I Don't Feel Like Writing, But I Should

We had a hot summer, then it cooled down and it's been raining and raining. I think we got about 2 inches. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and beautiful, which is good, because tomorrow and Saturday are my hubby's days off. We are looking forward to taking some walks.

Last weekend we drove up to Manitowoc Wisconsin. Between Manitowoc and Two Rivers there is a bicycle path and wayside parking, right along Lake Michigan. There you can find drifts of flowers and wonderful views of the Lake. We stopped by an amazing garden, so beautiful we were looking for the entrance fee, but it was free. If you are ever in the area, visit West of the Lake Gardens, 915 Memorial Drive, Manitowoc, WI 54220

Most of my succulents are still outside. It's still not cold enough to bring them in!

I'm trying to clean up and organize the spare bedroom. Not my strong point. I still battle sadness. I have so much in the past that I've lost.

I've been on a program offered by my insurance that coaches me on ways of eating so I can control my diabetes without adding insulin, which my doctor threatened to do if I didn't lower my numbers. So far I think it's working. The hardest part is when my hubby wants to take me out to eat. It would be easier if I liked steak, but I don't. Soups I used to eat are thickened with carbs (flour or starch), so those are a no. All pasta, bread, rice and beans are out. I haven't touched any of that since March of this year. I enjoy a taco salad (no chips or shell), or grilled chicken with a veggie. There are literally dozens of keto websites with hundreds of recipes, but sometimes I'm tired of cooking EVERYTHING. I also cook for my hubby, all the things I don't eat anymore. Eggs? Well, eggs are a great protein source. But I hate that eggy taste. I'm always looking for ways to hide it.

Well, I did manage to write some after all.
