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 wouldn’t say that I love kombucha or orgain plant protein shake, but I don’t mind drinking them either. 

Update:  I find it much easier to drink down the chocolate plant protein shake.  I really don’t care for the kombucha unfortunately. 😝
And 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.

Scientology

 Earlier today, I found myself thinking about Scientology.  I remember that years ago, I watched the TV series “The Path” on Hulu.  After that, I watched (I don’t recall on what streaming service) “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” with Leah Remini and Mike Rinder.  This program about Scientology had three seasons and was all about the practices of Scientology and the harm and abuse perpetrated by this cult religion.  It was eye-opening for sure.  I had never previously learned much about cult movements and cult religions, and it was shocking to me to think that such harmful organizations actually exist in the United States of America and that children are born into these cults.  I knew there were religions such as the Jehovah Witnesses and the Fundamentalist Latter-day Saints but I never really knew much about these abusive religions.  While watching the Leah Remini series, I realized that this organization was even worse and more harmf...

COVID

One of the unsettling things about COVID-19 was that before actually contracting it, no one could be absolutely certain where they might fall on its’ Russian roulette wheel of lethalness.  Healthy people with few risk factors could take comfort in believing that they would be unlikely to become seriously ill, but there were always stories and cases in the news of young and seemingly unlikely victims who had in fact lost their lives to COVID.  When I finally got it myself in summer 2022, I had very brief and mild symptoms.  I might totally have my vaccinations to thank for this because in years gone by before I started getting annual flu shots, I had some flus that did a good job of kicking my but and keeping me down for a full week. I must have written that for the benefit of some future people who know little about COVID-19, because obviously anyone who has recently gone through the pandemic doesn’t need this information. 🫢
