I finally opted to make some banana muffins with the 4 overly ripe bananas in the house. Today, I used three of them. Tomorrow, I’ll try to make some baked banana fritters. Since the muffin tins I used were soo tiny, I ended up making like 30 muffins. Twelve of them were fine, twelve were a bit overcooked and six were greatly overcooked.
The last one happened because I was stuck in the bathroom.
I told my doctor about what I was going through, along with the increase in fatigue. It turned out to be a good thing that I wrote about it last night because I couldn’t remember the name. General stuff too, like bloodwork and urine samples.
I think I frightened the phlebotomist. One of my veins was imitating a salsa dancer. Every time the needle went one way, the vein scooted the other way. Ended up with a nice Band-Aid. Then, she aimed for another vein and got it. Though she had to shift it slightly to keep the flow going.
Compared to blood draws in the past, it was excruciating! I don’t know if it’s due to my medication, but it hurt so much to have the needle go in!
Course, like the weirdo I am, I sat and just watched as it went into the tubes.
However, on removal of the needle, blood went shooting everywhere. My shirt and pants were unscathed thankfully, but blood got on the floor, on my watch and on the phlebotomist. She freaked out and grabbed up gauze to try to stem the flow.
I am utterly amazed that it was so difficult to get a blood sample, yet my body decided just to spray at will afterwards.
The ‘sleepies’ hit hard when I was trying to drive home. I ended up biting into my tongue, slapping my own face and calling people. To get to where I needed to, I had no problem involving time. The return trip was the problem, and I totally got stuck in traffic.
Fortunately, I got home in one piece. My friend and I were discussing some food prep. She asked me to save her some muffins and spring rolls. I think I can do that. Since I have an idea as to what I want to put in them, I’ll be setting up to steam some veggies tomorrow.
I need to clean up my bento box too.
She asked me why I never bought snacks when I put in my order today… and I explained that I would just make a huge batch of tortilla chips.
Muffins… tortilla chips… I think I can set up some dehydrated pears too. Some of mine look like they’re trying to turn into bits of my own nightmares. So I don’t want to ditch all of the pears.
Hopefully, I can get the dehydrator set up in the AM and get the pears and maybe apples prepped.
I need to plug away at my schedule this week. I’ll try to get it done after my appointment.
That’s it for now, I think.
TTFN!
Ta Ta For Now!

I’ve only had a single instance of tongue cramping, so I’m going to wait on it and see if it suddenly gets severe.
Hey, Miss J!
