The only streaming we do is Amazon Prime. We are watching a series "The Swiss Family Robinson". It is a newer version and it stars Richard Thomas (John Boy Walton) as the dad. We like it.
Bob has had a rough time of it for a day or two with his stomach. It kept him from eating much even when he wanted it the last few days. It disturbed both of us in our sleep.
While I was awake with him last night I realized we needed something tasty and delicious to eat. Today I made short cut chicken and vegetable soup.
I had frozen, fully cooked,diced chicken breast. I bought a lot of broth from Sam's just to add easy nutrition to stuff. I used half an onion, some left over spinach and a big can of Veg All mixed veggies. Garlic powder, black pepper and celery salt. It was tasty and it was the best Bob has eaten in a few days. I am sure it will help his stomach.
While he is up watching television I am headed to the bedroom to strip the bed and look for some of my clothes that I have hidden from myself.
Today and tomorrow are going to be very hot. We will stay inside the rest of today.

I loved the original Swiss Family Robinson, I bet that series is good, too.
Soup is soothing to the tummy and the soul. No matter the weather, I never get tired of having good homemade soup.

It is an easy way to get in some good nutrition. He slept until noon today, but then enjoyed the soup and only took a short nap. If he cannot or will not eat his heart will not get stronger and it just goes round and round. He liked the soup.

You're right, and if he likes homemade soups it's always easy to make and you can always freeze any extra. I love soup.

Chicken soup is good for the stomach. Glad he was able to eat it. Hope you find those hidden clothes.

It is good, and the variety of vegetables and herbs will help him be settled and maybe get some strength back.

I have never read the book or seen the original movie, but that is okay. I try to keep positive and light hearted things on television or in the way of music. I feel it is helpful for him.

Glad Bob enjoyed the soup. Question, why are you hiding clothes from yourself?

I have no idea why I cannot remember where I put everything. These are all of my favorite summer clothes and I had them when my daughter was here. I got so stressed out when Bob was in the hospital and then when he was out of his mind when he came home. I may have hidden them from him. He was going through all the drawers and hampers while the Haldol was wearing off.

Your chicken and vegetable soup sounds yummy. I hope you've been cool and comfortable indoors.
