Wednesday, Finally fixed!

     My word have I had to fight to get this blog back.  I still don't know what I did to make myself unable to log into this but I screwed it up royally.  I have been fighting with Adsense for about 6 weeks and I am still not liking their ad structure.  I have wanted to go to amazon adds for a while now and relate them to posts at least on a weekly basis. This is not what caused me to go bonkers, but it took Hub's niece and nephew a few hours to figure it out.  Thank goodness for them is all I can say.

     The weather has been beautiful here today and will continue for the next few days.  I have taken several long walks in the sunshine which has been so nice.  I have decided that I will probably never get this much free time again, so why not enjoy it?  No phone calls, no clients, just my house (which is still a sty) and my yard  which I love.  I don't really have to do anything.  There are no kids to deal with, Hubs and I can just float along at our own pace and as long as we don't step on the others toes we are fine.

      This pandemic will be over and we will go back to the business of life.  Then we will look back and think of all the time we wasted wishing things would hurry up and be over.  Although we all worry about the future, and the world, allowing ourselves to be caught up in crippling anxiety is not doing any of us (especially me any good).

     I received the nicest card and box from Sluggy for my birthday.  She stocked my up on hair dye, makeup I use, some new garden gloves and candy.  What a gift!  Everything I can use, plus chocolate.  I will take pictures tomorrow for all of you.  She had a wonderful message in the card that really resonated with me and kind of made me change my attitude.  Thanks Slugs, love you.

     Tomorrow hub's and I are going to take a long drive up in the country, just to get out of dodge.  On Thursday I am going to make sugar cookies.  I will use my grandmothers Swedish sour cream cookie recipe.  These can be cut outs or rolled and frosted.  It is one of the recipes my mom and I used for all our rolled cookies.  Then I am going to take them to shut ins.  I have to be careful with Hubs on his diet not to have sweets around.  Oh who am I kidding I can eat my weight in cookies if given the chance.

     Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Kim

  4. Glad you got things figured out!
    You are correct to enjoy the quiet time. Anxiety does NOTHING good. I really don't want things back to 'normal' - hope some things stay different. I kind of like people being extra caring and nice and a bit more laid back.

  7. Those cookies sound amazing! Exactly the kind I love.

    To your point, even though this time is frustrating, I try & do one or two things a day that I normally wouldn't have time for. Because, it will be over one day, and I want to feel like I used the time as wisely as possible, despite it being irritating.

    1. I keep looking at the spider webs and the dust and I just don't care they will always be there so I am enjoying the sunshine.

  8. I don't have any real butter and sugar cookies aren't my favorite, but I've been diverting myself form making Peanut Butter blossoms, for reasons of my own gluttony.

  10. I have sour cream I need to use, do you have your recipe on your blog? Thanks ( I am isolating alone and will eat them all, I sure shouldn't but right now I don't care, it'll give me some happiness). Also hopefully the snow will melt and I can burn some calories off soon.
