This is hot! At 10 pm, it was 90F. That is amazing. We stay in so we are not hot or suffering from any health issues from the heat. I feel so sorry for people not so fortunate.
It was after 8 am before I could sleep. So, slept about five hours. However, I do not feel as awful as other days. I lay down for 20 minutes this evening before dinner was ready and went straight to sleep. I had told Tommy to wake me in 20 minutes, so he did. Otherwise, I would have slept for hours and then could not sleep again tonight. (the short nap was about 9, so did not need to sleep two hours.)
Tommy peeled potatoes. I cut out eyes and halved them. We put a turkey tender in a bag with potatoes, baby carrots, young carrots, and an onion. The young carrots were small not baby carrots. Well, they were baby carrots but not the kind made for snacking. We baked some of those, too. The young carrots were purple, yellow, and orange. Edit: I forgot to put Brussels sprouts in the bag.
Tommy is very happy when we have potatoes! He is eager to peel them. I did have a bit of potato, but I eat mine cold.
No matter what we cannot do, we manage to cook, clean up dishes and kitchen. We try to have healthy meals and snacks and try not to buy prepared snacks often. My snack tonight was a glass of chocolate milk with a banana mashed in it. Then, I ate a few unsalted peanuts.
My only other meal today was a chicken sandwich with cheese and MW on keto bread. Even if I stay awake all night, I never eat.
I worry about the destruction of the Pfizer plant by a tornado in NC. Pending shortages sound dire.
Every day, I take at least one thing from the kitchen counter and put it where it goes or toss it. I know this is not the way decluttering is supposed to be done, but this is the way it is happening. There is a space about two feet long or longer and front of the counter to the wall that is stacked. It is not to be thrown out, just organized elsewhere. I have no idea how all this has been the resting place for canning rings and flats and other things. And, I am solving that problem, one little thing at a time.
I even decided to get rid of 6 boxes of granola cereal. It has 46 carbs and 3 grams of fiber. I am keeping one box and giving away 6. So there. It is delicious, however.
The Barbie movie is on my list of things to do! We will wait for a few weeks to avoid crowds. Of course, I will wear the hot pink shoes I bought last September. When Tommy went in to Belk's to return something to me, I just happened to mention Barbiecore. He said in every dept on at least one counter there were displays of pink items. That is when I told him about Barbiecore and the movie. We have not been to a movie since 2019.
Do you have a particular spot, like the place on the counter, that seems to get cluttered faster than other places?
Are you going to see the Barbie movie?
Have you ever had purple carrots?
