We are having a Thanksgiving casserole tomorrow for the holiday - but this afternoon, we decided to try the "New China" chinese restaurant, in Coalinga, for a special treat 😘 to kick off the holiday season.
While drinking my morning coffee ☕️, I noticed that my Minerva is really pumping out the blossoms; when all is done, the spendy flowering bulb will have paid for itself with the breaking even steady bloom 🌸😊
The bonus Minerva Amaryllis blossoms, do not last as long as the 1st burst of color. The subsequent blossoms fade & wither away, in 2 day's time.
I removed the spent blossom & snipped out the throat stamens, to stave off allergies.
I also had time to spend time toning up 💪 before Holland was fully woke and alert: working muscles while streamlining my weight is a smart way to break even while staying healthy. Skin loses it's elasticity with each passing year 🤔 - I do not want to be thinner with hanging skin that resembles marsh moss on mature bayou trees due to poor muscle tone.
YUK!
I'm doing intermediate fasting with the toning exercises; eating smaller portions of normal Homestyle meals & an occasional out0of-home meal. Crash diets 🙄 and lose skin 😒 is not for me:
Bodyweight Side Toe Touch exercise.

Knee Cross To Elbow exercise.
On our way to collect supper, I scratched my scratch cards; and broke even. I'm okay with that - it's a fun anticipation, and at least the $ spent to purchase them was recouped 😉
I broke even - it takes so little to make me happy 😂🤣
Holland turned the scratch cards in, in town … and came back to Betsy with more cheap thrills for me 👌 I don't need to have a lot of money spent on me to be happy 👩❤️💋👨
Back home, we ate our special treat supper; it was okay, but I think it had preservatives in it that caused me a bit of stomach trouble - Holland didn't suffer an ill effects, so I told him he can finish the rest of it all off by himself, later on tonight 🤝
Chinese supper was okay; I don't think we'll go back though.
It was good, just have a very fickle digestive system 😟 and have to be careful with what I eat. I love chinese food, and most of the time it loves me back: but, there are times like tonight 🤦🏻♀️, where the love is not reciprocated 😔
Before getting back to work on my WIP, I scratched off my new scratch card - and will get a free card instead of cash, next time. That's okay, too; I'm just having fun. If I manage to win big, I'll whoop with excitement … if not, breaking even is not a disappointing loss 👍
Again, I just broke even …

I slipped my meager winning card into my purse, tuned into the Victor Davis Podcast 💻, & picked up my newest project ✅

The rest of the evening is going to pass in slo-mo mode 🐌 as relaxation and staying informed 📣 breaks even 😊
