Simple woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY

* Outside my window…the weather is high clouds, fluffy and light. Bright sky and sunshine poking through. I'm sure the day is gorgeous.
* I am thinking… today I feel pretty discouraged. But I shouldn't hide that I have these days because, well, flaring as bad as I am is apart of my life with chronic illness. And I need people to understand this is my struggle.
* I am thankful that I have good days, and that I had so many last week when I had so much I needed to get done.
* From the learning rooms… Kevin and I studied about the star convergence that happened at the time of Christ's birth, and then got distracted by many other topics. Personally I'm still working in 1 Samuel.
* From the kitchen… I think I'm taking a break from the kitchen today. Yesterday's special Valentine's day dinner was grilled asparagus, baked yellow potatoes, spinach salad, steak, and brownie cheesecake for desert. I got the recipe idea from Kraft, but what I ended up doing was baking a box of Girradelli chocolate brownies, and then making a no bake cheesecake filling that I spread on top. It turned out REALLY good! I'm going to repeat this soon for fellowship meal at church sometime soon.
* I am wearing…Pajamas as I'm mostly staying in bed today. My legs are very sore and weak so I'm not going to do much today.
* I am creating… I really should work more on my book I'm trying to write, but I haven't really gotten back into that yet. It's a good thing I'm not writing for a publisher, I just couldn't write under a deadline, the creativity doesn't flow out of me that way. Yesterday I made a handmade Valentine's day card for my hubby using a bunch of my scrapbook supplies. It was fun. I just couldn't find a card in the store that said what I wanted it to say, so I made one myself.
* I am going…to just take things easy for a while, I did too much last week and now my body is causing me problems. So I'm not planning anything until I feel my energy return.
* I am reading… Never Say Never (Kindle Edition) by Lisa Wingate, I got it when it was a freebie on Amazon. I love getting free kindle books on my iPhone.
* I am hoping…that things go well for my hubby at his dentist appointment today.
* I am hearing… the whirl of the humidifier, and an otherwise quiet house. The silence is a little bothersome, I think I'm going to turn on some music now that I'm thinking about it.
* Around the house… is much to do, but it'll have to wait.
* One of my favorite things… having a completely stocked kitchen, another is big savings on my grocery bill! Saturday we went shopping and BOTH happened! We spent just over $100, got everything off our shopping list, AND we saved about $50 bucks between store deals and coupons!
* A few plans for the rest of the week: schedule doctor appointments and make plans to go on a vacation to surprise a loved one in a few weeks!
