On the menu....for someone

As I have mentioned in the last blog, I have a friend who is quite ill. So I decided to make it a bit easier for her, I have cooked and baked a few meals for her and her hubby.

Menudo

Banana bread

A different adobo version

magic bars

I have cooked/made other meals but did not have pictures.....macaroni salad and beef stir fry with garlic black bean sauce. I hope that I have helped her recovery even in a small way. Get well soon.

Appreciate what we have.....

During the time I had taken a break from blogging, I had been doing a lot of complaining about the inconvenience of having had the surgery. There was a time when I felt regret about having it done.

Then two weeks ago, I found out that a good friend of mine who is legally blind in one eye and the other eye is also not good, had to have surgery. She was diagnosed with breast cancer, this was after she had gone through a different kind of cancer two years ago. She was lucky enough that they got all of it and she did not have to have any kind of treatment.

This time she will have to go through treatment, as they also found cancer in her lymph nodes. I hope she gets through this without a lot of complications.

I realized that whatever I have gone through does not compare to what she will have to deal with. I thought about how lucky I am compared to other people and that I should really appreciate what I have.

I have faced illness and survived or overcame it. Sometimes I feel that we do not see or realize the life we have is so good and we should just enjoy it.

She will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm back.....

It had been more than 6 weeks since my last blog and my right eye has completely healed and the left one is on its way to healing, hopefully completely. I have had a few complications and it did not help that I am a diabetic and we are slow healer. Sometimes I still feel things but even my doctor had told me to start to ignore it. My left eye is still having a bit of a problem and I hope I don't have to go through the option of another surgery and this time they would have to get into my eyeball......OUCH!!!! even my doctor said he would not want to do it.

I will be blogging again. I would like to thank my friends who have been there for me during all these times, giving me a ride to get groceries, getting to the doctor and back to the office and even helping with washing my vehicle which has collected dust while parked underground for a long time.

It is spring but the weather is still cold. I still take the transit in the morning and I walk home when it is warm. Soon I will be walking in the morning as well, it is still a bit dark yet in the morning.

I have relatives coming this Monday. My grandniece is playing in a hockey tournament and I hope to watch at least a game. I will try to go with them when and if they do some shopping.

I have been baking on the weekends but I still forget to take pictures but I have a few to post soon. I hope you will take the time to read my blog even though I have been away for a long time.
