Good Morning Ladies. Well before I left the house I tossed in a load of wash. I gathered all the shopping bags and put them in the truck. After work I have a dr appointment. This is just to go over my MRI. The only thing unusual is the appointment is with the big dr, not his assistant. He is the one that fixed MJ's back.
After that I need to go put clothes in the dryer and get ready for Uno. Dinner will be sandwiches. I will mix up a cheese cake when I get home.
If I have time I want to make my sugar free spiced nuts too, because I want a fun snack for work. Not just cheese, meat and raw nuts.
Have a blessed day ladies!

Hope your appointment goes well, MammaMel.
I'm not feeling well today--very tired and sluggish and shaky. I'm not if anything will get done today as I just feel like going back to bed.

Fed all the animals, ate a late breakfast, and am now watching Chicago Fire while working on a hat. Light company called to say they will be relacing a power pole right outside our gate so our power will be out for awhile. At that time I'll go do some shopping. Need cat food and thingyatiel/parrot food. It just went out so off I go. Dinner will be pinto beans with ground beef. I need to get clothes off the line and pick up produce later.

Went to Bible study this morning, made the bed, dishes washed, am making yogurt right now. My brother stopped by to say he is raising the rent on us because of all their expenses over the last two years, buying windows, a new roof, etc, so Ryan says he has enough money saved right now he may be able to buy the house outright, so we will be in discussions over that.

How did it get to be Tuesday?
Oh, Merrileem, I hope it works out for you and Ryan.
Mel, could you share your recipe for sugar free nuts? I made some once - they tasted very good, but turned BLACK. Ugh! Everyone ate them once they got the courage to try.
Let's see. I taught a class, wrote a LONG email to a parent after. Did literature with the boys during lunch, and some impromptu civics earlier this morning. Our mayor gave a video interview yesterday and talked about things that I knew would interest the boys. It was a twenty minute video, and after we talked for almost an hour! I knew they'd be interested.
I'm waiting right now on a late student. I have a few classes this afternoon with a buffer between them. Not a heavy load at all today.
Dinner is a chicken (in the slow cooker). I'll nuke some roasted potatoes from the freezer for the boys, and maybe have salad. Best thing I did last month at Costco was buy a sack of small to medium potatoes, roast them in the slow cooker, and freeze for indivdiual meals. Potatoes just won't keep in our house. I have dehystrated potatoes, but we only like the sliced ones and those get a little old. The roasted potatoes are a good alternative.
I'm supposed to take the boys to tkd tonight. It's been pouring for days. Hopefully, it won't be bad tonight.

Well I am home. Doc said I have spinal stenosis the worst is at L3/4 and a LOT of arthritis. He wants me to do rehab and home exercise, says the chiro is not a bad idea then said... I want to give you a cortisone injection. So I said if you are gonna do that do it now before I chicken out. He said trust me it won't hurt. Now, he is 1 dr I DO trust because of how well he did with MJ. So they pushed it through the insurance and I got my shot. Now this isn't just a shot, there is an incision, and a stitch or 2 I think, that is what it felt like anyway. It did make me dizzy and a touch unsteady, which I covered well enough they let me leave. I am now home. I wasn't really in pain, just very uncomfortable. The first bump on the way home, chang4ed that. I am in pain but not such that I plan to cancel Uno. I won't be doing laundry or anything else tonight but I can sit with my big ice pack on my back. I just can't use my heating pad.
I stood long enough to make the cheesecake and that is all I will accomplish tonight.
The Uno gang will be here at 6.
Merrilee, that would be nice if Ryan can buy the house.
Sandra, I don't measure. I use about a cup of splenda, a tsp of nutmeg and cinnamon, a stick of butter or 2 jumbo egg whites. I am thinking when I do them this time (NOT tonight as planned) I will do both butter and egg whites. I am going for a crunch with a toffee flavor.
Mix it all together, I plan a mix of almonds, cashews, macadamia and walnuts, and bake roughly 10 minutes at 350. All my nuts are raw and unsalted.
