I felt so good this past weekend I decided I wanted to cook family dinner Sunday night. I forgot to re-read the recipe for the beef braised in beer, so had to call the darling daughter and ask her to pick up steaks to cook up. It was already 4 PM and the meat has to braise for 4 hours. Oops! Still turned out pretty good.
I got up, fed the cat, did a bit of gardening, trimmed back some herbs for the winter, and watered all. I had to run to the store to pick up everything I needed to make the planned menu for the night, got ready and totally rocked a headband on the bald head. Got the groceries and once home started laundry and prepping everything for dinner.
Darling Daughter was the first to show up and she picked some great steaks for us to cook up. She helped me with the veggie casserole I chose for our dinner. Then the middle son arrived and we put him in charge of cooking the steaks.
I made hand pies for dessert. Peach, Basil and Rose Water pies with my parents Pecan Pie Crust. They turned out really good!
I did note I would start to feel just a wee bit tired during the day, so I made sure I sat down and rested quite a bit. This has been the best cycle of chemo so far.
I know that these types of days will start to wane in the future, but I loved my Sunday. It was so normal.
Life is family time
Where are Kelly, Jose and Joseph?
Joseph and Jose went to Bakersfield for the weekend, Jose’s parents moved there a little over a month or so ago. Kelly was not feeling well, so she stayed home.
What a blessing to have a day that felt normal. You look beautiful!
