Waiting to see if they work or not.
I goofed and ate a glazed doughnut
(it was calling out to me!)
not long after taking the Imodium.
Now I have a queasy stomach.
My hands and felt feel so swelled
and are throbbing. Ahhh!
5 more days til I go see the family
doctor. Then I will probably have
to wait longer to get the blood
work results. Man it seems like
I've had to wait so long just to
see the doctor. I guess the reason
is they have another doctor that's
away for 3 weeks.
Not one who sees doctors. Then when
I need one no one is available.
Just my luck! I'm so ready for them
to tell me what is wrong so we
can get to working on resolving it.

I'm bummed. I never got The Bag today
with my store ads. Going through
withdrawal at the moment not being
able to match up sales to coupons
looking for the best bargains for
the upcoming week.
I can always go online tomorrow
to check out Walgreens and Meijer.
Kroger won't have theirs up til Monday
as that's when their new week starts.
Kroger-Monday
Walgreens-Sunday
CVS-Sunday
Meijer-Sunday
Giant Eagle- Wednesday

Possible seed shortage? Has anyone heard of this yet?
This is the first I saw or heard about it.
Cucumbers, carrots, snap peas and onions.
If you find them buy them early as the supply
is limited due to bad crops last year!

I'm a newbie to gardening. Last year I tried the upside
down method in hanging baskets. I won't be doing that this year and will plant
everything in the ground. Upside down containers require
that you water them all the time. The water runs out of
the baskets. While I did get tomatoes and peppers to grow
it wasn't as many as it should have been had I planted
it in the ground. So I do not recommend it. Try container
gardening instead.
I do recommend a book called square foot garden.
It shows you how to get the most produce
out of a small space.

Columbus libraries have it.

This morning's breakfast
Peach Cobbler Belgian Waffles
YUMMY YUM YUM!
I think it was Dollar General that I found
this peach cobbler muffin mix for around
a buck.
You can use pancake or muffin mixes to make
all sorts of waffles.
I especially like the Jiffy Muffin Mixes.
This muffin mix called for 1/2 cup milk.
I added just a tad bit more to make it
the consistency of a pancake batter.
These are great for freezing!
When needed pop them in a toaster then serve!
