Wednesday Medley: Food for Thought

Hello and happy Wednesday to you!

So the first page of the calendar has been turned over to a new month already.

Wasn't it just last week that I took down that Christmas tree??

As usual, time is ticking right along...way too fast.

Even though the calendar says February, it feels like it's already June here in North Carolina.

We went from having temperatures in the teens last week to the mid 70s this week!

Although quite a treat, I really prefer the weather to be seasonable...

...I know, I'm weird like that. 😏

So here's the latest on what's going on with me...

The majority of my blood tests came back within normal limits with just a few things a bit off,

most likely due to some minor jaundice and malnutrition that I have been experiencing. 

You would never know it by looking at me but yes, apparently I'm undernourished.

I have dropped about 20 pounds recently...not in a good way but I am holding steady.

None of the results were red-flagged and all were published to my electronic MyChart account.

They don't release bad news until the doctor explains the results and I have not heard from them.

So far, so good...I think.

I did have the second biopsy last Friday and hope to be getting the results any day now.

This waiting is the worst part but I know sometimes it takes a while to get the right diagnosis.

Patience....ah, patience...I just don't have any it is not always my strong suit!

So I just keep telling myself that this must be God's plan for me...

...and I'm still waiting for the day (patiently?) that our plans coincide.

(I still like my plan better.😉)

So let's get on with this week's Wednesday Medley...

...just hop on over to Terri's blog, copy and paste her questions and answer them on your blog.

It's a fun way to get to know a little more about our blogging friends!

TODAY IS NATIONAL FROZEN YOGURT DAY!

1.  Today, Wednesday, February 6th, is Frozen Yogurt Day!  A cold dessert on what must be a very cold day for most of you reading this today!  Do you enjoy frozen yogurt?  Does it matter what the weather is?  Share with us your favorite flavor and/or topping, please!!

Well, actually, it's another day in the mid 70s here today so frozen yogurt sounds pretty good right about now. I do enjoy frozen yogurt and no, it doesn't matter what the weather is for me to have a frozen treat. I couldn't really name a favorite but I have a feeling it might involve chocolate...with no toppings. I am not really much of a "topping" kind of girl. But here lately, yogurt would most likely not be on my list of foods...only if it was fat-free and low sugar. With whatever it is that's going on in my tummy, this would most likely not go down too well.

2.  What food do you know you shouldn't eat but can't help yourself?

To tell you the truth, there are many...but these days it's pretty easy to pass them up.

3.  If your life was a meal, what kind of meal would it be?

Gee, I maybe should have passed on the Medley this week since it's all about food...HA! Let me just try to answer the questions the way I would have answered them before I got sick. Sooooo.....if my life was a meal, it would be a Thanksgiving turkey feast with all the trimmings and usual desserts...comfort food at it's finest. Comfort food comes in many varieties but it always seems to make folks feel better...thus the name "comfort food". I very much want my life to be a comfort to those I encounter along the way.

4.  Do you like spicy food?  Why or why not?  What is the spiciest food you have ever eaten?

I do like a moderate amount of spice but nothing too extreme. Even on a good day, really spicy food doesn't set well on my stomach and gives me indigestion. I'd say the spiciest food I ever had were some REALLY hot buffalo wings so I'm always a bit cautious around them.

5.  (Most of you know I have been sick with a cold.) What food do you eat or crave when you have a bad cold?

Whether it's a bad cold or my currently messed up belly, this is my go-to meal. Yep...good old Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup. It just seems to always hit the spot and has done so as long as I can remember.

6.  Please tell us something random about your week (and maybe it will involve food).

Another week of waiting on more test results and just trying to go about life as usual here. I would actually love it to involve food but nothing much appeals to me lately except the soup...and well....maybe these....

Enjoy the rest of your week, my friends!
