Monday Musings

I have no idea exactly how I stumbled upon ExOfficio but with Lupus you can’t be in the sun as it can bring a flare. When I saw this hoodie, I decided that I needed it so that I would have something light coloured, light weight and had sun protection in it.  This hoodie fits the bill.  I have a few lightweight hoodies from other stores but I think this will become my new favorite.  I really think it would be a great birthday present.  I think that the company would make a great sponsor of people with illnesses like Lupus where sun is not good for you.
Email Spam / Junk mail = Pet PeeveÂ
I swear it’s the worst in my yahoo account which I’ve had the longest. Â I can’t just delete the account as I have that set up as my main internet email. Â I’m selling my daughter’s last Irish dance dress because she retired and the sites I have it on use that address. Â I really don’t like the format for yahoo mail, I’ve become a fan of gmail but someone has my nickname.
My Brain
I’ve had THREE migraines this past week. Â I’m going to take it as the brain exercises work! Â I have another appointment today and am happy that the hubby gets to go with me.
Autoimmune Updates
I’ve been getting rashes on my hands, one arm and my upper thighs. Â They blister then scar and this is a totally normal thing for the Lupus. Â I feel like all I do is sleep, journal, appointments and sleep again or I have insomnia. Â I have to start scheduling things I want to do and if I don’t do it I need to figure out why. Â More paperwork.
Subscription Boxes
Birchbox sent a we’re sorry code to the Canadian subscribers that was 10% off and free shipping. Â I had 700 points so Iordered two of the full size Amika dry shampoo. Â My daughter will get her own and I will HIDE mine. Â I’m cancelling Birchbox for a while. Â It’s a good value but I have enough sample size items to take on several trips. Â My July Birchbox is blah so that solidified my cancelling it.
I received my Elizabeth and Clarke shirt order. Â I only got two this time as theywere the ones I only liked. Â The Kelley is a soft ballet pink tank style dressy blouse and it fits perfect. The other top was the Emilia and it’s a classic white linen long sleeved top with roll up sleeves. Â I have already cancelled my order for the fall as I jumped in on their Unstoppable tops with stain resistance built in. Â Those will come in September.
I signed the pupalups up for a three month Barkbox because they had a deal with an extra toy. Â After their first box, I sent an email that they needed to be in the heavy chewers club. Â They have only destroyed the Bee Bumm and really don’t get the treat dispensing toy.
Other Musings
Hubby made steaks last night and they were really good. Â He had heard about pan searing but then heard this other way. Even though they were well done they were still awesome tasting steaks. Â I have to thank the girlie because she went to the grocery store because she wanted to make some Thai noodles. Â We never got the noodles? Â I have to check my planner because I don’t know if my appointment is at 11am or 4pm. Â Brain fog and forgetfulness suck.
I think its time for a tea. Â What are you plans for the week?
Journey with me…mini2z
PS that’s Ranger over to the right in my Instagram feed photo. Â That’s how he sleeps most of the time.
