Thirsty? How about a nice Hawaiian *PUNCH*!

Okay, this blog might win the "whatever" award, but, that doesn't matter to me. :P I have a headache and I'm "babysitting the oven". (Btw K10 I made "nuns belly" this morning... =) turned out pretty good, I doubled the recipe, but only used 1 & 1/2 servings of the eggs cuz they were xlarge). I was at Walgreens last week doing some miscellanous shopping. As some of you know, a couple years or so ago, Crystal Light introduced 5-calorie "On the Go" packets, you mix them with bottled water, and they're only 5 calories. See here for more info. Then other companies caught on and started doing this, I picked up some of the Wylers' brand which are very tasty, and sugar free I might add. Some of the flavors of which I bought include (what I've tasted) Hawaiian Punch Lemon Berry Squeeze (Sugar Free) and Hawaiian Punch Berry Blue Typhoon, also sugar free, and very pretty to look at I might add. I don't know if Walgreens still has the sale, but they were a dollar each, each pack comes with 8 envelopes. That's pretty good consindering Crystal Light and Weight Watchers sells them for an average of $3-$4 a box. I'm finding them a very good way to drink water, I'm not big on just drinking water, but I have cut way back on drinking sodas and feel just as refreshed drinking these. I got hooked awhile back and bought a whole bunch of packets and was almost emptied out of them when I found the Wylers packets. Go grab some!! (Note, they work best with 20 oz bottles, however, I have a plastic cup that holds just over a quart of water, and the taste in that size is still pretty strong)...=)

Pictures

OK I don't know how long these pics will be here, the last time I included clipart, it didn't remain in the blog very long for some reason...
Here's a pic of my toe... =/ I know i know the nail is HUGE but I'm afraid to touch it!!!
And here's an Avon award I recieved for my 5 year mark... I'll dig up the plate and write about the inscription later, sorry....
Enjoy ???

Today's adventures.....

Sorry it's been awhile; I've been fighting another cold, was thinking I had another sinus infection for awhile.... this morning after the meeting at the bctr, I hung out with Scott for awhile and he took me to the Dr. this afternoon. (if you have a weak stomach, stop reading....) Just as I feared, my toenail is once again infected. So Monday he's going to pull THE WHOLE THING.... he pulled part of it 6 months ago and it was almost fully healed... but it looks icky and is painful and I wanted to get it taken care of before going to Mexico next week. So aside from taking Kefflex and Alavert (i think)?, too lazy to check, for allergy stuff, I'm having a blast... :P I haven't been on much, haven't read blogs or anything, you guys know how I do with a lot of reading that isn't scrolling sometimes...... =( NO I'm not making excuses...
Anyhoo, I'm also still sorta mystified about last week's events. =/
Am going to go soak my feet and the rest of me for awhile......
And now we return you to your
regularly scheduled surfing...

Frustrated

Well this is going to be another BLARG blog.... I am so frustrated, I did not get very much sleep at all last night. With John's mom being in the hospital again (I swear, Darrin or Ed if you are reading this and John finds out I posted this he will kill me since he hasn't contacted you guys yet!).... heh... and Nancy having died last night, I am very frustrated. Last night John's mom was taken by ambulance because she could not even sit up in bed, she hadn't had much of an appetite for the last while, and was only eating partial meals. Well, to make a long story short, the ER was packed last night, she finally got to one of the ICU departments at midnite... oddly enough, my friend Nancy was in the same hospital and died last night, I'm wondering if she was in the same ICU, let alone the same room... very eerie... Nancy never really bounced back from her heart attack, and last night when a friend went to visit, Nancy was not responsive, so they called Code Blue, and she was gone. I first met Nancy when I got a job at the blind center and we had been pretty good friends for awhile, but shortly before my Dad died, for some reason Nancy and I became more and more distant. I have a lot of guilt in my heart...
Nancy's friend Debbie was supposed to be my travel companion for the Mexico trip... but she decided not to go now and move back into Nancy's house until things get worked out, Nancy had no will or durable power of attorney or anything. Grand Circle Travel wants to charge me an extra $250 in Debbie's absence even though I paid insurance... they mumbled something about paying the insurance back but I'd still have to pay double occupancy for the room for two weeks in various locations. I was ready to give them my CC #, mom got off her phone call and stopped me and she's pissed... I went out to the hospital later, and mom said she was going to give them a call after she had company come and go. When I got home she was sacked out so who knows what's going to happen.
John told me Sara has kenotosis but I can't find much on that, I think he's got the wrong word, because from what I did find that just pertains to motion sickness. Sara's electrolites are really out of whack, along with her sugar and potassium. They moved her to a regular room today and claimed she MIGHT be going home tomorrow but I'm not very optimistic. I've been trying to hound John via text stating I think he got the wrong word for Sara's diagnosis, but haven't heard back from him. Scott, who just finished a medical term. class, was going to try to help as well, but without knowing fully what the word is we're at a loss. This morning, Sara's sugar was 68-69, this afternoon it was 555, it had been bouncing all over the place, and they were trying to feed her a standard diet, some with high sugar, and juice... Tomorrow I have my Stanford Neurology consultation... right now I just want to hide under a rock for awhile, I didn't get very much sleep last night due to agitation..
I'll keep you guys posted...I don't know how useful I'll be for cooking on Thursday.
