What I'm Reading This Week #25

Hello and happy Friday from the land of the scorching sun.  We are in for absolute Hades conditions the next few days, right on cue for the summer solstice.  You know I'm not happy about that. 😒 Thankfully, my other 50% shade cloth just arrived and is airing out so they can go on in the afternoons.  I have stuff in the big planters that are not fans of scorching heat so I need to be as on it as possible if I don't want it to go to poop for other reasons to add to the current reasons.  (Rain, pests, etc) I'm tryin' y'all!  I just got my little lint rollers to roll aphids/larvae off instead of wasting shipping tape.  I swear to you I have not seen ONE BEE since everything went in.  There was this chubby bumble bee that would hang out when our lilac was in bloom and just zone out levitating so I thought for sure she would be here for it all.  Nope.  The second it bloomed, it was gone.  I haven't seen honeybees at all.  I've checked ...

What I'm Reading This Week #28

It's finally Friday, all!  I hope you've had a good week and have some top rate shenanigans on tap for your weekend!  It's been a long, emotional week here.  The first of many irritations with our healthcare system that seems to fail people at every turn.  I'm surprised at this point they don't just expect people to schedule their own appointments then scan and diagnose themselves.  Anyhoo.  It's so hot out.  We did one walk Monday and it was disgusting.  My skin felt like it was on fire for a good 90 minutes after despite sunscreen.  Is it Fall yet?  Not the beginning of it either, like November like Fall when temps actually start to dip.  

Now let's dip into:




New Research Says Exercising Without Enough Sleep Diminishes Workout Benefits  (I really don't know how to change this.  I have been a 5-6 hour sleeper my entire life.  Melatonin is a hard no because I feel groggy the next day.  Sigh.)

Dietitians Caution Against 'What I Eat In A Day' Videos  (It's nice for inspiration but not much more than that.)

10 Toxically Positive Statements That Hurt Your Mental Health  (Yeah, these are some pretty flick-worthy statements and I have a feeling we're going to be hearing a lot more of them soon.)


Are Granite Countertops Outdated?  (ROFL...they said 'look like meat.')



The Breakfast Club Deleted Scenes - Part 1  (Stumbled on this in our feed and a must watch for any fan of the movie.  Very interesting what was cut and Carl was particularly brutal to the kids midway through.)

The Breakfast Club Deleted Scenes Part 2  (I always find these so interesting to see if we agree with what the director cut or not!)

I don't feel like we can really make plans for anything right now yet I also feel like there's nothing we can do so I'm just in this weird numb limbo while we wait for any answers.  I've researched myself into vertigo so I guess we'll just see where the next few days take us.  

Where are the next few days taking you?  Anything planned?

  1. No plans and you're right, just going where they days take us for now. We will just try to enjoy any little pockets of time we can get to ourselves and recharge together.

    1. Thank you so much for all you've done for both of us already. I would never make it without you.

  2. I hope you have as relaxing a weekend as possible. Hopefully with some answers as well.
    Hubs did the grocery shopping today because I have a gastro appt to go to in a little bit and I'm finishing up at work. No great shakes this weekend other than laundry, cleaning, helping someone tomorrow night, and church on Sunday.
