Hi y'all! Happy Monday!
I am not 100% yet - nor do I really even feel close to being near to that point. However, I am still fighting and working on getting there, no matter how long it takes. It may end up taking a really long time, and a lot more doctor appointments.
I've been able to work part-time - almost every work day, in the afternoons. I seriously have the best bosses and coworkers, they have been amazingly supportive and understanding. I'm blessed to work for a company that cares for their employees!
Anyway, although I haven't been able to do as much, I'm still making it a point to do some stuff. Being outside is a huge must for me. If I were to spend all my time inside the house, I would go mad.
It's always fun to explore around the area. Nathan and I came across Melton Hill Park not too long ago. There are some trails that you can walk/run/bike/etc. Once I feel better, I would like to go walk the trails!

Another must for me = BOOKS.
I absolutely LOVE our local used bookstore - McKay's! Just browsing around, I found the complete Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris (for under $5.00)!! If you watched/watch the HBO show, True Blood, these are the books the show was based off of! I can't wait to read the series and see how different or similar it is to the show!
I've been spending a LOT of my time out on the patio. It has definitely been warm and humid, but I still love being "outside."
I haven't been able to workout in what seems to be forever. I finally was recently able to go outside and walk around the neighborhood. We have a fairly steep hill that is great for walking up & down. I need to build up my strength back, so simply walking around seems like the best way to start.
I can't forget about my Young Living Essential Oils. The oils play a major part when it comes to my wellness and health.
After showing positive for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, I learned my lesson the hard way - always wear bug repellant when outdoors. If you are like me, I hate wearing bug spray. It smells awful and is greasy. I decided to use my oils and make my own!
DIY Young Living Essential Oils Bug Spray Blend:
14 oz witch hazel
15 drops lemongrass essential oil
15 drops citronella essential oil
10 drops of lavender essential oil
6 drops of peppermint essential oil
Combine, pour into spray bottle(s) - (I like the travel size), and shake well!
It smells amazing, and doesn't leave me feeling gross at all!
Note: You can always alter the blend of ingredients to your own liking/preferences!
The travel size bottle is perfect for keeping in my purse!
Questions!
* Do you wear bug spray regularly, or only for camping, hiking, etc.?
* Do you have a favorite book store?
* Where is/are your favorite place(s) to walk around?
