"Just because I laugh a lot, doesn't mean my life is easy. Just because I have a smile on my face every day, doesn't mean that something is not bothering me. I just choose to move on, and not dwell on all the negatives in my life. Every new moment gives me the chance to renew anew. I choose to be that." (Author Unknown)
Hello, my lovely friends!
Alright, weekend vibes are practically here! But hey, let's be real, doesn't it feel like every day's a mini-vacation sometimes? Anyone else been soaking up all this sunshine lately? It's been absolutely dreamy! Buuuut, hold onto your hats, folks, because it sounds like Jack Frost decided to clock in for some overtime. Yep, snow's making a surprise guest appearance tomorrow! Guess winter's determined to squeeze every last snowflake out.
The good news is, my mom's pain seems to be finally easing up! She's definitely using way less of the pain meds and gummies, which is fantastic. I still give her a nighttime gummy, and honestly, it's been a game-changer. For the past month, she's been sleeping all night long! Seriously, she used to be up and down constantly, so this is a huge win.
She chatted with her doctor about the pain last week, and they're keeping an eye on her A1C levels, which are a bit high. Of course, with all the stress, pain, and meds, it's understandable. She's working hard to get those numbers down so she can explore some treatment options.
I've been encouraging her to try physical therapy and some gentle stretching. She doesn't move around much during the day, and I think that's really contributing to her discomfort. We're hoping some movement will make a big difference!
Alright, sunshine lovers! Next week's forecast is looking absolutely glorious, which means... it's officially yard-spruce-up season! Time to dust off those gardening gloves and get ready to make some magic happen.
I'm super pumped to dive into my garden this year, especially after a few… ahem… learning experiences last season. (Let's just say my tomatoes decided black spots were the latest fashion trend, and some lettuce containers threw a full-on no-show party.) So, operation "Revamp the Garden" is in full swing!
First on the to-do list: fresh potting soil! It's been a few years, and I think my plants deserve a spa day for their roots. Then, it's seed-sorting time! I'm already dreaming of all the delicious veggies we'll be growing. And guess what? Those garden tables I bought ages ago? They're finally getting assembled! More space for more veggies! Woot!
I'm feeling a real buzz about growing my own food this year. It feels like more and more of us are rediscovering the joy of getting our hands dirty and watching things grow. Let's make this year's garden the best one yet! What are you all planning to plant?
Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope your morning/afternoon/evening is extra cozy and delightful. Until our paths cross again!
