Tommy Cooks By Himself

 Today, I have felt so awful, just no energy or motivation. I did not sleep well last night. Melatonin makes me feel terrible  the next day.

The pork butt needed to be cook ed now. I told him he needed to do it. It was too big for the crock pot or a cooking bag on a pan. So, he cooked it by cutting it in half. I told him what to put on the halves and he did. Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder on both pieces. He put a bottle of water in the crock pot and half a bottle of water in the cooking bag. 

He has seen me do this before, so he needed very little instructions. Then, he peeled potatoes and carrots. I was in no mood to slice an onion. Even though my right arm was hurting so, I chose to the clean up the potatoes and carrots after he peeled them. I don't trust him to get all black places from potatoes.

So, he cooked 18 pounds of pork and as many carrots and potatoes as he chose. While that was cooking, I had a huge salad, grated cheese, prunes, and pecans. I had meat, half carrot, and small piece of potato when the meal was done. 

Later, he cooked me three cookies from refrigerated section in Publix. We had a half glass of milk. 

That was all I ate except for half a glass of milk this morning and one piece of bread. 

Right now, I feel better because the melatonin has worn off. Tommy is insisting I go to doctor for my elbow and for the wound in groin. Plus, breathing is difficult like when I had the blood clots.

My weight loss has not progressed. I was taking oxycodone and intestines not working as I wish! 

The temp out today was somewhere in mid 80s. Nice. Of course, we have to have bad weather after it is warm. 

Three times today, I have received a call from my bank saying they need to confirm a transaction with my bank by checking my account info. The third time, they wanted to know last four numbers of my account, My bank will want to know about this.

I think it is time to take the shamrock down from the door!
