The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

I'm going to try something bold here and attempt to get to bed before 4 AM my time. :laughtwo: Hopefully my level of fatigue coupled to being able to sleep in my own bed......*deep sigh of contentment* What bliss. Wish me luck.

Good night all. Thanks so much for watching over me. It makes all the difference. :Love:



the countdown begins now LOL!

2:08 - still roaming. :blushsmile: hopeless :laughtwo:
 
2:33 AM. Clothes set out for my power walk at sunrise. Lights all turned out. Actually IN bed. Turning the iPad off ..... :laughtwo: :Love: ........now!
 
A gentle suggestion, perhaps ask your son if he wants the trains. Who knows. :Love: In the case he decides to ask for a bunch of things beware to not allow him more than you initially suggested. Arms length thats how I role.

Good morning Cajun. You see I made a valiant attempt. :laughtwo: I think I made myself stop after a comment to Conradino at around 4, so I've a bit of work there still. LOL!

Slept like an innocent though and rolled out the door at 7:30 for a sweet power walk along the river. Took too many pictures so now I have to take the time to format and post on my Spot. That'll keep me busy for a while later.

Today I begin to reclaim my body again. Too many years of neglect. After I bake these buds and get a nice buzz going I'm getting down on the mat and do my Callanetics. A girl could get used to having all this freedom. It's kind of a heady experience. :battingeyelashes:

Sometime today I need to buy groceries. The fridge needs cleaned first, hence the hesitation. :laughtwo:
 
You go Sue...
 
ain't life grand?

I had a moment there earlier when I considered that I will once again run out of top-quality home grown (we are so ridiculously and wonderfully spoiled) before my next harvest is ready. For a fleeting moment I felt a sense of lack try to creep in. I don't do well with that particular sense, so my defenses against it are pretty tight, and within seconds it vanished. I so prefer to trust that the universe supplies the honest need and roll with it. Makes my life so much easier to free flow with life.

An important aside: I am 61 and spent the last 35 years swimming in unconditional love. I am not your typical person on the street. I was not always this person.

This is what's left of my Dark Devil Auto.

Go ahead, look closer. Impressive! Hahaha! This stuff always make me laugh right out loud. We take this lusciousness for granted guys. What delightful snobbery :laughtwo: LOS shouldn't be taken lightly.

One of the sweetest experiences of my cannabis history has been this lovely plant. A peppy, speedy high that I find uplifting and just plain fun. I laugh more with this one than I did with Buddha Magnum, and that's saying a lot. I'm burning right through the harvest and loving every. single. moment. Yesterday I jarred this part up and stuck in on the shelf behind the curtain. I reached under to pull it out a few minutes ago and my hand bumped up against another, unexpected jar.

When I pulled out what I expected to be an empty jar I found

BUDDHA!

Well knock me over! :laughtwo: That was unexpected. Look at the trichomes on this stuff. Hahaha!

My giggly girl. This is like finding buried treasure! :yahoo:

Now, Duggan, were you paying attention? Did you notice how I chose to ignore "reality" and plowed through to something unexpected and magical? This is how it's done. Absolute faith in anticipated outcomes. This kind of thing is a constant in my life and always has been. It's all in the belief system. Every time I visit your journal from now on I'm going to envision a P600 hanging there, whether or not you do. Let's set that cosmic timer and see how long it takes.

This unexpected pleasure changes my timeframe today because this calls for a Buddha Buzz. LOL! Anyway, it's time for my best friend's "Sue Fix" as she drives to work, and there's no time for Callanetics before I head over to retrieve the rest of Dale's things from the nursing home.

Buddha now. Garden. Callanetics later.

Oh yeah...... Food. Breakfast might be a good thing, you think? :laughtwo: :Love:
 
Ok guys. I posted proof positive on my Spot thread that I still have the capacity to not only feed myself, but do it with style. :cheesygrinsmiley:

I need to remember how important breakfast it, particularly if I will be power walking at sunrise, eh?

What do you normally do for breakfast? I have a problem eating before 12 and I really need to start watching what I eat. I find that I'm just not hungry in the mornings. Anyone else have this problem? If so what do you do about it?
 
I do the same Pigeons. Stay up all night and never feel hungry till late afternoon but sometimes don't take time to eat till the middle of the night. A couple years ago I pushed it so much working till late on no food that I passed out and fell over- super embarrassing! Now I try to eat. You may find if you take the time to feed yourself something good in the mornings that you feel hungry once you start eating? Our bodies go into conservation mode when we don't eat, and stop feeling hunger. Coffee, wonderful coffee, is a bit of an appetite suppressant as well.

Living with a diabetic I always had to stay on schedule. When he went into the hospital four months ago I stopped eating breakfast. Big mistake. That morning fuel is necessary. You have to force yourself to do it initially Pigeons. Start with simple, scrambled eggs and toast with coffee. Every now and then mix it up with cereal or French toast or maybe waffles, but simple worked for me.

Our basic breakfast was actually rather large. We had it almost every day. The menu went through regular revisions, but this was our last one.
- 3/4 c cereal with 4 oz milk and 1/2 banana chopped up in cereal.
- 4 oz OJ
- 2 scrambled eggs
- coffee (accompanied every morning with a "Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss. Soften my dreams with your sighs. Tell me you love me for a million years.... " - you get the picture)

For years we avoided breakfast. All the way up to the time he had his first heart attack and was diagnosed as diabetic.

Now I'm a big fan of breakfast.
 
That seems easy enough. I'm going to put my best foot forward to ensure I eat. I often leave my hunger so long that I feel weak. Then it's a scramble to get something healthy. I just want fast. I have high cholesterol, had it for years now. And I haven't taken it as seriously as I should. Something I think about often.

Thanks guys

MUAH!
 
Usually not being hungry in the morning is a sign of eating too much too late the day before.
 
This isn't a big problem for me. I don't eat much after 8/9 o'clock. I typically wake up sooooo hungry that I can't sleep anymore. But once I get out of bed I just don't want to feed myself. The hunger passes and I move on.
 
The trick is to make yourself do it every morning without fail for 10 days. Then the habit is set. Keep it simple. Cream cheese and bagel, Greek yogurt and graham cracker. You want protein (can't beat the efficiency and nutritional value of good eggs - ignore the cholesterol hype about eggs, it doesn't apply), carbs, fruit and fat. After 10 days you'll be hungry and want breakfast.

MUAH!
