April 10
I am still ill after almost two months with this virus and I am tried of vitamins and Ensure drinks for I have only gained back two pounds of the seventeen pounds I lost, I now weigh just over a hundred pounds which I hate being so thin.
The area my dh husband made for the garden flooded with all the heavy rain, he was able to save two tomato plants and one bell pepper plant and get them into gallon container pots. We have been pounded by high winds, tornadoes and so much heavy rain that water is standing everywhere.
We did make it out to town to pick up a few things and back home before more severe weather hit last evening, another round of bad weather coming tonight and tomorrow, this weather pattern has been ongoing for weeks and one can’t get a chance to recover before it hits again.
I ordered some dry milk and a few #10 cans of macaroni for the pantry, there are so many ways to cook and use macaroni and it’s inexpensive, hopefully I can add a little food each month to the emergency stock.
Been reading Daisy’s post on canning roast beef and I am going to try canning some next time I find roast on sale along with my friends recipe for canning chicken, at least it will not spoil during power outages, some here still have no power after the tornadoes hit.
