Daily Prompt: Drink

Really all I drink for the most part is coffee and water.  Generally I make 2 pots of coffee in a day.  Its not as much as you think, as I only have a 5 cup coffee maker.  But I do like my coffee.  Back in the day of having an income, I used to treat myself to a latte or granita 1ce a week, but no more.  Probably for the best anyhow.

On my quest for improving my health I am trying to drink more water.  Sadly it seems that I am always trying...  Having a Brita definitely helps with the water though.  The tap water here is icky, very chlorinated, not good.  I also have made it a personal rule (when at home of course) not to drink anything but water after 7:00 pm   I hope to see results someday...

Anyhow, boring I know :)  thanks for wasting a few minutes on my rambling thoughts...

Daily Prompt: Stars

Who hasn't enjoyed a night under the stars.... I can think of several enjoyable evenings throughout my many years.  *blush   But still the most remarkable sky I can remember still to this day was in the laterish 80s and there may or may not have been hallucinogenic enhancements. Lol   But it was a warm summer night, we went for a walk, and ended up just sitting on this old wall and watching the sky.  It was beautiful, so quiet, peaceful and a million bright stars just above.  They were so crisp and bright, it was easy to get lost in the night.

I still love the glow in the dark stars that you can put on your ceiling and walls.  I plan on getting some at some point for this room.  2 of the walls are black anyhow...  It will be awesome!!

Sunday morning coffee break

Seems like a very peaceful morning.  I see blue sky peeking through the clouds which gives me hope that it will be beautiful in a couple of hours when I go for my usual Sunday walk.

I feel so lucky, and blessed to have met the group that I go walking with!!!  For a couple hours every Sunday, I don't have to think or worry about things.  I let it all go, think about nothing in particular and just enjoy the time.  Occasionally I feel almost ignorant in some conversations, but its easy to get out of, and there is always something entertaining going on.

I talk to dshs about medical this week, and will make a Dr appt as well.  The SSI process has started, now the years of fighting begin... grrr.   I hate knowing that in the grand scheme of things the effin illness wins again.  Sigh...   But I do know many cases (now) that are being approved.  I love that my meds are working, but it always comes back...

I switched rooms here in the basement so I have a new cave.  I think Lola really likes it!  It has been almost a year since Gizmo passed.  I miss him.  I see pics of orange tabbies  but still none as beautiful as he was.  Mike and I were back in contact for less than 6 months before he threw his last tantrum July 4th, but he was there when needed when I had to make the choice to say goodbye to Gizzy.  I was so glad that he was there to mourn what originally was his cat.  Sigh.... ummm happier thoughts....

Yeah, not really anything else even remotely exciting going on in my little corner of Oz.  My love life is non-existent, my friends are awesome, but have real lives of their own with jobs and families and stuff.  :)  I do have a dinner date with Jenni and Melissa on Sat.  Super excited for that!!!!  I haven't seen Jenni since my birthday and Melissa.... oh its just been years.  The 3 of us were quite the trio many moons ago.  It should be awesome.

Oh, to some this will be big news... I have quit smoking ciggerettes.  I am using the "Smart smoke" but the nicotine oil is super cheap.  Best part is, I don't miss it!  So, if I can continue to lose weight, and stop smoking, and continue exercising ... I may actually be ready for Bloomsday, or at least look (and feel) better than I did last year!

Im out of things to update... will try to Coffee break at least 2ce a month.
