GOT UP EARLY TO MAKE A TRIP TO TOPEKA FOR LAB WORK. Wanted to check my TSH to see if I'm within range. Shall know the results in a few days and go from there. LAB went so quickly.
We headed to the BIG BISCUIT for breakfast afterwards. Turkey Florentine for me. 908 calories. Plenty of protein with the turkey and 2 eggs. Guessing, but the chunk of turkey had to have been at least 4 ounces. Spinach and tomatoes and Hollandaise Sauce. English muffin and hash browns. Delicious. I didn't eat all of the English muffin or hash browns so the calorie intake was less than 908. Water to drink. I'd order this again.

NEEDING TO BALANCE OUT THE CARBS I CONSUMED the last few days with salads, vegetables and greens this wk-end and everyday. Doing alright with my morning cayenne pepper added to hot tea. Seems to have become a habit I'm willing to continue. Mentally now I am making notes of what I am eating. Wanting to stay GOOD about this.
Since we were in TOPEKA, we darted to GOD's STOREHOUSE to browse. Spied two bookcases each having 5 shelves. Reasoning is that we can use these in the bedroom to store books that are in boxes until the build-ins happen then these two book cases can go to HUBBY's Art Studio that will be created in the garage for Art Books, pottery, knick-knacks and art supplies. It won't matter if they are roughed up or not.
We purchased them, but had to leave them behind to go get LIL PETE who can haul these large book cases. I also purchased a lovely cream colored Queen size bedspread for $14. She's a BEAUTY in very good shape. 100% COTTON. No rips or stains. Fantastic bargain. I felt blessed to come upon this one. I think this one is extremely gorgeous.
After we checked out, we headed HOME, rested by taking a short nap then went to the storage unit to get some furniture blankets for hauling the book cases HOME. We drove back the GOD's STOREHOUSE to pick up our bookcases with two young men helping to load the units into the back of the car.
Hubby is a pro when it comes to tying things down to haul. With WINTER being present, the chilly air entered into the rear of the car because the cases stuck out of the back where the door could not be closed. Call it therapy to breathe in fresh winter country air as we drove across the prairie. FREE THERAPY. No insurance policies involved.
We rolled into town before dark. The wind had picked up with some fresh snow. Hubby unloaded the furniture onto the front porch and will finish getting them into the house tomorrow. We have some more shuffling to make room for the bookcases in the front bedroom.
The multitude of books that are in boxes will be emptied with the cardboard boxes being broken down. GONE. One more project for getting here to there in this saga called downsizing.
I can hear the cold winter wind howling outside as night draws near. WINTER FOR SURE. We had chicken pot pies for supper to warm our stomachs. A warm food to eat. Contented now for the night.
I'll fold and put away towels tonight. Watch some television and plan for the wk-end. This week has flown by and I don't have the BLUE WILLOW DISHES all put away. New goal set for this wk-end. No rush.
Making plans encourages me to have goals. They are not in concrete and I need to be flexible going with the flow.
I love thrifting. I love it. Each trip thrifting is an adventure that I don't know what will be found. Life can be like that, huh?
As we shuffle and dig out from the boxes...HUBBY came across two heavy BALDWIN 14" metal candlesticks/chamber sticks which were purchased from a THRIFT STORE several years ago. I forgot how beautiful they are. OH WOW, the things we are uncovering that are in these storage boxes is like CHRISTMAS GIFTS to treat us all over again.
