{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 07/17/2023 }

 

 
Well, this post is going up super late, later than it's ever gone up.  In my defense, I spent my entire morning dealing with prescriptions, base hospital pharmacies and running around trying to fix something that ended up not being an issue to begin with.
 
If you know military pharmacies, you will understand, and recently ours switched to a new national system, which has just caused so much unnecessary craziness.  I am finally home, and now able to get going with our Happy Homemaker Monday.
 
You may also have noticed that I removed the Blog 365.  I think it's pointless to try and keep going for me, I have fallen behind about 3 weeks now, and don't have the time to go back and fill in for each day.  I'm slightly annoyed with myself over this, but I did tell myself from the get go that it may not work, and if it doesn't, not to get upset about it.  So I'll call it a good effort!
 
Anyway, without further delay, let's get this post up.
 
Hope you're all having a wonderful Monday!

📚💖 I enjoyed reading your blog post. It seems we all struggle with things that sometimes don't work out, hinder us, or disappoint us. Sending lots of love from the Netherlands. It's finally a bit cooler here. ☀️😎 I wish I could bring you some cooler weather, but it's not going to work out. Maybe a foot bath would help. 🌊💦

It's okay if we don't always do *all* the things, my friend! We're only human after all.

Having just gone through prescription issues along the same lines and the same reasons I FEEL your pain! And you're right IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE TO BEGIN WITH!!!!! I hope you don't have any black outs with the extreme heat and that it cools off soon. There's always next year for the BLOG 365 idea. The one thing in life we know for certain is that we need to be flexible. Have a wonderful week my friend.

I think a lot of us posted more than we would have if not for your Blog 365 idea but life tends to get in the way sometimes. Glad you aren't getting too upset that it didn't work out. Maybe it could be modified to simply blog 65? Sixty five days in a less busy season? I don't know. Sorry you are still getting the awful heat. Hope it cools down a bit soon and you have a great rest of your week!

Glad you got your pharmacy issues figured out. Changes can be a struggle with some businesses. Have a great week.

It's been insanely hot and humid here too. And rain. So much rain!

I always am inspired by your menu plans. Thanks for hosting!

Daniela said...

My dear Sandra, Jean is absolutely right. I am one of the people whose life you changed through your idea of Blog365. Tomorrow will be the 200th day and I already have 281 posts since the beginning of the year so far. Do you know how many posts I had in the year 2022? 53! I've practically resumed blogging thanks to you and the Blog 365 challenge. Thank you so much!

Daniela said...

Besides, thanks to you and this challenge, I met people from all over the world.
What I regret is that I don't get to comment more often; this is also because of the English language barrier. But, I'm working on it! :))) I've been learning English every day for exactly... 336 days.

Blessings to you and it is alright to be human after all we are, aren't we? I get into trouble when I strive to be super human. Can't do it anymore.

We missed you earlier. But life happens and you move on. The weather is all anyone is talking about now and we are praying for rain this weekend. Everything is so dry. Have a great week 😀
