I think all the prayers and positive, healing thoughts have done something for me. My knee isn't quite as painful today. It still hurts a lot to walk; but I can sit in my recliner in acceptable comfort. Thank you everyone! 
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day; and there will be no Meals on Wheels delivery.
I worked on the taxes yesterday. I had all the medical miles figured out and added up only to find out that they had to be separated into 1/1-6/30 and 7/1-12/31 because of the major differences in gas prices from the first part of the year to the last. I redid the totals. Now I'm just waiting on statements from our bank, etc.
64 days until spring!
What have you been up to?
Breakfast - Fruit and grain cereal bar
Lunch - Lentil soup
Dessert/Snack - Banana walnut muffin and decaf coffee
Dinner - Pizza

Glad to hear it. Pain is no fun, and any day without a lot of it is a good day. I hope it continues to feel better. As for spring, woohoo! Let's get that to 60, shall we?
For dinner we had to use up some leftovers, so the wifey had some fried chicken, tater tot casserole and salad. I just had some meatloaf and tater tot casserole.
I will be bringing fried chicken for my lunch at work today.

We brought our tax information to Florida with us. That’s hubby’s department.
Since it was football night, we had a rotisserie chicken, stuffed baked potato skins, and a salad.
So glad your knee feels better. My friend with cancer has felt the power of prayer and is happily still going strong. I will include you in my prayers, too.

I'm glad you're feeling some better. Let's hope it keeps improving.
Pretty has been complaining about our taxes but she doesn't tell me what's going on... I my not understand, even if she tried to explain it. I always took my taxes to H&R Block.
Pretty has a headache and feels nauseous so I cancelled her doctor appointment and rescheduled it for next Monday. I suggested she try a warm washcloth or an ice pack and see if that helps. She chose a warm, damp washcloth. I haven't heard anything from her room in about half an hour. I hope it's helping.
Pretty felt good enough yesterday afternoon that she asked me to cut up veggies for Korean Barbecue Beef. Once I had the veggies ready, she took over the kitchen and made supper. It was delicious!

@LindaOHio I hope it is better now. Sometimes ice and/or heat can help.

Thanks. I'm hoping that really bad pain was just a fluke. The pain is tolerable now.

That's good to hear your knee is a bit better.
It was a holiday, wasn't it. My grandparents had meals on wheels delivered today.
I was surprised there was school.

I'm slowly working on my taxes. This year will be different because I worked for a company and not just myself.
