It's the Little Things--- Tell Me Something Small that You're Happy About :)

I am getting ready to go out for a fried shrimp lunch. And I will be getting the LARGE option, both in size and number of shrimp. I am all a-twitter. Whoop whoop!!!

What about you?

I got my skinny cat to gain weight!
Back in November, I noticed that I could feel his spine and ribs. I should've weighed him, but I didn't.
His special person, DH, works from home so they are together all day. But for the whole month of Dec, DH was working every day away from home, and I think he was depressed.
It worried me, so I increased his number of meals per day and increased his portions of wet food.
He really seems healthier now, and much less bony!

I found a recipe for two, for creme brûlée, made it a couple days, and it worked!!!

I made rice last night for younger son’s lunch. Used the chicken tortilla soup I made earlier in the week, strained out the liquid and made him a rice bowl since he has a microwave to use at school.

Then I still had a good amount of rice still, so I gave some to older son who is nursing a mouth injury from frisbee and dumped the rest in with the leftover soup. Had that soup for lunch today and it was yum.

That is a ridiculous amount of words to say that I love coming up with ways to use up the food we have so nothing goes to waste or gets thrown out

Bodysuit extenders. They are the best and my husband is getting tired of me saying how happy I am since they arrived in the mail.

I love this.

My neighbour gave me a lot of green tomatoes that she took off the plants before the frost spoiled them. I found a really easy recipe for green tomato chuntney, and finally got around to making it yesterday. I cut back on the sugar, so it’s got a lovely tang.

I have a Queen of the Night grown from a small cutting over many years and it hasn’t really liked my gardening prowess so I was more than delighted to get 10 flowers at once.
I also have a beloved Snake plant and was astonished to learn that they flower, albeit rarely, and then the plant Gods heard my prayers and voila.
And finally a Praying Mantis egg sac. Praying Mantis are my spirit animal.

There are some beautiful new cats in my neighborhood.

Trying to decide where to go and eat when I am in London for the weekend.

So many choices!!!

Sunday is sorted and it will be an all you can eat brunch at a 5-star hotel.

However, Saturday is a bit more problematic as I have 2 shows to see back to back.

Having my dh home with me after his TKR surgery. Having Tommy (he’s our elderly and frail kitty) sit in between us on the couch as we are hanging out together.

(All I need to be truly happy is for my loved ones to be healthy).

I’m so grateful for all the small stuff.

Since it’s the little things, I’ll add … yay for Friday finally!!
Also, my orchids are doing fabulously!!

I'm home alone tonight! I'm in my PJs, watching Netflix, having a yummy bowl of tomato basil soup, and cuddling with the furbabies.

I love where we live, both the house itself and the location.

 

[oncrutchesrightnow]

I like my tank top.

Another "small" pleasure

The beauty all around us
I will never take this for granted

Mother Nature can be cruel
But she is also filled with wonder and beauty

I love the beach

The sunsets
The sunrises

The colors
The wildlife

It is, in a word, magical

Talking to my college sophomore via FaceTime, and seeing their bright happy face.

I have tomorrow off from work!

It just dawned on me that since all 3 of us have had Covid this month, we are immune for a little while and can finally dine in at restaurants we have missed for the past several years (since they don't have outdoor dining).

My birthday is coming up soon; I will have a lunch date with DH at a favorite seafood restaurant. I look forward to broiled scallops.
He will have a father/daughter date for steak at Texas Roadhouse (not being a fan of steak, I prefer they go without me.)
Then DD and I will have a mother/daughter date at some restaurant of her choice.

Never thought Covid would have a silver lining.

Not sure where my brother is living but he sent me earrings. After the big WHAT? I louped them, lots of inclusions. Herkimers! Never seen this stone before. Fun jewelry. Fixed a bad day at work.

When my ex-FIL died, the family found a few small Herkimer crystals among his belongings. They all thought he had hoarded rough diamonds!

I went to an indoor swim birthday party for my 5 yr old granddaughter today. We share a love of the pool
