Good Friday to all my readers!

Last week I received an email from someone that couldn't comment on the blog, so I have switched the comments section now to where any email can post a comment. You don't have to have a Gmail account to make a comment now. All comments will continue to be moderated however.
Illness
This weekend I was feeling sick with fever, chills, and dizziness, so I went to the doctor's office twice. The first doctor thought it might be something viral and told me to call back in 7 to 10 days if I was not better.
The second time I went to the doctor's office, the receptionist looked at my symptoms and told me I would have to wait outside, so I went and sat in my car. They took my temperature and blood pressure while I was in my car. The doctor even came out and talked with me in my car.
They ended up testing me for Covid outside in the parking lot, and I called today and my test was negative. (Woo Hoo!)
The second doctor's only concern was if I had Covid right now.
They were suited up like people wearing hazmat suits. It made me feel like I had the plague. If I were in their shoes, I would be dressed out the the same way though. They must be scared just going to work everyday. My heart goes out to them.
I'm not surprised I tested negative, I have not been around another person except the ones I live with and we've been self-quarantined for months. I'm feeling better though in case you were wondering. :)
This week I won another giveaway. This time it was Facebook giveaway from Om Mushrooms.
To continue celebrating #MushroomMonth, we are giving away this awesome mushroom kit, which includes Om Mighty Veggie Miso Broth, Om Mushroom Hot Chocolate Blend, Om Immune Defense Capsules, an insulated tumbler cup, milk frother, pair of socks and mushroom beanie.
In My Frugal Kitchen:
Miss Bailey stepped up to the plate and made dinner for us several nights in a row this week. This is not her forte as we consider the kitchen to be my domain, but she did a great job and I am so grateful.
One evening she made us baked potatoes including sweet potatoes. The next morning I made us some home fries using them. The sweet potato ones were so good and healthy to boot.

Later in the week I made a potato soup using the last of our two baking potatoes, some leftover cooked carrots, onions, and broccoli. I used my last envelope of Instant potatoes to thicken the soup and added two ounces of cream cheese to make it creamy. It was good to use up some things and it fed us dinner for two nights as well.
The only grocery item we received this week was a twelve pack of Hormel ham we ordered last week from Amazon. This has been out of stock on a regular basis, so it's nice to be stocked up on this item again.
Other Frugal Things:
The weather has been much cooler in the mornings here and is a welcome sign of things to come. Then this morning as I sat outside feeding the cats I enjoyed the cool breeze, which came from Hurricane Sally. We've had cloudy days this week because of her and rain yesterday.
Other frugal things I've done this week include air drying my hair, using an empty cat food bag for garbage, and wearing the same clothing items, unless dirty, since we've been staying home helps to save on washing and drying.
