I’m in awe of people who can create .gifs like this. You can almost HEAR the rain!
I just came back from having a glorious massage by my therapist, Lynn Moody. She is so kind and caring, as well as a master at finding all the tight, sore spots, knots, etc. and making them go away. AHHHH! If you’re in the Fort Smith/Greenwood/Hackett & surrounding area, call for an appointment. Her number is 479-629-7601. You’ll never stop thanking yourself.
I’m working on another wooden plaque using the Unicorn Spit stain/glaze. I think I’ll have it finished by the end of the day. I’ll take a pic to post here.
I will never be an exercise ‘enthusiast.’ I don’t look forward to it, and still have to be determined to make these sessions priorities on my daily to-do list. But I have to admit that I’m still shocked that my BODY told me it missed my exercise sessions on Monday, when our dogs got into a fight and my day was spent trying to tend to our smaller, elderly dog, Molly, instead of anything else. (She is stronger each day, is eating and drinking and able to go outside with me. Whew!) My BODY complained about my lack of exercise! I felt sore, stiff, and creaky Tuesday morning, and MUCH better after I did my NOW usual time of 35 minutes on the elliptical and 35 or so minutes of stretching yoga. So my attitude has changed from “SHOULD” to “NEED.” This is a sea change for me, and I’m pleased to recognize it. So today is gloriously physical with massage, elliptical trainer, and yoga.
I’m looking for a good beef stew that fits my keto-macros needs and will be accepted by my husband, who truly loves traditional beef stew I’ve always made, full of potatoes, carrots, etc. I tried one recently while our son was still home. My husband ate one bowl, said, “hmmph” and wasn’t interested in eating more of it. Our son and I ate the rest, thinking it was really pretty good, but until I find one my HUSBAND determines is YUMMY, the hunt continues. I’ll get more serious about the hunt right away because our temperatures are dropping around here, and my husband is looking for comfort food.
I wish you a happy, healthy Thursday.

Good to read, that you have joy of your exercises, Linda.
Maybe you can use these ideas for your stew:
I use all kind of different roots and not only carrots, mushrooms gives much taste, corn and sometimes beans or lentils inside too. Of course not all in one time, but several different every time gives different taste and feels like another kind of meal.

Thank you for the encouragement on my exercise attitude change, plus the ideas on the stew. Much appreciated. I hope you’re feeling better and better and are finally getting some cooler temperatures.

Thank you Linda. We got autumn now and went from 32 C. to 11 next morning. That was cold and very fast.
I have been down with colds for the last month, why I haven’t been as active as usual. On the way up again.

Just what you needed was a hard cold to get rid of. :0( I’m glad to hear the temperatures are finally fall-like and that you’re on the mend. Please take good care of yourself.

The GIF is beautiful!
I sometimes use larger cauliflower florets in my beef stew, so I can tell the difference between them and potatoes.

I love the gif, too, Robin. That’s a good idea with the cauliflower. Thanks.
