Hopefully, I will be able to work outside early afternoon and finish up the pruning...not too much is left. Although I am going to really cut back the lilac bush (and feed it) to see if it will produce leaves if not flowers. Last year there was only one flower and very few leaves. Think I will need a saw as some of the branches are very large.
Boy, I did not want to exercise this morning? I did do 30 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes of strength and cardiac though...fighting it all the way. I do feel better having done them but tired.
So, yesterday, although I wanted to make salads...every salad I wanted to make had one major item missing! And I still have no vehicle (can't believe that both cars are in the shop this long!!!) so I couldn't go to the grocery store.
I put all the items I took out for the salads in a bowl with ground beef, added some bread and eggs and made a meatloaf along with baked potatoes both white and sweet. I would like to say that it turned out well, but, really, it didn't. It needed both salt and fat (which is hard to believe with ground beef!). Adding some cheese or a bit of olive oil helped but let's face it, it was a flop!
I'd like to show some new creative items but guess what, I didn't work in the studio at all. After taking care of the house, laundry and cats and then the dinner disaster, I was too frustrated do anything in the studio. What did I do? I read. Yep, I finished the book I told you about yesterday...'An Irish Bookstore Mystery' by Lucy Connelly. It really was an excellent mystery so I got the next one in the series ready to read. However, I think I will go back to the latest 'Tea Shop Mystery' by Laura Childs.
And, although I was frustrated and, let's face it, a bit angry about the dinner disaster, I followed my own advice about anger. I acknowledged my anger and frustration. Realized there was nothing I could do about the situation other than change plans which I did (even though it didn't turn out very well) and decided to enjoy the book rather than focus on anger and frustration.
That's all for now...hope you have a wonderful day...
Talk with you tomorrow...
