I’m all used up. I feel like chronic exhaustion is very bad for my emotional health but I can’t afford to stop. I’m bitchy and resentful reading about ppl going on vacation and I’m working myself to an inch of my life. No one appreciates me. My husband yells if I spend to much at Walmart- wait till he finds out what real women are like
Sunrise continued to be colorful from pre dawn until sunrise

This was just before sunrise, while it was still dark. I love that you could already see some color in the sky at pre dawn.

Our older Almond tree is blooming. It hasn't had the right conditions over the past few years. So happy to see these blossoms

Today is the 5th Anniversary of one of the most horrible things that happened to me. In 2013 I was living in my paid-for home. I had taken in my eldest daughter and her 2 children, for the second time, 2 years prior. My daughter and her fiance told me that they were going to buy their own home. They invited me to sell my house and invest my money in the new home and live with them. This would relieve me of trying to care for a home I could no longer handle due to disabilities and I could help with childcare and household chores. It was a win-win for all. Until... in 2021 they kicked me out without my money. Still going through the courts to get my money back. I was also tossed out of the family with no communication since that day.
I still have no idea why this happened.
So here I sit today in a shoebox seniors suite in poverty. Today is the 5th anniversary of my move here. I'm hoping my court case will end this chapter of my life. The money is important but the betrayal is a deep scar I will always carry.
Happy Anniversary to me. 😪

I used puff pastry and jam/jelly to make these delicious treats.
I opened up the store bought puff pastry until it lay flat. Then sliced it into 3 strips using a pizza cutter on the fold lines. I then cut each strip in half. At this point you should have 6 pieces. Do the same with the 2nd sheet of puff pastry. I then added 1 tablespoon of jam/jelly into the center of each of the 6 rectangles leaving about an inch between jelly and edge, then take a matching rectangle and place it on top of each of the jelly filled rectangles. I used an egg slightly beaten to brush around the edges of the rectangle and used a fork to press around the edges to help form a seal and prevent the jelly from leaking out during baking. I also brushed the egg over the top of each filled poptarts rectangle and used a sharp knife to make 2-3small slits into top of poptarts to allow steam to escape. Place on baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. After cooling, I mixed 1/2 cup powdered sugar and a little water and mixed to form a glaze to drizzle over poptarts.

The other day was a bad pain day, yet I had to make dinner. I decided to try a homemade Hamburger Helper.
I diced and sauteed 1/4 of a medium onion, then browned 1/2 pound of ground turkey (I cannot eat beef but you can substitute it in) 1 TBSP of smoked paprika (reg paprika if you don't have smoked, 1 TBSP chili powder, 1 Tsp each of onion and garlic powder, added in 2 heaping TBSP of tomato paste. Once it's all combined with the meat and onion mixture, I added 1 1/2 cups of beef broth and 1 cup of uncooked elbow macaroni. Bring it up to a boil then reduce heat to medium or medium low to allow for a steady simmer. Simmer for 15-18 minutes then remove from heat and add 1 cup of cheddar cheese and stir, let sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
It tasted good and was so simple and quick. Because I wasn't feeling well (bad pain day), I forgot to snap a pic to share.
