Love isn&#8217;t allowed to run yet post-op but he is allowed to walk so I made us get out and walk around Saturday. Sunday, he did breakfast with his family but his Mom went to a different brunch and his brother didn&#8217;t show up so he basically got up early and drove 45 minutes to have breakfast with his Dad. *snorts*<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday (Monday), I woke up with a stiff\/sore neck and my head hurting. Tried Tylenol and caffeine, then a shower, then a nap and eventually took an Imitrex. Still wasn&#8217;t until later in the evening that it finally eased up. I&#8217;ve been a little spoiled. Ever since my hysterectomy, my migraines have been a lot less frequent and not so bad. I should write an entry about it. Anyway, this one sucked and lasted all day.<\/p>\n<p>But I still managed to make skillet lasagna AND some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verybestbaking.com\/recipes\/18476\/Original-NESTL%C3%89-TOLL-HOUSE-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies\/detail.aspx\" Target=\"_blank\">homemade chocolate chip cookies<\/a> despite the migraine so go me.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><B>Skillet Lasagna<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1lb ground beef<br \/>\n1 jar spaghetti sauce<br \/>\n1 can petite diced tomatoes<br \/>\n1 cup ricotta cheese<br \/>\n1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese<br \/>\n1\/2 package lasagna noodles<br \/>\n1\/4 cup water<br \/>\nonion powder (or small, diced onion)<br \/>\ngarlic powder<br \/>\nParmesan cheese<\/p>\n<p>Brown beef in large, non-stick skillet. I add onion powder and garlic powder to the beef as it browns. <small>You may want to add a sliced onion instead but I have onion sensitivity issues so I use powder.<\/small><\/p>\n<p>Break up 10 regular lasagna noodles into small, 2&#8243; pieces. NOTE: It&#8217;s important you use the regular ones, NOT the &#8220;no boil&#8221; kind. They will cook in the mixture.<\/p>\n<p>Add uncooked noodles, tomatoes, jar of sauce and water to beef in the skillet. Bring to bubble, cover and turn down to simmer.<\/p>\n<p>Simmer covered about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/p>\n<p>Take off heat. Add in ricotta and mozzarella, stir and recover, letting stand for about five minutes for cheese to get good and melted.<\/p>\n<p>Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yummy and filling this offers about 4 servings or two meals for two.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Love goes back into the surgeon for a check-up. Hopefully, he&#8217;ll come off restrictions. Thursday is 4 weeks post-op and the doc said about a month to ensure the stitches hold properly and there&#8217;s no risk of re-opening the repair.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s about that. Like I said, just kinda daily life. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haven&#8217;t had much exciting to post about lately; just going about daily life.
