Walk on Home ...

 In 2013, it was warm enough that we had these on the sixth day of April: 

Today, some 10 years later, we ain't got shite for flowers. Some of the greens have exploded, but the buds have yet to unfurl, and due to a wayward, and very misguided "gardener" hired by my father-in-law, we also have close to ZERO lilacs left, of the white or purple-y varietals. 

I think I will plant some herbs outside the window, maybe. Depending upon whether we decide to make any improvements to the homestead or not. Dahlias would be lovely, too. I just don't know. I'm so torn. 

In other news, today, we've got clouds and a bit of sun, and still a chill in the air. I just would like to spend much more time outside and get Nettie out of her Bark-a-lounger and into the warmth and fresh air. 

Still doing good with the eating. I did notice that if I do NOT consume enough protein, I will get hungrier much earlier in the afternoon. Such was the case yesterday, so I ate an early dinner of this: 

and some pork rinds and chip dip, of which I had too many, and then got TOO full. Can't win. 

My one issue is that I am eating too late in the evening, by way of snacking in front of the television. That needs to stop. It really does. I'll figure it out, but for now, just eating better things and working on the brainspace. 

As for stats and metrics, here's the scoop: 

Weight: 209.6 

Blood glucose: 107 

Not too shabby. Feeling decent. Getting sleep. Apart from the adulting anxiety with the house, everything is good. 

Got another slew of designs made for posting on TeeSpring. Did some brainstorming for new ideas, and have those organized and ready to create. I am thoroughly enjoying this. It's very cathartic, and though it may take a hot month or year to sell anything, I don't care because at least I am putting my creativity into something that could potentially cause smiles and joy and it causes me smiles. That's what counts.
