Random Updates

A list ... in no particular order.

(1) LFL is moving to its final stage.  I have "a guy" who'll cement the post in November.  It's happening -- prepare your heart :)

(2) Raised garden bed assembly starts on Saturday.  It'll be a long, slow process, but STEP ONE begins.  Unpack the boxes, make a plan and start sealing.  10 million other steps needed -- time's ticking and life is full so we need to get moving.  It'll be spring planting in the blink of an eye.

(3) My hairdresser gave me the name of a contractor for the bathroom at the townhouse.  Good to have backup name.

(4) Travel plans are in motion.  Lots to plan -- details for trips already on the calendar and adding new trips for 2024.  Not a bad problem to have, but it always produces a little trip anxiety for me.

(5) 2nd to last volunteer class today.  It's going quickly.  Computer training day.  I'm bringing my laptop -- business women vibes.

(6) Outnumbered for a long weekend again -- grand-dogs arrive this morning.  Lord help my sleep.

(7) Going to try my hand at traditional chai (not to be confused with a chai latte).  I need to visit a South Asian grocery store for the spices.  I like this little bit of fun coming soon.

(8) Latest food obsession.  Unsweetened almond milk yogurt with cinnamon apples on top.  Honeycrisp with spices (no sugar needed since they're already sweet) cooked until soft.  I have a batch in the refrigerator cooled for this afternoon.  I'm having a moment with alternative dairy products.

(9) Which brings me to this update.  I'm trying to eat a bit more seasonally.  Not for health reasons per se, but more for variety.  I'm bored with my usual.  Changing up for the season seems like a fun way to make food interesting while keeping healthy habits.  Maybe I won't fall face first into candy when I have new tastes around.  In season means fresher, better, tastier produce too.

(10) Bots have left the building, for now.  I guess I was too boring!  Phew.

Have a good day.  Later gators.
