Today was such a wonderful day! It was a physical/mental health day for me. I was already off today, so I decided to use it to pamper myself.
Since having such a hard time sleeping this weekend, I have been exhausted. Today, I slept in until 8:30! It felt so great to sleep in, but I think I could have slept longer if I hadn’t known what time it was.
This morning, I finished a paper for the semester! That should be the last draft… fingers crossed.
Since I have been feeling super tired lately, I made a lunch that was full of nutrients and veggies. Just what my body was craving!I had a corn tortilla with Daiya cheese, beans, spinach, avocado, and spicy mustard. Odd combo, but it was delicious! I also had veggies stir fried with kidney beans, salsa, rest of the half of avocado, and of course… hot sauce! 
A ton of tortilla chips may or may not have been consumed. ;)
This afternoon, my sweet friend, Cherie, came over and hung out for a few hours. We talked over some fresh pressed green tea.
I love Cherie because she is such a godly woman who always encourages me and speaks life into me. She is constantly encouraging me through scripture! We all need a Cherie in our lives!! I’m so blessed and thankful to have her.
It was a cold and gloomy day today, so for dinner I made an old favorite of ours. Corn Tortilla Casserole with green beans.
Yum!
To make the day even better, Luvy brought in a package that was delivered. I was home, and I didn’t even hear the mail guy!
It was a sweet package that I won from Jennifer at Peanut Butter and Peppers! In it was a Trader Joe’s gift card and their cookie butter!
Thanks Jennifer!! I have a feeling it is going to be a good snack night!
After not sleeping well this weekend, today was the perfect relaxing and peaceful day that I desperately needed. I felt like God gave me today as a special gift. Sometimes we need friends and specials things to come along and lift us up.
I know I have told you all that I feel guilty for relaxing, especially when Luvy is at work! However, I knew that he wanted me to relax today. I think this was the very first time I have relaxed and not felt guilty. Such a blessing!
Have you all taken a relax day recently?
What helps you to recharge and unwind?
Your dinner looks delicious! I am glad you got a day to relax, I took this Sunday as a me day and just spent the day alone. For me, that is the best form of relaxing and what I need ever once and a while.
Days alone can be fabulous!! I completely agree!
Sometimes we just need a relaxing and pamper day, glad you had yours. I believe in treating our selves once in a while, it will benefits ourselves and everyone around us. Last Friday I treated myself to a pedicure and this Friday I am going to Whole Foods to pick up some veggies and a big salad. Sound weird, but Whole Foods is 35 miles from my house so it’s a hike, so that will be my treat after work. I’m glad you got your package!
