Wednesday Hodgepodge: No Peas, Please

Good morning, all! I hope you are keeping cool and comfortable wherever you are. It's going to be another hot one here and the humidity is already off the charts. I find myself looking forward to the storms that are due to roll through tonight and cool things down...as long as they don't bring too much wind or hail (or other bad things) with them. 

For now, while I'm hiding inside, huddled around the air conditioner I'm linking up with Joyce @ From This Side of the Pond for the Wednesday Hodgepodge. Please consider paying her a visit and joining in the fun if you haven't already.

1. Last thing you said yes to? Did you regret it?  I agreed to stay with our youngest grands yesterday while their mommy went to a doctor appointment and daddy (who works midnight shift) was sleeping. Nope, no regrets. We had a wonderful time playing and cuddling.

2. No big deal, no contest, no dice, no hard feelings, no ifs ands or buts, no kidding, no offense, no pain no gain, no way...choose one and tell us how it applies to your life currently.  It hasn't taken effect yet, but I'm going to go with "no pain, no gain." After talking with my doctor last week, I have a visit to the sports medicine clinic to look forward to...which is most likely going to mean some physical therapy to get my leg straightened out and behaving itself. I'm also going to be going to a weight loss clinic where there should be no gain, but I'm hoping no pain!

3. Thursday June 11th is National Making Life Beautiful Day...in this strange season how are you adding beauty to your days/life?  Since I'm not currently working and have my days free, I'm spending lots of time with the grands and other family and friends and doing lots of things I just didn't have time for or was too tired for when I was working. Having time for that makes life more beautiful to me.

4. According to an article found here, these six foods taste better in June than at any other time of the year-strawberries, asparagus, peas, peaches, beets, and garlic. How many of these have you tasted so far this month? Anything on the list you'd say 'no thank you' to trying? Rearrange the list starting with your favorite (1) to your least favorite (6).

1. Strawberries
2. Garlic
3. Peaches
4. Asparagus
5. Beets
6. Peas

I've had fresh strawberries and asparagus this month. I've eaten garlic and peaches, but not fresh. Beets are...ok, but no thank you to peas.

5. Describe your current mood in three words.  LA. Zee. Why.  Think about it and say it again if you have to. It's just so darn hot and humid.

6. Insert your own random thought here.  All of the doctor appointments, tests, and whatnot are behind us for the week and there really isn't anything else on the calendar for the rest of the week. I'm keeping up with the ibuprofen doses today because the crater where my tooth used to be is hurting a good bit if I don't. This is the first time I've ever had pain after dental work and it caught me a bit off guard, but given how the extraction went I probably should have expected it. You can read that story here. Had a great time with my bible study group last night. I guess, basically, life is simply going on and we are trying to live it the best we can in the face of all the turmoil and our "new normal."
