Hello Beautiful Peeps!
How's life?
It's feeling pretty stuffy over here. Matt caught a cold the end of our AZ trip - and I now have it. So life here is filled with hot tea, cold meds, chicken soup, lots of soft tissues and warm cozy blankets. Oh well, sometimes it's good to be forced to slow down, right?
So needless to say, we had a very quiet weekend and hung out at home. We did run a few quick errands (I was feeling better then). And Matt did some great chores around the house taking down the Christmas lights and outside decorations and cleaning things up in general. I did take down my inside greenery, Valentines things, snowmen etc. But saving the deeper cleaning and getting out the bunnies and Easter things for when I have more pep.
Matt has also been doting on me, giving me backrubs, and just being wonderful in general and I'm so very grateful for having the sweetest Hubby in the whole world. 💗

CURRENTLY READING
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
I had started it years ago but got detoured and never got very far. I've seen the old movie of it many years ago. But I want to read it fully and then watch the old movie again and the newer movie they made on Netflix once I'm done.
ON THE TV TODAY:
Jeopardy, old seasons of big brother & the office, the Pitt, Best Medicine, When Calls the Heart, Survivor, Ghosts, Outlander, and currently bingeing the series Victoria while I'm sick
ON THE MENU THIS WEEK:
MONDAY - sweet potato taco bowls we never made last week - we add taco meat, roasted sweet potato, cottage cheese, avocado and drizzle hot honey - so good! (I may just have soup or at least have soup for lunch)
TUESDAY - Mexican inspired chicken salad on a bed of a chipotle salad kit (we're on a Mexican kick if you can't tell 😂)
WEDNESDAY - ?
not sure rest of the week and will need to get groceries and make a plan
THURSDAY - ?
FRIDAY - fish dinner
TO RELAX THIS WEEK I WILL:
rest, binge shows, read, nap
TIPS OR SOMETHING TO SHARE:
FROM THE CAMERA:
Late last week we had an ice storm and the next day on my way to work at the hospice house the world was filled with frosty beauty
Meanwhile...while we're dealing with ice storms, my adorable daughter (going to college in FL) was sending me pics of her sunny beach time with friends and her bf.
Here are some photos from last Spring/Summer to give you an idea of the kind of dreaming I'm doing - green growing things, peonies blooming, solar lanterns glowing magic, and walks in the warm sunshine.
I know I just need to be patient and it will come.
