Friends

Happy National Best Friends Day!

“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself — and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to — letting a person be what he really is.” — Jim Morrison

Crafting Stool

I finally found my crafting stool.  We ended up buying it at Amazon.  We only spent about $50.00, and it is the perfect height.  I still haven’t really crafted or even organized under the table yet, but I have my chair!

Magazines 

Another one of my indulgences are magazines. I love them. I used to subscribe to many of them, now I just pick up one or two when I am at the store.


I keep them in a basket by my chair, and will read them and then reread them.

I love them.  I used to get them on my tablet. It really isn’t the same as flipping through the pages.

What are some of your indulgences?

Weekly Shots

I take two shots weekly on Sunday evenings for my Lupus.  

This weekend has been bad for me with my Lupus, bones are aching and fatigue is heavy.  Doing too much lately and my body said rest. 

I don’t like it but it is something I still deal with.  Seeing my Rheumatologist this morning hoping to stop taking one if these shots.  I have really like getting off of most of my medicines with my weight loss.  I really, really don’t like giving myself shots. 

Hopeful.

Sunday Thought

“No is still a great word.  When need be, let’s have the guts to say it: to someone pushy, to someone manipulative and to someone in the mirror.  When we need to say no, let’s learn to say it right then instead of putting if off for days and dreading it like the plague.  Get it over with.” – Beth Moore

Saying no in the mirror today.  Mind wants to go and do, and body is not up for it.  So, no is okay today.  It should be everyday when we need to say it.  Why don’t we allow ourselves a break?

Slowing down this weekend.  Enough is okay.

Love and blessings.

Enough

I bought this at TJ MAXX.  I have been doubting myself lately, and how much I am doing.  This reminds me that I am enough. I am doing enough.  It will be hanging in the office soon.

Kalbi

Dinner out last night with Carmen.  She had sushi (I can’t have the rice), and I ordered the Kalbi.  I so need to learn how to make this.

I ate three of the BBQ ribs, and a couple slices of carrots. Lots of leftover rice, vegetables, and sushi for everyone else.  I will enjoy the leftover ribs for at least a couple of days.

Blessings.

Habits-Walking 

I have been walking in the mornings on our treadmill.   I started with the cardio setting, but have liked the interval program. Oh goodness!! Liked is not really how I should describe it.

It kick my butt! I am out of breathe. Ugh. I am starting out my day with walking.  Trying to kick up my metabolism.  I needed a way to to track my walks, and found a printable insert with my Passion Planner.  I love my Passion Planner.

Not just trying to log my walking habits but other positive habits as well.  How do you track your habits?

Meatball Noodle Bake

I was lazy on Monday, and realized that I needed to fix something for dinner.  So I searched in the pantry and found some elbow macaroni pasta, marina sauce, and some Italian meatballs in the freezer.

So I cooked the noodles, and thought of a making a ziti bake but with elbow macaroni.  I just did the sauce, meatballs and cheese for myself. Mine without the noodles.

David’s with the noodles. It turned out nice.  Dinner.
