Daily Food Diary – Day 252 of 365

Today is Day 252 of my Daily Food Diary! 🤗

I am still on my road to recovery from my latest lung infection.  I saw my Respirologist for a follow up this morning.  He is super happy with my x-rays and blood tests. 👍

I feel my biggest issue now is my ongoing environmental allergies this summer.  After seeing Dr. M, I went to Old Fashioned Foods and picked up a couple of natural allergy remedies that they recommended.  Here is hoping they make a significant improvement in that department.

Molly and I went back to Jen’s yesterday.  Molly had a great time with her dog Sasha,  checking out their big back yard.  I helped Jen strip more parts off of her Jeep to make it as quick and easy for her fiance and their mechanic to drop in her new motor and transmission.  I can’t wait for it to be all done complete with  the new paint job and roll bars. 

These last two afternoons with Jen have been a LOT of fun.  It is amazing to see her work on this and demonstrate the analytical and organizational skills that I did not notice, much less appreciate, in my Mother growing up. 

When Jen drove Molly and I home, she swung by to pick up granddaughter Maddy from her school.  When she dropped us off, she got out to help me get Molly into the yard.  Maddy jumped at the opportunity to get into the driver’s seat.  I am so impressed  at how determined she is to practice her driving skills and ace her test next spring.   I didn’t think it would be something she would be so eager to embrace.  (Apparently, she is not a Grandma’s Girl in that department.)

Today is son Dan’s birthday.  I did text him earlier but I am waiting to hear from him before I call.   This has been a busy summer for him between work, boating, and camping so I’m never sure when it is best to get hold of him.
