Nothing much to do when it rains for weeks straight. I’m not sure about the groundhogs prediction this year.  the little rodent stated that we had 6 more weeks of winter; yet it has been raining and in the high 50s for the past week.  And this week brings more rain and warm weather.  YAY FOR MUD!!!!!!

Last night was a protein bar making spree.
I am contemplating the fact that processed foods suck, and I eat a lot of kirkland brand protein bars on the go, so I turned the the trusty old pinterest and put together a compilation of some protein bars..

So For this week, These are on the menu:
Mocha Brownie Protein Bars
5 Ingredient Paleo Peanut Butter Bites/Bars

I can’t wait to try them, The Paleo Ones look great, But I am apprehensive on the Mocha Brownie ones, I wound up having to put them in the freezer because they are not setting up, but they also had said to use egg protein powder.. and I only have whey protein powder.  So I wound up putting 1 extra scoop of whey protein and only 2/3rds of the coffee…  But, the batter tasted phenomenal so I can’t wait to try that.

This weekend I can finally relax.. it’s been 5 weekends straight of on call, But, I have a feeling this is going to be another rough week.  We are loosing a family member to a Grade IV astrocytoma and hospice said it is any day now.

And speaking of cancer related issues, I had a broodmare that a vet had through had cancer on her face, we took x-rays of that, and found out she has a tumor, so as soon as she has her baby we can take it off.. Thank God it’s not cancer. And apparently they found a cure for cancer..  I wonder about that though, because the last time holistic doctors were coming close people started dying.   I did have a friend have breast cancer recently, and she opted not for radiation and chemo…  she instead, went completely vegan and on a lot of natural supplements, including mushrooms and CBD oil.
I cannot say I blame her.   I see a lot of death in my line of work and I see people give up the fight due to quality of life.   If I was faced with these decisions, I would not undergo those treatments, I believe I would use tinctures and cbd oils to have a better quality of life while my time was limited.. and go live out my final days where I’m happy.  and probably tell a lot of people how I really felt..
Either that, or get on my motorcycle and head for the end of the road off a cliff Thelma and Louise style.. haha  and with that.. I am off to start my work week.
