had wonton soup for supper…

seemed like just the thing as I haven’t felt particularly hungry…

I’ve been eating yellow peppers and vitamin C throughout the day in an effort to stop a cold from giving me grief…

the only thing I’ve been feeling is tired… I slept for eight hours straight overnight, which is not my usual pattern, and was still tired all day…

made mashed potatoes for tomorrow’s supper to go along with a roasted chicken and some type of salad…

then took a few naps and read a bit…

a quiet and restful day…

napping…

had quite the day on Wednesday…

I was dropped off by a friend for a doctor’s appointment and got my 2nd Covid booster…

my grandson picked me up and we ended up with subs for lunch…

we traded vehicles again, so he took back his motorcycle and left me with the car…

spent time in the garden while the house was getting cleaned…

put away the cushions and went in for a nap… slept through a thunderstorm and woke up to a soaking wet garden…

it occurred to me how tired I was when I spent five minutes after napping reaching around for my glasses before realizing I had my contacts in…

realized that I’d left my camera and book on the table on the back deck… and they were both soaked…

once I brought the camera and book in, I set them on towels to dry… the book did fairly well, but when I turned the camera on it was like looking through fog…

I used a baggie and the last of my rice to cover the camera and left it to sit for a few days…

this morning I removed it from the bag and was thrilled to see that there was no more fog… yay…

lethargy…

been so tired lately…

not sure what the deal is, but I arrive home and have a nap before I make supper, and then sleep through the evening before going to bed…

had a conversation recently with someone who appears to be struggling with a similar lethargy…

not sure if it is the weather, time of year or what, but I sure hope it sorts itself out soon;-(…

cake…

could barely drag myself out of bed this morning… was so tired… 

really finding that I need that one do nothing day in the weekend to recover from the week…

cooked a small roast and baked a potato which gave me an hour to rest when I got home… finished off with a lettuce salad… good thing it was easy because I am still tired…

two of my Monday night friends came by and one brought a delicious bit of cake for us to try… chocolate with a lemon sauce and some whipping cream…

I licked my plate…

apparently I looked so bad they only stayed for a little while so I could get to bed, lol… I was cold and had to dig out a warm jacket… the others thought it was warm in the house…

hoping that a good night’s sleep will fix me up… really don’t have time to be sick…

food…

big girl pants, blood sugar, eating, food, tired

been doing very well with my blood sugar levels…

getting up and eating breakfast before leaving the house is difficult… I have to do it because I can’t take my pills with water, so have to take them with breakfast as that is when I have to take my levels…

also finding the time to gather items for a proper lunch and snack for the rest of the work day takes a bit of time too…

it is going to be important to have lots of choices available in the fridge and to plan for supper before I leave in the morning, or organize that the night before…

last night, when I tasted the apple pie, it was very sweet… funny that in one week my taste buds have changed…

shrimp, wild rice, mushrooms, kale and broccoli salad...

shrimp, wild rice, mushrooms, kale and broccoli salad…

hope that soon I will feel less tired… still having trouble finding things to drink as I cannot use any type of sweetener at this point… at work I’ve been having water with lemon in it, but by the time I get home I am kind of done with that…

George would be proud of me for wearing these big girl pants, even when I don’t want to, lol…

tired…

crocus, exhausted, flowers, hyacinth, Olympics, tired

first thing got a great shot of the moon with a star or planet off to the side…

lovely view to start the day… and it is lighter in the morning…

not sure if it is let down following the Olympics or just too much extreme cold over this winter but nearly everyone I talk with is exhausted…

people are walking around yawning or their brains don’t seem to be working up-to-par…

thank goodness for the flowers at work and home…

every time I see the crocus and hyacinth they appear to be growing right in front of my eyes… and they make me happy…

the hyacinth is starting to smell so nice…
