Googly Eyes

IMG_7170-2Blog

Sleepy morning

this !

I couldn’t sleep again last night. I think this week is just too overwhelming for me! So much to do, and so much on my mind – like the mold that was under Matt’s chest freezer at the old place and wondering if it is on any of our other stuff? [Note the chest freezer is now in the yard waiting to be sold/Goodwilled/trashed depending on clean-up ability]

IMG_7155-2Blog

I was awake and 4:30 and didn’t fall back asleep until 6. I came down to do some blog reading (my Google Reader has been totally neglected since the most!)

I’m feeling pretty run down today. Maybe today I will be able to take a nap. My schedule is much clearer than yesterday.

IMG_7169-2Blog

I have a brand-new loaf of Cville Crunch, so I dressed that up for breakfast with Barney Butter, banana (sliced not smashed!), flax and coconut

IMG_7165-2Blog

With coconut tea

Tea-12BlogIMG_7154-2Blog

So fun to find new places for photoshoots!

Hope you all have a happy & fun day.

    I hate when I can’t sleep. Girl, I feel your pain! It is the worst! But naps always cure it for me (as long as they are not toooo long. Heh).

    I am a fan of toast with a nut butter-so filling and delicious.Yours looks simply scrumptious. Oh and cheers to getting a nap in for you today! 🙂

    I do not like it when I do not get sufficient sleep, which is how it was for the past week for me. I kept waking up each morning with a sinus headache. I found that the culprit was the dust on our ceiling fan above our bed, which I call fan dander (LOL) :). So, I cleaned the fan, and have not had a sinus headache since–YAY!!!

    I know you’re not really into bleach, but pure bleach will make the mold disappear almost magically. Since mold isn’t something to mess with, it might be worth consideration. Good luck!

      I must agree! I’m not nearly as green as kath or a lot of other people are, but I still AHTE bleach… the smell, the burning chemicals, ugh. However my Husband and I had a big mold problem in our last apartment (its why we moved) and good ole bleach and water was the only thing to take it and the musty smell away.

      If anyone knows of a green product that REALLY works for mold I would love to hear about it 😀

    We had a mold problem with our chest freezer too. After reading the manual we learned it need 3 inches of air space on all sides. We cleaned the freezer with vinegar (it kills mold better than bleach) and placed the freezer up on pallets. It isn’t the prettiest, but it was a free fix and we’ve had zero problems since the change. A little airflow goes a long way 🙂 Good luck!

      Ah! I’ll have to try vinegar since bleaching is scary (my bathroom doesn’t have a fan so the ceiling gets mildewed easily). Does it matter if it’s cider or white or other?

    I would recommend doing some yoga to aide your sleep, if you can fit it in. Relieve some tension and calm your mind. Sometimes it seems like the more tired you get, the harder it is to relax and sleep deeply.
