Good Friday Morning!
I think it's been awhile since I graced you with Frieda. Gatto has taken her limelight. She is finally a fully adult cat, in other words, she sleeps a lot. Yesterday and today we are warmer, tomorrow we drop into the freezer again. I actually got out and about yesterday. A trip to the clinic for a blood draw does count as out and about, right?
I have felt gloomy, I know it's because of our political scene. I know I've been down because yesterday I impulsed shopped and I never do this. I accidently, or subconsciously, clicked on the Martie app instead of gmail. By the time I'd finished scrolling through I had managed to buy sixty bucks worth of things I can use but didn't need nor had any intention of looking for. Then I saw an Aldi ad for nice kitchen glassware at a good price. Yep, bought that plus another sixty bucks worth of groceries I wasn't looking for. Then.....I ordered three canvas prints. Now those I had been thinking about so that was no spur of the moment purchasing. I can see how impulse shopping is what a lot of people do when they feel down or helpless. I did feel a little lighter, or perhaps it was my bank account that felt lighter.
I have been in a cooking mood. Wednesday I made pizza.
Last evening it was a white bean casserole. I think I've posted this before. It's so simple it should be illegal and it is good. I spruce it up some with onion, bacon and this time, roasted brussels sprouts. Also Herbes de Provence, a go-to-herb for me. Lots of cheese, this time Gruyere.
Today I've designated bread day. Bread and ciabatta rolls are on the roster. Sometimes I think this should be a food blog but then where would loose horses in the dark and an old boy cast in his stall fit in? So, a hodgepodge it is.
Happy Day to you all.

Yes please keep the horses and cats and chandeliers!
Yeah, I think all-in-one blogs are the way to go.
It is your blog and you can write what ever you want. Very strong winds here today.
Don't worry, Boud. It's kinda a guarantee I will!
I can only hand an all-in-one, AC.
Oh, I will and do Far Side! The wind really picked up about an hour ago. Blustery!
Never limit the content of your blog!
I've begun to wonder if my bad health bout might be related to the election and all the rest. Looking back it started sometime shortly after the election news. Wouldn't surprise me. He does make my stomach turn--lol! ;)
Very windy and light snow here. Almost white-out at times. Stay warm! :)
Stress, tension, the unknown...they all impact health. It is actually likely it's connected, Rita. I know my headaches and sadness are from my deep concern.
The other night when I couldn't sleep I was scrolling through wish and ordered stuff that I liked but didn't need I really shouldn't scroll through such apps when tired.
"She is finally a fully adult cat, in other words, she sleeps a lot." I like it. I've never been an impulse buyer, I buy what I need and that's it. Mainly because I hate shopping and do as little of it as possible.
Retail Therapy is still cheaper than Real Therapy. *Winks* I think many of us feel the doom and gloom upon us, it's understandable. That Fur Baby, what a beautiful Photo! And now you've also made me hungry with your Food Porn. *LOL*
I'm brushing up on my stress management skills (I actually taught classes and led groups in it years ago), and I agree, retail therapy can help. I've been doing it too.
She has a gorgeous coat, and your food looks lovely, too, Stay warm.
Yes, going to medical appointment/labs counts as being out and about. It also counts as "socializing" you talk, you smile in other words you interact with another person (s).
I feel very gloomy and scared. I also am horrified..
I hope you show some of your purchases.
Take Care,
Kaye
P.S. I love the content of your blog. It is interesting, informative and I love seeing your pets. Kaye
I'm NOT looking for the Trump regime.
I love it! Retail therapy! Normally, I am not much of a shopper but I sure understand what you have been doing. Trying to watch less and less news as I absolutely feel that it is putting non-trumpers in a funk. And I agree...your blog is always interesting and includes great photos!
