Good morning, happy Monday!
I have had a week of just stress and frustration and really wish my weekend had been longer, but alas, here we are. Monday!!! A start of a new week and hopefully a better week for us all.
Let's see what is happening around our homes.

*** The Weather ***
It's been disgusting, and I was all excited because on my phone it showed this coming week we would be in the 90s. That happiness was short lived because it's now showing triple digits again. Lord help us!
*** Right now I am ***
At my desk working on this post, also talking through Whatsapp with my stepmom and my niece.
*** Thinking and pondering ***
Just things that I want to get done this week, blog posts, sewing and crafting and getting ready for Fall. I am just going to remove all thoughts of heat and summer and pretend it's cooler temperatures. Fool that I am!
*** How I am feeling ***
Tired. Last week as I said, was a bit stressful for Jasmine. She had a few things going on, it feels like the enemy is directing an onslaught against her and as parents, it's sad to see and know that we can't do anything.
She had a situation on Tuesday, and then Friday morning woke up with ear pain in her left ear, and a horrible vertigo attack that came and went for hours. I ended up taking her to urgent care, and it turns out she has fluid in that ear. She was prescribed some medication and is starting to feel better, the spinning and vertigo has stopped but she still feels a bit light headed and dizzy.
*** On the breakfast plate ***
I just had a cup of coffee and a bowl of oatmeal.
*** On the lunch plate ***
Not sure yet, but will probably be a tuna salad.
*** On the dinner plate ***
Skillet Sausage and Potatoes, Salad
*** On the menu ***
Monday - Skillet Sausage and Potatoes, Okra and Tomatoes
Tuesday - Cowboy Lasagna, Salad
Wednesday - Shrimp Fajitas, Mexican Rice, Beans
Thursday - Pork Tenderloin, Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Broccoli
Friday - Homemade Pizza
Saturday - Baked Ziti with Sausage, Garlic Bread, Salad
Sunday - Turkey Burgers, Potato Wedges, Sauteed Cabbage
*** What I am wearing ***
Still in my nightgown and will change into a dress later.
*** On my reading pile ***
I am reading in 1 samuel in the Bible.
My next read will be All the Forgiveness by Elizabeth Hardinger.

*** Looking around the house ***
I have to do the usual Monday cleaning. I would love to have my windows and patio door open but this heat does not allow that. I just feel that the house is stuffy and needs some fresh air, so I'm going to open everything up this morning for at least 30 minutes.
*** To do list ***
Water inside plants
Water plants and veggies outside on the patio
Daily bible reading and devotional/bible study
Daily 15k steps
Homemaking chores
Pay bills
Make bread for the week
Carpet clean
*** What I am creating ***
I have been looking up some crochet fall potholders that I want to make. Will start looking through my yarn and seeing if I have the colors I need. Something like this below, and if you have any patterns or ideas for Fall inspired potholders please send them my way.
*** From the camera ***

*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses ***
Isaiah 40:31: "Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
I hope you'll feel better soon. And your daughter.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here has turned tropical again.
Wanted to do things outside, but it's too hot. Almost 40 celsius in the garden.
The neighbours now have airconditioning, and we have the noise.
I hope for all of us the weather normalises soon.
Have a quiet day!!
Glad Jasmine is on the mend. Hope your hot temperatures ease up. I am sooo tired of the hot temperatures too... ugg... can't wait for Fall. Have a good week
ReplyDeleteDearest Sandra,
ReplyDeleteHow could we feel fresh, relaxed and not tired after such a hot summer!
And still hot days await us here in Italy too, alas, I can't stand this heat anymore.
In the hope that your Jasmine is doing better and better, I wish you a blessed new week, with utmost thankfulness for hosting and for always sharing a part of your weekly life with us
