I gots nummies!

My lovely downstairs neighbor Natalie (a.k.a "Miles' Mom") gave me a gift for watching over her silly furboy. She brought me a mix of white, dark and milk chocolate toffee with bits of macadamia nuts and TWO jars of her lovely freezer jam - one strawberry and the other strawberry lemon. I'll have to get some lovely crusty bread to enjoy them with. 

I really like the sweet cream holiday spice from Starbucks and love it and today I found a cheat recipe to make the spice blend and I'm thinking of making the sugar and spices and giving them as gifts to the neighbors. 

Visited the doc today and she's ordered the test kit to do the cheek swab thing to check on how I metabolize medicine, though she advised before she even does it that I should call and check with my insurance to see how much they'll cover. Because if it's too obnoxiously expensive, it won't be worth it. She also prescribed lexapro which in the past may or may not have given me insomnia and shaky hands but I'll try it again and see if it works better this time since I was certainly testing enough meds back in 2011. Also, just in case she's going to put in for me to have a sleep apnea test and evidently they can do a thing where I get tested at home first. When I tried it once before, it was inconclusive because since I knew I was being "watched" I didn't sleep well from nerves. So here we go with the experiments. *crossing fingers*

The gifts sound nice, but a bit on the caloric side. Will you take the candy to work to share? That's what I have to do at this time of year. Thank TPTB for hungry actors!

I'll probably bring in the toffee. It's yummy but I know I"m going to get sugar shock from it. On the freezer jam, since they appear to have come straight from her freezer, I put the plain strawberry right into my freezer which will be a summery treat when it's all nasty snowy in a couple of months and put the strawberry lemon in the fridge

That's what I end up doing with my sweets - it's just safer.

The gifts sound lovely.

Good luck w. this latest go round w. meds. I've been on a low-dose of Lexapro for years bc of the Fibromyalgia as the Dr thinks it helps w. pain and depression although I still have plenty of both conditions.

We have to check insurance first so we're not rudely surprised w. a test not being covered so there is not that shock of money due.
