Today is National Pecan Pie Day, so celebrate a half-done week with an ooey, gooey slice of pie and a side of vanilla bean ice cream.
Hump Day Happiness
He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Okay, I’ve had a couple of salty posts recently. I’m feeling a bit better now that my new PC is up and running.
All the better reason to kick back and have a dose of gratitude.
I’ve got plenty to be grateful for, so Wednesday is a fine time to take a deep breath and appreciate what I have.
That being said, I also have a fair amount of stress due to the lost time associated with my dearly departed laptop.
Deep breaths. Deep breaths. Appreciate. Deep breaths…
Mmm, Pecans…
Award Winning KETO PECAN PIE | Gooey Sugar-Free Recipe
So, I can also be grateful for all the creative foodies out there who come up with sugar-free alternatives to some of my guiltiest pleasures.
Am I making progress on my weight loss goal? I don’t know. I don’t want to get on the scale every five minutes and jinx it.
Last time I checked, I was ten pounds down. Hopefully, the next time I get on the scale there will be even less of me.
Empty ✒️ Inkwell
The pen is the tongue of the mind. ~Horace
One of the many enemies of creativity is exhaustion. I often find myself too tired to be particularly creative.
I need to get caught up on sleep so my creative mind can churn up some more chapters for me to transcribe.
I had a decent bit of progress lately, but my laptop croaked. Spending the weekend trying to get the new PC set up was pretty stressful.
Stress leads to exhaustion and serves as a double-whammy to my creativity. Right now, the inkwell is completely empty. I’ve literally got nothing.
A good night’s sleep ought to take care of that, but stress also causes me to sleep poorly. It’s something of a vicious cycle.
Stress leads to exhaustion, which leads to a lack of creativity, which leads to more stress about the fact that I’m not being creatively productive.
The record spins, but there’s no music playing. That’s kind of stressful…
Yes, it’s a short one today. It’s been a long day and I’m tired. The weekend will be here soon, but not soon enough. Thank goodness for a chilly bedroom in the meantime.
