Reflections of My Life

As you can imagine people in my building are upset today because almost everyone here lives on SNAP. I get them but I also get the UHC card which gives me a good amount of money to spend on my groceries. I also live frugally (in my opinion) so it really isn't a problem for me. If I didn't get either one I could still afford groceries. Just figure them into my budget. Right now my freezer is full of meat so I am good.

Today I plan on making more keto replacement shakes for ice cream. I make 4 at a time because that is how many ice cream containers I have. I miss it when I don't have it. Yesterday I only had one meal around noon. A chuck steak (not the best cut but it was cheap compared to my favorite ribeyes). I was not hungry all day or night after that. I don't plan on eating OMAD it was just an accident since the steak was kinda big for me. So will be fixing breakfast soon.

I think I told you that I subscribed to the Discovery + Hallmark bundle on Amazon Video. It is only $12.99 a month plus I subscribed to the no ad thing too which is $2.99. I needed something else to watch besides YT. Plus now I have more free time since it is only me here. So far I like it. I like the programs and I also have Prime Videos to watch as well. I don't plan to watch them nonstop but find I am staying up longer now.

Sonny is at home now and seems to be doing better. He will be having that procedure this coming month where they restart his heart. So hopefully after that he will be good. Thank you for all your prayers and good vibes for him while he was going through all this.
 

I have been staying up later than I used to lately. So this morning I overslept, almost 8 AM when I woke this morning! I never sleep that late. Instead of feeling lively with that extra sleep I feel kind of groggy. It being a dark, gray day doesn't help either.

I have a list of things to do today.

I have started using the vibration plate again. Today will be my 3rd day this week. I am doing it 3 times a week for now for 3 minutes at #2 speed. So far my knees do not hurt from using it. This time I am doing it differently. Sitting down (as I am not confident enough yet to stand on it, though that is my goal, I think) but keep my legs extended out so the knees are not bent. I saw an old, old video of the vibration plate when it first came out and the instructor addressed the reason it may hurt your knees. He said to keep them straight and it made sense.

So now I am off to make the Keto Chow that I did not make yesterday as I planned.
 
This morning I will be paying bills and get that out of the way. Then doing what I do every day, some cleaning, some laundry and cooking.
It is funny how these little jobs seemed so trivial when I was young and now are a big deal to get done. I try to get almost everything done early in the day as that is when I have the most energy. The rest of the day I am on the computer.

Yesterday I worked on my photos. Making good morning and coffee time pictures. On fb I get the most responses when I use my own pictures. So I have started doing that more. When I lived at my house and wrote my blogs I had fb pages for each of them too. So took new pictures daily. Now I am using those pictures, as well as my recent ones from living here, to make my content there.

I am also working on making a calendar for 2026 of all my pets. It is fun working on it. I use my calendar every day. Keep track of almost everything I do. A week passes so quickly that all the days become a blur after a bit. So I know when something was done or not done. Still trying to get used to living alone without my bunny. Not easy to do. Sometimes I forget he is not here.
 
I think I have seen every video for 48 hours so now I am binge watching Dr. Phil. I must say I never watched much before due to his loud voice. I just don't like too loud. Now I am hooked on him though. He seems to give good advice. Though a lot of the shows are about marriage and families and I am not concerned about that. Though I do see things that was wrong in my marriages after watching some of his shows. I was married to men who would not go for marriage counseling or the one that did would not listen.

Some of the shows I saw today were just crazy! This one guy who is a grown man and has a girlfriend lives like an 18 month old baby. He goes to work and does that but the rest of the time he lives like a baby. Sleeps in a crib (he had it made for him as well as his baby clothes). Wears diapers and his girlfriend changes him. She feeds him and she says she is fed up with him and does not want him to be baby if she marries him! Are you kidding me???? How could she possibly want to marry him?
