Jim Has a Birthday

 Our weekend was lazy.  Didn't go anywhere on Saturday.  I did some chores around the house.  Laundry is always a big deal and I managed to strip the bed and remake it.

Sunday the birthday boy turned 84.  Most of the day was spent quietly.  We had some much needed rain roll through with a bit of thunder and a tornado watch.  Sonsearae and Chris picked us up for an early dinner at Ted's.  Jim had Bison meatloaf that he really enjoyed.  I opted for Bison brisket, both came with mashed potatoes, gravy and buttered carrots.  I have leftovers. I should not have indulged but it was so tasty!

Fat Tuesday.  For years we lived in New Orleans and Mardi Gras is something to behold!  We have some King Cake and Sonsearae gifted us with red beans a Jambalaya to enjoy.  No celebrating for us. Tallahassee doesn't indulge.

Today was a normal day for us.  Jim had some lab work done, he sees his PC next week.  Meanwhile I had some 'carving' on my left ear.  Awhile back my dermatologist took a sample and it was benign but they wanted a deeper slice this time to make sure.  Right now it's quite painful and I can ice it and take Tylenol.  Sleeping is the big problem.  As you can imagine laying on this ear will be painful.  I bought a pillow with a hole in it witch will help.

Happy Valentine's Day!

 I hope this day was pleasing to you.  Take some time for yourself! It's always nice to be pampered so spread the love.

Saturday's I weigh myself and today it was 100.5, I lost half a pound.  Slept almost 9 hours.  I prefer waking up naturally and this morning was 0650

For breakfast I had about a cup of vegetable barley soup with added mushroom, chopped and topped with some microgreens.  A slice of toasted sour dough bread and my coffee

I've been growing my own microgreens and recently started sprouting seeds.  Can't get much fresher!

Four ounces of orange juice mid morning.  Lunch consisted of refried beans and way to much meat and cheese, leftovers from a Mexican meal out the other day.  a Cutie orange

Took a wee nap

Afternoon coffee and two 'cream' puffs.  The sun went away and the furnace came on😞 It's been nice so the furnace hasn't been running a lot

For dinner I had some leftover pasta and I sliced some mushrooms into it...tasty!  also had some sourdough bread and I had a chocolate truffle.  it is Valentines day

Not sure I've mentioned it, but I always have water within reach and drink several glasses a day.  My evening snack was celery sticks
