Update - Medical, Car, Home, Food, Plans, etc.

Life keeps rolling along. Sometimes it moves faster than I like at this time of my life, but hey, it’s moving - that’s a good thing.

Medical - a few appointments in February, scattered. They include one to the lumpectomy surgeon and one to a new oncologist to discuss results of a tissue sample sent for breast-cancer-risk DNA to determine whether I’m high or low risk for re-occurrence, and another - so far.

Car - Repairs are needed oftener now on this ’01, which would not have been a big issue 20 years ago when I was younger and had a good job. Now, however, it's obvious it's going to happen oftener. A friend and I have been talking off and on and there might be a solution of sorts coming up soon, so there’s a nice strong ray of hope.

Home/Food - Still doing food prep daily, almost, but the results are great for times when I don’t feel like doing any of it at all and I can yank things out of the freezer. Today, for example, I made my quick-and-easy chicken soup on the stove. It made enough for me to pack 7 servings. I also whipped up a batch of yogurt smoothies and packed 11 servings from that. The other thing I did along those lines was to take a package of 16 little breakfast sausages (form a food pantry) and just boil them all and then pack them in little sets of 3. I love to chop one as just enough taste and not too much cholesterol and/or fat, for my little veggie omelets.

Plans - I am still doing charity crafting along the way, and doing Swagbucks surveys which have been yielding at least one $25 gift card a month, often two of those. I use those for kitty supplies and household supplies because food pantries and such rarely, if ever, cover supplies. The recent months’ of medical issues did cut into that time.

So, I’ve been keeping on keeping on. De-cluttering? That has been taking a back seat, I’m afraid, but all in its own good time...

Rolling along...
