Fun Friday (aka Bathroom Cleaning)

Floors and dusting are finished.  Bathrooms today and then I can call the house CLEAN!  I keep a running clean on the kitchen so nothing needed there.  It's so easy to clean, very relaxing ... if it only wasn't such a pisser on my back, there would be no issue.

I finished the Jen Hatmaker book club pick.  It was such a sweet book -- perfect for this week.  I super duper promise a book post coming up.  I have lots to chat about.  Hubby leaves for VA on Sunday -- I'm planning to post Monday (in case you were dying to know).  I'm equally excited about the book I'm starting today.  AND then there's the one arriving tomorrow AND then the large stack on my dresser.  Book fun all over the place :)

I'm on a search for some new plant-forward recipes.  With tofu on hold-ish, I'm getting a bit tired of my usual meals.  My rosacea is improving this morning.  I'll give it a couple of weeks and then try another tofu meal.  Fingers crossed it was something else or a perfect storm of things -- I like the tofu when you take the time to press and marinate it -- I'd like to add it to the rotation.  I'm trying to hold a flair up for my youngest's birthday next weekend and Thanksgiving.  Maybe I need to put it on hold until the end of the month.  A big flair up can take a solid week plus to fully resolve.

I bought a can of JACK FRUIT at Whole Foods -- a popular vegan item.  I thought about making January jack fruit month, but might move that up in the rotation.  I've NEVER eaten it and it looks questionable lol.

Peloton is going well.  I rode the Beginner Advanced again yesterday.  I think that's my wheelhouse right now.  It was hard and awesome.  It was my favorite ride so far -- I might even do it again this morning.  Great balance of flat, climb, intervals, speed -- got all full experience for my muscles.  The ride ended and I started a 5 minute cool down class and the power went out.  Something happened with work in the neighborhood -- we lost power and breakers were tripped.  Most of the neighborhood had the same experience.  By the time I fixed all the issues, it was too late to cool down on the bike, but that was super LUCKY timing.

I got a recommendation from the cake baker on Instagram I follow -- The Trial of the Chicago 7 (Netflix).  Adding that to my rotation.  Maybe even a movie-date night with hubby.  

That's all from here.  I'll "work" until early afternoon, then it's back-resting the remainder of the day.  Only one goal -- KEEP MY BACK FUNCTIONAL.  Stay well.  Later gators.
