Club Sheba

Good Afternoon Sheba, how are you doing? I will be sure to show him your Birthday wishes. He called me not to long ago and said he was on his way home from work. I just finished making him a Birthday dinner. Made him a chickpea and red Lentils flour ravioli. It wasn’t easy, the dough is hard to work with but I did it. Don’t know if its something I want to repeat. I made a mini cheese cake yesterday and today I am going to finish it off with a berry topping which I didn’t get to do yesterday. Take care Sheba.

@oodiebom,

Such good news. 💕Get some rest and let me know how the Fish and Chips turn out. ✨

Glad no more home visits.

Relaxing at Home

If you can’t get away on a vacation, turn your home into an instant vacation place.

Throughout our lives, most of us are led to believe that relaxation is best pursued outside of the home. As a result, we spend months anticipating weeklong vacations, seldom fully appreciating the leisure time we are blessed with on a more regular basis. It is possible, however, to reexperience the same utterly relaxed state you slip into while on holiday within your home’s walls. The feelings of serenity you enjoy during a vacation are a product of your outlook rather than your locale. You give yourself permission to enjoy yourself and unwind while on vacation. Granting yourself the same privilege while at home allows you to experience complete relaxation, even when surrounded by routine.

Our homes can be distracting places as most survival tasks are addressed there. Reviving the tranquility you felt on holiday is as easy as creating an atmosphere that helps you relax. First, divest yourself of the notion that messes must be cleaned up immediately and reaffirm that relaxation is as vital as physical nourishment. Then, set the mood. Music that reminds you of a beloved vacation destination can put you in a vacation mind-set. The exotic flavor of a tropical beverage or the spiciness a favorite ethnic dish can transport you to a more restful mental space. Finally, put aside your projects and commit to doing only what you consider truly pleasurable. Your responsibilities will wait as you put up your feet and revel in peacefulness that comes from within.

If you find it difficult to ignore the temptation to simply fall back into your usual schedule, consider that relaxation should occupy a prominent place on your to-do list. You deserve to take “you time” and to care for yourself, even during life’s busy periods. While you may not always be able to get away from it all, you can still nurture yourself and regain your peace of mind. ✨😎Amen!

We just returned from the doctor’s appointment. So glad that he is doing away with the physical therapist and visiting nurse. Won’t have to answer the knock at the door or a phone call from the therapist. Instead he is ordering physical therapy three times per week at the place hubby visited for the orthopedist. Yes, hubby can drive again but it is limited. He mentioned just around the block or in our neighborhood. No long distance driving until after the first of the year, and then that will depend upon the weather. Our next appointment is after Turkey Day. Oh yes, he will be sending me to an allergist who is also an Ear Nose and Throat physician. They will contact me for an appointment. The doctor was quite impressed that hubby was walking with a cane. No walker. No wheelchair. He has come a long way since July. I am impressed.

Going to rest up a bit. Need to stop at Aldi’s and the Farmer’s Market. Farmer’s Market has snapper on sale along with flounder @ $6.99/lb. Both are specials. Now I will make my own version of fish and chips using the air fryer.
