- I left after 5th period yesterday feeling icky. Allergies, headachey, and that heavy sort of feel I get before getting sick. So, I went to Publix and got one of those immunity shot things (I’m sure they do nothing but I convince myself they do) and I even got to briefly ogle the hot produce guy, then I went home and sat in the sauna for a good 15 minutes. My son said he wasn’t feeling good either so he got in it before me, meaning it was nice and toasty once I got in. I then set an alarm for 30 minutes…and proceeded to sleep nearly 90.
- I guess I just needed that rest. As noted in my Thursday post, I have been burning the candle at both ends for far too long without any intentional stops. Sure, I have been running some, walking, and doing a bit of reading but none of it has felt like a rest for me. And maybe that’s what I need more of. Hard to though when you feel like so many people rely on you and you can’t, for one second, take a step back and say “no, not this time.”
- Lately, as one of our weekly keto meals, we’ve been eating Publix bratwursts. A couple times now, those have been sold out so I picked up kielbasa instead. You must understand that my husband has a lot of weird ideas about food. Until a year ago, sausage of any kind wasn’t even on the approved list. Well, we made those kielbasas last night and I am convinced they’re almost identical with the exception of maybe a little more garlic. Either way, they were fine – and filling – which is what I like about that meal. Two sausages, some sauerkraut (for me; he’d never touch that!) and a little spicy mustard. Yum.
- I’m hungry today though and not sure why. I normally don’t eat anything until at least 11 but already I’m feeling it. Back in the Fall I started a habit of going to Starbucks on my way to work and getting a breakfast sandwich. I then added about 10 pounds that I have since lost. The key to that stuff is to only do it sometimes, not every day. I almost went today due to my hunger but I’m staying strong. I’ll save it for later when we have tacos and guacamole.
- The only plan we have this weekend is to brew. It’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, stopping by evening. I hope that’s true because the temp is also supposed to drop and I would love to have a fire. This past fall/winter, we didn’t have nearly as many as we normally do, due to warmer temps and rain on weekends. What good is a fire pit when you can’t use it? Anywho, hope everyone has a lovely weekend; I plan, in my free time, to tidy the house, drink some beer, and watch some movies. Sounds fabulous.
