June is a really hard month for me, so I apologize that I haven’t been very consistent this month. I have health issues and grief issues. And I know they are intertwined. But I keep pushing forward because what else is there to do? I wake up every morning despite my emotional or physical state. My mind doesn’t stop even when my body does. I learned many years ago that sometimes, even having enough energy to dust the window sill is a victory.
This past week, we had no power except to our refrigerator and microwave. I’m grateful we have a gas stove and water heater. Nonetheless, it was hot and I didn’t feel like cooking. One of the things I did was buy precooked pasta, and made this delicious salad.
It has carrots, mushrooms, black olives and celery, dressed with a fat free Italian dressing. We’ve been eating a lot of salads lately. Our power was off for almost a week, and has been back on since Saturday, but we’re having record highs. Loving the simplicity of just grabbing a handful of greens and tossing them together with a few fresh veggies.
What are you eating on these hot summer days?

You are way hotter than we are here in Florida. Be careful, Betty!

We are…but it’s dry here so it doesn’t feel as bad as the 100% humidity you get! Lol!
