Heating Pad

BERJAYA

 My physiotherapist recommended I get a heating pad and use it on my shoulder for 15 minutes before doing my exercises.  He said it will relax the muscles.  He told me to put an ice pack on it after but I haven't tried that.  I can see us using this heating pad for neck, back, knees, and other muscles, it is so comforting!  It was $25 on Amazon.

Friday Art - Owl and a Scare

BERJAYA

 Welcome to Friday Art!  This cute owl showed up on my laptop screensaver and I decided to sketch him for you today. It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil.

Well I had a scare on Nov 6 when I went for a routine physical. The doctor found a 1 cm lump in my left breast. She ordered a mammogram and breast ultrasound. The clinic was able to do the ultrasound that same day but that mammograms were booked up to March/April. I would be put on a waiting list unless they found something.

On Nov 10 they called to schedule my mammogram that day. Was I scared.  I sent an email to my doctor yesterday (Nov 13) asking what would be my next steps after getting the results.  They replied that same afternoon saying the ultrasound and mammogram results were normal!

We celebrated with a nice dinner.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date "Pumpkin Pie" Art Theme and Chicken with Green Chili Pepper Stir Fry

BERJAYA
Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's Pumpkin Pie art theme! This is my pumpkin pie ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").

 

BERJAYA


For the Dinner date, my neighbour had brought over these spicy green chili peppers last month.  I decided to try them in a chicken stir fry dish.  I sliced and de-seeded 4 of them.  The dish was delicious and the peppers are not fiery hot, just fine for us.

4 green chili peppers de-seeded and thinly sliced

2 c cooked chicken pieces

2 onions sliced

2 tbs soy sauce

1 tbs dark soy sauce

1/2 tsp salt

3-4 tbs canola oil

Saute chillies, onions in oil. When softened, add salt and soy sauces.  Mix in the cooked meat and you are done!

I actually had some leftover baked chicken, I pulled the meat of the bones and set it aside. Then I sliced the peppers and some onions.
