Breathing through the exercises is key and you never know when another gym member is about to cross through your personal space on busy days. ~grin~ Your mention of the wind surprised me that you don't have some sort of measuring instrument. Is that a thing? I'm clueless.

I wake up at anchor and make sure the lights look the same, often deprived I need the morning coffee so bad. But it's easy to take naps. Usually no phone ringing, no UPS deliveries out here, neighbors call on the VHF before they stop. love living the winter on a boat inthe Caribbean. Thanks for the blog!!

Brushing is one of those things i do while reading blogs in the morning, so i don’t tend to forget.<br /><br />That was a good call on the whole wheat pasta. If you are looking for a healthier alternative, trying using one of those spiralizer things that makes veggies into spaghetti strings. Steam them and serve them with a good sauce and they are actually tasty.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-83940302026093696352018-03-16T17:55:05.279-07:002018-03-16T17:55:05.279-07:00My brainwaves without morning coffee are zero, nad...My brainwaves without morning coffee are zero, nada, flatline.

So I add a small tablespoon of Carnation Rich and creamy chocolate mix. It's decadent. Hmm good. I brush my teeth probably 3 to 4 times a day. I think it's a phobia. I hate food stuck in my teeth. Especially bacon. I love bacon. Hi, Ellen!!! Sorry I haven't been around much. Another month of poor internet and I'm back in Canada with none.

We like to forget our shoes when we go to shore. And the dog's leash. Why can't we remember the simplest things? How did we ever hold down real jobs? I'm just not sure!

There...Yes, all vessels are female. Or should be.<br /><br />There is great comfort in being secure to a dock when the wind is howling. I so agree with that.<br /><br />I've not brushed my teeth yet this morning, but I'm enjoying my first cup of coffee.

It was one of the best most memorable experiences of my life just sitting on the dock watching the sun sink below the horizon and hearing the boats and water in the background. While I don't think I could ever own a boat, I don't think I could ever get tired of being at a marina.<br /><br />And yes, I have definitely gone out in the morning and thought I forgot to do something (brush my teeth, shut the garage door, turn off the hair straightener, turn off the oven, etc…). Luckily, most of the time it either doesn't matter (teeth brushing) or I did remember to do it … I just forgot that I remembered. ;)Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415510811585368037noreply@blogger.com
