SATURDAY ORDER is godly

Hello SATURDAY!  Sweetness and relaxation comes to mind when there are no obligations that I have to fulfill today.  It's a boost of energy.  It allows me to do more in lines with what I really want to be doing.  Sets me apart.  

YESterday's calorie intake was below my 1200 allotment so I had milk and graham crackers before bedtime to bump that up.  It's rare when I am under 1200 calories.  This is too low and unsafe for me.  Closer to 1200 is best for me in my reducing plan.  I'll weigh again on Monday. Perhaps a pound will have dropped off.  That would be exciting.  I mustn't get too excited or I'll have to work through the disappointment.  

TODAY, I hope to tackle another pile of paper that's resting in a laundry basket just waiting for someone to lay hands on it to where it disappears from sight.  Abracadabra...gone.  Vanished from plain sight.  I am on a mission for sure.  Paper work all gone through and in order.  Much thrown away and much filed.  

I know after my Father-in-law passed away I came home from the funeral with a carload of boxes holding papers, pictures, cards and letters.  It took a while to go through it all and deal with it. Old cards my Mother-in-law had kept were given back to the family members who had given then to her and my F-I-Law.  It was a little emotional going through them.  I lived to tell about it and have moved on to my own mess.  Maybe you don't think like this, but taking chaos and turning it into order is godly.  God took chaos and turned it into order.  Being orderly is godly if you ask me.

I already went through the mail this morning and thought about bills needing paid.  I think I'll work on the bills tomorrow and call it good.  I shuffled two huge curio cabinets in the dining room making headway for painting the walls.  Laundry folded and another load washing.    

I will have to prime and paint one wall before moving to another to paint as the room is full of furniture and getting about to paint all at once isn't possible.  Slow is as slow does.  After I get two of the walls painted then I will have to clean out my Grandmother's sideboard that houses a dinnerware set.  The dishes make the piece of furniture way too heavy to scoot.  Trying would put undue stress on the old piece and break my back.  I'm an old piece also.  grins.  Too hard on the floor as well.  

This china will be stashed in the basement soon so I can refill Grandma's piece with the overflow of my Blue Willow dishes that didn't make it into the antique china cabinet.  For the time being I took all the crystal and glassware out of this piece and refilled it with most of my Blue Willow dishes.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out.  I like it and I know I have to downsize in order to live elsewhere when the time comes.  A work in progress for sure.  Right now this piece can stay put until the new location where she's going is painted.    

I took my first mashed dose of garlic with cold water and then hot.  Ummm.  It wasn't so bad, but taking capsules would be a whole lot less work and not so messy.  Probably taste better also.  I will probably switch over to a capsule after I find what I am looking for.

The tablets I was taking of apple cider vinegar ran out so I am switching to Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar in the bottle.  This won't be so bad as I can pour the APV into a glass of spring water before a meal and be ready to roll.  When I read the ingredients with the APV capsules I was taking, I sighed as they had cellulose in them.  Cellulose is wood pulp, saw dust.  I don't believe this is necessary to ingest.

I will have to check my other medicines to see if they have saw dust in them to keep the pills from crumbling.  We switched to natural cheeses because of the cellulose in it.  yuck and a half.  

Breakfast was scrambled eggs and 2 pieces of toasted Ezekiel bread with raisins.  Lunch will be a huge spring green salad sprinkled with nuts for the protein.  Supper...not sure yet.  Maybe chicken and veggies galore.

MEDICINE:  I am off METOPROLOL, a beta-blocker.  Weaning off of it took over a two week period.  METOPROLOL is known to raise blood sugar levels.  I'm wondering how my blood pressure will do.  I was taking three meds for blood pressure that may cause blood sugars to rise.  Two of those I'm still on.   

When I started taking this med I wasn't diabetic.  I am now and I'm eating more potassium rich kale and avocado to help combat diabetes and to lose weight.  

Too much potassium can lead to erratic heart rhythm and kidney failure. If you are taking a beta-blocker, your health care provider may recommend that you limit your consumption of bananas and other high potassium foods including papaya, tomato, avocado and kale.

HEAVENS I have ate tomatoes  f o r e v a h.

Hope your day is going well,
