Good morning. It looks like this week fall might actually show up. We’ve had such amazing weather in the 70’s lately. It’s hard to believe it’s actually October. I wouldn’t mind if it stayed that way for another month.

Last week I took it pretty easy. My body really needed some rest. And it felt great. My body temperature stabilized. My legs didn’t hurt. I was even able to exercise a bit more (although I’m quite sore today!). I hope this week doesn’t get too crazy. But it’s already starting with a little guy up an hour and a half early and some other stressful stuff.

F is for Fish.

I’m not sure yet about all of us going to church. My little guy has had a cold, so I’ll have to decide if he’s healthy enough for the nursery or not. I have my second chiropractic visit this week. And I can’t wait!! I’ll get the full work up with x-rays to really see what’s going on with my spine/scoliosis. And then we can figure out a treatment plan. We also have parent teacher conferences and a celebration for my parents’ 40th anniversary.

Since I didn’t do much last week I have quite a bit to get done in the kitchen. I roasted squash yesterday and froze some. But I might do more this week since we got a bunch at the orchard yesterday. I also got pumpkins to cook/freeze. I might start canning applesauce this week. I would like to cook some dry beans. I realized yesterday that we are out of regular bread. So I either have to go to the store or make some. I need to make a new batch of gluten free bars. And I have a lot of ripe pears that need to be used up. I’m thinking some kind of of bread or dessert.

I need a lot of quick prep meals this week. So it’ll be a simple menu. I hope I can keep up this week and that my body continues to show a positive reaction to adding exercise to my routine. Enjoy your week. Eet smakelijk!
