Worry is worshipping the problem.
Yesterday was a very great day, mom was good and so was I
which makes for the perfect combination, we laughed lots and lots, it was so
wonderful. Mom asked me about Alzheimers and dementia and we talked about how well she was doing with it.
I got myself a chicken bargain too, when I went for the
papers there was one reduced to £2.15, so when I got back I slammed it in the
slow cooker on high for about 5 hours, usually do it on low and leave longer
but I wanted to eat some for lunch. It’s
the fastest meal ever, just falls apart when you take it out. I shredded the breasts with two forks and had
a bit for dinner with a coconut and lemongrass sauce, then for tea I had some
on a sandwich with coleslaw. No fuss
food which is what you want on a hot and can’t be doing with cooking kind of
day. There’s some left, I might mix it
with the rest of the sweet and sour sauce and that’s today’s dinner sorted.
There’s a lovely light wind coming through the windows this
morning, it’s promising storms we really do need a bit of rain but then can we
have the sunshine back please.
Got a busy morning followed by another chilled out day,
hoping moms in as good a mood as she was yesterday. I’m still doing my crochet, I’m about halfway
through another blanket, my largest yet, it’ll be 11 x 10 squares and the
squares are 10 rounds so it should look amazing in the bedroom it’s meant
for. If they don’t like it though, it’ll
also look really good in my house, I never make anything I wouldn’t want to
keep myself.
That book “The science of Sin” I’m listening too isn’t as
good as I hoped, it’s a bit too science orientated for me, so far though, I’ve
done the narcissist test and I’ve learnt I’m not thankfully. If you fancy working out if you are, here’s

One of my BeYOUtiful members posted her pudding the other
day, doesn’t it look delicious, here’s how she said she made it;
Sachet of sugar free strawberry Jelly made up with chopped
strawberries, allow to set then make strawberry fluff which is another pack of
jelly...only put in half pint of boiling water then add a tub of fat free
natural yoghurt (some say to let jelly cool but I never have and it always
turns out just as it should) whisk the mixture until you see air pockets...pour
over jelly...let it set, only takes about an hour then use a pot of fat-free
Greek yoghurt (I use Aldi’s) add 2-3 tbsp sweetener and two teaspoons of almond
or vanilla essence...mix altogether and add to the top of the fluff then I
added 4grms of sugar strands on each one that's where the 1sp comes from
otherwise add fresh fruit to make it free.
This is why Weight Watchers is
great because members are always sharing their great ideas, motivating and
supporting each other whilst enjoying the journey and having a good giggle in
the meetings. Yeah I’m off to enjoy one
of those meetings this morning, love my Saturday gang, makes it worth getting
up at 5am for sure.
Now it’s almost 6am so I need to
get a wriggle on, need to get mom sorted before I leave and load my car. Real life’s great really, I like the drama
free routine and it’s just started raining – yay!
Catch ya tomorrow BeYOUtiful, here’s to working on a wonderful life and having a very great
day.
