Today was an insane day. I finally went to bed at 3:15 this morning and because of the lateness of the hour, I popped a couple of melatonin. They are my new best friends! I got up at the shameful hour of 1:00. That's PM. I don't ever remember sleeping that late, but I can tell you I hit the floor running. 

I was invited to see Minions, which did not disappoint. Wowser! What a funny movie! 

Afterward, I was treated to a scoop of Eskimo Kisses ice cream—coconut ice cream with truffles and fudge. 

So for dinner tonight, at 10:00 PM, I'm eating one of my favorite snacks. Homemade hummus with lots of green:

Hummus can be quite pricey, so I make my own and I'll be sharing a video later on how to make it. It's so easy and so nutritious!

Peace and Love,

Becky Lyn

    Becky Lyn Rickman writes because it is the only way to placate the voices in her head so she doesn't miss out on that precious 45 minutes of sleep every night. Life can become a little congested for her in the 400 sq. ft. apartment in which she lives, intentionally, like a mushroom, pounding at the keyboard in the dark with the unsolicited assistance of her two therapy cats, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy. Yes, they are Austenian. She spends a few hours each day shamefully lamenting the fact that her faith won't allow her to be a profanity-spewing, bourbon-guzzling, burning-the-midnight-oil chain smoker. The rest of the time, she spends in shameless gratitude that her children have not, as yet, put her away.
