Manflue Is For Real?

Hello everyone! This whole week has been a blur for me, having the worst flue of my life. My nose was raining constantly and my whole body was a wreck. I think I got the "manflue" deluxe! BUT I survived and I am starting to feel better. Counting down the hours until I can go to the gym again. I have felt so restless but at the same time super weak.

I have been pushing the interviews for next week, due to the sickness. So that is something that will come up too. I will also tell my own story about my trauma about witnessing abuse at home. Many has seen my documentary “Say Something” and know how much it affected me. But I have never told my real story of when we lived in the middle of it.

In our home I am the one who cooks. Hector really don’t like cooking. I love to do it, so I am the chief here. One of my goals for this year is to go to a cooking class. I want to get more knowledge of what ingredients goes together and get more delicious ideas. Of course, I want to impress my husband as well.

Hector was asking for a stew the other day. He just wanted some meat with sauce, and I gave my all and tried a recipe. It was so good, I made it 3 days in a row 😅

Right now, hubby is playing PS4 and I need to start cleaning the house, but to be honest, I really don’t feel like doing it today. But the house is a mess.

Have an amazing weekend people 💕
