Good morning, friends! How was your week? It was a hot one here. In the 90s and humid daily. We finally had some rain this weekend, which knocked the humidity levels down (for now) and it’s been a nice couple of days. I’m currently sitting in my living room with the window open, enjoying a nice cool morning breeze coming in. It’s nice not to have to turn the air conditioner on as soon as we get up.
I did a lot of writing in my “mobile office” this week and finished the first draft of my upcoming novel, More than a Billionaire, Skylar and Franky’s story! It felt awesome to get to their little happily ever after moment. Now to dig into the edits and really make it good! I’m excited.
This week, we had a giant 10-yard dumpster dropped off in our driveway and spent some time this week emptying our trailer that we’ve been adding trash to for a while now and gutting our creepy old basement of a ton of trash that’s been living there for years. It was a ton of hard work, but it felt awesome to get all of that out. We still have lots more purging to do before the trash company comes to pick up the dumpster, but just throwing out stuff we’ve been storing for no good reason for so long feels amazing!
It was also a week of healthier eating around here. Tried several recipes from the Instant Loss Cookbook, including the loaded sweet potato pictured above. It was so yum, cooked up in the Instant Pot, so soft, topped with turkey bacon, blueberries, and walnuts, and then you mix up a little syrup for over it with maple syrup, cinnamon, and a tiny bit of almond milk. It was so good. HERE is a link to Brittany’s book, with lots more good healthy recipes for the Instant Pot.
Our weekend ended on a nice note with Jake’s sister and her hubby and their girls doing a drive-by visit on the way home from visiting with the grandparents. 🙂 It was nice to see them and chat for a few minutes.
This week is going to be all about editing on my book and filling up that dumpster. 🙂
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
