Ok I should probably go to sleep. Please remember to take your meds and drink some water. May your Saturday bring calm and safety. Panda ants you to know he saved you a spot on the window seat with him if you want to snuggle. Goodnight and Aloha🌺

Dinner tonight is mustard parm chicken & garlic sautéed zucchini on a bed of creamy polenta with a red sauce on the side. Slowly getting back to cooking. I always forget how tasty and easy the chicken is, it just so yummy both hot from the oven and cold the next day. Not the pretties but 😋 CW: food

Normally either a French braid, or a twisting braid across the front of my hair to catch up all loose bits then put up in a twist in the back. I have these old Goodies ouchless hair clip things that are super soft & don’t hurt to sleep in & can hold all my hair. Sadly they don’t make them anymore.

Whoohoo!!! The air quality is all green, it is under 70 degrees, so open goes the windows and off goes the AC! My room is now 74, so hopefully sleepy time. Please remember to take your meds and drink some water. Panda is here for company. May your Thursday bring relief and cool. Goodnight and Aloha🌺

Well was having trouble rallying to cook dinner, nothing sounded good, and then remembered the earlier discussion here about comfort food… boom blueberry pancakes and plain for those in the household who don’t like blueberries. Yup simple and comforting. CW: Food

Had a super fun afternoon and evening with Sis and her family. We had a proper cook out using the firepit, there was swimming, and then there was of course the flag cake I whipped up last minute from scratch! For something only planned yesterday, it was a wonderful day!
