The main dish was a purposely overcooked ( need to make it soft for my sweetie )  stirfry with onions, bell peppers, yellow squash, asparagus, carrot, broccoli, chicken and a bunch of seasonings. Sort of an orientalish flavor. With a side of cottage cheese.

Nice! My dinner was similar. Stir fried steak, crab meat, onions, bell peppers, carrots, garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and topped with hoisin, in a bowl or wrapped in a soft tortilla.

See? I can cook, too, as long as I'm not on the fridge!



I'm happy to see you're taking good care of our Michelle!

Oh my! yes please! All of you ladies really know how to cook. I have to get off my b*** and buy a Wok and try my hand at stir fry. So much better than just rice and steamed veggies.

Yum! Hugs ladies!

You surprise me Steph, I had no idea you could wok, talk, and chew gum at the same time let alone cook. All we ever hear about is you flying off to meals.
  By the way I hear you are almost as old as me now...

Happy Birthday,  Stephanie!

Hugs,

I just went through the great American ritual of the new middle age...

I applied for Medicare coverage.   :P

What!  Even after those dozen or more applications?? 
Yeah, I didn't either....

Me neither. Especially since they send one mailing every couple of weeks to some guy who doesn't live here any more. Those are immediately relegated to the trash can - with prejudice.

Nope, don't chew gum. But I can wok, talk, and post on Susan's at the same time.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. Sixty down and sixty to go.

I agree. They are way too expensive for me. I refuse to admit I'm that old. I'm not going gracefully. I will go kicking and screaming. Take your pick.

It's Sunday night and here I am alone in my little home.

@Laurie has appointments in Oregon this week, and so headed north today.  Naturally I miss her already.  We just spent over 5 weeks in intimate proximity, between the mini-road trio and the past two weeks at my home. She has been a wonderful companion and caregiver, herding me through my FFS and almost two weeks of recovery.

My boarder Robyn is still in hospital in Florida, after some minor complications around her GCS.  she should be back at the end of the week.

Meanwhile, it's just me for a few days.  I have some appointments coming up, and a few friends I'll be seeing.  The quiet will probably do me good. I can get caught up on the usual paperwork of life.

The FFS recovery is ticking along.  Swelling seems to be easing off slightly and I am already starting to get a little sensation on the chin, as well as the 'zaps' on the forehead from nerve reconnections.  The staples and stitches on the big forehead incision are gone, and that is healing nicely.  I'm still working on cleaning my hair.  Yuck!

So, quiet times, for once.
Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

So glad you are doing well.  That the swelling is beginning to come down and you are doing well. 

Can't wait to hear more updates and see you soon.
