Sometimes I'm Brain Dead - Time to Charge the Cell Phone

I was obviously brain dead (and probably very tired) last night when I went to bed. I forgot to plug in my phone for recharging, so when I awakened I had 12% charge. That's not going to cut it, so I'm charging now, and I'll meditate later in the day. It's inconvenient, and I love to meditate first thing in the morning, but I can't always have things the way I "want" them, sometimes I just have to go with the flow (and my own stupidity). 

I really hate it when I forget to plug my phone in 
overnight. I had 12% power when I awoke this 
morning - not enough for meditation and my other 
online tasks that I do first thing. So I'll push that 
all off until later today. It'll be a bit unexpected to 
meditate in mid-day, but it's not a bad thing - just 
messes with my schedule a bit. 

Isn't that the case every now and again? The best schedules, the best plans, and everything just hits the fan and needs a total re-do? Today is a bit of a re-do anyway - Aearwen has a conflict so we'll be missing our weekly chat later today, and I'm trying to think of some things to cook today - I'm usually pretty together on what to cook for my upcoming meals for a few days, but not today. I might take advantage of the fact that I'll meditate later in the day for a change, and look up some vegetable soup recipes. I really feel like a good soup. Yum! 

I'm in the mood for a nice vegetable soup for dinner, but I 
don't have a favorite recipe to use. So I downloaded and 
printed several that seemed good, I'm going to look them over, 
probably combine them, and end up with a nice variety of 
veggies from the store. I don't do some of the standards - no 
potatoes, corn or peas for me. But I do have a great love 
for veggies, so I'm sure I'll find ones that will cook up 
wonderfully. 

To my dear friend in New Jersey, thank you! I received your check (and Pippin's Milk-Bone contribution) in yesterday's mail. Thank you SO much for helping me bring some joy into the heart of my trivet elder. I know she's so very grateful, and I can hardly wait until she feels good enough to come by and pick it up. I'm blessed with amazing friends, and have been doubly blessed to be able to share my friends' generosity with an elder. (I'll ignore the fact that I think myself as well as many of my on-line friends probably fit into that "elder" category - LOL.) 

I really hate it when I forget to charge my cell phone. It 
totally throws me off my schedule. I'll have the time 
today to deal with it, but I prefer to meditate and do a 
certain morning routine to get my day started, and without 
my phone, that's pushed off until later. I'm already at almost 
50% though, so it's powering up again quickly. 

I think I'm going to end this here, though. I have plenty of time to chat, but I want to see if I can find a good recipe for a hearty vegetable soup. I'm in a soup mood, but I want my protein to be on the side this time, instead of in the soup, and I don't feel like making my tomato and roasted pepper soup again since I had it within the past couple of weeks. So ... time to hunt up a new recipe - what fun! Have an excellent Wednesday and I'll be back tomorrow - hopefully with a charged phone and a more regular schedule. Slava Ukraini and חיים למען ישראל.
