And NO, this is NOT about immigration!!!

One of the most frustrating things about being wheelchair bound is that I can’t reach the ice/freezer! I know there are fridges w/freezer on bottom, but we don’t have a spare $1300 for a new fridge/freezer right now! Spent is all on HCA equipment!

My “sister” advised me that they make countertop ice makers! WHO KNEW??!?!

So…. I researched and found one I trust and ordered it. Came today. Cleaned off my dining room table (which had become a JUNK PILE THAT I HATE!) to make room for it where it’s convenient to everyone and reachable for me. It has to sit for 24 hours before use (probly to let refrigerant settle properly, since no telling what orientation it was shipped in and where all the refrigerant has drifted!). Looking forward to using it tmor nite. Will update post then.

First run of tabletop ice maker was a good one. Not sure if the ice stays ice overnight or melts. Probly the latter. But I HAVE ICE!!!

SEAFOOD!!

Having grown up on the Texas coast, I’m a seafood junkie! haven’t had any in months and have had a hankerin’ for fried shrimp for a month! Since my lift gets me safely into van now, (well, except for a few scrapes: learning where to put my arms and elbows to avoid that, and adding pool noodle to endcaps that cut me!) I begged my family to take me to Boo Ray in Crowley! Their sampler platter: all fried: shrimp, crawfish, alligator, catfish, oysters (we replaced w/extra crawdaddies), fries and hush puppies w/home made tarter and cocktail sauces. Enough for 3 HUNGRY or 4 normal people! We three girls shared it while Dad got his own fried shrimp. DELICIOUSLY SCRUMPTIOUS!! We brought home enough for a meal! GRATEFUL TO MY FAMILY FOR INDULGING ME AND HELPING ME GET THERE!!!!

Now that I can GO PLACES, water therapy Friday; Pirate’s Cove Saturday w/DIL and G’d! Water is my FRIEND!! Then off to the movies to see How to Train Your Dragon (Joy’s favorite!). Father’s Day: Villa Dianna before our girl has to fly back to Va. Gonna be a FUN, EXHAUSTING weekend!
