Frieda Monster

Demonic Frieda


 I think all those prey animals I saved from Frieda when she moved into the house should send me flowers.

It has been several busy days. I didn't get to any blogs yesterday, by afternoon I was knackered. Matthew brought fried chicken and a couple of salads for lunch. It was all delicious and very nice to see him. He seems content with his life at this time and that is good. He is a cat guy and spent a lot of time with Gatto. The other two don't come out for strangers. Gatto was in his lap within minutes. 

We have a couple of weeks that will be cold. We've gotten off easy until now. I guess we are due. I'm going to make smoked ham shank soup and maybe some bread. I have a video appointment with a Nurse Practitioner Monday afternoon and an appointment for two back-to-back MRIs ordered by the neurologist in February. Otherwise, all things remain the same. Mark is more than halfway through radiology and is doing remarkably well. He bought a Powerball ticket on his way home, maybe this will be his lucky ticket. Uh-Huh.

Thank goodness someone ordered MRIs!! They are so helpful in looking for issues!
I am jumping up and down for you!

Good on Mark also. I know radiation is no fun but it is so good to hear he is doing well.

Yes, the cold is coming and I am looking forward to it [well sort of--I am nuts right?]

Yum. I would love meals that someone else cooked.
This news brightened my whole day!

Hope you win big! Hope the new NP will help you get some answers!

I'm very glad you're getting action on your health issues, yay. And that Mark is tolerating the radiation well. All good news. Especially for the little prey animals around the yard.

You should post a video of jumping up and down, Val! I wish someone would cook for me sometimes, too. We are both crazy because I don't fret (too much) over the cold. I'm glad it brightened your day, I'm feeling a little better myself!

Sandra said...

Far Side, I would probably keel over if we won big! I'm hopeful about the NP.

Sandra said...

Boud, Mark is doing remarkably well. He gets a bit fatigued by the end of the day but he has been doing an unusual amount of physical work lately. Those little prey animals don't know what I did for them!!

That is good news all round.Except for the weather but you know that Spring will eventually arrive.

Val Ewing said...

Ha hah! I'll post a vid of the whipped snow and winds not one of me jumping up and down.
Still, that is great news for you...progress.

Sandra said...

Marlane, spring will come!
