Had a fun week up until I got sick. Last Monday got together with my cousin who's from Virgina. So good to see old family. The Tuesday was my hubby's birthday. Had a good time, until excruciating pain hit me! Felt like a vice was wrapped around my chest. It was horrible! And it wouldn't stop. I knew it wasn't my heart, but had my DH take me to ER. They did all the normal stuff to rule out my heart. Then gave me a shot of morphine for the pain. They determined it was some kind of muscular spasm (I had had a less intense one about 2 weeks ago). My potassium was too low so they gave me some of that. Sent me home with some more pain meds. I was nauseous and had a major headache. Woke up in the morning with chills and headache and later low grade fever. Guess it was some sort of flu that I was probably mildly dehydrated and low potassium which made my muscle freak out. Ok, I'm complaining a lot. Sorry. But I'm finally feeling better today.
Money is still tight, so more budget meals!!!

Here's my menu for the week.

Saturday - Mexican Vegetable Soup and Quesadillas - still haven't made it

Sunday - Fish from freezer cooked by hubby. With potatoes and salad

Monday - Chili Cheese Hot Dogs, salad (dogs in freezer)

Tuesday - BBQ Pork in crock (on sale this week) with Baked Potatoes and corn

Wednesday - Chile Verde Chimichangas (leftover chile verde in freezer), rice and beans

Thursday - Leftovers from whatever

Friday - Caramelized Onion Cheese Pizza and a plain cheese pizza, salad

C - Sounds like a good plan for budget meals. I would enjoy any one of those. I'm so sorry you were so sick; I hate being sick. That would of scared the crap out of me. I have had a hoarse voice for 2 weeks, slowly getting better; but haven't got too sick, more my throat which is aggravating. Sounds like you are on the road to recovery.

Still trying to use up some T-Day items I froze; making some soup, and trying to eat simple.
My days could easily get changed up this week like last week.
