YAY! It's Friday!

Finally at last!

Now maybe I can get some time with my husband without him worrying about class.  Well okay now he'll probably worry about the board instead.

In other news I had a neighbor over for three hours yesterday and we talked about everything!  We even juiced together.

I found out I have a blue aura.  Hey if anyone knows more about that let me know.  I mean I did look it up and all but I do like to have more knowledge on the subject.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Salad Juice

Yesterday I managed to find the time to make one juice in my busy day.  One would think that I have all the time in the world since I work from home and am an Army Wife. 

My life if far from being like the tv show folks.  Yesterday I needed to mail out a package from my online shop, water the lawn, field phone calls from both of my parents who are in separate nursing homes right now, phone call from husband, phone call from cousin, phone call to oldest and dearest friend that has been so busy I've been missing her by minutes each time I call her and that three hour time difference does cause trouble, finally the laundry on my long list of how busy I was yesterday.

So I juiced a salad.  Well J thought it tasted like a salad.

One large English Cucumber
4 Roma tomatoes
2 stalks of celery
1 peeled lime (I froze the rind for future use in say a cheesecake!)


It made enough for 3 large glasses of juice and one small glass.  I was going to save the pulp from the juicing yesterday but I couldn't decide if I wanted to make a casserole with it soon or not so I disposed of it.

Today I think I'll juice some fruits and maybe a few carrots too.  We'll see.

With yesterday's temps reaching almost 100 F it was a nice way to cool off with a nutritious drink.  I swear all it was missing was the alcohol and I could have had a freshly made bloody mary, just not as pulpy.

Juicing

Yesterday I almost had to rip the juicer out of the UPS guy's hands.  He asked what he was delivering and I said a juicer.  He said, "okay I'll keep it then".  NOOOOOO!

I know he was just flirting with me because of his smiles, winks and laughter but not my juicer!

I so can't wait to try processing an apple through this baby!

This morning I washed the juicer and made my first mess.

500g strawberries
500g organic blueberries
500g red raspberries

Quite tasty.  I put the pulp into freezer pops to use later on.

Finally Friday

Mom is still bleeding out from the surgery site.  I asked her today if they'll need to do a blood transfusion and she said it might come to that soon.  It is because of the fact that they put her on blood thinners of course.

My blood pressure has been dropping low of late.  Thinking of asking doctor if I can lower my dosage.  Last night my blood pressure was 111/57.  This morning it was 123/74 with a heart rate of 74 and irregular at 6 hours past taking my blood pressure medicine.  I'm also dizzy and really tired.

There have been several pregnancy announcements this month in the infertile blogging and military blogging community.  I'm very happy for all of them but of course sad because it wasn't that long ago I went through a FET and it failed.  I have the right to feel sad for me.  I'm going through the healing process again.  Hoping for a miracle.

My juicer should arrive sometime today and I'll pick up the grocery items for a cleanse on Sunday.

J has been working some really long days.  He school starts at 0550 hrs and he isn't home until 2030 the last few nights.  But I am glad he is home.  We are both looking forward to his graduation.


DPW for JBLM, D.K., called me this morning in response to my message I left him two days ago.  Seems as though his workers didn't post the message the way they should have to our doors.  And he said if it happens again he will have them bring round bottled water to the residents!  YAY!
