I woke up with a flare up of my sciatica going down the back of my left leg on Saturday. I tell you this not for sympathy but to let you know that growing old is a REAL pain. So I need to get a lot done but I won’t get as much as I want to. I have spent part of my morning putting ice on my leg. I am supposed to do it three times a day. It did help for a while.
I pulled 2 pork rib eye steaks out of the freezer to thaw. Hubby grilled them indoors because it was raining here. We had cinnamon apples for the side.
Breakfast on Saturday morning was grilled cheese sandwiches and coffee. Then it was time to fill my pill containers. It is a job I hate to do, so I fill 4 weeks at once. Then I don’t have to do it every week.
All the laundry was done the other day. I think we will use coated paper plates so there will be hardly any dishes to rinse and put in the dishwasher.
I just finished entering two weeks worth of receipts into Fetch.
I scanned the weekly ad for Top’s that starts on Sunday. I will be using a $ 5.00/ $35.00 order Top’s coupon, $ 2.00 off fresh produce coupon, and a coupon for 100 extra gasoline points this week. I will keep my order as close to $35. as I can.
Hubby and I watched some of the college football games.
Sunday was another easy day. My son and West came to visit. We took them out to our favorite Greek restaurant for breakfast to celebrate my son’s birthday that was last Wednesday. I was happy not to have to stand to cook breakfast. Hubby made a homemade pizza for dinner. It was delicious.
I spent some time making a list of what I have to get done for Thanksgiving. I have a lot on my plate.
We again watched some pro football. But not the Bills because they have a week off.
I went to bed really early to rest my leg and so I could get up with Eloise. She slept late for a change.
It is Monday and I have a very busy day. I will be back tomorrow.

Hi Precious, so sorry your sciatica is flaring up again. Hopefully it will be better by the time you have to cook for Thanksgiving. Prayers from here.
We had a busy weekend. Hubby finished painting the shed. I took little granddaughter to one of her dance friend’s birthday parties while SIL was working and Daughter took older granddaughter to a women’s basketball game at our local university. I made some wonderful chicken noodle soup in the crock pot and some pumpkin bread. For the soup, I found some wonderful pappardelle pasta that just makes the soup taste delicious. It is more expensive than buying a bag of regular noodles, but I think it is worth it b/c the taste is so good. The brand is DeLallo. Highly recommend if you can find it. Otherwise I will bring you some the next time we visit.
Hi Chris,
Thanks. Prayers are always appreciated. Wow. You guys have been busy. I am glad that your Hubby got the shed done before the snows come. It was nice that both your grandaughters had something special to have fun.
I can almost smell that chicken noodle soup. Yum. I will have to try that pasta. Walmart has it.
