Probably my usual...
Grits with extra sharp Cheddar cheese and some ham. I'm also adding an egg every day. Hard boiled is my favorite.

No more V-8. I found out that my sodium is too high.

My blood pressure has been all over the map lately, too. High for two weeks until yesterday when I came close to fainting and now it's low again. That's my usual.

My doctor had told me to carry a salt packet with me everywhere for that. But I rarely used it. I've never had to worry about high blood pressure. So, something's up.

So, I'm experimenting.

Nollie will be having kibble with Gouda.

I'll have my lemon-lime Lassi midmorning.

I hope everyone has a lovely day.

❤️

Like icy cold cherries with Greek honey vanilla yogurt.

21 seed toast.

Heat wave starts today.

I've been sleeping during the day and doing my housework starting at 2 AM. It's not so bad right now. I've already prepped my dinner. Done laundry and worked on cleaning out the pantry. I'm going to change my shelf liners and add some more shelves and a bulk storage space for pasta and such.

I am counting the days until Fall! I checked the calendar yesterday and the first day is 9.22.
