10:00am

See I told you I wasn't in my right mind.
Kept saying I didn't have any freezer meals.
I was looking in my big freezer for any
freezer meals and not seeing any when
last night I discovered I had kept them in
the refrigerator freezer upstairs, duh.
I still have potato soup, bean soup
and chicken al la king in the freezer.
I had me a big ole bowl of potato
soup before bed, yummy!
That made me sleep well through the night.
And now I have 10 pounds of potatoes
and a ham to make more meals out of.
So we should be set for a little while.
I should make up a bunch of ham,
egg and biscuit sandwiches for breakfast
freezer meals for the kids in the mornings.
I can get 4 days worth from one
can of biscuits for 2 kids (8 count Grands).

The doctor came in this morning
around 6:30 to check Tony's infection
in his knee/leg. He said it looked
better than yesterday. He took the wrap
off and left it off.
Nothing was said at that time about
being released from the hospital
so we are waiting to see what they do.

1:45pm

Doctor came in again to check on Tony.
He said he could be released from
the hospital today, woo hoo!
He will have to stay off work for
another 3-4 days from what the doctor said.
Not sure when they will release him
since I'm sure it will take awhile
to get all the paper work done up.

3:00pm

Left for the hospital.

6:00pm

Just arrived home.
Picked Tony up from the hospital.
He's walking so much better!!
Went over to Kroger in UA
to get a couple prescriptions for him.
Before now Tony couldn't even walk
around a store and if he did it
was at a snail's pace, literally.
Today it felt so good seeing him
walk a little bit of a normal pace
without cringing in so much pain.

While waiting for prescriptions
I found these deals:

A football shaped deli tray
with pepperoni, cheese cubes
and crackers for $3.99.
Was something like $12 before mark down.

Kung Zhu Battle Hamster $3.50
Kung Zhu Battle Hamser Special Forces Amor $3.00
reg. $10

2 Pumpkin Bread Kits
each make 2 loaves
includes cans of pumpkin,
bread mix and vanilla icing for $1.50 each.
Regular $6
And lastly a 3.5 pound combo package with
steak, pot roast and stew meat.
I paid $6.22
was $12.15 on sale
(was $19.11 before sale)
I'm making some pot roast tomorrow
in the crock with some potatoes and carrots!
Pot roast around here is a treat for sure!!

Interesting news from channel 28.
Tony says before leaving work Monday
he remembered seeing the eviction
notice taped to this football player's
apartment.
Now this player has made the news
because he had enough money
to get tattoos and not pay his rent.
This football player lived
where Tony works.
This news story is on tonight
at 10pm on channel 28.

Today I was asked about libraries.
If you are disabled and love to
read books how does one get to the library
to pick up those books.

Well I wanted to share with you something
that I just discovered and are learning about.
Tonight I went to the library's website to
look up a few books. I noticed a link
that said digital download.
Of course I clicked on it as I had
never seen that before.
I am currently looking at the tutorials
about how to download at the virtual library.
You can go HERE to look through
this new option I found for the library.
Click on this guy to go to the list of
tutorials to see how to do it.

Digital Media Guided Tour

I hope this is helpful to those who
may not have transportation to go
to their public library or may have
a disability preventing them from going.
It's a start.
Just letting you know it's something I
just happened upon and know nothing
about it til I read and learn what
it's about.

This is for the Columbus Public Library.
If you are outside Columbus, you may
want to look your library up online
to see if they have a virtual library.
It is only for people with computers though.
