good morning from the wildly humid south, my lovelies.
i hope you had a good weekend. i'm just popping in for a quick minute to share a photo or two. i'm also thinking i might start dropping in with a link to the other blog (messages from the ancestors) each day. but right now, i'm just thinking about it. maybe i'll just link that day's post when i do post here. what do you think?
anywho, my weekend was weird. i was hyperalert due to {jazz hands} all that out there in the world which was exacerbated by what was happening here in the States. i pretty much stayed in the house with the doors closed and locked. i did a lot of reading, sorting and miscellaneous stuff around the house.
for the past week or so we've had so much rain i have barely had to step outside to even look at the garden. so, guess how surprised i was when i went out yesterday morning to water and found i had 6 juliet (large grape style) tomatoes ready to pick! of course, i forgot to take a picture but they sure were pretty!
i'm on a lot of meds right now as my neuro is trying to find a good combination of things to help lessen my time and intensity in migrainelandia. at least 3 of them completely take away my appetite so i'm eating very little. i am NEVER hungry (honestly, even the thought of food makes me want to barf 95% of the time) and by the time i think about needing to eat something (trying to manage my blood sugar) it's usually 8 or 9 pm. so over the weekend, i decided to try to get myself a regular meal schedule going. last night i decided to have a little salad so i could eat the tomato so picked a tiny bit of lettuce, a radish and cut up a tomato for it, to go with my fried potato and hot dog.
i ended up giving 3 of my beautiful tomatoes to my next-door neighbor. that's why i only have 3 left in the first picture. the very light-colored one fell off the vine while i was picking the others so i brought it in to let it ripen before i eat it. :-)
anyhoo...what have you been up to lately? did you go to a protest this past weekend? i'd love to hear about your experience if you did.
i hope to be back soon. i have my nephew coming to stay with me next week and that should give me good fodder for the blog not to mention be a lot of fun.
thanks for being here...
love & kisses & magical wishes...

I'm on Ozempic for my diabetes, so I'm never really hungry either. I've learned to eat on a schedule whether I'm hungry or not. And since I can't eat a lot, I try to make sure to take in good nutritional value for what I do eat, not just empty calories. Even so, I still have to take iron pills on a permanent basis to ward off anemia.
I enjoy a salad so much for my dinner. We do some cooked rice (it's good) and some chicken. I love salt so I add olives or capers or both. My sister is giving me lettuce from her garden-----delicious!
