I haven't written much lately, largely because I haven't been feeling 100%. Nothing serious: hot flashes, headaches, backaches, skin rashes...and a disconcerting level of fatigue.

Of course, being the supposed hypochondriac that I  am, I did extensive research on this and everything points to 1.) going through "the change" and 2.) the aging process, in general.

I'm certain having a GI-tract virus last weekend didn't help boost my health, that's for certain.

I decided to take it easy and lay off the cardio and weight lifting. Rather than resort to wholehearted slug-dom, I did manage to put in a few hours of landscaping work around the yard over the course of the week. I also did some cleaning and organizing projects, and managed to try a new recipe for a soup that uses the kale that arrived my mystery box of veggies. It also utilized some of the potatoes and an onion from the great veggie box.

I'll reproduce the recipe here sometime soon.
