Tastes like Chicken Thursday

Thanks for the start, Linda.You know it's a busy day when the mountain time person is the first one here. I guess the PT must be helping your knees. Great news! Nice to have one of those "unstructured" days once in a while. I hope you and Micki enjoyed it.

We are having spring as well, Kathy. According to this evening's weather forecast, we have another week of spring and then it's back to winter for us. How about you? Do you have tomorrow off since you worked last Friday? I'm glad your week hasn't been bad frantic. We only do pizza now and then and it's usually Papa John's which we like and it's pretty close. We do have a new Italian place opening up about 15 minutes from home that is advertising calzones and stromboli as well as pizza. We may try it when it opens.

Chele, I may need the pho recipe. I'm glad you like your new clothes. I'll need to check them out. Super thin crust is the only way I could see a pizza cooking that quickly. I guess it's for people who are more into the toppings than the crust. The pool was good and we had another crowd today but not as many as Tuesday when we had 11 and I'm not the only short person, so we were pretty tightly packed in the shallowest part of the pool. Today we were in the deep end wearing flotation belts so we could be more spread out. The knee seems to be doing a lot better today. I haven't even had the heating pad on it. I finished crocheting a grocery bag holder for the pantry and started on one for Dale to use in the barn. It's hot pink because he wanted one he wouldn't lose. Next on the agenda is a business card holder and then I'll start on version 2 of an afghan for my friend. Good idea to keep Teddy's shots spaced out at his age. My vet mentioned something this summer about having Phoebe's rabies titer tested and maybe not giving her the shot because she was recovering from the liver surgery. I know you have been diligent about getting his shots over the years so if you are concerned, that might be an option. To California and back in 3 days really is a short trip. Those can be even more exhausting than long trips but at least he'll have the weekend to recover.

How is the spray working for Zoe, Liz? I hope she is leaving her cyst alone. Did you get some relief from PT on Tuesday just working on your back? I hope you didn't get home too late last night. Did you call the surgeon yet?

Becky, was it a Concept 2 rowing machine? We bought one off Craigslist many years ago and I use it every once and a while. I've heard that cows aren't extremely bright. Is that true?

Phoebe has chemo #2 tomorrow. I will drop her off, meet Dale at a bank back here to transfer his business account, and then we will go to the Japanese place for lunch. I will stop by to drop off my application for the master gardener program that starts in March, then I will go back to Knoxville and make a stop at Earth Fire before I pick her up to bring her home. That will pretty much be my day. We may have some leftover rain in the morning but I hope it has moved through by the time we get on the road. Dale dragged his feet taking her out first thing this morning and I got to clean up a puddle as a result. I was none too happy but I think he has learned his lesson. Her bodily fluids are considered toxic waste right now with the chemo so I had to use gloves to clean it up and we will probably have to trash the towels which were kind of old anyway. Lady Vols game is coming on in a few and it's not televised. So I guess I'll go listen to that. It helps that we have a good announcer who paints a really good picture for us so we feel like we're there.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable Friday.
