Roaring winds today. Didn't snowshoe but should have as it would have lifted my mood.
Made lentil soup. It's a kitchen sink soup which has lentils, tomatoes, sweet red peppers, pumpkin (all these canned); spinach, okra (frozen veggies); fresh garlic and onions; dried seasonings of fennel, shitake, mint, dill, thyme, coriander, hot red pepper, onion powder, rosemary. I should have added some tumeric. I added two tablespoons of olive oil at the end. It tastes good but I'll have to eat it for quite a while. It will go good with the flax-sesame muffins.
I'm concluding that the d-ribose and coenzyme Q10 do nothing to ramp up my mitochondria. I returned the l-carnitine after I read that it can lower your thyroid hormone. I'm tired right now.
I did successfully snowshoe in Valle Canyon and my foot did well. I felt vital and alive during that. I want to snowshoe again.
Spouse will repeat his abdominal CT scan next Tuesday. Options are if there is an abscess on his appendix, the surgeon could drain it to make the surgery safer and then remove the appendix. Spouse has an appointment with the surgeon on December 29. From how tender his belly still feels it seems that removal of his appendix is a foregone conclusion.
Christmas vacation begins next week for the kids. I watch grandson Monday from 2-5pm and Tuesday from noon to 5pm and maybe on Wednesday from 10am to noon. There's a new exhibit at the Bradbury Museum called Brain Twisters that I'd like to take him to. I have several movies for him to watch. There's a Christmas celebration at the Railyard that I could take him to in Santa Fe. I could take him on a walk or to a playground as long as the weather's not too bitter and his parents bring warm outerclothes. There is always our wonderful library!
