The subzero weather is back. For today. I made a hodgepodge soup yesterday, finding I had only a small amount of lentils, I had to use beans as well. There is enough for today, which is a good thing considering the cold weather. I'm going to make stock again today. I need to get some of those bones and vegetable bits out of the packed freezer.
You know you are getting old when your week is a series of medical appointments. PT for me on Monday, primary for Mark yesterday and the dermatologist today. Last week was his urologist. He has a couple of 'gists. We have become one of those!
May the day be a good one for us all.

Yes, when medical appointments overtake meeting friends for coffee!
Soup is just right now.
Yes, the first sign you have crossed over to senior, Boud! We are having soup again today, with more stock simmering.
I am hoping to be done with urologists after this spring. It would be nice.
Looks like a yummy hodgepodge soup! Those are the best kind.
Beef & veggie soup in the crockpot for me today. 8 degrees! We are above zero! And yes--appointments become the norm for a lot of us. Gives us something in common, I guess. CTscans for me Friday. Fingers crossed my body lets me get there--lol!
Tossing leftovers into a pot is a good way to make hodgepodge soup.
Soups are awesome to eat in the winter, you can have everything in one dish/bowl.
Thankfully we are not solidly booked with appts like that, but we did have our share in December. Lucky for us, most of them were actually virtual.
By Saturday we are supposed to possibly get up to 31F !!!
Join us old people. We are done for the week with only four appts this week which is better than last weeks five...a downward trend is good:)
Yeah some weeks are full of medical appointments
Join the club!
I love your choice of comfort food!
I try to avoid the doctor as doctors are totally overwhelmed right now. And if I need any treatment I might have to wait months for it.
Mark now goes in twice a year. He sees the dermatologist every four months. Let's hope you will be done with it in spring.
I've got my fingers crossed for you Rita. We have a few days of more temperate weather so maybe you do, too. Good luck with the scans.
I make a lot of soup because I make a lot of stock!It's so convenient to have onhand. I think you've had more than your fair share of doctors. We are going to have the same weather. Yippee!
I'm officially an old people, Far Side! That's a lot of appointments.
Yes they are, Jo-Anne!
It's exclusive, right, Lori? !
Comfort food is the best, Cheerful.
Mark can't avoid doctors because he has had two different cancers. Other than chronic pain I seem healthy, Nick.
Sandra, after reading about your appointment schedule and then the above comments, I was hesitant, but thankful, to admit that aside from dental, none are in our schedules.
Don't be hesitant, Dorothy. That's fantastic!
Ah yes, I am going through my own medical appointments and PT. I like “You know you are getting old when…”. It made me smile. Very true! I hope the appointments go well. Love that comforting bowl of goodness.
It's a rite of passage, eh Denise! We finished the last of the soup today.
