 Inappropriate thoughts

I can be influenced.  I feel like I am a bit a tea snob. My son is into Stitch from Lilo and Stitch.  I tried this and it was delicious. Yogi has a Disney Themed Tea collection

Deep Thoughts

This week has been a lot of " I prefer not to" but I did it anyway. I mailed off some paperwork for my adult son, and they say you really don't have a permanent record. I beg to differ. You need an IEP from 2007. I got it.  Need an evaluation from 2002.  Got that too.  

I feel like I killed a tree to print all of this.  I definitely went through a ream of paper.  This isn't all of it either. My son said you have a lot of papers. No son you do!

Exciting News

not quite the same as cuddling a 

real  baby

My niece had her baby.  I am so excited for her and her husband.  Baby Frito has arrived. 

Reviving the Beast

The Revived Beast

Well I restarted my sourdough starter from the edge of death.  I have frozen starter, but I had some hanging out in the fridge since May and guess what. I brought it back from death. 

discard waffles

I tried a different sourdough bread recipe that wasn't 100 percent hydration. It was the first time I have done a cold proof. I used Becky Higgins Recipe. I found it on her Instagram. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

I also made Discard Chocolate Chip Bars. These were tangy. I did let the dough refrigerate overnight.

Spicy Older Blazers Fans Back in Action

Spicy Older Blazers Fans not to be confused with Spicy Only Blazers Fans.  The Blazers were back in preseason action against the Golden State Warriors.  It was fabulous to see Dame back on the court.  Of course I had a little cheat sheet for the game.

Inappropriate Thoughts

Decorating for Halloween or Christmas makes me really happy. It finally feels fall here.  I like the challenge of using what I have.  Last year I invested in rechargeable tealights that have a timer. I love the look of the tealights flickering. I love using them all year around.

Deep Thoughts

Have you ever heard of October Theory? Basically, it is a second chance to reset your New Year intentions in October. I did this last year. I had a wakeup call last year at this time that I needed to take better care of myself.  I had a significant amount of weight I needed to lose because my heart didn't like it and my blood pressure was elevated. I started Zepbound and I lost around 45 pounds. I ended up visiting the cardiologist and getting a CPAP machine.  What is October Theory and How You Can Make It Work For You? My October Theory this year is to make sure all my health maintenance appointments are completed so far, I have completed my mammogram and pap smear. I got an eye appointment and ordered new glasses. By December I will have also had my dentist appointment. These were things I was neglecting doing,

World Postcard Day

This is a big day in the postcrossing world. The fact I just said that is a bit cringe, but I have to participate. Yes, I bought special postcards.  Hey, I am extra. These are from Lou Paper on Etsy.

I was able to mail out 4 for postcrossing - Portland, Or, Germany (2), Spain and I also mailed one to a friend. 

We also found a hybrid geocache letterbox to get the World Postcard Day badge.
