I'm Cold, It's Rainy, and I Wish I Could Go Back to Sleep

Yesterday was the usual mix of extremely busy followed by exhaustion. In fact, I was so exhausted, I went to bed early - something that rarely happens. The day started by my going to work to hold down the fort until DH was finished with some doctor appointments. His eyes are getting worse, but apparently there's nothing to be done about that quite yet. It's frustrating, but they want to keep a close eye on it and see him again in another six months. 

Apparently DH has the beginnings of Age 
Related Macular Degeneration. My mother had 
this and it was frightening for her. I imagine 
it is equally frightening for DH, but he's a 
guy. He won't admit to feeling fear. 

Once he finally arrived, I grabbed my stuff and left, stopping at the grocery store (for yet more vegetables - I swear, I must be turning green - LOL) and the office supply store (because apparently two times in the past two weeks wasn't enough because SOMEONE didn't tell me we were on our last roll of Scotch Tape). I got home just in time to set up for my weekly check-in Zoom call, which was wonderful because I got to see many familiar faces in the group. We're in Week 10 of WildFit now, and the gang gathering for the Zoom call have become familiar friends. We get to see their children sometimes, and their pets. All good, all fun. 

Zoom meeting have become so common now, but 
until WildFit, I never was in one. Of course, I also 
didn't have a computer with a camera. Now, with 
"VooDoo" (my new laptop) and the need to join 
with the "Tribe" on WildFit, everything clicked into 
place. I have a computer with a camera, and I have 
a need to join the weekly Zoom call. All is good. 

After the call, I started work in the kitchen. I wanted to make more frozen coconut "fat bombs". (DH had a bite of mine last night. Hated it. Said it needed sugar - the LAST thing I would ever put into it). I got 24 of the coconut treats into the freezer and started on vegetables. I made more Alkagizer, I now have enough to get me through Monday. I washed and put away the vegetables I had purchased, so they are now all ready to use. I needed to cook some veggies from earlier in the week, so I boiled green beans, sauteed mushrooms, par-boiled asparagus and roasted Brussels sprouts. By the time I actually got to eat dinner, I was beat. I hadn't had a chance to sit down all afternoon. But the kitchen looked pristine when DH walked through the door, even though I had used and washed multitudes of pans, bowls and cooking sheets. 

I happen to really love my coconut 
"fat bombs". They use coconut oil, 
coconut milk and unsweetened 
shredded coconut. Mix the ingredients 
together, pour into small muffin cups, 
and put into the freezer for an hour. Voila! 
I taste a residual sweetness from
the coconut, but DH apparently 
was unimpressed. LOL

Today should be fairly routine. It's a Saturday, it's a bit cold and rainy, so we might be busy because it's not a great day for people to work in their gardens. Or we'll be dead because Minnesotans fear melting if they get into the rain. Either way, I'm really looking forward to my Sunday, I need a day to relax from my "days off" during the week. Have an excellent day and please, be kind, stay safe and wear your mask. I'll be back on Monday.
