Happy Homemaker Monday 5-19-25

 The last few weeks have been a Blur of activities....from competing in the Flying Pig 3-way with Cheese, coming back home to a calendar filled with opportunities, challenges, work, meetings well you get the picture...  

What unfortunately hasn't been happening is making time to blog...and though I can do it on my phone in the evenings, I've just used that time to spend with & catch-up with the Mr....
The Month and Time is slipping away ! My gosh all mighty June will be here in 11 days!![sigh] Well I can't get back or make up all the time spent, but I can try and do what I can, when I can. Let's start with a link up with Sandra for Happy Homemaker Monday...

*****

** The Weather **
It just doesn't seem like we can get a break with all the rain this Spring...

** As I look outside my window **
Sun is making an appearance, 

 ** Right now I am **
Drinking coffee, talking with the Mr, working on this post...

** OOTD **
Changing into ''better'' lounge wear for chiropractor appointment this morning. 

** Thinking and pondering [how I'm feeling] **
I'm extremely proud of myself! The Kid and I went to Indianapolis and competed in the ShePower race. This year I did the 10K because I've been wanting the BIG medal for a couple years now...
 
** What I'm reading **
Finally completed Confess..not a fan though...

** TV Shows this week **
🤣 Yeah 🤣 Right !!🤣

** Menu Plan **
🍲 Whatever happens to be at the top of the freezer pile,
unless the Mr requests something.🍲

** No unNecessaryFB_IMG_1743526284362.jpgSpend Challenge Update **
May Challenge is supposed to be 23/31 and right now I'm not sure exactly how many days I haven't gone to the store but 🤔 thinking it's about 16??

** Sinking Funds - CC Update **
So, this is going to shock me more than anything... remember during the Hike trip a few weeks ago, my Ethel engine light came on [not related to the lightning] and needed a new Thermostat. That alone was almost 1000$...YEP, they had to pull the engine to replace/fix. Then I used all my pet SF$$ for flea treatment on the 4 PurrKids, so while I was at it I went ahead and used my SF trip $$ and applied it to my CC. All that said, I'm starting over with several categories...[sigh] 

🠟 These categories 🠟
** Goal/To Do List **

** Around The House **

** Project this Week **
🠝 I have NO Idea 🠝
I might just be flying by the seat of my Leggings...

** Today's Motivation **
This picture of me coming into the finish at ShePower..I'm 70! And incredibility proud of me overall physical self, and showing off impressive '💪guns
💪' if I do say so...

** Something fun to share **
Looking ahead at my schedule/calendar I realized I have 11 more race events over the next 7 months...🤯

** Looking forward to this week **
Maintaining a mile a day until later this week...training for a 5 mile trail race next month.

** From the camera **
The Kid and I in Indy candy/fudge shopping. Hey we deserve it...especially Kid! She ran a Half-Marathon before driving us to ShePower.

** Reflection(s) **
I admit that sometimes I feel as if I'm in 'free fall'--I delight in hearing
You whisper to my heart: ''I am with you''

This month has been an exciting Blur!! I did just post photos this morning on each day they occurred, once I got home from FP it was Balls-2-the-Wall with responsibilities and NO I'm not complaining 😂,  it's my new NoRmAl 😂. 
1 more full week of playing catchup before heading to Indy for ShePower 10K...maybe/hopefully with planning, scheduling I'll get everything reorganized inside & out.
