Friday Cocktails - July 8, 2022

Friday has rolled around again, which means it is time for Friday Cocktails! I am on vacation! We left a couple of days ago, and I can tell you that the chances are I am in the pool! I have spent the first couple of days not doing much, and it has been so good for me. Not stressing about posts getting done, not stressing about anything, has allowed me to breathe easier.

I have just been enjoying my time with the kids. I have been doing a little work each evening, and if you send me a message or an email, I will get back to you. Just know I am a little slower right now. I must say, though, that my work has never been more productive. Somehow, being so stress-free during the day has allowed my productivity to go through the roof. I haven’t gotten this much done in a long time. I am going to take it as a sign and just keep doing what I am doing right now.

Friday Cocktails - July 8, 2022 -tacos

One thing that always happens on vacation is that I get free food. Even when it is something I eat all the time, such as tacos. My sister-in-law is always trying new recipes or spicing things up. Whether we go to the beach, to their house, or to Memphis to check out the sights (which we will be doing soon), she always does amazing things with the food we eat.

While I have to be more careful about the things I eat because of my illness, I am taking nothing for granted this year. Last July, I was discouraged and thought I wouldn’t be here this year. So I am going to soak up the sun, enjoy all the crazy things the kids do and say, and also enjoy great food. within reason, of course. I am going to be grateful for each and every little thing that comes my way.

  2. I had a fun 4th of July weekend, but the short work week made for a busy time.

  4. Busy, but a little more calm than most have been lately. I hope you and your kids are having a great time!

  8. My week has been good. Spent time with my daughter at the pool. It was nice getting together with family on July 4th.

  9. My week was super crazy buys lots of running around, shopping, doctor appointments etc. I am tired and looking forward to a nice quiet weekend.

  10. This past week went really fast. My oven broke, so, been waiting on a repair person. Hopefully, it won’t be too serious.

  11. This week flew on by for me. I made appointments, got things done around the house, and binged watched Stranger Things this week. I have one more week left of summer break before I return to work.

  12. My week was crazy! Snake in the chicken coop, ants coming in the front door due to a ton of rain, one child stuck a water bead in his ear, and another kiddo probably has strep throat. Here’s hoping next week is easy! haha

  14. My week was alright. I watched a movie with my family while Rogers internet went out. that was the longest period of time that we were disconnected from the world. It’s amazing how much you rely on technology these days. Very happy to be online again.

  16. My poor doggie is terrified of fireworks, so not much sleep for either of us – and people are STILL setting some off every night

  18. This week has was a little better than last at least. Our dog came home from the hospital, and her we got to have a few good days with him.

  19. My week was aggravating. I spent hours on hold trying to get a hold of my dr office for a prescription. Then, found out I’m supposed to call a callc enter?! what!? Oh well, issue resolved and now onto a great new week

  20. Quite extraordinary. My husband and I want to move his Company “Quansor Corporation” to another location, we checked out Montana, Idaho and Alaska this week. My head is just spinning.

  21. It was a great week. we took the puppy to a dog park for the first time and he absolutely loved it

  22. It has been a very hectic week. Lots of appointments and family things happening.

  23. Glad to be back swimming 3 times a week. Have to do it in the mornings since it’s been 100 degrees a few days.
    Thanks for the contest.

  25. I have been having some health issues so this week is full of tests. Hope yours is much better then mine.

  26. This past week was nice! Got back from vacation in time to have an old friend & college-aged daughter come to spend overnight with us, and celebrate the 4th of July at a neighbor’s party/fireworks! A fairly relaxing rest of the week, just running some errands & catching up on laundry, followed by a calm weekend!

  27. My week last week was not greet as I suffered all week with an infection. We watched the city fireworks from our front yard and not much else really. Looking forward to some cooler weather though.

  28. My week is just beginning and it looks like it’s going to be another hot one 🥵.

  31. It was kind of blah. It rained a lot. I slept a lot.
    Didn’t get too much accomplished.

  32. My week was uneventful, nothing noteworthy to report, I have been watching the new seasons of Legacies and Stranger Things on Netflix, The Flash season 8 is next up on my list

  35. It hasn’t been great, I got sick Sunday night and I still haven’t recovered.

  37. I returned from a trip to find out i had covid and not allergies so i hung out at home for a few days until I could go back to work.

  39. Great FOund out I get to meet five of my great nieces and nephews and getting my grandmas treadle sewing machine~

  40. My week has been ordinary. I’m not doing anything special, only trying to stay cool.

  41. This week has been as crazy as the last. Another girl is leaving work and we will be even more short handed. I hope everyone had a great week!
