Yes, I did the recycle today. I mean yesterday. Not enough for the garbage collection. I will do that on Monday. I did make a stop at Costco. Picked up a couple of their small coolers which also come with an ice pak and a container. This will fit nicely into the cart. Hubby wants ice cream and this will serve that purpose. I think I spent over 3 hours in the warehouse. Gosh, time sure flies when you are having fun. Also filled the gas tank. Gas at Costco was $3.13/gal.. On my way to the Rehab, the gas stations were $3.11. On my way home gas was $3.45. YIKES, what a difference.

Hubby is now able to sit up by himself and dangle his feet over the edge of the bed. His dementia seems only to flair when his sugar is low. Now I wonder if I hit on something as to a cause. Something to think about. Yes, I brought hubby a hotdog and soda. I use empty plastic water bottles for the soda so it does not spill. I ordered a Caesar salad instead. Enough left over for two meals.

Sorry you had to hear my tirade on Tropicana, I did need to vent. However, what I wrote is absolutely true. The aroma coming from the plant is really bad. What I didn’t say, is that the oranges, I mean the juice, sits on a shelf for approximately six months before it is sent to the markets. Hubby used to drink this like it was going out of style. According to the urologist, it’s the one thing that can hurt both the bladder and the kidneys. Of course it isn’t only the orange juice, it’s also all citrus fruits whether fresh, concentrate or juice on the shelf.

With hubby being able to sit up by himself, means I won’t be straining the back muscles. It will just be a helpful maneuver either to a wheelchair or the walker. I think he realized this seeing me bent over because of my back. Cannot wait to get him home.

Today, I need to make quite a few stops. Dollar and a Quarter Tree, Aldi’s and Lowes. I saw a couple of plants at Lowes that will attract both a butterfly and hummingbird. It just seems that there aren’t enough hours in a day to do everything.

Unlike xango, we have seen no rain. Very muggy tonight. Humidity is over 86%, We have had the clouds, but nothing happens. Have a great Friday. Will get Trivia started a bit early. Hope to be home to joun everyone at a secent time. I really do not enjoy driving alone late at night..

Dancing Queen
Song by ABBA

Ooh
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
You’re a teaser, you turn ’em on
Leave ’em burning and then you’re gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Digging the dancing queen

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening. ✨🌹

Sit back and enjoy the Games they are interesting. 😎✨We have some nice homes in
the Mountains of Colorado I love going up there in the winter. 🌹✨

As soon as I am back on my feet I am going to hit the road and never look back.

I love the Peach Color it’s warm yet still full of color. Glad you girls had a good time. 🌹

Enjoy the games and have a great night. I am going for a nice Perlier Shower. I do hope we
get just a bit of rain. ✨🌹

@xango,

Oz is alright today we had some rain and may have a bit more tonight I hope so. 😎✨

Hey I had a Egg Spinach Pita from Starbucks I had errands to do and had to pick up
things for Poppy. My boy is going to get groomed on Saturday. Poppy is beautiful getting
all spiffy. 😘🌹

It feels good to get out and about especially with all I have been through. ✨

I will not look back and I am moving it forward. It’s life that is all I can say.

I will have labs done next week and a six month planned visit to my Primary Care Physician
This is one appointment I want over one and done especially after Covid-19 I want to make
sure everything is alright. My faith will get me there. ✨

I wish I could have fresh bread and coffee with you and I know it will be great. Hey turn on
the A/C ours is on I have it on a setting that I don’t have to change too often.

I love your spices that takes talent to grow them properly. I am going to take a Perlier Shower
I have the huge black gallon of the honey. My skin feels like a baby because as part of my
diet I use Andrew Lessman’s Phytoceramides love this and many in the HSN Community use
this supplement. I have used it for over seven years all I do is put on a moisture after my shower
and I am good to go.

Hey enjoy your evening✨🌹 We had a Salmon and Salad for dinner we sat on our patio.
Sending good night vibes. 😘 Xango some parts of Kansas were affect by the fires for a few days but not like
New York City or Washington. Thank god and I will be glad when this is over the fire and people safe back in their homes.

Great job last night!✨👍✨👍 Sure hope it continues. Hockey game tonight – I like both teams but I hope Florida wins to make it competitive and the finals last a little longer.

Gorgeous flowers, love the peach tones. Went with mom and sis today and I got a peach color on my toes.💅 Wanted a light summer color. Last time I got a light purple/lilac for spring and my husband said it looked like I had a disease on my toes, lol!😂

Nothing planned for tomorrow, hoping to stay home one day this week. Need to catch up on laundry/cleaning/mail. I’m sure hubs will hit the golf course or range.🏌️‍♂️ The cabin in Minnesota sounds wonderful. With your big family, you have many great places to visit.

You and Poppy have a relaxing evening, hugs back to you both.🤗💖

Hello Sheba, how are all those projects coming along today?
We have a bit of a large down pour but only for a moment. Didn’t last long, must of been a cloud passing by. I’ll take it, at least the plants got a drink of water.

I just finished making hubby a spinach omelet. Farm fresh eggs the Yolks are so orange and vibrant. Sautéed a little onion, then the spinach and garlic. Two eggs, a splash of milk, a pinch of oregano, thyme, Rosemary, salt and saffron.
I just had me some afternoon coffee, which is rare for me. I usually have only one cup of coffee a day. But I felt like having some coffee and bread. Later I might heat me something for a late dinner.
It’s hot here, 87 out there right now and it’s 6:30PM. How is your air quality, have your area been affected by the fires in Canada?

Take care Sheba 🌹 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Self-Determination

Before making a decision, release your fear of making the wrong one.

Our lives are defined by the decisions we make each day. When we choose one option over another, whether we are selecting a restaurant or considering a cross-country move, we shape our lives. The decision-making process can be empowering, allowing us to enjoy the benefits of self-determination. Yet it can also be a source of anxiety because decisions force us to face the possibility of dissatisfaction and inner conflict. As a result, many of us avoid making decisions by allowing others to make them for us. We consequently turn our power over to spouses, relatives, friends, and colleagues, granting them the stewardship of our lives that should be ours. Though the decisions we must make are often difficult, we grow more self-sufficient and secure each time we trust ourselves enough to choose.

Ultimately, only you can know how the different options impact your daily life and your long-term well-being. You have the power to competently weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each selection. Even if you feel incapable of making a decision, your inner wisdom and intuitive mind will give you sound counsel if you have faith in yourself. Try to come to your own conclusions before seeking the guidance of others, and even then, treat their suggestions as supplementary information rather than votes to be tallied. Before making your choice, release your fear of making the wrong one. Perceived mistakes can lead you down wonderful and unexpected paths that expose you to life-changing insights. If you can let go of the notion that certain choices are utterly right while others are entirely wrong, you will be less tempted to invite others to take the reins of your destiny.

When your choices are your own, you will be more likely to accept and be satisfied with the outcome of those choices. Your decisions will be a pure reflection of your desires, your creativity, your awareness, and your power. Since you understand that you must live with and take responsibility for your decisions, you will likely exercise great care when coming to conclusions. As you learn to make informed and autonomous choices, you will gain the freedom to consciously direct the flow of your life without interference. AMEN! ✨✨

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten sending you a Thursday hug and I pray all is well with you and the family. ✨
