Last Sunday I decided I was worthy of a treat and more caffeine so I went to a cafe to read some and feast on sugar 🙂 I was gifted this book ‘Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear’ by Elizabeth Gilbert. Didn’t expect a lot, but it turns out it’s really inspiring. Talks about how to tap into a creative life. Fears we might have about failing and what’s stopping us…
Close to this cafe there is a library. I never checked it out and decided it was time. It was big and really cool. They had a room where people were selling their arts & crafts. There is also an art gallery and they decorated the room for the Mexican ‘Day of The Dead’. Reminded me that I want to make an ofrenda at home for Halloween. In simple terms you set up an altar with pictures of your loved ones that passed. This is so they can cross over and come visit you. You also put things or food that they liked by the altar. A great Disney cartoon movie about the celebration and meaning of the Day of the Dead is called ‘Coco’. Its really good!
The book about creativity got me going, so it must be working! Pardon the mess in the background…
Even went and bought a sewing machine! Unfortunately when I got home and unpacked it, I saw it has already been used 🙁 Annoying, but going to go and get it replaced with a new one!
Had an appointment with a plastic surgeon about my lip filler. Ages ago I had something permanent injected in them. I want to redo my lips and get out whatever is in there. We Googled and even called the office where I got them injected, but the nurse couldn’t answer if it was dissolvable. Google could’t even find the injected substance. This surgeon said, to remove it by surgery might f*ck them up beyond fixing. He recommended a lip lift. Will have to wait until my joint issue is solved, and then I’ll see 🙂
On a positive note about my joints, I now have an MRI scheduled for next week. Also seeing a rheumatologist. All this will hopefully give some answers, because it’s exhausting! In the meanwhile I take cold baths. I throw in a bag with ice and I finish my showers with cold water. Also have these electrical patches that give some relief…
Also trying to go on walks as moving my body does help! You can see how excited I am 😉 Spotted this cute cat in the neighborhood which was far more interesting!
I was a bit slower on my other ‘creative’ job, but expect me to be more energetic and organized this week 🙂
When I was younger I sometimes went playing car-Bingo with my mom. Like regular Bingo, but people sit in their cars on a parking lot and you honk if you get Bingo. I love Bingo! So at Red Rock Hotel here in Vegas, they have a big Bingo hall. They have a themed hour of the game on Thursdays. Angel and I decided to go and check it out. The theme was Y2K so we dressed the part 🙂 I also love costumes parties so this was a win win.
What we didn’t expect was it to be this popular! Doors open at 8pm and it started at 9pm. There was a looooong line to get it. And once inside, people were partying like it was NYE! There was a DJ and we got light sticks or whatever they are called. This was a modern type of Bingo where everything was handled by a computer or tablet. You just sat and watched the screen and it alerted you how close you were. In our case, how close to winning we were not 🙁 When someone yelled Bingo the whole hall erupted, cheering and just yelling. Dancing on the tables and just going wild. It was hilarious and I will definitely go back!
Decided on a hike on Saturday by the Red Rocks. Sunny and blue skies when heading out.
Half way through the hike it starts getting cloudy and I get a Flood Warning on my phone. Didn’t think much of it and it was still hot…
Then the skies turn dark and the wind picked up. It cooled down fast and I was pretty sure I was going to get caught in a rainstorm! I got lucky and the downpour started as I was driving home!
Yesterday I picked up Angel and we checked out the Historic Railroad Hiking Trail. Very cool and I’ll show pics in my next post…
Angel and I agree that we are the worst partners to be around each other, since we both support each other when it comes to consuming sugar. This week we detoured into Ethel M Chocolates. They got amazing chocolates so you can’t really blame us!
I also watched when the dog trainer was giving Angel’s 3 divas som training. He managed to get a little order in them hahahaaa…
Lastly a pic of me enjoying my morning caffeine outside and Hunter enjoying not having any responsibilities! I want to be Hunter in my next life!
Now I’m going to figure out what today and this week has in store for me 🙂 Have a good one!
Laters, Puma
