Firstly, I’d like to thank the author, Mike Russell for sending a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This isn’t the first time Mike Russell has taken me on a journey into his strange world. I’ve previously reviewed his first book ‘Nothing is Strange.’ So might think, I’d be prepared to go on another strange journey into Mike Russell’s Stange Medicine. But, you’d be mistaken. Strange Medicine is a collection of eight short stories, each progressively weirder than the next. And it’s great for those who enjoy zany and macabre stories and are looking for a short read.

September started with more decluttering. It’s started to cool down here. So I started tackling my garage, at first I thought it was going to be a huge task that would take a while. But turns out it’s not as bad as I thought it’d be. Most of the stuff in there will be donated, so it’s mainly going through boxes and sorting things out. As I’m writing this, I’m about halfway through it.

I redid one of my nightstands and the wall behind it looked plain. So, I made a new wall hang out of leftover material. I went with the moon phases because I thought it would match the look of my new nightstand set up. Plus I knew it would be easy to put together, and I wouldn’t have to go to the store to pick up anything. I’m really frugal, so I like to use my creativity to create things on a budget. I search thrift stores, the bargain bins of craft stores, or around my apartment for materials. Then I think of things I can make out what I’ve found.

When is the last time you nourished your soul? We tend to take care of your physical body exercising or eating healthily. But your spiritual body is often ignored. In order to live a happy and thriving life, all aspects of self-care must be acknowledged in order to maintain your overall well-being. So when you notice an area of your life needs some attention. Shift your focus to improve those areas and boost your overall well-being.

I ordered a few packs of soy curls from amazon and they’ve have become my new favorite thing. When I ordered my soy curls I also ordered Butler’s Chik-Style Seasoning. The soy curls are dehydrated strips of soy protein and when rehydrated they have a chewy texture that’s reminiscent of chicken. Its flavor is neutral and is the perfect palate for different sauces and seasoning blends like the Chik-Style Seasoning. It reminds me of the seasoning packet in ramen. They’re easy to work with too. And since I meal prep for lunch, I’ve been thinking of ways to incorporate them into my lunches for work.
