This week has been busy. Tony has been working extra hours at our old house to get it ready. We were hoping to sell it, but his Mom may be moving there instead. It's up in the air right now. We're not sure what's going to happen. We have to be ready for any possibility. [...]
I have way too much food right now, so I'm skipping the recipe this week. I thought about topic for this week's post, and I remembered living through perimenopause and how it affected my workouts and keeping my weight in check. It was definitely a wild ride and very challenging indeed. What is perimenopause? According to Johns [...]
This week I have been doing some thinking about a subject that I find concerning. The reason that it has come to mind in the first place is because two women in our family are basically being dumped by the men in their lives because they don't want to care for them when they get sick. One [...]
This week I spent some time working on my car. It was a heater core flush. What can happen in a car over time is gunk gets trapped in the heater core and causes the heat to not work. Now, it could also be the thermostat, but a flush should do the trick. Essentially it's hooking up some clear [...]
I am FINALLY through the apples. Time for a savory dish. I've been so busy lately, I am going for something simple this week. Lots of things are happening at work all at once. Our old house is still coming along. Too many things. Before I get to the recipe I wanted to bring up something off topic: mask [...]
This week I'm working on installing some flooring in our old house. Took some time off work to do it. While this vacation time is being used for working, I do FINALLY have a real vacation coming up soon. Who'd have thought. I'm looking forward to a road trip. Tony is looking forward to that and a hockey game. He was [...]
Looks like winter finally is showing up in Michigan. Our first winter storm is happening this week. This year has been a bit odd without any snow. This is climate change, whether you believe in it or not. I'm also seeing in the forecast some of the first bitter cold mornings. I'm a person who runs like the US Postal [...]
I'm almost back to normal. I hope to start running at the beginning of next week. It's so important when you get sick to rest. If you try to push through, you are not giving your immune system a chance to do its job. The only thing I hate about being sick is being bored. I love that I can [...]
I know this recipe is coming a little later than usual, but that's the way things went. I do believe you can get a little New Year's luck any time of year. Anyway, as I write this I am getting over a cold. Not doing as well as I like to be. These days, I don't take sick time [...]
Happy New Year! Before I do a recipe with black eyed peas like I normally do, I wanted to first get something out of my freezer. I made the chocolate red wine cake with raspberry buttercream frosting and have a whole bunch of frosting in my freezer that I didn't use. So I looked for a recipe that [...]
