Hello, my sisters. Thank you so much for your warm replies last week. My sister has another follow-up appointment on Wednesday, and we are hopeful that her platelets have improved enough that she will be able to get the testing she needs to at least be staged. Then we move on from there.
I ate out a couple of times last week (Chic Fil a grilled nuggets, pizza) so I still have my freezer stash of portioned out ingredients to use this week, which is great since I start training.
***Past week's pondering***
I've been thinking a lot about what I want the rest of my life to look like, how I want to be remembered, and what I need to do to stop wasting time. Obviously, my sister's diagnosis has us all thinking this way, especially her :(
*** The weather in my neck of the woods***
It has finally cooled off and we are in the 60s with chilly mornings - BUT - rain, rain, and more rain! Jennah and I got soaked going to Aldi and Dollar General earlier today.
*** What I am wearing ***
My usual at-home wear of black yoga pants and an oversized Nirvana t-shirt
*** On The Reading Pile***
I did read once last week. I put it on my daily to do list but only read one time. I will do better this week! Reading fast and easy thrillers. Still plucking away at War and Peace! I've been listening on audio!
*** What's on my tv ***
YouTube: Thrifting, weight loss, Christianity
***Favorite blog post/YouTube video last week***
I am still binging all things Thrifting. It comforts me watching people thrift shop! I'm not sure what it is, but it works. The woman below purchases lovely vintage items for her home.
***On the Menu ***
MONDAY: Taco pasta
TUESDAY: Homemade pizza
WEDNESDAY: BBQ chicken, green beans, baked potato
THURSDAY: Peanut noodles with shrimp, edamame
FRIDAY: Baked cheesy chicken and rice with broccoli
SATURDAY: Two Peas & Their Pod Sausae & Tortellini Soup
SUNDAY: Enchiladas and Spanish rice
*** On my to do list ***
This week:
Training
Uno Night
Cook for Dad
Pick up prescriptions
Make doctor's appointments
Decorate for fall
*** No words needed (favorite photo or picture) ***
I took two photos this week, lol. I'm going to make an effort this week!
Diet Coke - it was needed!
Ollie Bear taking his 14th nap of the day :)
*** This week''s Bible Study**
I'm still in Revelation. Didn't really make any progress last week. I need to focus
*** This week's prayer list***
Please keep my sister Beth in your prayers, along with her 16-year-old son, Caleb, and my Dad
I am linking up with Mailbox Monday It's Monday! What Are You Reading? The Sunday Post @ caffeinatedbookreviewer WHAT DID I READ THIS WEEK: It was a pretty slow reading week actually. I only finished two books. I made it 1/2-way through a third book, but we'll talk about that one next week. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery 4***** and Porch Lights, by Dorothea Benton Frank 4.5 ****-1/2 I was so pleasantly surprised by "Porch Lights". The characters are FABULOUS. I wanted to be just like the mom character only 5% into the book! This story is about relationships. How family is important not just in hard times, but ALL the time. The setting is stunning too. The South Carolina Lowcountry. I want a whole series of books revolving around these characters! FAVORITE QUOTE FROM A BOOK I READ: Two this week....

I am linking up with Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday The weather ..... We've had a few simply beautiful days in the upper 70s - lower 80s with blue skies and fluffy clouds. I've walked out of work and thought ..... wow! Now this is perfection! Right now I am .... Taking a break from hand-washing dishes. I really don't enjoy it! LOL But I have been watching the YouTube channel " Shelly's Home Life" and it makes cleaning more enjoyable! If you haven't watched her before, check her out. Great recipes, she does some planner-ing, grocery hauls, and clean-with-me types of videos. Thinking.... My mind is always racing. I'm always thinking about a whole mess of things. Right now I'm thinking about the changes that I have already made to my life and the goals I want to set up for September! Something fun or interesting that happened. .. I watched the entire movie ...
