August Check-In

Reading - a lot
Keeping up with routines like laundry, feeding dogs, and other fun stuff
Meal prep- I’ve tried a few new recipes; my favorite is taco salad.
I’ve discovered the joy and ease of “single serving cookies”.
Watching Downton Abby with Brady on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons
Riding on the Brandon Kat emotion roller coaster - it’s mentally exhausting.
Brandon is back in rehab, and I think Kat is filing for divorce.
Winston is on the physically exhausting front; he catches up on sleep once I open his cage door. His life is in danger every morning at 4 a.m.
Going to Buc-ees with Joan—never in my youth did I imagine I’d be looking forward to an outing at a convenience store.
Experienced Buc-ees, I hope I never have to return. It’s so noisy, and I didn’t find anything to make me want to enter that madhouse again.
Improved my single-serve cookies by substituting Splenda for sugar. Yay me!
Re-created and IMO improved the Buc-ees chicken salad. I added dried basil to their otherwise perfect salad mixture.
Welcomed 12 new mini sproodles, took photos, and created their webpage.
Watched Smoke, Hunting Wives, and Untamed.
Played are on the wall!
