Saturday... and I'm Still Surviving

I definitely had a bit of a setback.

Fever. Chills. Productive cough. Nasal drainage. So, I am feeling better about not going to see my Mom on Friday! [My Mother is still in the hospital, and for those who have been praying... please keep doing so. She remans in ICU and is critical. She is on day 14 now.]

But I did wake up this morning feeling a LOT better!. The best I have felt since Christmas Day! Maybe I am going to make it through this after all!

While I didn't eat any breakfast Saturday, Texican and I did eat...

..potted meat sandwiches, on whole wheat bread, with sliced american cheese and a smidgen of Great Value's version of Miracle Whip [it's remarkably similar in flavor! and Texican, who is a true Miracle Whip afficionado, likes it! It helps that a quart jar of the Great Value brand costs less than a pint of Miracle Whip!]

For dinner we ate...

...and yes, we ate TWO of these each! I absolutely love theflavor. And find them comparable in enjoyment in eating to much more expensive brands.

After dinner, while watching television, I made up a hideous concoction, which thankfully I did not photograph, which was a can of potted meat plus 2 tablespoons of the Great Value Salad dressing sandwich spread, which I then proceeded to dip fat free pretzel sticks into and eat! [I sometimes wonder if I have pica, the eating disorder... ha ha.]

So how did I do for the day with calories?

Caloric Intake: 1,310   [-130]

So I am fairly happy with that, and won't complain!

After dinner, and before television, Texican and I played...

...and I totally skunked him! Of course it helped that I had Park Place and Boardwalk [both with hotels] and Mediterranean and Baltic [both wth hotels]. Ultimately, it was Park Place and a hotel which was his undoing! Yeah!!! [I love getting a whole corner purchased and putting hotes on the properties!]

Do you and your family play games? We play Monopoly, Farkle, Yahtzee, Scrabble, Rummy, and Domnoes.

As we sat at the table, we had a little companion, who thought we should be eating, rather than playing a game!

This is Fred, who has been a guest on this blog before. Fred is an indoor cat. But this morning, as she sat at her favorite window, staring out-of-doors, a stray cat happened to come up onto our porch, and confront Fred through the window! This huge white, long-haired cat was attacking the window! Well, naturally, Fred reciprocated. The hissing and slapping at the window was hilarious! The deep cat growling went on for the longest time, even once Texican shooed the stray away from the porch. [I'm still laughing over it. And Fred is still guarding the window most solemnly! LOL]

While I didn't feel at all well the past two days, I did occasionally pick up my knitting needles. I've got all except the last 4 rows of ribbing completed on the scarf/ cowl I am making...

...I will be glad to have this project completed... I really don't like it at all.

It as a purchased kit, and glad I no longer purchase these! The last few I made, I found the materials quite inferior. Still, I will wear it. It should look okay against something dark, say a black or brown sweater.

What are you doing today?

Will you be knitting or crocheting?

What's on your menu for dinner this evening?
