BLESSINGS TO YOU.
Hello from the Kansas Prairie.
IT'S HOTTER THAN A FIRECRACKER OUTSIDE. Yesterday, it felt like SUMMER for sure. I drank quite a bit of water to stay hydrated. No TEA for me until the latter part of July. Even herbal. Taking a break from it. Prepping for my July Labs.
Going caffeine free for now, but will treat myself to TEA later in ze month because I purchased some HARNEY & SONS Paris. Haven't a clue what this is, but it sounded like OOH LALAA.
I must be dreaming. I've been so busy that the days are a blur.
I stayed in my pink housecoat until NOON. Said I was being lazy. There was knock at the door. SIL and Lil Dude stopped by for a quick visit with us. My Grandson watched Dinosaur Train for a few minutes with me before he left.
Hubby unloaded the storage tubs from our unit that we had in the car and placed them on the porch to disinfect them. Next they'll come into the house for me to decide what to keep or get rid of.
Later in the evening Hubby, Daughter and SIL will go to the out-of-town storage unit 25 minutes away to retrieve a curio cabinet in their nice size truck. I'll babysit. We're getting close to having the unit emptied. Getting close. Praise the Lord. I think I'll drive over and gather all the boxes and haul them HOME. One more run on the boxes then the larger pieces of furniture will disappear.
JULY will be here before I know it. I won't be making my goal of being completely out of his storage unit by July 1st, but if we can stay steady at this, we'll be done early July.
This is a big project for lil 'ole me and my darling hubby. Surely LIFE isn't just about hauling STUFF from one place to the next. SO ready to call it done. The heat index is climbing which makes working outside rather dangerous for us. We have to pace ourselves. SO much of my life has involved moving and relocating like a Nomad. We've been working in the storage units all of June. We're into our fourth week of this. Proud of us for sticking to it. This getting settled into our tiny COTTAGE has been an ongoing work for us. Our 2026 SPRING/SUMMER PROJECT IS emptying the storage units, cleaning out the garage, relocating Holiday Decor and dishes/glassware to different locations then making some sense out of the cellar and SHE SHED. This all needs to be done before we step into the next stage of what we are doing.
The inside of the COTTAGE will be in an upheaval as we work. We'll start with the TV room with painting the walls and sanding down the wood trim to apply new paint to it. Right now the ceiling will remain as is. I'd like to add wide crown molding after we paint. The carpet will be pulled up after the furniture etc. is shuffled to the Living room. THEN we'll decide if we can salvage the 126ish year old flooring or lay new carpet. Makes my head spin. 🤯 This is definitely a great exercise regime, huh?
I woke early and have made plans for the day. Hubby will remain HOME to work on the car. The horn isn't working and one of the headlights flickers. He has already replaced the headlights and filters. Before the temps rise too high, I'll be going to TOPEKA to Sam's and God's Storehouse for my Tuesday THRIFT TREAT.
On my way HOME, I'll stop off at the Launder Mat and wash a load of teddy bears that need some attention. They were in a cardboard box in storage and mice got into the box. They found a comfortable place to do what not. humpf. Anyways, they'll get laundered in a jumbo machine at the Mat, semi-dried in a machine and then I'll let them finish air drying. My Teddy Bears will come HOME and after they dry they'll be placed in a nicer storage box. When we return the SHE SHED back into a Victorian Bedroom, I think my Teddies will stay there. Downsizing the way we have has made me HAVE TO figure where to go with my collections.
Alrighty then.
Lunch will take place and then I can rest a bit indoors. With the temps rising, I will need to stay indoors in the heat of the day.
I started cutting back on certain foods on Sunday. This is day 3 and day 3 is usually a hard one as my body protest and craves the foods I am avoiding. I noticed a mild headache. Probably caffeine and sugar withdrawal. 🧁🫖 So far, I have stayed faithful. Breakfast has been crunchy celery sticks with peanut butter, an apple or cuties. Kind of enjoying this for the time being.
This is supreme discipline for me as food is a weakness I have. Especially sweets. My attitude could click and finally say that it is alright to eat a different way and I am content. I'm not there yet, but I could be at any second. grins.
I've heard that if you have been diagnosed with cancer, you should stop eating fruit, highly processed foods and avoid sugar. Cancer feeds on sugar. EAT BROCCOLI. My Brother-in-Law has been newly diagnosed with cancer. The medical doctor he visited with told him he should be on the KETO DIET. Cancer feeds on sugar. Another medical confirmation that sugar causes health issues.
Way too much cancer. Our environment, nutrition, quality of food, beverages, lifestyles are so important that I call them sacred.
