Well I was hoping to work tonight and tomorrow so my check wouldn't be so short. However I am having a belly ache. Had it since last night. The kind that feels like you just did 50 sit ups for the first time ever the night before, except you know that didn't happen since I haven't exercised for weeks!
It is probably nothing but he gave me the magic purple pill, freeby's yah, and wants to wait until tomorrow to make sure the tummy is better. I should have kept my mouth shut. Sometimes he says you get stomach problems for awhile after this surgery until everything starts working again, however with my history of adhesions he doesn't want to release me and have it be a bigger problem. Makes sense but Sigh, I'm broke.
Now I live very simply. Small 3 bedroom ranch, no TV, trac phone, you name it, my son gave me the computer and pays for it. So there really isn't anything I can cut out when I am short of money. Well maybe the gym, but I think that is necessary for me in the winter. If I didn't have the gym I would sit here getting as fat as my squirrels, who am I kidding, I am as fat as my squirrels, my husband feeds me too! Oh well,
We have lived on potatoes and rice for 2 weeks before and the nice thing about my childhood, I can stretch a penny farther then anyone I know, LOL. Oh, I guess I could give up my occasional and much loved beer! Wait! Things aren't that bad yet, LOL. For lunch I had poor man's garlic noodles, Take a package of ramen noodles, I throw away the salty seasoning, smart balance margarine, garlic pepper salt free seasoning and a sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, low fat, really cheap, and filling! Now when I am rich and not dieting I make it like this,
Slice 8 cloves of garlic thin, sauté in olive oil until opaque but not browned, add 1 pint whipping cream and fresh ground pepper, cook until liquid reduced. Pour over thin spaghetti noodles and add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve along side jumbo shrimp or chicken breasts, Yummy. Fattening probably but yummy. The garlic keeps the politicians away, lol.
I see they are finally looking into seatbelts for school buses. I was shocked to see my darling granddaughter, who is still required to use a booster seat in the car doesn't get the same safety in the school bus. What's up with that? It was dangerous when I was a kid, dangerous when I tried to get it changed with my kids, if fact we stopped using the bus and drove them and still dangerous with my granddaughter. We have all seen the video's of kids flying all over the interior of buses during accidents. Lets all do what we can to change this. They say it would be dangerous because the bus driver couldn't get all the kids unfastened, well then get volunteers to ride the bus as helpers, teach the kids to get theirs undone and help their neighbors, that is such a lame excuse. OK, off my soapbox.
