New Week on the Horizon

My back feels good enough for a Peloton ride this morning -- phew.  

I dodged an interesting bullet yesterday.  I bought a Cracker Barrel cheese block from my usual Publix store.  I check dates of a lot of things, but not cheese from this busy store because it moves quickly.  Sliced a piece, ate it and it tasted horrible.  Looked at the date -- it was expired by almost a FULL YEAR (!!)  Cue the gagging, etc.  I'm "off" cheese for the immediate future.  Same thing happened when I got a bad egg (didn't even eat it, smelling was enough).  Fortunately, no stomach issues.  I googled and the answer was anywhere from "don't worry about it" to "you might die."

Hubby got his car -- Audi convertible coming in about a month.  That "drama" is finished.

I finished these books.  New library pick up this afternoon.

It's the method I used for alcohol.

Interesting love story.

Maybe I'll chat more about The Choice Point in another post.  I heard the author on a podcast.  It's about visualization and allowing thoughts to elaborate into stories that cue feelings, emotions, etc.  Basically, romanticizing things.  When you do, you want those things.  It works the other way too (like the bad cheese is now thoughts that cue gagging and disgust lol).  You have a moment to choose to toss the thought, otherwise, your brain begins the story and emotions.  I really like the concept and I unknowingly used this method regarding alcohol.  The book itself was okay -- lots of fluff to fill in the concept and prove they researched it (as books like this do).

Bookclub is last minute virtual today.  The woman who organizes the meetings dropped the ball AGAIN.  This time it's a family issue (understandable, of course), but she's been dropping the ball for 6 months.  She asked if I would take it over until next year.  I haven't responded yet, but I'll probably do it.  I'm not going to the meeting though.  I don't enjoy virtual and last minute isn't getting any response.  I'm a bit grumpy about it.

That's my Sunday in a nutshell.  I'm kind of in a bad place mentally right now.  I need to pull out of it (again).  I hate to declare a big promise, but that's what is on the horizon.  Big girl panties on.  Dang, hormones are hard.  Chat for another time when I actually have progress to report.  Right now it's all doom and gloom :)

Hope you are gearing up for a good week.  Later gators.
