12:30pm

Went to the Twin Drive-In
Flea Market this morning.
Here's my deals I found:

2 boxes of food for $1.00 a box.
..I also bought an area rug
for the dining room for$5.00
It has rusty reds and creams in it.
About a 5' x 7'


Christopher got a heck of
a deal on a whole crate of
radio controlled motorcycles
and a helicopter. All have
controllers, rechargeable batteries
and chargers.
All for $1.00!!

With gas prices on the rise
I'm always looking for the cheapest gas.
Most places it's $3.59.
BUT if you go around Clintonville
area it's $3.29.
South Columbus is around
$3.40-$3.49

With the warmer sun shining
I opened up some windows
to air out the house some.
I was able to get a decent
picture of a possible paint
color that we chose, lol.
It's camel suede.I've been keeping my eyes out
for a microsuede tan/camel slip cover at
the thrift store. I know I've seen them
there before for around $2.99.
I want to use the fabric
to recover my dining room chair seats.
This is the cheaper route to go
when needing fabric for a project.
I price microsuede fabric
at Joann's for $13.00 a yard.

You know better weather is
just around the corner when
you can smell lighter fluid
wafting through the breeze.
Ahhhh, smells so good, lol.

5:00pm

Supper


Italian marinated Pollock fish
rolled in seasoned bread crumbs.

Package of Uncle Ben's whole
wheat rice. I cut up and added
some yellow and red bell peppers
and added a splash of soy sauce.

Broccoli with cheesy white sauce.

I saved the water that I boiled
my broccoli in and will freeze it.
Then will eventually add it
to my vegetable broth when
I make soups.

---------------------------

For a couple years now I have
been having problems with eating.
I notice it when eating
breads, pasta, rice and sometimes
other foods. Mom's been worried
that I might have throat cancer of all things
and has wanted me to visit the doctor.
Not something I particularly want
to do at the moment with so many
doctor bills hanging over our heads.
So I started doing some research
and think I have found an answer
as to what I have. It's called
Esophageal Motility.
I started reading all these threads
with the same symptoms I have
and it sounds EXACTLY like
what I've been going through.

Here's what I go through several
times a week when eating,
and yes it does become emberrassing
especially when eating out in public.
I can be eating away at a McDonald's
hamburger when it feels like it
gets stuck in my esophagus.
It's not like choking as I can still breath.
I take small bites when I eat and
drink plenty with each bite to
rectify the situation but nothing
I do helps the food go down.
If I drink fluids to wash it down
it only sits on top of the stuck food.
If I sit a minute to see if it will
pass and go down I then feel
extreme pain in my back between
my shoulder blades. Almost like
someone sticking in a knife and
twisting it. Eventually I have to
run to the bathroom and get sick
to get it unstuck.

I'm kinda glad to have put
a name to what I've been experiencing.
I do get acid reflux as well so wonder
if that could be a contributor to it.
And many years ago I had been
hospitalized for a swollen epiglottis (windpipe).
I was hospitalized for 3 days and
had a temp. of 105 degrees. I couldn't
hardly breath and lost my voice from it.
They had to put a scope up my nose
and down my throat.

Time to Spring forward!
Don't forget to set your clocks
ahead tonight!
