Happy Weekend, my lOves! Did everyone get to stay snuggled under the covers for a little longer today?
Not me, I had my alarm set and still woke up before it went off. I am working this morning, but it should be an easy day. Honestly, I am super excited for this program. I'm just assisting on a Meditation and Reflection Walk. It's a brand new (to us) program and I am observing /assisting so I can fill in if the regular Lead can't do it. Just as I trained for Forest Bathing.
I'm looking forward to doing some meditation today, even found an old journal to bring along.
Yesterday was busy-busy-busy! I had 14 different things on my To-Do list and crossed off all but three of them. I even dragged myself into ShopRite after debating with myself if I wanted to place an online order and pick it up today. But it's all done and I'll start the week's shopping order tomorrow and pick it up on Thursday. Hopefully, that will give the family enough food to get through the few days I'll be away the following week.
Plugging the Paprika App again: Cait and I cannot stop telling everyone how awesome this app is. She can add stuff to the Meal Planner, find new recipes, or add notes on the nights she won't be home for dinner. You can edit all of the recipes-- For example, last night I made Vegan Egg Roll in a Bowl. I doubled the recipe in the app, and it called for 2 Tbsp. Sriracha. I was like-- not a chance! I kept that as 1 Tbsp, which was the perfect amount of heat. I added that in the Notes section so if I can't remember what I did (highly likely!) next time, it's all there.
Neither of us likes to pay for apps and pretty much refuse subscriptions, but this is a one-time change of $5. And we laugh all the time about how it is the best $5 we each spent.
So my goals for today-- first- work and *if* I get out in time, swing by the FP if it is still open. I have only been able to make it twice in the last three months and what a difference it makes on my budget. Just being able to get a can of coffee at this rate is huge!
Once I get back here, I have to bake Caitlyn's birthday cake and the mini-muffins for my IL's gift. That's from a box and it is made with almond flour. I'll taste test them and if they aren't good, I'll have to find another recipe. MIL doesn't like anything sweet so the regular cake mixes are out of the question.
If I have more time, I'll keep studying mosses and lichens as phytoremediators. (my new $20 word of the day hahahah!)
That's it from sunny and *dry* NJ.
