Oatmeal, Doughnuts and Chocolate Chip Cookies.

The morning at Cook'n by the Creek started with the smell of fresh brewed coffee.  I enjoy waking up to coffee already made.  Hop, hop, hop to the recliner.  Do a little FB, read the news and knit........normally this is where the real day begins with breakfast, make the bed, laundry, vacuum and dust.  Now I bark orders from Central Command Station which is not fun!  Dick made  oatmeal for breakfast, one look and he could see the expression on my face.  Here are the directions I gave him: in a bowl put 1/2 cup of quick oats, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of water, a few raisins and walnuts.  Micro wave for 2 minutes.  Here is what he heard for directions: 1 cup of old fashioned oatmeal, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, no raisins or walnuts.  Microwave 2 minutes.  ewwwww, didn't eat it.  If I could have so as not to make him feel bad but there was no way.   This is going to be write down directions from this day forward.

He did make a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch that was ok.  One of my besties, Marcia, brought her delicious chocolate chip cookies and from the Wellsville Giant salt rising bread and "tada" raspberry filled powdered doughnuts, my favorite!.. I am justifying eating the goodies because I deserve them ;)  I have a plan, for the next few days I will be eating all the sugary treats possible.  Hopefully it will make me the sweetest, loving, caring, appreciative patient ever.  If it doesn't I can guarantee I will probably be "one, big and mean "B".

I do see getting out this weekend which should help me get back a little spice in my life.  The American Legion let me borrow a very nice wheel chair.  Did you know the Legion offers many home care items?  Very nice for ones that will not need them long term.  Gotta love a Vet.    They "pass it on"  in very special ways.

What's for supper?  Beef roast done in the pressure cooker, baked potatoes and green beans.  So far so good, it smells delicious.  I don't think I want to give a thumbs down twice in one day.  I might lose the free help.
I will give this a ★★★★★

If this can't sweeten me up nothing will! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
