I see the Doc tomorrow morning. Hopefully they will order a x-ray or scan or something technical like that so that I can get off of the blood thinner.
I'll update after my appointment tomorrow night.

Halloween
I have been so extremely out of it and busy with things that I just haven't had time to post anything like I want to post! Stress is part of it, but not all of it. I meant to update on the Halloween costumes and everything through all this but the truth is I didn't have a camera yet, and I need to get one to make all that happen the right way! So, soon that will be done. If they don't grow out of the costumes too soon! They are growing so fast around here! Up but not out, and I think D needs to grow out some. He's still behind in sizes and that is making me wonder if he's going to suddenly spurt out in height just before winter hits!
Today's Trick or Treat was going to be another pumpkin farm trip, but the one I chose that was the cheapest out of all the pumpkin farm trips, was not open on Halloween. They actually cut time short to avoid Halloween. The other pumpkin farms were way, way too expensive for our taste. A family of five, even with a Military Discount of B getting in free, was still just under $50. That was with coupons! I can not believe the prices of these places! We will not be going back to any pumpkin farm any time soon.
The only one place I would go to do something like that again is called Settlers Pond. They are a small place dedicated to being a shelter for many animals not normally taken at other shelters. Horses included of course, but they also have a kangaroo or two, some exotic cuties, and a rotten donkey who bit my youngest son's fingers, but it was all better in the end with a sucker from one of the ladies there at the farm. Perfect band aid!
They care for the animals and really make sure they have a place to live, not just exist. I enjoy the atmosphere and the purpose behind the program so I think spending half of what we pay at a pumpkin farm for that location is at least going to a good cause and not a commercialized farm dumped on a field. Ahem.

Feh...Feh....Freezing Vegetables!
So I found a place that shows you how long you can keep food in the freezer. I must say, since I have got back on track with recovery - and trying to get my house back in order because of the bad health before hand - we use the freezer second in line to other food storage. Canned goods are first, freezer second, then refrigerator is third. I was interested in reading the article about storing food because it affects us, and I want to make sure we have fresh items after buying bulk!!!
We have a huge bag of carrots, a huge bag of celery, and several peppers and other things to store and I wanted to put dates on the bags as I placed them in - and the time they should be used. I was very happy to know that most veggies can last quite some time in the freezer if prepared properly. Remember those two words, prepared properly!! There is a wonderful guide on freezing veggies at this location link. It's a great site for a lot of ideas too, so enjoy! Garden Guides
If you would like the direct link for the freezer information here it is: Freezing Veggies Guide. I'm the kind of person who, after glancing over a given link, goes to the main page and sees what else is there while I'm visiting!
I have a large bag of carrots to do, some celery, as I mentioned, some more bell peppers, and a few potatoes this time around. I think learning how to do this will help me plan my meals much more efficiently and it speeds up the production in the food department.
Enjoy the link! May your freezer love you for it!
