Although I still have swelling occurring in my left leg when I am up too long, I did not have it happening to me as badly today. I was able to spend a great deal of the day doing a few things that I needed to get done.
The Beast cut some breast meat off the chicken I made yesterday and I made some good gravy for it so we were able to have some open face chicken sandwiches with lots of yummy gravy over it. He also cut a couple *slabs* of stuffing from the bread pan (and they really were slabs...LOL!) that we heated up along with some peas, for a change. I was surprised he selected peas for our vegetable because he isn't really fond of them. But I guess we all need a change on occasion. I just know it tasted great.
He had cut breast meat earlier and that was our meat for sandwiches that we had for lunch. I was so glad I had gotten a decent sized roaster chicken, even if it was on the pricey side. Getting at least three meals out of it made it a reasonable investment. AND...there is still enough meat left on the chicken for me to make some chicken salad, which I plan to do tomorrow.
I am horrified at how expensive meats have become. Even ground beef is just awful for anything decent. But at least a good plan makes some purchases not too bad a deal. The Beast hasn't complained, which he usually does when HE hasn't made the purchase.
He is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the tablet he ordered. However, there seems to be some confusion about just WHEN it is being delivered. He was originally told when it was shipped and that it would be delivered on Wednesday, which is what his Prime membership should be entitling him. It guarantees two day delivery. But today he got an email that said it would be delivered on Thursday. When he went online to track it, it showed that it arrived here in our local Post Office today, which should mean delivery tomorrow. He was totally confused by the disparity. I told him to ignore the email because, if it was already here in town, he would get it tomorrow as was originally told to him. We shall see.
He is so anxious to get it set up and it frustrates him that he will have to wait a couple hours while he charges it up. I hadn't thought about that part...duh! But it will keep him busy tomorrow and out from under my feet while I am making the chicken salad. I just hope it is delivered early since it is coming USPS and not just regular mail. If it had been sent Fed-Ex, we wouldn't get it until around 5 PM. That's when it usually comes with them.
I hate that my blogs seem to revolve around food lately but that's pretty much my life when I can't do much walking. I'm so glad my leg is healing well but I had forgotten about the need to build up strength again since my muscles were all cut up to hell for this surgery. But I am anxious and will be continually getting up and down and walking to exercise it. I know what I need to do to get myself back up to speed. It won't be fun but I am determined. I have plans of my own that I want to be able to do and I need to be able to walk so the Beast will stop acting like I am a cripple.
Love you all. I hope your week has gone well so far and that you have a great Hump Day. ***Hugs***
