It’s been almost two weeks since my first vaccine, and I’m feeling safe enough to go to the local park in the morning to walk! It is SO nice to walk somewhere other than my neighborhood! This morning it was an unseasonably cold first day of spring, but I couldn’t […]
That’s me who’s feisty, not Hestia! I picked up groceries today from a different Walmart, and they were out of only two items! This is a huge improvement from my normal Walmart store. So I had to go to Lidl to get a pork roast and some salsa. I double […]
Yesterday we got jabbed with our COVID vaccines! Brad’s mom was on it, noticing before anyone else that South Carolina was going to open up vaccinations to our group on March 8th. Luckily we were able to get appointments for only one day later, the 9th! We picked our friend […]
This morning I was really struggling, but I had to go to the grocery store to get a few items due to a really messed up Walmart pickup experience. I decided to pouch Hestia so that she could be right on my chest to provide pressure therapy and support for […]
I have created a new smoothie that I am enjoying having for breakfast—and sometimes also for dessert! I call it the chocolate covered cherry smoothie. It is really really tasty, and also pretty dang healthy! Here are the ingredients: 1/2 frozen banana (peel and wrap bananas before freezing!) 1 heaping […]
I had only three leggings outfits for wintertime that fit right now, and it was getting tiresome always rotating between the three (because it’s been too cold for dresses now that I’m walking every morning!). So I made an order from Shein for two tops, and also got a pair […]
Today our Walmart pickup order was out of stock for snow peas, bok choy, broccoli shreds, and almond milk. The broccoli shreds I could do without (those just go on my hummus toast for lunch). But we can’t do without almond milk (my breakfast smoothies and Brad’s cereal). And […]
Ollie’s been slowly declining since his cancer diagnosis about six months ago. But we thought at the rate he was going, he might even get to meet our new puppy coming home this summer. Over the weekend, though, Ollie’s health took an abrupt turn for the worse. We consulted with […]
Today Miss Hestia told me several time, “we are not amused”. Like the Queen in the Dr. Who episode, he he he! Hestia dislikes going out in the cold weather. This morning, I wanted to go for a walk like usual. However, Hestia was not interested. I coaxed her to […]
I made a winner for dinner tonight! It’s a pretty simple recipe with just mango, bacon, butternut squash, onion, thyme, salt, and pepper. I adapted the recipe from https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/228100/mango-bacon-butternut-squash-hash/ I doubled the recipe because we love leftovers! I also added twice as much bacon, and added an onion based on […]
