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 [...]
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 [...]
Now that I'm back home, I wanted to do something pretty simple. All this travelling has taken a lot out of me. However, I can't leave dessert behind. I like having my sweet fix after dinner. I just can't help it. I also think it helps me to eat healthier. If you are constantly skipping [...]
This week I spent some time on the roof our our old house. I hate being on roofs and ladders. I'm not one of those people that likes heights and unstable ladders. Tony, on the other hand, it doesn't phase. Now I'm willing to do a lot of things. I've shoveled snow in sub-zero temperatures, [...]
I'm thrilled to have a regular week. There's something about a regular routine that is comforting. At least for me. Menopause has made my brain a bit forgetful. So, the routine helps me remember what I'm supposed to be doing. I can tell that when things are out of routine, I forget things. Every trip [...]
I'm still recovering from last week's marathon of house work. My runs so far have been kinda crappy. Even so, I'd rather have a slower than normal run than no run at all. When we work out, we will have days where we're just not feeling it. The difference between someone who has made exercise [...]
I love piña coladas, however, the calorie count for these is sky high. It is the drink of summer. Fun fact - I hate summer. I know I am one of the few people on this planet who hates warm weather. I never liked it in the first place, and now couple that with feeling [...]
I finally done travelling for a while. I went to an exercise of our BioWatch program. If you are not familiar with exercises, it's not working out but practicing our emergency protocols. This way they are more familiar when an actual emergency occurs. BioWatch is a federal program. According to the Department of Homeland Security: [...]
We just got internet installed at the new house. We have been in a dead zone for a long time. Being able to do a video chat for the first time was glorious. The WIFI is working, but the hard wired stuff is not. More testing to do, but we are cooking with gas! I [...]
OMG! We are finally moving stuff in earnest. I finished the gym floor and did a final cleaning before that. I can't believe it's finally here. The hoarded house has become our home. There are only two of us so it will take us some time to move. However, we are moving. I'm so excited! [...]
