Monday, Mondayyy

I would love to have Mondays off, forever. It really makes the week much more awesome.

This has been a good day, so far.

I am on day 3 of trying new back meds. Man, as ironic as it is, I hate meds. I hate that the solution is taking meds until they can get me into the chiro and back in water therapy. But I decided that I hate not being able to move and play and run around more than I hate meds, so I've been choking them down. I'm a little less like a space cadet today. Which is good. I was able to run a pile of errands with the wee one without having to take a break before getting her in and out of the car. I even got to wear her on my back to drop Aubs off to the camp bus this morning.

We cleaned, ran our errands. I am stoked that the small grocery store carries most of what we need for our day to day now. Of course, life is easier when I can just wash diapers at home, and give Mabel the food from the farm. I think in the last few months we really have reduced our shopping spending dramatically, just by making some really small changes.

I made the most yum casserole today. Zukes and summer squashes baked in cheesey creamy goodness. I am loving not eating meat again. I'm so much better at cooking veggies than dead things. My stomach feels a million times better, which is good especially with these new hard on my tum meds. So far we've used most of our farm goods before they go bad, which is quite the task. I used 8 zukes and 3 squashes today, so far!! It helps that my kids like all that strange stuff, like beets and squashes and bok choy. Although eating this casserole is making it harder to resist a nap!

Thinking about starting some pot-luck dinners up.

This likely concludes my fun portion of Monday. Finishing laundry and dishes and then off to traffic court :(
