MY COFFEE PERCOLATOR is similar to this one in the illustration. We had started to perk our coffee in the percolator to cut costs on coffee expenses. We'd been using KEURIG PODS for the longest time and after figuring the budget we are taking a pause with the pods and the disposable cups with lids.
Perking and using REAL COFFEE CUPS.
We cut corners even more when I decided to take a break from coffee drinking to see if my blood sugar level goes down. DAY FIVE here on the Prairie without my dark liquid that I sip throughout the day.
It was a easy HABIT FORMING thing I looked forward to doing every day. Mental conditioning and comfort food. Who'd ever think that coffee is a food? I did. As many a morning I drank coffee instead of eating real breakfast food. The weight did not come off. Disheartening, but the way it is when having no thyroid and the meds don't work.
Beefing up my game. I am doing floor stretches right on the Living room rug. To cheer me I am going to play MUSIC. No GYM MEMBERSHIP NEEDED at the time.
FRIDAY NIGHT SPECIAL: Last night, HUBBY and I watched the 1976 movie ROCKY. It starts out kind of slow before interest kicks in. Maybe I should say PUNCHES IN since he was a boxer. The character ROCKY does start drinking raw eggs in the early morning. I have no desire to do this, but could do scrambled eggs instead. I was reading about raw eggs drank by early on athlete's over a 100 years ago. EGGS are high in protein helping with the muscle build up.
84 year old Body Builder Ernestine drinks egg whites everyday. I don't believe I can do raw eggs period, but have some EGG FIT POWDER to mix in with my PROTEIN DRINK when I drink it. I will have to become more dedicated to doing this then I have been.
This past week, Hubby has been working on the screened in porch roof. Terrible leaking and wood rot. Early mornings and evenings he's out there in the heat rejuvenating the structure. BIG PROJECT. My part in this is to take photographs and cheer him on. Encourage him to avoid working in the afternoon heat to stay well. Heat stroke is real and we do not need to experience it so we can say, we suffered a heat stroke. He's removing tile and cement backer board and removing wood post plus all that was used on this years ago. It wasn't done correctly and leaked. The inside of the porch ceiling will have to be replaced as well. The water warped it so badly it's ruined.
LOOKING INSIDE THE KITCHEN CUPBOARD where my dishes are, I started thanking GOD out loud for my dishes. I am so glad to have them to use. They sit so nicely in the cabinet. Admiring them. Imagine not having dishes. The dirty dishes do pile up as do the pots 'n pans, but we have food that has dirtied them up. We are blessed to have the dishes, pot 'n pans, glasses, silverware and huge coffee mugs that I am not using for the time being.
Praising GOD for everything in the house. Thanking HIM for everything. EVERYTHING. Praising GOD for my dishes.
We are staying HOME this week-end instead of going to an out of state birthday party. I wish we could have gone, but we're social distancing. Trying to come up with a way to see FAMILY later in the year. If we rent a camper and stay at a camp ground, we could sleep, cook and use the restroom for breaks, then visit with family. Praying about this and making plans. Happy Birthday to my lil guy who turns 6 this month.
His Momma is going to Home School him. PAUSE. I wish all my young Grandchildren were being HOME SCHOOLED this year. I am concerned about COVID. There may be a stand still come October and November if this virus becomes more active with school aged children. Not very happy about how this is being handled across the country. The encouragement to re-open schools during a pandemic is encouraging our children and teaching staff to get ill. Well, you can't shut down school buildings...yes you can.
The devil comes as an angel of light. Re-open the schools seems like a good thing to do? I don't agree. It's not wise and rather stupid.
