Lots of fresh foods to eat this week though! Making healthy butter chicken for dinner tonight (I’m obsessed!)

Planting Parsley
So I found some wonderful recipes that call for parsley. A LOT OF PARSLEY! So I am adding some to my patio garden so that it makes it a bit easier for me to grab when cooking. I will move some over to the main garden when they sprout.
Our basil is coming in like crazy with all the wonderful hot days that we have had. We have had some rain also, which always helps.
This is a nice project for me. Its not too big, the maintenance shouldn’t be bad at all. It gives me something to do and tend to with my hands and isn’t something to distract me from better nutrition. If I have to tend to this planter a few times a week, it reminds me what my goals are and to keep going.
After a stressful few hours with a new “significant” this weekend over a miscommunication, whew, getting back to doing this planter was great for my soul. Hands in the dirt, cool and damp. I am looking forward to harvesting all the herbs this will give us. I have my dehydrator up here so I can use that with the overflow that is sure to come for Christmas gifts this year!!
Back to the emotional “moment” I had come up for me. Though I was challenged with communicating in the beginning, I did not give up. I let time go by for both of us to cool. When I reached out then I was still facing challenges that by then really rocked my world and fear of loss and change AGAIN was coming. I called a friend and talked and then I sat for a few to just feel. Just let my emotions come to the surface. Like in meditation. I just noticed them and did my best to just let them leave as they came. Though I was crying, I knew I was better at that moment at dealing than many other “moments” in my life over the years.
Yes I have more ME time now than I ever have had. I don’t know what ....no, I do know. I do know what I had done if this happened years ago and I had kids to protect, to shield from the drama of adults living and learning until things calmed. I would have been crying but when asked by a kid in my home or in the car, I would be wiping my tears, blowing my nose and answering that I have had a bit of a verbal disagreement with a friend and that I am sad. But I am better now. And pushed that crap down and “deal with it later”. But later, LATER turns into get home, round up kids for bed, homework, dishes, sweeping, whatever else that I hadn’t gotten to yet to distract me from it. Then another emotional bubble is swallowed and heads for my hips!!
I don’t remember ever really sitting down and eating just “because I was upset” but more that I have done a lot today, I am tired. So it was then that I would stop to gobble something then go to bed! Sleep and stress on a full stomach...hello adrenaline make yourself at home cortisol!!
I did take my time driving home after getting things settled the other night. Played the radio loud and sang like crazy. No that we would be able to up and be able to drive with the blaring radio for 2+hrs every time we are upset, but we must figure out what works for us at the moment to calm down. Our bodies need to be tended to. Daily. I feel like I am getting better at it myself. What things do you do to keep your stress levels down? Are you working on outlets? What is working for you?
