FREE TIME FOR A LITTLE BIT. Don't get me wrong...I love my Husband and spending time with him, but I also need some alone time for myself. He's off getting new tires put on the car over in Manhattan as I stayed HOME. The house is very QUIET and right now this is an appealing quality to me who needs alone time from time to time. I can hear myself think.
DAY STARTED EARLY. I'm sipping spring water after having taken my morning meds. Thyroid meds on an empty stomach with spring water. I won't eat anything for a couple of hours. FRUIT this morning. Think I'll aim to have fruit for morning food and lunch will be a large salad. Supper will be steamed veggies. I believe I can pull this off. Hubby will get extra protein with his meals. I'll be cutting back AGAIN on the red meat.
Having had CO VID in JULY, something has happened to my taste buds. I look at food and it turns me off. Hubby is having issues with eggs. Perhaps, I will be able to downsize in a easier way by not eating as much. My friend JUDY has shrunk in body size over the last year. She went to the doctor and was told she was fine. She told me that she lost interest in eating and doesn't know why. Perhaps I'll do the same.
OVER THE WEEK-END, I babysat my youngest grandchild for an over nighter. First time for him and parents to not be sleeping under the same roof. I thought he would perhaps cry some at bedtime, but he was really tired and went to bed without any problems. I deliberately kept him occupied and busy and allowed him to stay up until 10:30. He stayed in his own bed and slept through the night.
Now on the other hand, I didn't sleep sound because I was concerned that he might get up in the middle of the night and I wouldn't know about it. It all worked out and I took a 3 hour NAP when I returned HOME. It didn't keep me from sleeping at last night either so I was truly tired.
Still waiting for the KENMORE VACUUM part to arrive at our front door to see if the vac will work after I burned up the motor a few years back and went to using a BLACK and DECKER that was deep cleaned recently. I will vacuum the upholstered living room furniture today if the BLACK and DECKER will work right. This is my today plan. The entire living room will be deep cleaned.
I had kept the KENMORE beast and refused to throw it away. I didn't have the heart to pitch it knowing what we had paid for it, but being busy with illnesses and a move with an assignment to downsize, the vacuum stayed out of sight until now.
I'm preparing for a visit with my elderly MOM later this week. Hubby will stay HOME remodeling the bathroom while I venture to IOWA. The housing complex Mom lives in has a very long hall and if I walk it 4 times, I will have covered a mile. I wouldn't have to face the outdoor elements this way when walking for the day.
Praying for a blessed day. I'll busy myself here in a little bit after I drink my HOT TEA. Slow morning for me and then off I will be busy on this TUESDAY morning.
Having a slow start does not necessarily mean a slow ending, does it?
First, move slowly when you're making any major decision. The book of Proverbs says a lot about this. PROVERBS 21:29 says, “Wicked people bluff their way, but God's people think before they take a step” (CEV). And Proverbs 4:26 says, “Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure” (ESV).
BLESSINGS TO YOU,
