 >> this holiday season.. It's pretty cool... velvet knickers and jacket
 >> ... works great with boots and a satin blouse :)
 > How pretty... :)

 JK> Yeah, it is really pretty outfit I made quite a long time ago when I
 JK> was sewing all my clothes and for the kids as well .

Two of my sisters have done that sort of sewing... I never got quite
that proficient... :)  I did help make my wedding dress (quite a simple
one), but one of those two did most of it.... :)

 > You are so right as to everybody's body being different in how it
 > processes its fuel... Mine certainly isn't as accomodating as yours
 > is... 

 JK> Well, there are days when I would like to just be 'normal' but I guess
 JK> the combination of my height (geez, I'm not that tall, but ~5' 6"
 JK> maybe) and my pulse clocking in at about 70 do it.. got me... :)

Apparently you've also got a very efficient metabolism... mine tends to
shut down all too easily...  :)
 
 >>> For sure on the meds making things worse... but I guess it does sound as
 >>> though she'd already been slipping some...
 >> Yes, this week continues to confirm what we feared after we heard
 >> about the stroke..  with essentially no progress, her insurance will
 >> slip into Medicaid as opposed to medicare.
 > She might have been having little strokes all along that just weren't
 > noticeable... that would also have played into the ability/mindset for

 JK> Sure, that makes a lot of sense, really.  She still won't try anything
 JK> along those lines.  They wheel her down there I guess, and then wheel
 JK> her back. 

Sad.  I suppose that at her age, and given the stroke, it might have
become more than she actually can do anymore....

 >> And today I felt great because I ordered a number of 'seed pods' for
 >> my aerogarden - that is a always boost :) :)  That company is so great,
 >> I love it... I ordered eggplant, sweet peppers (not into hot ones
 >> ), tomatoes and bok choy :)  Should be here in a couple days
 >> so that's just great :)
 > That's a mood booster, for sure...  :)  And you'll have the fresh
 > veggies to look forward to even as the season gets less appealing
 > outside... ;)

 JK> Yes, I was so happy to see they've expanded the veggies they package
 JK> included eggplant (they are smaller, purple ones almost like japanese
 JK> eggplant).

Oh, that sounds really good...  I do like eggplant, especially the
japanese sort... they cook up very nicely...  :)

 JK> The seed pot kits arrived a few days ago... now I have to sterilize
 JK> the aerogarden "Farm" we have in the living room so I can plant the
 JK> new pods. :)
 
It's for a good cause, after all... ;) 

 >>>>> Just need to keep at it... nibble on good stuff between meals if you
 >>>>> can... make the cookies specially nutritious... ;)
 >> My favorite recipe for peanut butter cookies is one that I've used
 >> since "forever".. it is so good, just 2cups peanut butter, and 2 cups
 >> sugar (I cut down the sugar to about 1 1/2 cups), and no flour.
 > Those would be rather nutritious... and be an easier way to eat the PB
 > than on a spoon from the jar... 

 JK> Oh yeah, I munch on those anytime I get hungry :)

Good show...  :)  Easy to keep handy, too...  :)
 
 JK> Today I made pumpkin pies with that frozen pumpkin I defrosted..
 JK> Thanksgiving should be great this year...

Yes... Happy Thanksgiving, by the way.... :) 

 JK> We also are trying something different this year... we'll see how it
 JK> goes ... Wegman's had an advertisement for a turkey dinner for 12 with
 JK> all the fixins' So I thought, geez, I'm old enough to enjoy just
 JK> sitting around like everyone else on the holiday hahaha... so we have
 JK> an order in for it.  Ron will pick it up on Wednesday this week for
 JK> Thursday's Thanksgiving, and according to their instructions in an hour
 JK> and half or something like that we'll have Turkey Dinner :)

Did that work out nicely, as advertised....?  I've thought about it, but
since I'm not feeding 12, or even half that, never really figured it was
worth doing for us... :)  But it does look like a nice deal... :)
