mental health days

What a day, what a day! So we all know my Monday sucked. What you don't know is that on Tuesday I decided to take a mental health day (we all need them from time to time) and what better to do on said day than to organize!
I don't know about y'all, but when I get stressed and anxious, I find it relaxing to organize my library/office/craft room/closet. Sooooo, I decided to cook some amazing food to get me in the "less hungry- more focused" frame of mind. Cooking has it's difficulties when you haven't been to the store in almost a month. I hate grocery shopping when it's nasty outside...okay, I'm lying, I hate grocery shopping alone and without an idea of what I want to make. I'm one of those people that wander around aimlessly for well over an hour, going down every row to see what catches my eye. Of course produce always gives me the "take me home vibes" and I end up with grapes, strawberries, bananas, onions, carrots, potatoes that have a slow and tortured death on my refrigerator shelf.
Anyway, lost myself on that tangent. Back to my quest for food when you don't have stuff. I made pancake omelet fritters! Now you might be asking yourself what would go into pancakes to resemble omelets. I fried bacon, onions, mushrooms, FRESH garlic (I love love love it!!!), and cheese and folded it into pancake batter. Fried to perfection, these little jewels were amazing! Also, not to be forgotten, the other omelet was cinnamon, apple pie spice, nutmeg, choc chips, and walnuts. Delicious is the only word to describe them!
Okay, so after cooking came the rearranging (an inherited family trait: we are rearrange-aholics). My library is now organized and rearranged. So soothing now! Great for relaxing.


Sweaters all in a row...


Bookshelves relocated but still want to alphabetize the books




Throw blankets in dresser drawers with another drawer for cloth napkins!! (which is now located in my dining room)


And last but not least...reorganized the kitchen.

So anyway, I do all my cleaning and then, low and behold, I get sicker than a dog. If there is one thing in the world that turns me into a giant baby, it's throwing up. Even worse, throwing up all over oneself and into a trashcan that is a basket. Not my brightest moment. Baskets have holes. Bah. I'm not gonna gross you out anymore. Let's just say I had a mess to clean up. So midnight finds me doing laundry and sprinting to the toilet.

Feeling better at the moment, but I'm being a hermit and vegging out in my library. So glad it's a clean and happy place for me to wallow.

At least I'm not out in the wind gusts that are 50 mph, and instead, curled up on my futon with my two favorite babies. Sadie and Banjo both decided to join me for a lazy afternoon siesta.




And another view of my masterpiece!

Stay warm, blogging buddies!
