Reading:  Dead Cold Brew (A Coffeehouse Mystery) by Cleo Coyle

Listening to: I've been in a 70's groove lately. Alexa is probably wishing I'd play something else. 

Loving: how green everything is right now.

Thinking: I should make the effort to try and change the way we eat. Reading a lot lately about how the foods we eat, even stuff that isn't processed, is not the same food people ate even 50 years ago. We don't eat the same way, either, since we are not limited by growing seasons and climates. We can get anything at any time of the year. (Raise your hand if you've enjoyed corn on the cob in the middle of the winter.) Unfortunately, those readily available foods are mostly genetically modified or treated with chemicals to keep them looking pretty during the long shipping process. Anyway, I'm seeing how a lot are beginning to think that the chronic pain that plagues so many these days is brought on by inflammation caused by these foods.

Feeling: thoughtful

Celebrating: a good weekend

Grateful for:  my stepdad's injured leg (done while he was on vacation last weekend) that sent him to the ER on Friday because they found it was the least of his problems. His legs were filled with fluid and his heart is in a-fib. The doctors feel it's because of his medication so they are playing around with those. He's 78 so that's good news.

Weather: 83 degrees with thunderstorms in the forecast

Enjoying: having most of the house in order following a whirlwind cleaning spree before friends came to visit on Saturday evening. (I do my best work under pressure!) It had really been bugging me, but every time I had a day off, something else would come along.

A quote I want to share:
