So is the views dowloads or just listening count? I got a car and im doing uber eats until autozone hires me(HIRE ME AUTOZONE) as well as selling art. Im not there yet as ive just kicked things into gear but im scootin on over there. Tolerable job and school enrollment are the two hurdles i have left before i can allot a little money for purely entertainment purposes. It aint nothin.
Retrograde Mercury! 😡 What a PITA. I thought it was BS until I started tracking patterns of communication, travel, and electronic glitches. Also feeling blah. Sure enough, checking those occurrences against the time when Mercury was retrograde, there was an increase in things like losing stuff, misunderstanding what people said, people I hadn’t heard from in some time re-surfacing, traffic delays, etc. So yeah. It’s apparently a thing.
As to habits, does it ever get easier to establish them? I struggle with that constantly. Maybe it’s my ADHD. Dunno. In any case, I admire your commitment and ability to do that! Whatever it is, can ya lob a little of it towards PDX? 😂
Hey Corey! Yep...habits, which are only truly possible to sustain as life changes when they are things you can reasonably do forever. I’m a food addict. Food is my drug of choice. I had to incorporate addiction therapy techniques to learn to live in a world where unhealthy foods surround me constantly just like an alcoholic has to learn to live in a world surrounded by bars and liquor stores and wine moms and “let’s get together for drinks.” I learned my biggest problem is avoidance. I ate to avoid dealing with the stress of life directly. I binge eat just like other addicts go on “benders” until the “can’t stop till I pass out” thing happens...followed by profound guilt and self loathing afterward, which then causes me to eat to avoid dealing with those feelings. For me, stepping on the scale is my daily habit to avoid the avoidance of bad eating consequences, if that makes sense at all. Every day the scale either gives me a data point that resets my thoughts. If it’s up, I am more mindful of how I eat that day to stop the gain. If it’s down, I am more mindful of how I eat that day to keep that loss going. Anyway, that’s my story of losing 106 pounds, then going through cancer and menopause that helped me gain 80 of that back, and now back to my addiction therapy trying to de-fluff myself once again. Fifteen pounds off, 60+ pounds to go. Habits, Corey. You’re absolutely right.
I resonate with so many things you just said!! I hope you are doing better with all the other health stuff... you are a stronger person than me, that’s for sure!
Thanks Corey! I’ve been a nurse for 30+ years so I take better care of other people instead of me. Common nurse vibe tbh. Most of us do it that way lol. I passed my 5 year cancer free mark the day after Christmas so all is good!! But omg I love my food!!! Anytime you feel like sharing your salad making or other healthy recipes, please do it. I’ve got a piccata recipe that’s light and quick and easy for shrimp or chicken that’s pretty tasty but I could use some new ideas when you feel like sharing. Kiss the wee babe for me and have a glorious day!!!
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (or equivalent in chicken tenderloins, or 4 smaller breasts, or 1 or 1.5 pounds of medium to large peeled, deveined shrimp)
Flour seasoned with salt and pepper (amount varies, used for lightly coating the protein)
2 cups chicken stock (can also use seafood stock...or mix 1 cup of stock with 1 cup white wine if desired)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup brined capers, drained
Salt and pepper to taste
Lightly coat the chicken or shrimp with salt and pepper seasoned flour, shake off excess flour. Brown in a heavy pan with a little olive oil.
Drain any oil left in the pan. Add the chicken stock, lemon juice, and capers. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer the chicken or shrimp with the sauce for about 5 or 10 minutes till the sauce reduces and thickens a bit.
Remove from heat and drizzle 1 -2 tablespoons melted butter. over the protein. Serve over pasta (or substitute zoodles, spaghetti squash, or roasted veggies such as asparagus or Brussels sprouts for the pasta)
**note** I like to add a little garlic to mine also, minced or powder, whatever I have on hand
C) I dated some guys in my younger days just like you 🤣🤣🤣
You and Drew need to come up to WI with Trae next time he comes, me and my daughter got tix to see him this round, and we're gonna try for Nashville at the end of the year, but next time you gotta come to us...😁
