Especially since you went through pregnancy twice. I know there were other foods I couldn't eat after pregnancy but jasmine rice was the worst one as I had such horrible morning sickness - all day long. 🙄Guessing you did too.

So glad you didn't get the smoke or possibly fire! We had a few stupid heat spells several times this summer and I promise to not complain about winter weather this coming season. 😁

I don't ever see sunflowers in my part of the world, not in the wild, and not farmed either, but there are a lot of other kinds of flowers. I should keep better track of which ones are in season when - don't think I ever will though lol

Haha.. oh I will.. I hate winter. Am not looking forward to it at all.

I still really need to read those books! I saw the SE of the 3rd one and it's soooo pretty. It's on my Amazon WL 😂 I got my SE of The Games Gods Play today and ahhhhh so pretty, I'm obsessed!

I did >_< I could barely get out of beds for months because I was so sick. Glad I'll never be doing that again 😂 How are you today? <3

Yea, I've had it pre-ordered since it was announced 😆 oh does it have character art.. I love character art 😍 In a couple weeks I hope to get the FL SEs of Powerless. Today I subbed the 2 box combo.. so one sub for 2 books instead of two separate subs now. Just need to get the 3 subber.

There's character art on the inside cover, it's so pretty 😭 I loveddd Powerless so much, I read both books and the novella so fast 😂 They get a lot of hate, but I hope you like it as much as me!

Okay so endpaper art.. that's where they usually put most character art. I also like reverse dust jackets. 🤩 Really I hear everyone loves the Powerless series. Check them out here

I just Goggled: What season are sunflowers associated with? Annual sunflowers bloom during summer and into autumn. Sow new plants every few weeks and you'll enjoy non-stop flowers until the first frost. Perennial sunflowers bloom for a period of 8-12 weeks with some beginning as early as July and others finishing as late as October. But I'm thinking they aren't grown as much in warmer climates?

I probably would hate winter too if I lived where you do. Snow = ugh!!!

I was in bed while pregnant too. Was not fun and I can totally sympathize with you. I'm good just tired as I've had some trouble falling asleep lately. Which is weird because I normally can't stay awake past 9:30. lol

That's cool, sunflowers are great and very pretty, and it's good they can be viewed for so many months (they make great snacks too)

I see a lot of hate about the Powerless books on tiktok. Some readers are so picky about books though lol

Oh no D: That's the worst! I had a friend recommend Melatonin to me recently. Have you tried something like that before?

Yup is ugh. Last year we like none so I'm afraid what might happen this year 🫣

Oh yea I don't go on TikTok, I only have Instagram to follow them, 🤣

- Awww, thank you. :) I'm feeling much better now. I didn't think I'd missed anything but you never know. ;)

- Thanks! Oh, no, your poor little one. And you got it too! I'm glad you're both over it and feeling better. Pneumonia can be such a booger sometimes! :D

- I'm sorry you worried. When I got home from the hospital I was so wiped out I did nothing but sleep for about 2 weeks straight. I'm still tired but apparently that's one sign of kidneys that aren't working properly. I see the kidney doctor tomorrow so, hopefully, I'll know more about what's going on then. How have you been? Enjoying the summer weather? :D

Just now on our local news they were talking to a lady that raises Sunflowers. I took a pic and will share if I can get it uploaded to Igmur. I think I lived off of sunflower seeds when I was younger as I would shell and eat them while reading and I did a lot of reading back then. And I still eat them every night on my salad. Yummy!! lol

Been taking melatonin for years and it generally does the trick. We have so much coming up and while I don't think I'm stressed about it I probably am. This morning I called and rescheduled drawing up our Will until January. Liz's yearly assessment is the end of this month too and tons of other things going on so I'm wondering if that's causing my sleep issues. 🤪

No snow is great. I know how much you and I both detest it!

Hey dear! I'm glad you're feeling better! 🩷

I don't have an instagram 😅 Don't know why just never really wanted one. How are you doing today?

I hope you're appointment goes well today! hugs tight <3 Ewww summer weather, gross lol. I'm ready for fall and winter!

It definitely could be 😭 I struggle to sleep too when I'm stressed or anxious hugs I hope you were able to sleep last night?

Haha yea.. it is shit. I would much rather just have rain 😆

I didn't have it till last year as it's easier to see what they are releasing then fb was. They post more on Instagram. Im good, gotta go grocery shopping today. You?

Ugh grocery shopping, I hope it goes smoothly for you <3 I’m good, tired lol so glad it’s Friday though.

I don't mind it.. gets me out of the house and doing something. It's the best when there's no kids too 😁

I slept like a log!! LOL! 9 hours worth. :-)

And wind. I can't stand it when it's really windy as stuff falls over. I'll take rain any day!!!

hi, glad to see you! Hope you get all the sleep you need.

same as above, hope you get all the sleep you need. Wish I did. I have been sleeping so badly recently!

on the good side, I was productive while not sleeping one night and finished a work thing I'd been stuck on for a while.

I hate it for you. Lack of sleep is the worst and can cause so many negative things regarding one's health.

I'm glad you were able to have something good come out of it! 👏
