A nutty Monday

This morning was a nut butter morning…

Peanut butter on the left, pecan-almond butter on the right.

Backtracking to the weekend…we all had a restful weekend. I added another bed to the recuperative suite as it became clear that my single was not necessarily going to be mine. It is musical beds but so far, I’ve been able to snag the largest for nighttime. I did have one nap in the smaller bed and it is quite comfortable.

While I would rather Bear had not had to have this surgery, given that he did and we have a critical period of rehab…I am not feeling like living in the sunroom is a hardship at all. It is very cozy and we are comfortable. Yesterday, I went in the bedroom for a change of clothes and the bedroom felt almost strange. I was glad to get back to the kitchen/sunroom which feels like home. I’ve thought that if I get a chance to build the house I’d like to build, it would be 1 large room with a kitchen corner, a sitting corner, a sleeping corner …a bath/utility room with a door, but otherwise – 1 open space. This experience confirms that I would very much like that. And it wouldn’t have only a front porch…it would have a wrap around porch with doors on all sides – high ceilings so the roof could overhang the porch all around. I have a friend who can design this perfectly.

Well, back to Monday.

For this morning’s nap, Bear in my bed and Bob in the dog bed that is now Bob’s bed as the dog’s preference leans in a different direction…

In lieu of a morning nap on a workday morning, I indulged in one of the nutty mochas I like to make with whatever nut butter is left in the blender. And this morning, for an extra special treat…cashew cream whip with cashew caramel drizzle. I think I can now get on with my day :) !
