So what’s new?
Today was one of those days that I can safely say, not much.
Oh, I did the usual three meals, and the cleaning up of them. I fed the dogs and walked them when they told me it was time, but for whatever reason, I just didn’t feel like doing much.
It could be the headache I have had most of the day, or perhaps the hot-flash that started at 1 AM and lasted until nearly 5 AM. Oh I just love menopause! (She says, words dripping with sarcasm.)
Last night before bed I was watching reruns on the tube when I noticed that the three dachshunds Amigos all smelled extremely foul. So there I was in the shower with three stinky fur children, at 7:30 last night, giving them all baths. Thank goodness I did, as they all decided to cuddle up to me last night in bed. (Yes, this did make the hot-flash much, well, flashier!)
I guess everyone needs one of those days once in a while. A day when you just lay low and chill out.
I must note here that the day was not a total loss. I found my first eggplants on the Japanese Eggplant plant (redundant, yes?), and here they are.
My tomatoes and peppers are doing well, too. We have been having afternoon rain showers that have really helped the garden. Some of our plants we have kept in large pots on the patio, and then of course we have the regular garden. That seems to be quite a bit behind the potted plants. However, I’m really pleased with the results, especially the eggplant!
Tomorrow is Weight Watchers day and perhaps a trip to the grocery store for some fresh vegetables. I think this will have been a good week weight wise, which makes me want those fresh vegetables all the more!
Mari, Mari quite contrary, how does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells.. and pretty eggplants all in a row. That is how your garden grows.
Everything looks wonderful!!!! I wish I had a garden, maybe next year!
I would say that a 4 hour HOT FLASH definitely made you deserving of a day to CHILL out! OY! Those peppers look YUMMY! (the eggplants need to grow more… but how eggciting!!!)
Your vege’s are looking great! I am glad that they are all coming along well, even if the ‘other’ garden is a bit behind, it just means that when the pots finish, that bed will be coming online!
I am with you on the menopause thing! Luckily, L is getting back to normal now that the Syneral has finished… Hopefully, good news from next Monday’s blood test!
Fortunately I never had heat waves only saw it with friends. But days like that are nice, and necessary from time to time !
A good relaxing and sometimes flashy 😉 day is always good. 🙂 I hope you have a good day today!
Hi Mom,
They finally fixed my work computer so I can log back on to your site. I needed an updated version of flash…. Just watched the Katie slideshow, and have some tears in my eyes–just can’t help it. I don’t want you to worry about me, though–not tears like that.
Congrats again on your weight loss this week. Wow–we have now lost over 80 pounds together. We Rock! (LOL).
Love you lots,
Mandy
