It's been a while...again. I just went for a walk on the trail and then sat at the park by our local lake (Belletaine) and watched people launch their boats, pontoons and skidoos. It was very pleasant and entertaining. (I'm easily entertained.) I think I spent about an hour and a half doing that and sipping some coffee, which I bought as a treat. I'm still on the carnivore diet and shouldn't have creamer, but I cheated for a second.
I'm not a Book Tuber (people who do YouTube videos where they discuss the books they're reading, or hope to read. Sound like watching paint dry? It can be.) I've found a few characters that I find interesting, and watch them occasionally. Anyway, every month they come up with a theme and challenge watchers to read books matching the theme. The theme for July is Book Tube at War, and so we read books involving war. I don't usually do these challenges, but I thought it was about time I read Citizen Soldiers by Stephen Ambrose, so I'm going to jump in. Wish me luck.
Moving to a new apartment and one that has a view,,,that sounds like a positive thing. The Book Tube thing wouldn't be for me but why not check it out. I've become quite bored with most fiction, at least the ones I've requested from the library, books others have found so interesting. I've decided it must be me so I'm going to stick to non fiction for the time being.
ReplyDeleteWhile on this carnivore diet do you get to "cheat" a bit one day a week? My GD is doing the Keto diet and that's what she does. We're having our annual Canada Day BBQ tomorrow and she's making that her "cheat day".
Sorry you feel tired a lot. I think it's part of this aging thing. Sort of inevitable.
My daughter has a once-a-week ice cream cheat. I've mainly had an occasional coffee with creamer cheat. Trying not to get too crazy there, lol.
DeleteLisa, I think so many of us ladies "of a certain age" are tired much of the time -- more tired than we used to be only a few years ago. I'm not sure if it's a medical issue, or if it's just something I have to get used to. Ah well.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an adventurous move coming soon! I hope you like it there. Having a camper/RV at Micah's house sounds like a good idea!
I do hope you like the new apartment building! my Grandma lives in one of these and likes it! I am sorry you have been tired. sending you a HUG! God bless you!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave you read any "war books" by Nevil Shute? Our book group read A Town Like Alice, and now I'm reading Pied Piper. They are both about how WWII affected the lives of common people. The protagonist of the latter is an elderly man, so I feel especially connected to him and how he deals with the adventures and tasks that are thrust upon him, when all he wants is to settle down and enjoy his retirement. And he is tired! I'm glad to read it right now, because I am tired.
ReplyDeleteI think the idea of a little trailer at Micah's is a splendid one. God bless you in your new place, and I hope you have fun there.
A Town Like Alice sounds familiar. If I ever finish Citizen Soldiers (I keep putting it aside to read fiction!) that will probably satisfy my urge for WWII reading for a while. ;)
DeleteI think living in a trailer would be just fine...We've owned a motorhome and anything you can do in a house, you can do in a trailer!
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day!

I agree! I love living in compact spaces.
DeleteHello dear Lisa! Well, I hope the move is very good and that you enjoy your view. I know you are quick to push yourself and you don't have a lazy bone, so I hope you are okay with resting when you feel tired. You are strong and steady, a good and sincere follower of the Lord Jesus. I think a little camper would be nice! Sending heaps of love!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks! Sending love right back at you!
DeleteYou really are a brave follower of Jesus Christ! And you always are able to live a simple life and to wait until happiness is coming. Patience is so blessed!I also mean, that it is good to live in a camper sometimes near your family, until your rooms are ready. I love all the comments!!

Du bist wirklich ein mutiger Nachfolger Jesu Christi! Und du bist immer in der Lage, ein einfaches Leben zu führen und zu warten, bis das Glück kommt. Geduld ist ein Segen! Ich meine auch, dass es gut ist, manchmal in der Nähe der Familie in einem Wohnmobil zu wohnen, bis die Zimmer fertig sind. Ich liebe alle Kommentare!!
