Monday Daybook

Good evening, friends. I bet you didn't expect to hear from me again so soon. I'm sticking with my old school Monday Daybook for now. I think it's something I can keep up with even during busy times - fingers crossed anyway. 

Outside my window... It was a hot, sunny day. It's almost sunset as I'm writing, and it's still 81 degrees out there. So much for that nice little cold front that came through on Thanksgiving. Such is life in Florida.

The weekend... I wasn't feeling very well and was just completely exhausted the entire weekend. There were plans to get together with my family, but I just wasn't up to doing anything. My kids still got together and took the little ones downtown to watch the Christmas parade on Saturday evening, so it all worked out ok. 

This morning... I was still dragging, but finally got myself up and moving. I had some calls to make, made my to-do list for the week, figured out a plan for meals, and then went to do my grocery shopping. 

I am wearing... I'm back in comfy clothes now - Jammie pants and an oversized t-shirt, another one compliments of my son. Today, it's an old Nintendo t-shirt featuring all the original characters.

I am listening to... Silence at the moment.

I am thinking... About starting a new blog - a private one. There are so many pros and cons to consider. The only real solution for doing and sharing everything I want to would be having two blogs, one public and one private, but when I think about that, I have to ask myself if I've lost my ever-loving mind!

I am feeling... Sick and tired of being sick and tired. I don't know if I picked up something from the girls last week or if it's just one of my health issues kicking my butt, but I'm still feeling so lousy today.  

I am reading... Blogs, as usual. Unfortunately, I'm currently not able to see well enough to read books. I have cataracts and need surgery, but I have been putting it off. I've tried audiobooks, but I somehow forget to pay attention when I'm listening instead of reading. Does anyone else have that problem?

I am cooking... I'm making egg roll in a bowl with ramen noodles for this evening, and there will be plenty of leftovers for the next day or two. I'm planning to make some breaded Italian chicken cutlets, macaroni and cheese, and roasted broccoli on Wednesday. That way, I'll have a good lunch ready for the girls on Thursday - just heat and eat. I have everything I need to make Chana Masala late in the week if I'm not still working on leftovers.  

I am watching... I've been watching movies on Tubi lately. Check it out if you aren't already familiar with it - it's a free app. Here are a few that I thought were pretty good - Grandma, Fireflies in the Garden, Welcome to the Rileys, and I'm in the middle of A Good Person, which seems good so far. All have great casts.

I am going... Nowhere other than out for a nice long blog jog this evening.

This week... Other than a doctor's appointment tomorrow, I'll be checking things off my to-do list, and then of course, I'll have the girls all day Thursday. I try not to plan anything on Fridays or over the weekends if I don't have to. There's always a lot of cleaning to be done after a day with the girls, and besides that, I'm always worn out for days afterwards.

That's all for me for today, and possibly the week - we'll see. Now I'm off to see what you've been up to. Enjoy the evening! :)
