Saturday night I took 15 minutes and made a jar of pickles. Nothing special. Just some Italian Seasoned ones, like my first attempt many months ago. They are chilling in the fridge and permeating the brine. It was two packages of the tiny cukes that RM had sent home. I haven't looked to see how many packages are left of what she sent, but I also do not want the fridge over-flowing with pickles right now (just now, otherwise it is fine). I'm anxious to try one, but will wait a couple more days. I did prep another jar a bit smaller for another batch. Maybe throw in some of the peppers and use one package of cukes. Been going through some of the pickle recipes I have saved to see if some flavor stands out I want to try. I haven't picked up any jalapenos, and I don't think I will. I do have a jar of pepperoncini maybe I'll add some of them to the mix, to warm it up a little. Ideas ....
Saturday night, all the grandkids went out to trunk or treats. The girls did in Tucson, and Doc did up here. I have pictures, but am not posting here. RM, I'll send over a few this morning, to be sure you got to see them. I guess the girls are going out Saturday for the actual holiday, but just in their neighborhood. The Wife mentioned about going down for Saturday, and coming back up later. I only have a District Aux meeting scheduled that day, and I can get out of it, so we may end up going to Tucson Saturday. Noy 100% sure just yet.
Tomorrow is an important day. I go at like 7am to Mayo to do blood and urine labs. Hopefully the numbers they are looking at have gone down, and I will make the review council on Wednesday, pass and be on the waiting list. This is all out of my hands at this point. After being told about this a few weeks ago, I reverted my diet back to what it was before to see if it was a mixture of food that caused it. Which means I haven't been doing my protein shakes in the morning (but will resume them after the test results come in). There were some other changes, too. Just trying to get the numbers back to where they were. No idea if it will help/hurt. Also, it is unusual that I do not have a Nurse or Doctor consult following the lab work as I usually do. They avoiding me? Did they screw up? Oh my mind is going 20-million different directions (my overthinking) and I need to drop it and let God handle it.
I have a paracentesis still scheduled for Wednesday. If I can get the number down to 4 or less, I'll go to every two weeks, etc. last week was 6.4L and doubling that...no. No way to go two weeks. In fact I need to schedule some more appointments today.
Now it is time to move on to the next item of the morning routine....
