This weekend has been exceptionally eventful; activities have ranged from performing maintenance tasks beneath an RV to addressing issues of corporate misconduct in a medical setting. All the while making informed meal selections and accommodating updated dietary requirements. I originally wrote this two weeks ago. Life got in my way but I'm doubling down and pushing through til the end.
Yesterday served as my designated Saturday, during which we endeavored to complete all necessary errands within a single day. We were up and headed out the door at what I call an early hour because I got home at like 4am. Alex has started his bariatric journey, so we had to go find him some snacks. Turns out Sentara has a weight loss store over in Norfolk that he wanted to try, so we headed that way. By the time we got it was regular people lunch time, so we got our steps in at the outlet mall about 10 minutes away. When we got back to the store, I hadn't seen Alex that happy since they told him what would go along with his surgery in order to feel better.
After nap time, (because we are firm believers in a good nap, or at least I am) we went to do laundry, go to Walmart, and fix the RVs power cable. The previous owner of Christine (the RV) advised us to purchase 30-amp cords, but we required a 50-amp cord. The power outage was causing us to lose important components in Christine. Last night, we ran the new cord under Christine, through the trench Alex dug, over the garage door, connected it to the new surge protector, and buried it so my dad won’t hit it with the lawn mower.
After that and a shower I made chicken over veggies with a sweet potato for me and some instant potatoes from the program for Alex. I had to use the harvest from last week before it went bad, so I cut up the zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, and Chinese eggplant and put them on a sheet pan. Then added olive oil cumin and Italian seasoning. I added thawed chicken breast seasoned with our homemade Cajun blend, available in the Katis Kitchen section of the website. In case you want to check it out. Roasted them all at 350 for about 30 minutes. I got hungry towards the end so the last 10 minutes I broiled everything to make sure it was cooked properly.
Today's dilemma is headaches. At my annual checkup early July, I told my doctor I needed a new prescription for my headaches since last year's wasn't effective, so they sent it to the pharmacy. I was informed that I needed additional paperwork and my request was denied, so I returned to the doctor who said they would address the issue. However, I have now been waiting for an hour. That old lady was so rude I wish I had got her name, anyways, I had to be reseen to get a new prescription. I think I’m going to ask to go see Alex's neurologist so I can figure out how to control the headaches. My biological niece has the same issues so I’m hoping to find out something soon. Until then that's all the gossip ive got for this blog... Happy Cooking!
