Menus and Miles for Roz - Monday, December 23rd

Didn't see the post started - so thought I'd get it going.

Ended up going and getting my folks last night because they are without power and expected to be for another 3-5 days.  My daughter and I had to drive 45 minutes and coerce them.  I got a lot of reasons why they didn't need to come down, but they finally gave in.  So it's my folks, me and my sister all under one roof again - oh fun!  I can see the family drama going to start.  My sister has something against my mother... so I can see me having to intervene.  I just hope it doesn't get to that.  

Their house was already 55 degrees last night when we picked them up. I'm SO glad my daughter went with me... she drove their car to my place and said it drove like crap - SO... I get to put it in the shop and get the brakes checked out.  It also needs tires, but we'll see how the brakes work out. 

Eating today - hmmm... not sure.  

B - coffee

L - some BBQ beef (no bun/bread)

S - 2 SF bread/butter pickle spears, a few peanuts

S - veggie straws

D - no idea, but will probably order something easy.  

Vits:  yes

water:  working on my ice tea

Hope everyone is having a great day and ready for Christmas!

Thanks Jody!    How old are your parents?  I hope there isn't any drama  and you get to enjoy being with your family.

They're in their 80's... My dad has advanced Parkinsons so he's pretty immobile and 100% dependent on my Mom.

I'm not feeling the Christmas spirit too much this week.  My 92 year old grandmother was rushed to the ER yesterday with a hematoma on her brain.  She had surgery today and it went well but we were just a mess yesterday.  I'm glad she seems to be doing well after surgery but it will stink not to have her home for Xmas.  I still have much wrapping to do and I have a sore throat and an upset tummy :(  bah humbug!

B: nothing

L: half a leftover hamburger with some coleslaw on the side

S: skinny pop

D: I think veggie burger with some salad..not feeling food right now though.

Wow - a lot to go through at Christmas.  Swinging critters all is well for your grandma!

I thought I was responding to your post but it ended up under Roz's post.  I think I had another senior moment. I forget how many that makes for the day.

*Like*  and *Understand*!

glad your parents came with you.  It's too cold to leave them with no power.  Roz, I am a little envious of you with the grands but I am overwhelmed with just my little bit and I can't imagine having all you do to deal with.

got the billing done this morning then worked with the vet to see what was going on with Halley.  It was good news.  Evidently last week she pulled a muscle and was just stiff and tied up.  After some message and work and being on meds since Friday, she seemed back to her old self.  Hurray.  We have a show in 3 weeks and can't just be sitting around.

It did stop raining and was warm this morning but the temp dropped all day and the wind was brutal.  all the low areas around me look like lakes.  Not sure what we got in terms of inches but it must have been in the 2-4 range like they predicted and we were already pretty wet.

Finished up the last of the shopping.  I hate fighting the traffic and crowds but I am done now.  Went to muscle pump tonight.
