Things are still crazy over here, so I’m just dropping in for a quick hello.
* We painted the new kitchen yesterday and the difference is immense. It used to be some kind of baby blue, which didn’t fit in with the rest of the house at all. I chose “Ivory” and it looks lovely. We’ll do the second coat tonight.
* It was VERY hot yesterday. Wow!
* When the chips are down, sometimes you just have to draw a line in the sand, conceding a few points in the process, but establishing a barrier you will not cross. I haven’t been to gym since Monday and it’s unlikely that I will be able to go this week and I have had to eat more cooked food than I would like, BUT I am still 100% plant-based and having one fruit meal and one green smoothie per day. I will not compromise on that.
* Life is still good.
* Poor Haiti. My heart aches.
* Will hopefully get around to reading blogs as soon as I have done most of the packing. Keep well!

I will post pictures once we’re all settled in and the bathroom renovations has been done. First I’m going to make it all pretty/
Moving can be so hectic. Good job drawing the line!

Sounds like you’re getting lots of activity *outside* the gym. Sometimes I think that’s the best kind.

Hi! I really enjoyed your post about Karoo. I know it has been awhile but I think about it often because it is a place that I had never heard of. Thank you for sharing that. Take care!

Sounds like you are busy with a lot of fun work that will probably turn out amazing! I had some cooked food last night also, mainly because my ingredients for the next recipes on my list weren’t coming until today. I was also kind of tired and in a rush. Anyway, keep it up!
Tricia´s last blog ..More recipes checked off and mmm…
When we moved into our house, it had baby blue accents and I covered those up as soon as I possibly could!
Take care of yourself during this busy, busy time!

hey hanli….Ivory sounds wonderful.
I know how moving is…used to be a military spouse.
I used to have moving down to a science. It’s different if your civilian.
Hope things smooth out soon.

Moving is like 5 gym workouts all bundled into one day!

ha – I think of the kitchen I once had with lots of avocado green & harvest gold – inc wallpaper that had big ‘kitchen implements’ (pepper grinders, etc) on it – yuck! It took awhile to get to that room – white walls & true blue cupboards. . . we visited one of my daughter’s friends about that time, & her mom had about the same colours (we’re talking appliances, too! mine were the green) . . . & her daughter asked if I liked mine *as well* as her mom did . . . ummm (what if she DID like them) – the mom turned from the sink & declared “I HATE them!!” . . . oh, yeah!!
Congrads on the move, blessings!

I like your line in the sand. I’m feeling the same way right now… I am getting WAY less exercise than I’d like, but at least my nutrition is pretty good and other things are going well. Gotta just keep plugging away at it!
Great metaphor! I think painting your kitchen should count as a workout of its own! It’s a long yet rewarding process! I just painted my room the past weekend. I was wiped out!
