100 Happy days – Day 58

On May 27, 2025 By Not a Dr PepperIn Mental Health challengesLeave a comment

How good does this lasagna look? While this post is another focused on food, the key part is actually about teamwork. Cheesy, I know! Pun intended hehe. Mike usually works a ridiculous amount of hours, and often, I'm in charge of cooking and other exciting household duties. Mike helped me cook this dish, which I …

I don't often drink hot drinks in the evening, but now the weather is cooling, I sometimes feel like a hot chocolate. I had my first hot chocolate of the year tonight and I gotta have some marshmallows in there. I love it when they melt and go all gooey. I couldn't find mini marshmallows, …

We had a lovely day. The weather was gorgeous and we went for a walk through town. We got the groceries and a few chores done, followed by a bit of chill time and homemade pizza for tea nom nom. Affro came and had a little snuggle with me, while Mike was at ice hockey …

Today, I did pretty much nothing. In fact, I didn't even get changed out of my pajamas. It was bloody fantasic, and we watched a few fabulous movies too. Life is busy. Sometimes, it's nice to do nothing!

I love my trees, and I couldn't resist this picture when we were out for a brief walk this evening. It was the light reflecting on the river that did it, and then the flash went off  by accident, and I loved the way the branches illuminated the tree. What is your favourite thing about …

100 Happy days – Day 53

This month, I've focused on upping my daily steps. It's not always easy getting steps in when you have a desk bound job. I do what I can by walking Affro before work when I'm going in the office, taking the stairs at work, and walking around the block during my three daily breaks (regardless …

How good are frozen leftovers!? I had an appointment after work and didn't get home until 5:45pm, so I made sure to get the leftover nachos out of the freezer last night. All I had to do when I got home was dish the portions up, heat them up in the microwave, and then add …

Dog memes and silly/cute videos have been on our Facebook and Instagram feeds for the last couple of years. I think it all started from the research we did to find a breed of dog that would suit our family. In fact, one of the videos gave us the inspiration for Affro's name. It's an …

This morning, it started off with a massive rain shower, and I was so pleased to be working from home! The day cleared, and Affro and I were able to go for two nice walks, even though it was quite fresh. I think it's fair to say that we don't feel happy every day or …

I lost my reading mojo for a while. I think I spent too much time reading self-help books and trying to figure out how to "fix" myself. I don't think the worsening of insomnia in the last 5 years helped either! Anyhow, I've been reading more lately and finding a lot of enjoyment in fiction …
