Managing Life with Grace and Ease….or Maybe NOT!

Here it is. Our getting ready for our Texas trip and traveling with the doggies. There is something I found in George’s car too! What was it? LOL

I hope you enjoy it. Many hours spent putting it together. A little more than normal I think when it was all said and done. The decision to add the tips in and share those, took some extra film time and editing. But I figure the lessons we learn along the way are worth the share. Live and Learn right?

I’m so excited to get this one out. We have been busy since back from Texas but a lot of things are calming down and we are catching up.

Other Updates

The work week is almost done and we are staring down at our 3 day weekend. We DO have some plans here and there.

My muscles have been weird this last week. I’m not sure what is going on. It’s like I have to really exert myself to make myself move. So I’m going to have to try to increase protein, eliminate the sugar, eliminate the carbs, up the greens, and up the fruits. It’s always a challenge and a battle to eat right. Exercising will help the muscles stay elastic too, I think. It might be time to try that Senior Tai Chi You Tube channel that my friend Christie sent me. And today I began having a splitting headache in my left temple. I really believe it is from chewing gum, believe it or not. I had quit but picked it back up again due to the stress of catching up on things after vacation. It’s just a stress buster for me and an anxiety release. I will have to work on that too. I’ve had these headaches before and if I quit chomping on the gum they stop. My muscles have been weird for a long time and when I eat right they improve. It’s just so hard to eat right all the time. Add to it sleep deficits by the end of the work week and I’m exhausted and ready for Friday. I had a shake today from the nutrition company I use. It helped a lot. I just have been tired of having them every morning but they always helped me with muscles and energy. I had Vanilla Chai Whey based this morning and it was very tasty. A new organic formula they have. I’m such a rebel though. I like to do things my own way. I have always been one to like variety and choice.

Today at work, I will say I really just wanted to come home, lay in bed, close my eyes and just sleep and sleep. But instead I grabbed the coffee and pointed the fan in my face and kept going. I did go to Logan’s mid day for a treat. I’ve been craving a fried chicken salad with honey mustard dressing. I rarely have cravings or much of an appetite for anything special anymore so when I do – I go for it. Yeah I know. That’s a downfall. This did not help my healthy notions ONE bit. But I did enjoy every bite with a smile. So there is that.

Home now, glass of wine in hand and about to go take an acetaminophen I think, maybe stretch out and rest. But what I really want to do is watch the latest videos out there that I keep up with. That is always so relaxing. Ya’ll have a great HOLIDAY weekend. May we all get some rest and have a little bit of fun.

I will ask if you watch the video – on YouTube, give me a like and subscribe if you like the videos. I’m trying to reach 100 subscribers – some day I’ll get there. I’m just starting out and having fun but it is always uplifting to get thumbs up on YouTube and subscribers and comments and the like. I know I’m on a learning curve and that is ok. Like I said – for me it’s about having fun, improving, getting better, and hopefully providing some level of value and entertainment. Even if it’s only for a few, lol. But I would appreciate the love if you like it all. You do have to have a sign on to comment in YouTube. It’s free, Just IGNORE the upgrade they try to get you to do. It’s like any other thing – just requires email and password and probably your name. Very basic.

Thanks so much for your support always. I have to laugh at the pic below..this is NOT me. But oh my gosh it sooooooooo could be! I like the laptop, the after shower effect. Are her feet dirty or is that just a shadow? Just happened to notice that. The bed looks super comfy and those under eye treatments, I would love to have some of those. I don’t know that I have ever worn pants with a robe but if you are sitting Indian style and having your photo taken (or the laptop pointing at ya- ya never know) it is necessary in today’s world. Regardless, she looks peaceful and comfortable and that’s really all we can ask for right about now! Huh?

    Hi Sonya, hadn’t realized you had a long weekend. So pleased for you you can catch up with some rest. Will be good to see what your planning to do…it’s not a holiday weekend here, that was last weekend for us. But as I don’t work it dosn’t make a lot of difference to me. I have just booked a four day break towards the end of the month. Going to The Isle of Wight a small island off the south coast of England Peter will be coming with us to drive as he knows I can’t drive so far. We have to get a ferry over from the mainland. Just keeping my fingers crossed this blasted virus won’t rear its ugly head before we go over….take care. I’m going now to watch the video…

      Go to you tube directly- I know YouTube seems to make it hard to comment when it’s embedded in another app. I’ve seen that myself trying to comment on others. I wish they would make it easier

    Great video!! I definitely would watch your show. 😋
    You did a good job on George’s hair.
    I tell my husband that he gets what he pays for. lol
    The doggies are just precious. I love those 2 fur babies.
    The cooking segments are nice. You can tell your husband is a natural & very comfortable in the kitchen.
    I’m late in watching but I’ve been recuperating from life.
    I feel Autumn in my future so I’m in a good place.
    I hope you take the time to enjoy the longgg weekend.

      Awww bless his heart. Cats just like their little world. They like to explore but don’t like to travel.
