Ending the Sick Daze and Cake Baking

Hey! Well, Jimmy and I are finally starting to feel better since our sick daze last week. Yay! I ended up at the doctor earlier this week and was diagnosed with a sinus infection.

I had a feeling that would be the case, as similar to last time I had a sinus infection, my teeth hurt every time I did anything that would shake my body or head (apparently, your sinuses can press on your oral cavity if they’re swollen…lol). Thankfully, I was able to get some antibiotics and am on the mend.

Jimmy and I were talking about how thankful we are that we live in a country where we can simply go to the doctor and get medicine. From the time I went to the doctor to when I was taking my first dose of antibiotics was only a few hours. What a blessing.

I’ve been spending the week working (pet sitting and real estate work/photography) and wedding cake baking! Surprisingly, I don’t have a lot of pictures from the week. I have one from pet sitting and one from Starbucks.

It turns out Starbucks has pretty tasty smoothies! The one I had was chocolate and banana flavored.

While I didn’t take a lot of pictures, I did film two vlogs. In one week! Crazy.

The first one was completely random. I was a total sick zombie and had awkward encounters with the people who replaced our gutters. I’m so glad we had our gutters and fascia replaced! It makes such a difference in the look of our house 🙂

I filmed the wedding cake baking vlog on Thursday, and was starting to feel better and less zombie-ish. I’m getting nervous for the big baking day!

Well, I’m going to get going. I have a busy weekend ahead! I’m excited for Saturday because I’m going to a ladies lunch at our church. It’s always such a fun time of fellowship and great food.

What are you doing this weekend?

Currently: October 2017

Current beauty product Burt’s Bees vanilla bean lip balm. My lips have been so dry since the start of fall.

Current goal Still wanting to finish writing my book before the end of the year!

Current craving Getting out and about to use my camera more. Jimmy and I went to a fall festival this weekend, and I brought my camera along to take pictures of the scenery. It was lovely and had me wondering why I don’t bring my camera out with me more often.

Beautiful stream and trees in the fall

Current food Marbled banana bread by Smitten Kitchen. My mom made a loaf for me recently and it’s banana and chocolatey perfection.

Current prayer One of my pet sitting clients found out his dog has cancer. The pup is having surgery tomorrow, so I’m praying all goes well.

Current question If you’re a coffee drinker, do you prefer Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, or another brand of coffee?
