National Orange Juice Day!

Mood: 


Yay for orange juice!I like the taste, but I just can't have too much of it. (Long story short...it gets nasty.) Kind of like how eating fresh pineapple tastes amazing, but cuts up my mouth. So sad!Although, I seem to be able to eat it cooked in something without any problem. And, I can eat a whole orange without having the same reaction. Weird. Orange juice is very good for you. So if you can, drink up! If not, I hope having a whole orange will suffice.It's also Respect for Chickens Day, and Star Wars Day.


Yesterday, I was out for most of the day. So, didn't have much time to post.Finally did that blood test I was supposed to do last month. I hate those.We either have no problem and it's quick. Or, they can't find my veins and they roll. This time she had no problem finding a vein, but it hurt a bit more than normal. Oh well. At least it's done.


After that, we spent a while at one of the grocery stores. I hate the design of the store, but they have a lot of good deals and some awesome stuff.Some of the best prices on meat in town. Also, got a Snicker's Cake. Oh, it was sooo good!Lots of caramel and chocolate with some Snicker's candy sections on top. Dad didn't want a piece, so it leaves one more night for my mom and I to have it. Yay!


Got the results from my test today. Apparently, I'm the healthiest I've been in 4 or 5 years, if not longer. (They won't let me see results taken before that.) Wahoo! Another thing to be happy about!My glucose, calcium, creatinine, and total protein levels were all the lowest they've been on the chart. So, now they're all pretty much in the middle range for normal. So, I don't have any problems with my kidneys, and can keep taking my meds.It was just an annual thing, nothing that we were worried about. Just to make sure. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't have these meds.They've been great for me. 

Made this a couple of days ago. First pic is of the chicken dumplings before I put it into the pureed corn soup. Second, obviously, is after they're put in. Both the soup and dumplings were Japanese recipes, but they were from different books. Turned out to be the perfect combo.The black stuff on the dumplings is nori or seaweed. Really loved those dumplings!The soup was good, but needed more corn and mustard. I was surprised at how much miso was in it, too. Mom helped with pureeing the corn. It's actually gotten a few faves on dA already. So did those other pics from last time. I guess it takes a while to get through people's deviation stacks.I know I get over 1000 deviations in my inbox every other day, and most of the time can't get through them all in one sitting. So, I understand. 


Watched more of Proposal Daisakusen. I'm starting to not like Rei. Ken is trying so hard to 'win her over', and she loves him, but she keeps rejecting him. She knows very little about Tada, and accepts his proposal without thinking too much about it. Tada seems to be a really nice guy. Which makes it hard for Ken to 'fight' him. It's emotionally draining just watching it. I like his friends a lot. They know how to lighten the mood. And one of them already knows about his time travelling thing, and has helped him a few times. I really hope it has a happy ending for everyone. 

In Fairy Tail, the guild managed to come together and destroy the 'Hall of Thunder'. But, they were also shocked and knocked out in the process. The guild master is dying. Natsu and Gajeel are fighting Laxus. (In pic.) They find out that Laxus is also a Dragon Slayer. Laxus invoked Fairy Law, wiping out everyone. The episode ended right there. Kind of disturbing. 

In O-parts Hunter, Shuri's going to be 'erased', because the organization he's a part of is embarrassed he didn't win and is still alive. This round was Jio vs Ball. Satan tried to take over and kill Ball. Ball fainted, but Jio saved him and won the round. Peacock showed up out of no where and started attacking Jio, because he found out that he has Satan. Icaros kidnaps Ruby. Thinking at first that she's the key to getting Satan under control. But, realizes she's even more valuable when she starts reading off the runes next to her. Very few people have the ability to read them. 


Worked some more on that You Maga article on my horoscope. It's interesting. The sentence I finished, talked about how I should exercise or breathe according to my sign. The next one looks like it talks about what would be a healthy diet. I didn't know it would get that detailed.I thought it would be like just about luck, love, finances, etc. Read some more of Dune. It's getting more exciting. 


Got up really early today. I just felt wide awake. Couldn't go back to sleep, so why not just get up.I've been trying to get more sleep by going to bed early lately, but I stayed up longer last night. So, it seemed odd to me. It sounds weird, but I'm thinking of going to bed at 10 most nights. Sometimes I feel I don't get enough sleep, and I don't want to sleep in again. It wastes too much time.
