Small rose bush I photographed in Manitou Springs, Colorado

I didn’t do much last week. I didn’t take any of my photos for the 30 day photography challenge either. A few days I forgot and others I was just not interested and my camera stayed in the bag.

The week was a big ol’ mishmash of nothing special and somehow the days just went ::whoosh:: right on by! I did have an appointment with my nurse practitioner and that appointment led me to get an x-ray for my left knee, it clicks when I go up stairs, and I’m going in for a PT eval this coming Saturday. During that same appointment we discussed my dark cloud of health stuff and she basically determined I have PCOS. I don’t have many of the typical symptoms and we’ll address more about it in a month after I try to make some lifestyle changes. Oh boy, lifestyle changes, that word is like a broken record in my life.

The week didn’t take an upswing until Saturday when I spent five hours at my cheesecake class.

Oh boy, yum.

And I understand in the same post I mention health stuff and PCOS and then talk about making a cheesecake in a baking class. Don’t judge. The class was planned over a month ago and, well, I still wanted to take the class even though I don’t plan to make another cheesecake for quite some time.

Back to that cheesecake. I have to end this post on a positive note!

Regular cheesecake with lemon curd and raspberry jam on top. Hello, amazing! The type of amazing that makes a person mumble Oh.My.God. While the regular cheesecake was baking away we made a savory cheesecake you’d serve as an appetizer with a southwest kick to it–one word, delicious. And I’ll share the wealth with all of you in coming posts.

So that’s my past week. A few thorns with a rosy finish. I just need to learn how to nip the thorns in the butt. I let them grow way to big it seems lately.

How was your weekend?
