Hump Day Updates

Slept beautifully again last night.  STILL could be monthly tired at work, but I hope it means no adjustment to stopping the zen sleeping melts.

Yesterday felt FULL -- full enough to bump a few things to today (cookies and dress).  I got all my stuff checked off.  Pictures ordered, napkins ordered, errands, etc.

Now some FUN STUFF (!!)

The new cookbook I ordered is exactly what I was looking for -- I have 4 recipes on the plan for next week.  Two for me and 2 for a family dinner on Sunday.  Stay tuned.  Also, a few of the IG accounts I follow added some interesting plant based recipes recently.  Looks like my cooking is back in business.

I tried a different brand of tea bags this month (Pukka) and I like them a lot -- organic, herbal.  The supermarket is hit or miss with carrying them though.  Amazon to the rescue.  I bought a sampler box -- they have a few choices and also got an Advent Calendar of teas.  A little late (or early) for Christmas, but it's 24 flavors.  Every night I'm trying a new one.  I love it.

Hubby's tie came for the wedding.  The Tie Bar.  If you ever need something specific in ties, this is the place to order.  Pairing with a white shirt and blue suit.  Color picked by our DIL so the men's ties coordinate.

I started a non-fiction book, but I'm going to add a fiction to the mix too.  I think this will be a slow, chapter-at-a-time read.  

My former life coach is offering a workshop on pendulums and I signed up.  It's a fun thing, like tarot cards.  Tapping into intuition and energy, etc.  I like learning about these kind of things.  The class is at the end of February so I'll share more soon.

I'm also signed up for a Supreme Court Masterclass by Sharon McMahon.  She's a history teacher turned adult educator on IG.  She has a big following teaching non-partisan government facts.  This is a class on 5 Supreme Court cases in the last 20 years.  It was $10 so I thought, why not.  She does classes every month.  The only "problem" is I can't actually find the date (only that it's for February).  It's offered live and replay so I'm not too worried.  I planned to watch on replay anyway.

Learning, being curious -- big driver of happiness.  Still thinking outside-the-box until in-person can happen again.  

Stay warm.  Stay well.  Later gators.
