WAKING TO BACK PAIN AS I TURNED my body. Heating pad then a pain patch. Yesterday went better as for the pain level. Today....shall see. I have plenty to do as I sit in the Living room. French doors are open on this pleasant Autumn day. Breathing in the beauty. Tis quiet as I type. I can hear myself think. I so need this. Take a deep cleansing breath and whisper a prayer.
Back to thinning out the paperwork. I have to make progress on this. Have to.
Hubby is out working on the car as the starter has been dragging some. I have good faith that he will be successful repairing the car to where it will give us many more years of use. Both our cars are older and maintenance is a requirement. My dear Husband has his hands full with all we have going on.
Praying for strength, endurance and victory. At 67, we still have lifestyle changes to incorporate into our lives as Mister and Misses. We are making plans on how to get out of debt. It has been hard work being who we are. Staying on top of the bills has been a part of our married lives for 48 years. There have been so many challenges along the way. I mustn't deny that it has been hard work making ends meet. Continuing on and focusing on so many things.
Husband has a haircut this afternoon, so I can stay HOME and rest my back. I need to go to the store though and get some Scotch Liquid Gold and GOO GONE so I can clean some of the furniture in the COTTAGE. Freshen it up. This little task makes me think we are on track working on the COTTAGE. I mustn't stay overwhelmed. Each day we are further along than the day before. Sometimes I cannot see this as I so wish it were completed.
Hubby will continue sheet rocking the storage side of the shed later this week. It will be wonderful to have the shed sheet rocked then new paneling put up. Then put the muscle racks in there and fill them with HOLIDAY decor. I have so much decor, it still needs thinned out.
I may allow one of the shelves to place potted plants on so they can winter. We can keep the space warm enough so the potted plants don't die. With small windows, sunshine would manage to come in. Shall see about this.
I want to keep two Nativity Scenes, greenery, garland, wreaths for the front doors, artificial Christmas trees, a variety of ornaments for sure. Christmas music on the side, some porcelain reindeers, nutcrackers, and some snowmen. There's candles and table clothes. As we begin taking over the Christmas decor, I will thin more of this stuff out. I'll be keeping the Christmas decorating to a minimum at this main house this year. There will be enough JOY to fill the rooms with HOPE.
I have skipped the halloween decor altogether and decorated some with HARVEST items and faux Autumn leaves. A garland hangs across the fireplace mantel. I'll bring some small ceramic pumpkins up this week.
DAY 5 of the Daniel Diet is in progress. I weighed myself and the scales budged just a tad. Probably water retention. Vegetables are the answer to what to eat. It's for dinner. Time for a V8 and some peanut butter on a spoon. Breakfast was an smashed avocado with salsa and a hot matcha tea. Yes, avocados are higher in calories, but the fat they bless you with are the healthy ones.
Think I'll munch on a dozen green grapes for fruit.
DO you hear that? Tis quiet in the house and I can spend time enjoying it as we live in a small town nestled in the prairie. Blue skies and gentle breezes today. Blue skies and peaceful moments. Does my heart grow fonder of Kansas? Yes.
