Happy Microbes


 I’m trying to make my gut microbes happy and be healthier myself. 

The almond milk smoothie was gross with oatmeal in it.  I liked it much better without the oatmeal.  I did have to add sugar though because I wouldn’t want to drink it if it wasn’t sweet enough.  Next time I will just buy sweetened almond milk.

I am obsessed with chocolate almond milk, and I am the only one who likes it so nobody else drinks it up. 😄👍. It does contain added sugar though. 

Chia seeds in yogurt are actually good. 😄👍 
 
I don’t mind drinking the chocolate Orgain plant protein shake, but I don’t I really don’t like the humm kombucha. 

Update:  Just adding some Splenda and vanilla extract to the smoothies also works well to improve the flavor instead of adding table sugar or using sweetened almond milk.  

Something that I also really like is making smoothies just using mixed frozen fruit with water or apple juice, and some Splenda to sweeten it.  For the liquid, I actually like adding part water and part apple juice (when I have it) so that it doesn’t take on too strong of an apple juice flavor.

Things Belong Together

 Things belong together. For example, a plate that I have saved that is meant to be used underneath of a candle should be with whatever candles I have.  If I value the usefulness of this plate, then it should be kept with my candles and not in some drawer in the garage where I forget that it exists.  That just doesn’t make any sense at all.  I don’t know what has taken hold of me to suddenly experience such organization and storage enlightenment.  😂  Oh and any currently unused nightlights that I still wish to keep should be stored in the same location as night light bulbs.  It just makes the most sense.  Oh thank you fairy of storage knowledge for the imparting of your beautiful wisdom! 😚🩷 😯 My miscellaneous drawer is proving to be work.  I’m realizing that most of its contents should really be stored somewhere else.  I’m not finished yet so this may prove to be true of all of its contents.

Thoughts & Insights

 Sometimes I have thoughts that are gift to me and sometimes they are my own.  I think they sometimes are a combination of both.  I guess that makes sense if I find them in my own head.  What I do truly know, though, is that there is a greater source from which we human beings can draw intelligence, wisdom and clarity when we find our way to tap into it.

Alternate Activity

 Well instead of going to jury duty (after not being selected) this week, I am tackling a clean out of my bookshelves lining the walls of my garage which is made possible with two strong fans.  This is the part that I neglected when I previously worked on my possessions clean out.  I am downsizing my collection (less can actually be better) and better organizing them.  The excess will be dropped off at Goodwill stores.  The last time I did this was before we moved in the summer of 2018.  It does go against my nature to get rid of good books, but I never stop wanting to acquire more from thrift stores, library book sales and etc. so this becomes necessary.  I will always find more, so this is not a problem.  It is also good for Goodwill if I purchase them and then donate them back again. ☺️  Now I just need boxes.   Note to self:  Don’t forget that I already have this book. 🫢 I guess I should at least keep one copy. Oh dear, in atte...
