I decided today to make a tuna casserole, which I haven't made in ages. It's been so long that I think that's why I forgot one important ingredient. How I could forget it, I have no idea. Now, not everyone may add this but it's how our family made it and we've developed a taste for it that way. What I forgot was...peas. I kid you not. How could I forget that?
I cut up the onions and the celery, made the mushroom soup mixture, semi-cooked the noodles (they finish cooking in the soup mix) and mixed it up with the tuna, then poured it in the casserole dish. I had crushed the chips (but you don't put them on until near the end of the cook time) and I popped it in the oven. It was in the oven for about a half hour when it hit me....you forgot the peas, idiot! All I could do was hope that it still tasted decent. Oh, it did. It was filling and tasty but not as good as normal. At least, not to me. The Beast loved it but told me I should have put the crushed chips on more as a finish rather than cooking it (so they would still be crisp). I'll try it the next time. What I decided to do is take the leftovers, add the peas and a bit more soup, bake it for a bit and then garnish it with crisp chip crumbs...LOL. That should make the Beast happier to eat leftovers.
My day was otherwise quiet. I did run up to the store to pick up egg noodles and some more soup. I couldn't believe that we were down to just one can of Mushroom soup. I love it and I also use it in several different recipes. How this happened, I have no idea. Except the Beast has gotten kind of anal about both *Use by...(dates) or *Use before (dates)*. Even those *Best if used by...(dates)* on everything we have. He threw out a shitload of canned goods the other day. He said he just didn't want to take any chances. Okay, I can see that but he didn't think the Best if used by..really just meant the taste would start to deteriorate. I told him to please check with me before he empties our shelves again. Veggies show they are no good by starting to expand the cans. But, what do I know? In his mind....nothing.
Baron is still sleeping a lot but he's started dreaming more than I have known him to do. What's so upsetting is that he kind of cries in his sleep. I think it's pain that makes him cry and whimper. He's really sound asleep when he does that. The Beast needs to go get more pain meds for him from the vet. I can't stand to see how he hesitates when going down the garage ramp. He's not sure which back leg should go down first and he lifts one then the other and you can almost see him trying to decide how seriously he needs to go out (or not!). He's also started something new. He's been going INTO the bushes out front. I could hardly believe it when I heard rustling in them and then saw him coming out from among them. He's never done that before. I don't know if it's to pee or defecate or if he's just looking for a new place to hide from us. Weird.
I did, finally, get the Beast to give me some of the pictures he took of the Princess and Gunner but I haven't downloaded them yet. I'll do that tomorrow and post some of them on here then.
Time to go. Have a great week. Be happy. Love you all. ***Hugs***

I Had A Nice Day....
I was sitting at my desk but watching TV when my door suddenly opened and the sweetest little boy came in with a big smile on his face and surprised me! He gave me a kiss and a hug and then waved to me and went out to the living room.
The Princess was there, choosing pictures that the Beast had printed up. He had printed up two of the pictures that I had told him she would hate because they made her look fat. Sure enough, they were one's she didn't want. The heck of it is, they were one's that the wind got underneath and expanded the top she had on like a balloon. In real life, it didn't make her look fat at all except for that. In a couple other pictures, you could tell that.
I left them to sort through the pictures that the Beast hadn't printed up (they were looking at them on his computer). So I was left to entertain Gunner. That's easy. I just give him food....LOL. I had some Cheetos in here so he settled himself in my recliner and I turned on cartoons for him. When he had enough of the Cheetos, then it was Gummy Bears (you fill them up with sugar and send them home...LOL). But, I really don't like doing that because I worry about their teeth. But you CAN give them one at a time and not by handfuls. I even enticed the Princess with Caramel Cremes. Now THAT was funny!
I keep a few things in my desk drawer for the grandkids (okay, the GREAT-grands) when they come over. I also have some sugarless gum I keep for Chewlee but she can only have it here since her mother hates any gum. That's because Chewlee was always getting gum in her hair. I don't think she's done that in years, but mother's don't forget and won't take the chance.
When they finally left, I got a couple nice kisses from Gunner and some really good hugs. I even got hugs from the Princess. I was sorry to see them leave. But it made my day.
The Beast then got the pictures that he had printed up that I wanted in frames and hung them up on my wall in my computer room. I told him that they needed to be updated since a few of them that I have are from when Gunner was a baby. I didn't have any recent ones of the Princess either....but I do now. Now I just need the Beast to give me a couple of them on a thumb drive and I can then show them off here. I'll work on that tomorrow.
Time for me to get showered and ready for bed. I love you all. Don't forget to tell all those you love that you do. Life is just too short. Better to be happy that you said it than to regret it when it's too late. ***Hugs***

FiguresThis Would Happen To Me!
Today was the day of my CT scan. It was supposed to be at 1pm so I made sure I got there at 12:35pm so that my check-in wouldn't take me long. I get there and the desk informs me that I am going to have a long wait. Oh? She then tells me that my tests are scheduled for 1:30pm and my scan at 2:30pm. What tests?, I ask, stupidly. I then offer that all I was told was that I would be taking a CT scan at 1pm.
She then says, *From your doctor's office or the hospital?* So I tell her that it was the doctor's office and, if there was a change, I should have heard from the hospital. She agreed I should have but had no reason why I hadn't. Since I was a diabetic, I would need to take a BUN and Creatnine test to make sure my kidneys could handle the iodine contrast material before I could take the test. Oh, great! The hospital temp inside was about 30 degrees and it was just a little warmer outside but much windier. (An exaggeration but not by much!)
I was really a bit shocked by the change in the lobby area in just a few months. There are a lot of renovations going on. After the office checks me in, gives me the required bracelet (don't you hate those things?) and then is going to send me down to the *new* main lab, I asked how far away it was. Since I can't walk any real distance without my cane, she puts me into a wheelchair and takes me there. I would never have made it so I'm glad I asked.
It was in less than 5 minutes and I had my blood drawn (the gal did end up causing a huge bruise) and they wheeled me back to the front to wait for my CT scan. I was freezing my butt off even with a long sleeve top (I should have brought a jacket but I didn't think I would be there long). Thank goodness, a doctor saw me and asked if I was cold. When I said I was freezing, he send an MA out to me with warmed up blankets. Bless his heart. He also had looked at my name and routing slip and I was gathered up and wheeled to the CT lab within a short time.
After a short wait, I had the set-up done for the IV and I was ready. It took all of maybe 5 minutes and I was back in the lobby and ready to go. Boy, was I ever ready. As it is, I could hardly believe that it was 2:15pm and I was starving. I had left without eating breakfast since I didn't get up until 10am (and I can't eat right away after waking). At least my coffee was waiting for me in the warm car. Thankfully, although cold out, it was bright and sunny so it kept the car. and my coffee, nice and warm. That held me until I got home.
I found the Beast gathering up his stuff for taking pictures of the Princess and Gunner (there were no pictures of Chewlee because she had piano lessons today...sigh) but the pictures he took were incredible. I did give my opinion on a couple of the ones he took of the Princess only because I knew she would hate them because the top she was wearing over her shirt (like a big, uneven point cape) made her look fat and she isn't. But I couldn't see him making them up without cropping them or she wouldn't want them. At least, I sure hope so or she's going to kill me. I swear, that girl cannot take a bad picture! I told the Beast that the best money we ever spent was when we sent her to modeling school. And we sent her to the best one, too. Of course, we could afford John Cassavette's then. We owned our business. Her makeup is flawless and so is her complexion. She's just plain beautiful so that helps.
Well, I'm really beat so I am going to get this posted. Love you all. ***Hugs***

R.I.P. My Dear Aunt..... ( Blog #2)
An aunt I loved dearly passed away in her sleep yesterday. It was peaceful and exactly as she hoped her passing would be. She had known she was dying for a couple years. It was her choice not to do chemotherapy or radiation for her breast cancer that had metastasized to her lungs. She felt she had lived a good life and all she wanted to do was live her life, enjoy her grandchildren and die in her own home, not a hospital. Although I know she did have some pain she tried not to complain about, it wasn't for a long time.
She had her sister, her daughter-in-law and a hospice worker that stayed with her at different times. I thank God for that. I know she loved her time with her sister and her daughter-in-law was wonderful to her. I'm just sorry I didn't get to visit with her when I was in Chicago and that I can't attend her funeral. But I loved her very much and told her that when I saw her last. We had spoken a couple times about her decision and I knew that chemo and radiation would only have made her too ill to enjoy her life and wouldn't have helped once the cancer had started metastasizing to her organs.
She lived her life and the end of her days in her way and I applaud that. Am I sad that she is not longer among us? Yes. It's hard to think of her not being here any more. But she will always be in my heart. Rest in peace, Aunt Rose. I love you and will miss you dearly.

How In The World.....?
I really have to check my facts at times. I swear, I really thought that the Princess and Brenda had made banana pudding. It puzzled me but I thought if it had a lot of sliced bananas in it, it would probably be great. Today, I actually tasted what they had left here and, to my surprise, it was Auntie Em's infamous rice pudding! I say *infamous* because anyone that has had it, wants to be able to make it. It really is delicious.
Today the Beast bought a new couch. No, he never asked me what I thought about doing that. Yes, he just decided that he hated the one we had (another pick of his) and he bought it without me ever seeing it. I absolutely HATE the pattern on it. It reminds me of a real old-time material. But, I have to tell you....it's a down couch. Yep, down...as in feathers. When I sat on it, I understood just why he HAD to have it. It has to be the most comfortable couch I have ever sat on. You could sleep like a baby on it, too. Incredible.
Of course, the *down-side* of that is having to refluff the pillows every time someone sits on it. It doesn't have that *neat* look that most of us like. At least, I do. It might be different if I liked the pattern. I don't know. But the pattern is mostly brown with cream. Kind of a neutral thing except it really won't go well with the colors we had chosen for painting the living room. We will either have to keep the colors we have or select new ones. Why does the Beast do this kind of stuff to us?
I gather that the Beast is taking pictures of the Princess and both kids tomorrow after she picks Chewlee up from school. She has a place in mind to take the pictures so she's coming here and then they will go to the area. He's been dying to take more pictures of someone or somewhere since he's learned to use his new lens well now. I hope he gets some great pictures. I'd like to share them with ya'll then. *Grin*
Love you all. ***Hugs***

Banana Pudding, Potato Pancakes And A Nice Visit.....
I called the Princess and asked her why she didn't tell me that they (Brenda and kids included) were planning on coming over on Thursday. She told me she never told the Beast Thursday because Brenda planned on leaving to visit another friend here in Alabama on Thursday. She said that they were coming to visit today because the Beast promised to make some potato pancakes for them.
So that made me rush to neaten up my computer room since I knew that the kids (Chewlee and Gunner) would be in there, if nothing else. So you know what that means, don't you? You got it! I didn't get my closet packed away like I wanted. No, I am not deliberately finding excuses. I really and truly want to get this done.
Brenda, the Princess and the kids left just a little bit ago. From what Brenda said to me after we hugged was that she was leaving. I think she might actually be leaving tonight to go to her friends house. I think it's just an hour away so she just might.
The Beast came home from being out with several of his church friends this afternoon and jumped right into making a huge bowl of potato pancake mix. We all laughed with him, made jokes and talked about the time he made potato pancakes with the strongest onion fumes we ever encountered. We had to open all the doors and windows to try to get rid of them, all the while our eyes were tearing. I kid you not. I've never run across another onion that strong since, either. And I don't want to! LOL
The Princess and Brenda played a little joke on the Beast. He wanted some of the banana pudding they made. They told him that it turned out edible but not real good so they presented him with the tiniest storage bowl (snack size?) full of it. It held maybe 3 tablespoons full. He tried it and said they were full of it. He thought it tasted great! That's when they started laughing and the Princess went out to her car to get the REAL container for him. They had made a pact that, if he ate the small container-full and agreed with what they had been saying about it not being good, he wouldn't get the real container. If he liked it and told him he thought it was really good, then he would get the bigger container. They laughed a lot over it all because the deal was that he would get some of the banana pudding for making the potato pancakes. That tiny bit was NOT what the Beast expected. He was much, much happier with the larger container.
I got to play a lot with Gunner after dinner. The Beast, the Princess and Brenda played cards with Chewlee dividing her time watching them play and hiding on Gunner. She also grabbed him and tickled him, which was adorable. Gunner loved it. He sat in my lap for a bit, while we watched Bubble Guppies on TV. When I got into my recliner, he had to come up and sit with me. He loved it when I put the back down and he snuggled up to me. I just love his laugh!
Well, time to jump in the shower and get ready for bed. I'm tired. I have to go to the hospital on Saturday at 1pm for my CT scan and then I see my vascular doctor on Tuesday to get the good/bad news and see my scan for myself. Love you all. ***Hugs***

More Tests? Ugh!
So I go to see my vascular doctor today..... His office was jammed with people and I realized how big his practice must be now from when I first started seeing him. He was a brand new doctor in our area and the only vascular surgeon in three counties. There are a couple more now but then he was the only one.
I really like him. He doesn't talk down to you. He takes his time and will answer any questions you might have even if you think they might be silly ones. He loves it when you joke around (I do a lot of that when I go into surgery....before they knock me out). Today he had an intern with him and I looked at her and thought she looked like a baby. Not like someone within 3 years or so of being another vascular surgeon. I was shocked to find out she was 24 years old. I would have guessed around 13...LOL. She will be with my doctor for a year and then she will be assigned to another vascular doctor. She says she actually hopes to stay with him longer because she admires his ease with patients and his surgical techniques (so far!).
So he tells me he wants me to have a CT scan so he gets a better view of my arteries in my neck. He said that he would show them to me when he gets them back so I can see what he wants to do and why. I said that means I get to ask more questions and make a decision. He laughed and said he didn't imagine that *I* would ever just go along with a doctor I didn't trust or if I had my doubts about a procedure. He's right about that. We've had many a discussion about things done to me before I would let him do them.
His nurse will be calling me tomorrow to tell me when I go for my CT scan and she will also set up my appointment with my doctor for after it's done. I hate waiting. Hell, I hate having to take MORE damn tests even though a CT scan isn't so bad. I've had them before. I just hate having to be so still for as long as they take. It's different for each type but still.....
I found out that one of the Beast's nieces is staying with the Princess for a couple days. She's a Special Needs teacher in Tennessee and I haven't seen her in ages. I've known her since she was a baby and now her baby is in her last year of college. Time flies. Her hubby is a policeman in Tennessee and doesn't get a *Fall Break* so she's by herself. I'm going to go over to the Princess' tomorrow so I can see her and visit for a bit. I may call Cee to see if she would like to take the ride with me. She's knows Brenda, too, and might like seeing her. I know she hasn't seen her in a much longer time than me. The Beast isn't *into* family these days (his church is his family now) so he just told me to say hello to her. Oh, wow!
Today was the last day Baron got a shot of antibiotics (7 days already?) and now it's kind of wait and see. He's still not eating like he should but we need to see what happens in the next few days. He's been so good about his shots and his meds for his stomach. I hope he starts acting more like our old Baron even if he DOES walk slower...LOL.
Love you all. Be good. Be happy most of all. Be kind to everyone. It might be the only kindness someone gets that day and it can mean the world in their life. You never know. ***Hugs***
PS: A short time after I told the Beast I was going to take the ride over to the Princess' to see Brenda, he comes into my computer room and says, *I don't know why you want to go there to see Brenda when they are coming here on Thursday, I think they said.* I was totally pissed and said, *Nice going. Why didn't you tell me she was here or that they were planning on coming over?* He said to me...get this....*Oh, I thought I did tell you.* No, you didn't. Just another time I'm kept in the dark. I'm not sure if it's his age, his memory or if he thinks I can read his mind. *Smack* So maybe I will just call the Princess to tell her I am going to stay home and finish my packing up of my summer clothes since they were planning on coming over in another day. I can make some snacks for us then. What do you think? Tata for now.

Hell, I hate having to take MORE damn tests even though a CT scan isn't so bad. I've had them before. I just hate having to be so still for as long as they take. It's different for each type but still.....
I found out that one of the Beast's nieces is staying with the Princess for a couple days. She's a Special Needs teacher in Tennessee and I haven't seen her in ages. I've known her since she was a baby and now her baby is in her last year of college. Time flies. Her hubby is a policeman in Tennessee and doesn't get a *Fall Break* so she's by herself. I'm going to go over to the Princess' tomorrow so I can see her and visit for a bit. I may call Cee to see if she would like to take the ride with me. She's knows Brenda, too, and might like seeing her. I know she hasn't seen her in a much longer time than me. The Beast isn't *into* family these days (his church is his family now) so he just told me to say hello to her. Oh, wow!
Today was the last day Baron got a shot of antibiotics (7 days already?) and now it's kind of wait and see. He's still not eating like he should but we need to see what happens in the next few days. He's been so good about his shots and his meds for his stomach. I hope he starts acting more like our old Baron even if he DOES walk slower...LOL.
Love you all. Be good. Be happy most of all. Be kind to everyone. It might be the only kindness someone gets that day and it can mean the world in their life. You never know. ***Hugs***
PS: A short time after I told the Beast I was going to take the ride over to the Princess' to see Brenda, he comes into my computer room and says, *I don't know why you want to go there to see Brenda when they are coming here on Thursday, I think they said.* I was totally pissed and said, *Nice going. Why didn't you tell me she was here or that they were planning on coming over?* He said to me...get this....*Oh, I thought I did tell you.* No, you didn't. Just another time I'm kept in the dark. I'm not sure if it's his age, his memory or if he thinks I can read his mind. *Smack* So maybe I will just call the Princess to tell her I am going to stay home and finish my packing up of my summer clothes since they were planning on coming over in another day. I can make some snacks for us then. What do you think? Tata for now.
