There are days when you want something nutritious.
Having a rice steamer is awesome, but not necessary.
You can make a big batch of rice and save it in the fridge.
Leftover cooked rice is very versatile.
One of the best tasting meals you can make is vegetable stir fried rice. It’s quick and it’s easy to chop up some onions and zucchini and throw in that rice with some egg. Fried in canola or olive oil it only takes about 10 minutes to enjoy a hot, healthy meal fit for a movie star!
I always consider myself the finder of things. When my 2 dogs were alive I would walk in parks and traverse fields and pass through neighborhoods and find all kinds of items on the ground.
I would faithfully take them to the local police department.
Yesterday was no exception.
I went into the toilet stall at the local grocery store. There on the toilet paper dispenser was somebody’s smartphone. I promptly took it to the customer service desk where I turned it in.
A similar thing happened to me recently when I was in upstate New York in another bathroom stall. There, I found somebody else’s beautiful Smartphone along with designer sunglasses. I took them to the restaurant manager for safekeeping.
I have found things as significant as a big fat wallet filled with money, credit cards, I.D’s that the police returned to its owner. Most of all, I have found many smartphones over the years, not to mention the many sets of keys I’ve turned in to the lost and found department at various places.
I don’t keep the things I find.
I always turn them in.
I like to see myself as the “finder of things.”
The beach kite came and went.
Hubby and I put it together and after a few attempts at getting it to fly, it was finally soaring.
The kite string was screaming and the handle of the kite spool broke off!
Away went the kite on it’s own over the fields and far away.
It finally came to rest on a tall tree far off in the distance where it got all tangled up in branches.
It had it’s day in the sun!
I wrote this short poem for the scooters…
Scooters all down,
Lying on the ground.
The wind is so strong!
The day is so long.
So, instead of a ride,
We’ll all stay inside!
I woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of rain falling hard on the roof and loud winds howling.
Today it feels like 26 degrees out (-5 degrees Celsius.)
The strange thing is that 2 months ago if the weather was in the low 20’s I would be delighted.
So I will go for a 10 minute walk to drop off a couple of books to the Little Free Library instead of staying indoors all day feeling sorry myself.
Everyday I try and get in a good walk.
I am so happy the weather has warmed up here in Southern Minnesota.
Some springtime delights include kite-flying. I ordered a beach kite. I am excited to show you it when it arrives and we take it out.
Talk to you soon!
I am a radio dj
I am working today at the radio station 🚉
You can hear my show here
I’ve been in radio since 1993. It’s a job match made in heaven.
I have the gift of gab and my degree is in music!
Each Sunday afternoon at 4:08pm Central Daylight time I do a live program on KNUJ radio from my station in Southern Minnesota.
You can also stream it on the Internet at knuj.net.
Here is last week’s show.
I am working on managing my time. The problem with overwhelm is one I have been trying to tackle for years. The problem I have is trying to get a lot of work done, and feeling stressed out with it all.
So I have been trying to take smaller steps in shorter amounts of time. It’s hard to digest how many areas of my life demand my time and attention.
Life is a journey. Take it one step at a time.
We are having some very cold weather here. It really stresses me out. It’s very much like Winter today instead of Spring. I like to get outside, but when the weather is windy and cold I tend to feel sorry for myself. So last night after work I had my husband James take me out to a local restaurant for an Impossible burger. No supper dishes to deal with this morning and a little less stress.
