A Tad Bit Exhausted

What can I say? I went to sleep late and I woke up early! I was awake until about 12:20am. I usually don't stay up that late and I thought maybe I wouldn't be able to sleep, but I drifted off. But then I woke up around 6:30am and just couldn't go back to sleep. I was tired though, but I just kept working on my To Do List. I got a lot of it done early - took my morning meds, fed the Betta fish, gave Karissa treats . . . When it was time I let Jordan know it was time to take his med. Then I started a letter to one of my prisoner friends. I couldn't really work on my story though. Being tired like this creates problems for me. I just can't seem to concentrate. It's kind of why I didn't get far with my letter either. Putting those words together is challenging. LOL! At least like this! Tomorrow my goal is to finish the letter and get it out in the mail, but I have to get sleep tonight! I think I'll be going to sleep early tonight. That would solve everything! Well, the writing part of things anyway! ;-)

I made dinner tonight. I cooked my Taco Rice Dinner. The rice had too much liquid left, but it didn't take away any of the taste! It was delicious served in soft tortillas with shredded cheese and sour cream! It is so simple to make! I might post the recipe. I mean, literally, it doesn't get much easier. Okay, I'll post the recipe now.

Taco Rice Dinner

2 pkgs of Taco Rice sides

1 lb ground turkey

1 packet Taco Seasoning

Tortillas

Fiesta Shredded cheese blend

Sour Cream

Anything else you want to use as a topping

Prepare rice according to pkg directions. I use the microwave directions. While that's cooking, cook your ground turkey - can spice with garlic powder, black pepper and maybe a little salt. Don't drain because you don't have to. Add the taco seasoning to the cooked turkey and mix in well. 

Once the rice is done, add the ground turkey to it and mix together. Serve in tortillas and top with the cheese and sour cream or anything else you might want to add.

Last thing, enjoy! It generally serves 4-6 people I think. 

Anyway, it's a hit around here. It makes me happy to be able to cook. I didn't really feel up to it tonight, but it was just so easy. So I threw it together and though there was a little too much liquid in the rice, it didn't take away any of the flavor! :-) It's nice to be able to cook easy but yummy dinners. I want to start getting into using the crock pot more too!

What else can I say? Not much, I guess! LOL! I am just freakin' tired. Think I'm going to take a quick bath, take my night meds and go to sleep . . . I think sleep will be good tonight and I look forward to tomorrow. It's MY birthday! Not that there's anything planned, but it will just be a good day. I know it will!

That's it for this note from my insane mind! We'll see how sane I'll be tomorrow! ;-)
