Hard to beat pancakes...my wife went down to the local restaurant today to help her friend who owns it out.
She brought me home liver and onions for dinner....total treat for me she hasn't made me liver and onions in years....she hates it...here's the deal Rachel....I went in for an eye exam...haven't had one in 20 years. Fully expected it to go well.....I feel I see good......well seams I have significantly high eye pressures.
So now seams I might have glaucoma.
But after I told him I take prednisone now he feels is caused by the prednisone...another thing you should be aware of..... The good news is my ocular nerves are intact and good shape so I have to go back for a check in 6 , months.I guess my word for you is be aware that prednisone can cause this"induced" glaucoma symptom anyway.
Prednisone is a wonderful miracle drug that I needed to breathe better. But definitely has some wide ranging side effects.
One good note. Being in Iron Mountain at the VA hospital today had one advantage. I was able to call the Marquette office and get my pain med prescription fixed and pick it up in person at the pharmacy. They ship it out from Iron Mountain.
The pharmacy tech who fixed it her name was Candy. Over the phone they said "just go to the pharmacy and ask for"Candy" (they all laughed in the background)".
Being on pain meds sucks...but without then I'm pretty crippled up. Then there's the slight panic that happens when you realize your going to run out.
Avoid it if possible...just sometimes it's a fact of life for some of us.

My little niece Ashley has the same problem when she's on steroids....the pressure in her eyes goes way up. It started with her very first round of Chemo back in January and her very smart pediatric oncologist had actually been checking for it regularly because he's seen it so many times before. It responds very well to treatment, though. Now with every new round, her eyes are monitored as soon as treatment starts.

FLIES!!!

I thought it was due to our floor being cut and left open for days for the bleach and kilz to dry.....But Sunday, DH bought 2 fly swatters and those nasty fly strips and we got over 40 flies that same night. The worst is when you are trying to sleep and one over achiever fly keeps BUZZZZZZZing and BUZZZZZZZing, just as soon as you are almost asleep

.

DH said yesterday while I was at work the foreman of the construction crew was barking out orders at the crew and accidently backed into one of the fly strips

and it got stuck in his hair! I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall and seen that!!! LOL!!! The crew got a big laugh out of it.

Before


After


Because of the mold, the entire floor had to be ripped out and replaced. Still not 100% done, but I HAVE A KITCHEN SINK! AND A DISHWASHER

Have to clear out the laundry room before I leave for work. They are working in there today. You all have a beautiful morning! Sorry for my lack of posts...just been super crazy busy here.

That looks great! Funny how "normal" we feel when we can go to the sink and turn the handle on a faucet! This is the first house we've ever had where the kitchen window opened onto such beautiful view so I don't mind standing there washing up a few dishes. I have a dishwasher, but I never wash plastic bowls or pots and pans in it. Prefer to do those by hand. Besides, my dishwasher is only 18" wide!

oh Rachel I have just seen this thread,

you are on our prayer list.

Sally, I'll take some of those!!!

Know what I hate about flies....besides the obvious? They are so doggone sneaky!! Think about this - you're sitting at the table and there's one fly who seems to think the only place to land is on your face. You swoosh, he flies off, does an immediate U-turn, and he's right back on the same spot on your face. Over and over. Then you give one mighty swat at him and he flies off. By now you're watching the little booger closely because as soon as he lands somewhere you're going to nail him with your fly swatter. (Don't want to do that while he's on your face, right?) So he's flying around, little legs dangling down under him and suddenly BAM!! He's on the ceiling, walking around up there like he owns the place! How'd he DO that? One second his legs are dangling under him, the next second he's walking upside down. And you never saw him flip over, despite watching him the whole time! How'd he DO that? I'm telling you, they are sneaky!

Welcome to Team Rachel, Sally! Looks like you brought the fruit for breakfast, Rachel can bring a doggie bag full of pancakes, I'll bring the sausage (still got plenty in the freezer) and I'm sure between all of us we can scrape up a few eggs!

 

[lazy gardener]

I'm there for that breakfast, all over it like flies on road kill!!! How bout some fresh strawberries, still warm from the sunshine, with a bowl of icy cold vanilla yogurt? (Virtual breakfast here, so I can dream about the sun warmed berries, right???)

 

[Sally Sunshine]

eeeeewwww roadkill? flies?

Breakfast sounds wonderful, I havent had sausage in three moons! sorry I am late again to the table!

Oh the orange tree is another symbol of hope for Leukemia

and I think a few other things.
I am sure you can see why! And its know to reduce the chances for it if you eat it in early childhood!

a friend of mine makes those gem trees and does them in orange as well and I think his mom sells them on etsy for him,
like this one below (not his, he makes some cool items and spoon jewelry)

I'll bring some of my homemade cinnamon rolls to that breakfast you're all cooking up. Unless it's too late and you've moved on to lunch?
