I got it out the other day and way horrified to find little bugs floating to the top while I was rinsing it off. GAG! BARF! I already store all my new flour products in the freezer, and now the grains are going in there, too. I just take enough out at a time that I know I'll use in a week. But ew! So, I never made the barely casserole I had my heart set on.
I've been terrible with exercise. It's winter here, and all I want to do is stay wrapped up in a blanket on the couch. You'd be surprised what a few weeks of this will do to a middle aged lady. The other night I was at the barn with my horse, just doing basic grooming and hoof care. By the end, my legs were shaking (from bending over a lot), and I was winded. From brushing a horse. God forbid I'd need to run for my life for any reason because I'd be dead after about ten feet. All my life I've been able to muscle through the fatigue and keep on going, but not any more. So, if you're reading my journal and you're under the age of 50, for the love of Mike get fit and stay fit. It really does get worse the older you get. You'll blink and be a blob of jello before you know it. And, to make matters worse, it affects my ability to ride. The horse doesn't appreciate an out of shape fatty bouncing around on his back. And, my horse is fat, out of shape and middle aged himself which makes matters worse. So, the nag and I will be taking long, slow walks in the snow together. In addition, I need to start strength training. My older sister was diagnosed with low vitamin D and osetopenia. Inactively and diner food have not been our friends, no matter how much fun we had together.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
