🌞 Good morning 🌞 gentle friends!
Let’s get this day started…

We got snow this morning – ❄️ SNOW! ❄️
That made for an interesting night of not sleeping… I told Sandy today it felt like I was wearing cinder block shoes filled with broken glass… My feet hurt terribly and I couldn’t sleep until almost 8am…set my alarm to not oversleep since I was cooking for her today but yowza!

👩🏻‍🍳 COOKING FOR SANDY DAY
3 days a week, I cook meals for a neighbor who had a stroke last year and has limited mobility. We often share a meal kit or something similar and spend some time together since neither of us go out too much 😁 Today is one of her days. I’m enjoying having someone to cook for again.

I also offered to make a pan for my friends this week… They didn’t want any Sauerkraut so theirs is a little different. I took it in a baking pan wrapped in foil so all they have to do is bake it when ready.

I took Sandy a serving for today plus she had another serving, maybe 2, for leftovers. I had mine when I got back from seeing her. It was good, but for me, could have been a bit more tart… I should have used a proper German Kraut instead of Kroger canned regular stuff… 🤣

If you aren’t familiar with my situation, basically I live with several autoimmune issues… an “inflammatory overstimulation response” brought on by my basic blood cells thinking they are Spartan Warriors and attacking everything in sight.
