When shopping on ebay, always read the descriptions. Some items ship from overseas and can take a few weeks to arrive. Usually the description will state how long shipping might take. Also, for clothing, overseas sizes usually run on the small size so it’s good to order larger by a size or two. Always check the shipping charges. I’m not familiar with these sellers so please do your homework and shop accordingly. Some offer special deals like getting a free item or a percentage off if you buy a certain quantity so be sure you pay attention to that too!

Friday Chat – I Will Never Swim at the YMCA

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

It’s Friday.

And I’ve made a decision. I will never swim at the YMCA.  Since I started swimming again, I seriously thought about getting a Y membership so I could continue swimming year round. But I once promised myself I would NEVER AGAIN get any kind of membership to a gym or the Y. Never.  Just the same, I thought maybe if I could swim, it might encourage me to pay cold hard cash for that activity.

But it’s not about the money.

It’s about the fact that I simply can’t add a daily chore to my list of things to do. I can’t even promise myself once per week. The minute I feel forced to do something, it becomes a horrid chore and I stress over it constantly.

As it is, I’m already suffering over simply going to the lake. I can’t get it out off my mind. Do I go? Do I not go? I hate it.  I hate that I can’t just go if and only if I feel like it and that I can just miss an entire week of swimming if I want.  But with me, it’s all or nothing. Always has been.

And here’s another thing I realize I can’t stand about swimming. It gives me too much time to think. While in the water, my mind goes wild. It like horrid noises in my head. I’ve tried focusing on just work because that’s one thing I like to think about, but it does not work. By the time I leave the water, I’m ready to collapse from the mental exhaustion and I am usually crying all the way home.

It’s not worth it.

I’d rather just continue to be a hermit. It feels better than trying to do other things. Should I force myself to go out?  NO!  There are no shoulds. I deserve to do only things that make me comfortable. I don’t need to be someone I’m not. I don’t need meds to turn me into a “normal” human. I don’t need booze to make my life livable. I can choose to just stay home and live life my way. It’s okay if I never swim.

Here’s what I have on the blog and youtube since my last update…

Watermelon Freezer Pops Recipe
a General Mills Recipe

Check out this huge selection of Betty Crocker Cookbooks!

INGREDIENTS:

check for ingredient coupons here
2/3 cup sugar, divided
1 package (3 oz) lime-flavored gelatin
1 package (3 oz) watermelon-flavored gelatin
3 vanilla yogurts (6 oz each)
2 cups boiling water
1 cup cold water, divided
1/2 cup ice cubes, divided
3 tablespoon miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
16 (3 oz) paper cups and popsicle sticks
(see my tips below)

See All My Patreon Video Titles

DIRECTIONS:

1: Mix 1/3 cup sugar and lime gelatin mix in medium bowl. Add 1 cup boiling water; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to 1/2 cup cold water to measure 3/4 cup. Add to lime gelatin; stir until ice is completely melted. Refrigerate 30 min.

2: Meanwhile, repeat Step 1 using watermelon gelatin mix and omitting the refrigeration step. Pour 2 Tbsp of the watermelon gelatin into each of the 16 (3-oz) paper cups. Freeze 20 min (no more, no less!). Stir 1/2 tsp mini chocolate chips into gelatin in each cup so that they are somewhat evenly spaced.

3: Spoon an additional 2 tbsp yogurt into the cups on top of the red gelatin mixture. Freeze for another 10 minutes. Then gently pour 2 tbsp. of the lime gelatin mixture on top of the yogurt layer in each cup. Insert a stick into each cup, then freeze for 3 hours or until frozen.

Darlene’s Tips:  You can use this same recipe to make other color combinations that might match your particular theme. You can tint vanilla yogurt to any color you like. Experiment!
