I'm ALONE (except my old pup). Hubby out of town, youngest in NY, no contractors (tomorrow I have contractors again) ... just ME. All. Day. Long. --- All. Night. Long.
I have NO plans. I have nothing on my to-do list ... did it all yesterday. Busy worker bee to clear my list for today of all the unpleasant chores waiting (bills, furniture protection claim, etc).
I have to figure out if I want to be a lazy slug or productive in my ME time. The caveat is I woke up with a cold sore. Yikes. What a bother. It's just blooming. I was going to finally get a pedicure, eyebrows, etc. Not sure I'm feeling it with this honker of a sore on my lip.
But the best part ... I don't have to decide. It can be whatever I want it to be.
First a treadmill run. Shower. Then WHATEVER!!
Yesterday was a good day too. I worked hard during the day to get junk finished. I took an extra rest day since my knee was bothering me ... the endurance stuff this month has been too much on my knee when combined with running.
I finally tried the Instant Pot and LOVED it! I made spaghetti squash in a fraction of the time and it was perfectly cooked. I'm going to try hard boiled eggs next. Starting with the basics and going from there. I'd like to try some meat toward the end of the week. I'll need to do a little research for something easy ... maybe a whole chicken? One of my favorite W30 websites has a section on Instant Pot cooking (NomNom Paleo). (I want to call it InstaPot ... I guess since I just joined Instagram??) It sautés, slow cooks and pressure cooks -- really one pot cooking. I'm glad I bought the large capacity.
We golfed with the eldest yesterday. So HOT. Probably contributed to my cold sore. But it was fun! I'm golfing much better lately and that makes it enjoyable again. We headed for a dinner out (after showers - crazy sweating). His girlfriend joined us after work. Fun, relaxing evening.
Couldn't do this again if my life depended on it!
Then Thrones. Good, not great. It was a building up episode. The hour flew by though -- guess it was not too bad!
That's life in a nutshell. Tomorrow is back to reality. Shutters being installed, noon lift (if my cold sore isn't the size of China) and grocery store run. Today is not any of those things. Today is ME only. My INTENTION today is to enjoy the peace, be respectful to ME and NOT sit on the sofa all day watching TV and feeding my face (you know it's happened before!!).
Have a good Monday!!
His new Bun Bun from his favorite Aunt.
She had a Bun Bun as a little girl and gave him one too!
Farmer's Market on Saturday. We got the best iced tea ... white pear ginger.
So good we ordered the tea bags as soon as we got home!
This is how my crazy pup sleeps in the morning.
Cracks me up every time. Love this old boy.
