Weekly update

Easter was nice, especially since I didn't have to cook or anything. :D My 84 year old mom-in-law (bless her heart) did the honors, and once again she overdid it with the food. Here is her menu for 8 adults and 3 kids. (ages: 2, 6, and 10)

Egg drop soup
Salad
Lasagna (Yum! My favorite. This with some bread is all I need.)
Pork Roast
Fried chicken
Asparagus
Brussels sprouts
Mashed potatoes
Sautéed mushrooms
Endless bread basket

I won't bother to go into all the things she set out for dessert. With so much food, it's hard to enjoy one thing because she looks disappointed if you don't sample a hearty portion of "everything." *belch* Naturally, I overate. I'll have to compensate by extending my daily workouts this week.

In other news: My hubby will finally have surgery to remove a tumor growing on a nerve in his leg on April 10th. He was supposed to have the surgery done on February 15 but it was cancelled the day before. Sheesh. The doctor said he's been doing this kind of surgery for 30 years. There is always a chance of nerve damage but he made it sound like the risk is minimal. Hope so.

Last week we took Thistle (my calico) in for tests since she started drinking a lot of water and urinating often. Well, she has diabetes. :( I still flinch when I have to inject her with the insulin. Supposedly this gets easier over time.

My computer has been giving me a whole lot of grief lately. Some days it stalls completely and doesn't start working properly again until after 3 reboots. I've done a number of virus scans, ran a registry clean program, defragmented my hard drive, etc, but nothing has helped. Now, my network doesn't work. I can't even ping my computer from my husband's computer. *sigh* Anyhoo, if I disappear for awhile it will probably be because my computer crashed completely.

Now, I'm off to get a workout in before I get too lazy.

I hope your hubbys surgery goes well *bd* and sorry to hear about your cat (I hope it's a cat?) :/

Thanks *hugs* And yes, Thistle is an 11 year old cat. So far she seems to be doing okay because of the insulin shots. :) I just need to stop tensing up when I'm about to inject her because that causes her to tense up.

That reminds me of my ex-MIL. She was like that with cooking for an army and wanting me to eat enough for three people. Hehehe. At least she cooked good though!! :D

I hope your husband's surgery goes well. How scary. And poor kitty. That would take me a LONG time to get used to having to give shots my dogs. Man o man. I hate needles. That would be so hard. I hope she gets to feeling better.

I hate needles too, especially when I have to stick one into my cat. Eek! I hope I get the hang of this soon.

I never made egg drop soup but mom-in-law's sure tastes good! As to what it is...
Wikipedia describes it much better than I could so here is the link. Egg Drop Soup
