garden. :D
