Another day in the kitchen and my back isn't happy about it. Standing at the counter bothers my mid-back -- always has and once it gets to a certain point, the only thing that helps is laying in bed.
This made for some hard times playing with my grandson, but I did and I loved every minute. He's at such a fabulous age and he's absolutely the sweetest little boy.
While I cooked, I listened to an audio book for bookclub this month. "The Small and the Mighty" by Sharon McMahon. I usually don't enjoy audio books, but I thought this one would be good. Short stories, read by author -- it's fabulous. She's such an excellent storyteller and historian. More than once I got verklempt and had to stop myself from crying -- it's really beautiful stories about some amazing people who never got the attention of the history books. I'm almost halfway.
My energy has been awful this week and I think it has a lot to do with sugar. I've been eating sweets and A LOT of fruit -- it's caught up to me. I'm phasing it out now. Enough is enough -- I want to be back to feeling well.
This morning is a little out of order for me. I'm tending the garden then walking to the farmers market for tomatoes. When I get home, I'll workout. Then walking to the library to exchange books. A bit of a slow roll in a different way. Hopefully, less cooking today, but still a lot of time in the kitchen hosting a HBD dinner for hubby. I expect another back issue by the end of the day.
That said, after today, I have a nice week ahead. Hubby has a friend staying for the week and I'm on my own. Quite a few social moments and adding in outdoors in too.
I need to get moving -- I slept in this morning and time is ticking away. Have a good Saturday. Later gators.
