My Anniversary

 Hi Everyone!

I'm writing this on Tuesday evening because tomorrow I have a medical procedure on my 45th anniversary. 
Yep Mr. M. and I have been together that long. It doesn't seem possible but true.
I've been on prednisone for a week, that's where I got all the energy for cleaning and canning. LOL We are long past the days when we go out to celebrate. We get each other a gift and have a nice dinner at home. I got something I've been wanting for awhile and it went on sale so why not? It's a steam cooker. I just tried it out so there is steam in the pots or whatever you would call them. LOL 
So easy to use, clean and store.
Mr. M's. gift comes tomorrow. I won't tell him what it is. 
hee hee hee.
If I feel well enough after the procedure tomorrow we will have kidney friendly cod fish tacos with coleslaw.
That's it for me. 
Wish me luck!
Nicole

Happy anniversary, Nicole. Forty-five years is such a wonderful milestone, congratulations to both of you. I love that you’re keeping the celebration simple and meaningful with gifts and a special meal at home; it sounds cozy and heartfelt. Your new steam cooker sounds like a great treat, and cod fish tacos with coleslaw? Delicious and thoughtful for a kidney-friendly dinner! Wishing you all the best with your procedure tomorrow, may it go smoothly so you can enjoy your special day with Mr. M

I hope your medical procedure goes well today. Happy 45th Anniversary -- wow, that's a banner number of years! Nice steamer -- I've got an older style double decker one too. I swear by it for cooking perfect rice!

Congratulations on 45 years! Happy anniversary and hope the procedure goes well.

Happy anniversary! I never hear of couples lasting that long together anymore. Me and Ken were together for 30 years before he passed away in 2020. My daughter has been on Prednisone for a while and they just switched her other medication to Imuran. So hopefully that will help. I hope the procedure goes well.

Happy anniversary! 45 years is a long time. I hope your procedure went well and you could enjoy the anniversary dinner. We don't do anything special on our anniversary either - just a bottle of bubbly and a nice dinner, that's it.
