Happy Monday everyone!
Join Sandra and others for Happy Homemaker Monday at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom
The weather
It's sunny! Woo hoo!
Right now I am
Resting up still, sat on the sofa eating cherries and drinking honey and lime juice, waiting for this interminable flu to end. I am so ready to feel health again. The fevers have totally gone but now just congestion and an awful cough. But rest is the answer.
Thinking and pondering
How annoying it is that I can't do all the things I want to do! I missed Bookclub yesterday and I was very mad about that. There are so many jobs around the house I want to do and in the garden. But sometimes God allows illness to force us to rest, so I'm tryyyyyying to be good 😂
How I am feeling
Positive, despite the icky flu. Gotta stay cheerful people. Speak positivity to yourself.
On the breakfast & lunch plate
Blackberries, walnuts, oats, dried cranberries and sultanas with yogurt.
Probably going to have falafels with houmous and guacamole and a bit of salad.
What I am wearing
Still in my jammies...but I have nowhere to go so why not? 😂

Devotional, prayers, Bible verses
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen
The night has passed, and the day lies open before us;
let us prayer with one heart and mind.
As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,
so may the light of your presence, O God,
set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and for ever.
Amen.
Morning prayer, Advent, Monday, 8 December 2025.
Have a beautiful day and week!

Sending you positive vibes so that you start feeling better. I am trying to minimize possessions but I do not want it to feel like nobody lives in the house... I want it to feel like a home ... not just a house. Have a good week
I'm definitely a maximalist too!! I love your sweet kitty💗
Hope you get over your cold very soon!!
Hi Luludou, yes it's good to cut the clutter - a bit of life laundry, but also I like the cosy feel of colours, etc. Hope you have a good week too!
Thanks Granny Marigold, I think I'm on the mend. Coco is just the cutest :)
I hope you get to feeling better soon! I agree with you that the Home Alone house looked better before. I would def not have changed it, that's historical! That's for sure one of our favorite Christmas movies! Your kitty is beautiful! I hope you have a good week! Rest and feel better!
Hi Sarah,
I so love your kitty and this beautiful blog of yours.
Have a nice week
Daniela @ ~ My little old world ~
Thanks Stacy :) hope you have a lovely week too!
Thanks Daniela, hope you have a great week too! :)
Hey Pamela (https://pamelasopenwindow.blogspot.com/) I moved your sweet comment that got attached to a different post :), here it is:
I enjoyed your post so much, but am sorry you are still feeling so under the weather. I have been much the same as you last week...walking pneumonia, but finally today I think I am much better. I didn't go to church yesterday or to the Women's Bible Study today, but I do plan to go to choir practice tomorrow night and our annual ladies' Christmas party/luncheon on Wednesday. I hope I can make it through everything okay. Oh, those pictures of the "Home Alone house" then and now...I'll take the THEN pictures any day. The new ones are just so very boring and bland. How can anyone stand to live like that??? I am also a maximalist, and my house sure shows it. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to get rid of all this stuff around me, and then I think, but what would I look at? I'd be so bored! Your meals sound so good. I just ate some granola and raspberry yogurt for my evening snack. It was very good. I do hope you will be feeling better very soon. It's hard to be sick when Christmas is coming so soon. But yes, like you, I know God had me resting for a reason. But now I'm asking Him for some super charging so I can get everything done on time. Maybe I'm not supposed to do everything I think...
Take care my friend, and get well soon. (((HUGS))) and prayers.
Thanks so much Pamela, being ill at this busy time of the year is so frustrating. I hope you managed to get through everything! Being a maximalist is so much fun LOL Praying that we both get that super-charge we need to get through this busy season! Sending hugs and prayers right back x
So sorry to hear you're not feeling well my Friend. Prayers for feeling like your old self soon. I'm with you that I much prefer the 1990's Home Alone house to now. Geesh. Your kitty is so adorable. Blessings on the rest of your week. xo
Thanks so much Carrie. Coco is such a big fluffy treasure. Hope you have a blessed week too x
I'm sorry you are down with the flu! I hope by the time you read this you're feeling much better! And I'm with you on the Home Alone house, I'll take the 90s version any day! Have a lovely week!
Thanks Sherry, I appreciate that. Have a lovely week too x
I prefer the 90's look too. Looks much more cozy and and more welcoming.
It really does :) x
