    Mags- steak and potatoes sound good for dinner. All my docs told me lots of protein when going through surgeries, treatment, etc. Your body needs it to help with all the healing that goes on.

    Blondie- how are you feeling these days girlfriend? Better since you came off the chemo?

      1. Thanks for asking jazzy, still having trouble breathing as usual,  but other than that I am good, glad I am off it.

      Cami, I always wear some kind of pad just because I am old, but I had some pads left over from my hysterectomy and they will do for now. I think it's the steroids that immobilize my bladder muscles. 

      I want to hear about the party too. Living vicariously. 

      Blondie, big gentle hugs.

      Got some nice soaking rain yesterday afternoon which cooled things down and made for some beautiful skies last night. Took a 45 min walk in the evening and took it all in. This photo off a group page, but taken from the west side of town where I live.

      This one is for Teka. My russian sage fully in bloom. It does not need much water to thrive, but with the monsoonal rains, it is going crazy this year. I pruned it back today along with a few other things. Gardens are happy with the summer rains.

      Jazzy,

      What a lovely array of sky colors!

      I love plants that thrive with just a little water and care, like the russian sage.   Lovely blooms!!

      Do you use russian sage in flower arrangements?

      Teka- I never thought to do that, probably because I have not ever had to prune it before. I just so happen to have a little batch of fresh flowers I got on sale last week at the store, and just added the cuttings to it. The russian sage has a nice scent to it too! Thank for the suggestion!

      Teka- I had the choice when I had the house built for either gas or electric. I chose gas, having had both in the past and knowing you get things cooking fast with gas. My dryer is gas too as is my furnance and hot water heater. Most everything out west seems to be powered by natural gas. It was true for me when I lived in Texas too.

      I grew up in the east coast where things were usually powered by oil (furnace) or electricity (appliances).

      Taking that sublingual tab for abdominal pain regularly every 4 hours seems to be doing the trick. Of course I woke up in pain at 4:30am, but settled for now.

      Count me in on the gas range. This is the first house we've lived in that has electric and I hate it. But then I don't cook any more, so I forfeit the right to complain. DH bought an induction cooktop but what a hassle!

      Took a break from house prep drudgery to go to one of my favorite yoga teacher's classes. Been having some lower back pain and into the leg, I suspect a bit of sciatica since my travels back last week. Yoga really helps me with these things.

      Back to packing of counter top and other fragile things. Making a pork roast too. Wish I could have you all over for some!

      Done! With sauerkraut and instead of potatoes like I usually do, I put in some seasoned squash.

      Teka-  yes I do, especially when I have the time for it. Which is right now while I am in between contracts. 

      I have to say the sauerkraut and squash combo tastes better than I expected. Making all kinds of good food with all the goodies I got from the grocery store and farmers market in the past week.

      Told a music friend I would stop by and see her group playing nearby this evening. But feeling lazy. The weather looks good tonight for her gig on the patio, so we will see.

      Yum. Pineapple upside-down cake. Love it. And Jazzy, your pork roast looks scrumptious. I ate Polish sausage for dinner and it was surprisingly good. Cousin brought me a piece of carrot cake for dessert. I am seriously thinking about a glass of orange juice. Before chemo, I used to go through a couple gallons a week, but after chemo it seemed too acidic. Suddenly it's sounding good again. The last couple weeks I've been drinking apple juice, but suddenly it's cloyingly sweet. And I've completely lost my taste for ginger ale (plus, carbonation!). I feel like I'm negotiating a mine field taste bud-wise.
