My Cozy Casita

While out I did go into Walgreens trying to find any nail hardening products that are not quite cosmetic in nature, such as oils or serums.  I figured this year that I’m now allowed colored makeup and nail polish, I can at least try to work on the health of my nails.  I then came back to the apartment to start folding my clothes.

I do realize something, I had it in mind to pick up some chicken to cook this weekend--but then I didn’t quite get to it while out.  I really need to start making lists for myself before I even step outside.  Or a running list of stuff or errands that will keep me on track.  Of course tomorrow is another day and I can just try it again, with my car in tow to make the run easier :-D  I do want to cook that chicken but I’m also craving pizza…this is what always throws my meal planning off - LOLz!

The calm pace of my life is one of my biggest blessings.  I have worked so hard to get here with the help of Oshun, the Orisha, Nkisi and the ancestors.  I am coming to realize that when I vision-boarded these days not so long ago I envisioned a way of making self soothing and self care into an integral part of my life and a central part of my blessings.  To recognize it and not just chase after the “next big thing”.  I think I have arrived at the beginning of those moments, with myself and in my marriage.  

Well--on to finish this laundry folding while watching the Leopard on Netflix.  I do love a good period drama as a form of self care.  Bettsy gets here very soon, and then we will do our own TV watching.
