I tend to make goals in Dec. for the following year, but try to get very specific so that when that part of the goal is checked off, I feel very much accomplished by the little steps. <br /><br />I wanted to ask: Did we finish the Emilie Barnes book study? I hope I didn't miss the rest! It has been a delightful read-a-long.<br /><br />Praying full recovery for your knee!<br /><br />Lori in TXLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14602192772747775429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-11696838059071217632022-12-10T01:23:56.325+10:002022-12-10T01:23:56.325+10:00Dearest Jennifer thank you so very much for Block ...Dearest Jennifer thank you so very much for Block 2 of the stich along and for the study notes to go along with it too.

I have a Harry too (he's a 9 month old cavoodle) and finally starting to settle down although he does have his zoomies and runs around the couch like it's a velodrome.Anorina @SameliasMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210287822137630366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-66711739309878594112022-12-01T09:05:06.975+10:002022-12-01T09:05:06.975+10:00I always plan my coming week in regards to meals, ...I always plan my coming week in regards to meals, although sometimes it doesn't turn out the way I planned due to life simply stepping in and changing.

It sometimes changes but it is a good guide line. I am a list maker... lately using an erasable board.

No...I write loads of lists, but I am not a planner. Now that I am retired, I pretty much do as I please each day. Laundry gets done one or two times per week. Groceries get bought when we are running low. I could pureed meals for my mom when I notice her freezer is low. I think I have to consider having roasted veggies for my lunch. That looks delicious and is definitely healthy. I have a similar chair for my sewing machine. I need it for lower back support. I do find that it helps. I hope this chair helps your knee continue to heal. Well done finding the pink cover. Your pup looks quite content in his bed surrounded by toys.

I just love the way you share your life, and although I hardly ever comment, I look forward to your posts very much! Your reaction to black pepper is so interesting, and many congratulations on finding out you can use cayenne pepper and not suffer from your terrible oesophagus pains anymore!<br />I am wondering if you or any of your readers has noticed some sort of reaction to other spices? Recently I have noticed I wake up with a head ache that arrives very late during the night. Often after the evening meal the day before had spices, such as ginger, garlic, curry things like that....<br />Your day of cleaning and cooking is a great way to leave time for other things, hobbies etc, and I try to do similar planning, so recently I have started to cook larger meals, so I can freeze a portion for another day. I love your tip to make a large batch of roast veggies, your lunch looks yummy!<br />anyway, many thanks, stay safe and best wishes from NicolineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-72966356017792383112022-11-30T15:59:23.705+10:002022-11-30T15:59:23.705+10:00It is good to see someone so organised and it does...It is good to see someone so organised and it does help the household keep running efficiently. However, each time I have scheduled daily things to do something crops up and everything gets put on hold for another day. I end up with twice as many things to do on another day lol. I have never used salt in or on food and always added ground pepper but not quite as much as you lol. I have never had or wanted a microwave and people think I am crazy. I had to learn how to use my daughter's when I was over there. So, not much planning here apart from going to bed each night wondering what to cook for tea the following night. I like your ideas better. Ho hum.

How beautiful.💙 That is interesting about the black pepper as I - like you - used to cover my food with it & love it. <br />Dear wee Harry dog tucked up there with his toys. How lucky he was when he came to live in your home my friend. <br />I should plan more - I mostly plan in my head but this can often just swirl around & around as I go about my day. I will certainly today, order a new diary with room so I can write down my plans - I have a nice one but it will finish in another month. Take care of that knee my dear friend. xxxJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301647145550214950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-70329756946405140572022-11-30T06:16:06.034+10:002022-11-30T06:16:06.034+10:00I plan for each week also, but it seems lately my ...I plan for each week also, but it seems lately my plans get changed. I guess I'm learning to go with God's plan for me and not mine. But all is good, and I can see the blessings I am provided with in the changes He makes to my schedule. I'm so glad your knee is feeling better. Having a comfortable chair makes all the difference.

Now that I think of it, I started using black pepper again and discomfort, feeling like heartburn soon followed. I thought it was from vitamins and meds. I'll give the " no black pepper" a test. Thanks !<br />Planning...now that the days are cold the wash I hang to dry takes longer. Plan accoringingly :)<br />I love the yearly calendar that Threadbare Creations has published on her site. It's great to have an overview of each month and enough space to add those appointments and new block release dates :)<br />hugs, take care,<br />Joanne <br />Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367841239911239597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-19838536559290242312022-11-29T18:18:58.555+10:002022-11-29T18:18:58.555+10:00I am terrible at planning Jennifer and usually fin...I am terrible at planning Jennifer and usually find that when I do plan, things happen and my plans go out the window anyway! I usually have a big clean on Saturdays though as we rarely go out then. Being retired means we can go out during the week when it is quieter. Good to hear the knee is improving, if slowly. xxLinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406333686298786963noreply@blogger.com
