Good morning friends, welcome back.
I hope you are all doing well after this beautiful birthday weekend. Did you do anything fun?
My family and I actually went to Dallas for a Portugal fan meet up, it was so much fun. It took place at a local sports bar, we took over the rooftop and just had an amazing time with all the Portuguese fans. Makes me think that we need to do more fun things like this in the future.
However, I am not used to drinking anymore, not since I went healthy two years ago, and after just one beer and one cocktail, I am sorely paying for it today. Oh well.
I hope you all have a blessed week, try to stay cool if you are in an area much like mine that is already into the triple digits and high humidity.

*** Right now I am ***
Just had two pieces of toast to calm my stomach. I am now trying to get this post up as quick as I can because I feel so nauseous.
*** Thinking and pondering ***
On how we take life for granted, we can often go years where all we do is work, work and work without doing anything fun. Yesterday reminded me that we need to take more time to spend with family, to have fun, to go do unplanned things.
*** How I am feeling ***
Sick, have spent all night in the bathroom. The alcohol just destroyed my stomach. Lesson learned.
*** On the breakfast plate ***
Just two pieces of toast.
*** On the lunch plate ***
Not sure I'll be able to eat anything, but I do want to boil some chicken to make some chicken soup for me, so may have that for lunch.
*** On the dinner plate ***
We had a barbecue on Saturday and have a ton of leftovers, so that's what we will have today. I will probably make some sort of side, but there are plenty of hamburgers and hotdogs, bratwurst and even some pork chops.
*** On the menu ***
Monday - Leftover barbecue
Tuesday - Creamy Oregano Chicken, Egg Noodles, Salad
Wednesday - Hot Sesame Pork, Rice, Egg Rolls
Thursday - Turkey Meatballs, Spaghetti, Garlic Bread and Salad
Friday - Homemade Pizza
Saturday - Fend for yourself
Sunday - Islak Burgers, Sweet Potato Fries
*** What I am wearing ***
Grey summer nightie, will pop on a summer dress later.
*** On my reading pile ***
I am now in Judges in the Bible.
I'm a mood reader so sometimes I will pick a book that I think I want to read and then set it aside, that is what happened with Kristin Lavransdatter by Singrid Undset. It is a mammoth of a book and I really don't want to get into it right now. It's too hot for that. Does that even make sense?
Anyway, I ended up reading The hope of Azure Springs by Rachel Fordham and loved it. Read it in a day. I love her easy writing style and the story was so sweet. I need to get more by this author.
Next I will be starting Heart of Stone ( Irish Angel series book 1) by Jill Marie Landis.

*** Looking around the house ***
I do need to give it the usual Monday morning clean, but with the way I am feeling today, I am not sure how much I'll get to. I may just do the absolute minimum necessary, or I may do what I need to but do it slowly.
I have zero patience for being sick of any kind, it frustrates me so much.
*** To do list ***
Water inside plants
Water plants and veggies outside on the patio
Daily bible reading and devotional/bible study
Daily 15k steps

Gave the entryway a first coat, but need to do the second coat this week.

*** What I am creating ***
Finished all the flowers and am now starting the lacey part of the pattern.
*** From the camera ***
Had to snap a picture with Ronaldo. By the way, these cutouts are their actual size, he is quite tall.
*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses ***
My prayers are going up for all the victims in the Venezuela Earthquakes. I am in awe of God's miracles as we continue to see people being pulled alive from the rubble.
