Good...evening! I had to work today and that took up a lot of my day. I'm home now and dinner is made and most chores are done so I can finally sit down and make this post.
The weather in my neck of the woods: Warmer than last week, thank heavens.
As I look outside my window: My curtains are actually drawn because it's so sunny outside, it's glaring up on my laptop screen. But if my curtains were open, I'd see my side yard and Duke the cat that doesn't quite belong to my neighbors and doesn't quite belong to me lurking around.
Right now, I am: Singing along (badly) to music, typing up this post and staring mournfully at the laundry I'm gonna have to start folding.
Something fun to share: People who walk daily are less likely to be depressed. My WalkFit app tells me fun things like that daily.
Thinking and pondering: I have tomorrow off, and I'm so very glad. I love what I do for work, but every once in a while I just need a break from it. I also get to see two friends I haven't seen in a long while tomorrow and that makes me so happy. On a more serious (maybe) note, I've noticed that the older I get, the less patience I have for people and their gossip. Having once been the piece of gossip in my town, I just want nothing to do with it. And people are so bent on dragging others into their negativity. I had to step away from a situation yesterday and take myself on a long hike because I just refuse to deal with it.
On my bedside table: A lot of books. Nail polishes. The charger cord for my smart watch. A plastic Oscar the Grouch
On my TMV: Will Trent, Dance Moms (Season 4!), The Black Swan (what am I watching, y'all?!)
Listening to: "Love Me More" by David Wimbish & The Collection. That band will always have a special place in my heart. Goose is humming while she plays with Gypsy...also, Gypsy is a clown! I've forgotten what it's like to have a young cat in the house. Ren was my grumpy old man and Gypsy is the complete opposite.
On the menu for the week: I made beef stew today. Ella's in charge of dinner tomorrow and I think it's gonna be Breakfast for Dinner. Wednesday is Crockpot Taco Soup and Thursday I think we are having Chicken Nachos, but don't quote me on that. It's all interchangeable.
On my to do list: I'm gonna help Goose change over her bedding for Spring, fold some laundry, and go for a run.
What I am creating: A silly portrait of Gypsy. Stay tuned!!!
My simple pleasure: Solo hiking. I'd been afraid to hike alone for YEARS, but now that I've gone alone a few times, it makes me so happy.
Looking around the house: THE LAUNDRY, YOU GUYS. My walls are dappled with little rainbows from the suncatchers, and there's sunshine in every corner of the house. But...the LAUNDRY.
From the camera:
bottom picture: Phacellia Fimbriata. The forest is full of it.
Bible verse, Devotional: I don't have anything this week, but I'm just happy to pray for all those that need it.
What a cosy post! Solo hiking, beef stew, cats, lovely girls, .. enjoy it all
ReplyDeleteI love gypsy's little 'teefs' lol I used to solo hike before my knees decided to fall apart. The left knee cap likes to slide out of place and I have to be so careful, especially on uneven ground. I've been doing standing yoga, Tai Chi, and bike riding. Probably a replacement in my future.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great week!
