SELF CARE SUNDAY

 

[ShannyMcB]

Comfort food is on my list for the day. Going to try to make a batch of “healthy” buckeyes!

Love the memes, thanks for sharing everyone. I’m starting the day out for breakfast, then there will be more sorting and organizing. Yesterday I went thru clothing again and today I’ll be going thru crafting stuff… again. Christmas is getting undone, starting with holiday sheets coming off the bed, and I think the tree will come down tomorrow. Sad, but it is starting to feel like it is in the way.

Today was not really a self care day, but I have definitely had downtime for myself in between busier times. DD’s BF has been staying with us for 10 days and I am beginning to feel the inconvenience of it. He was supposed to be with us until the 2nd but fortunately their New Year’s Eve plans changed so they are leaving for New Jersey tomorrow. Picture me doing cartwheels. This gives me 3 days to get organized and really relax without having him underfoot. It’s been really hard to keep him fed even after buying extra food. I either don’t make enough food or their plans change and I have too much food. Twice a month for 2 days is fine, but if he stayed the two weeks, I might have lost my mind.

DD’s visual team at work always requests my Christmas cookies and rave about them, so I decided to surprise them with New Year’s Eve cookies.

DD’s BF is staying another day. Ugh....this really affects our plans for today.

I guess DH has also been hanging by a thread, because I'm afraid he's about to blow.

Rest in peace Jimmy Carter, 39th President, Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Humanitarian, and so much more.

MOTIVATION MONDAY

 

[Oneanne]

It is Monday, isn't it.

What is motivating me this week? I've known for a while that I need help getting back on track with managing my ADHD and think I have come up with the right thing... I'm going to do several sessions with a local EFT Tapping practitioner. I've done EFT before and am excited to do it again.

Also, I've had several days with low sugar consumption and my mind and body are starting to respond. I'm not quite as stiff and sore, I'm sleeping better, and emotions are starting to come back. All good stuff.

A pot luck at the house of some Lodge friends.

Our plans are to go to the movies and see the new Bob Dylan movie, “A Complete Unknown” with Timothy Chalamet during the day. We will share a bottle of Prosecco and a steak dinner then see how long we last. I rarely make it to midnight these days. If I do, there’s always neighborhood fireworks…

 

[ShannyMcB]

Took today off so it’ll be me and the kids which means I likely won’t make it to midnight!
We typically do takeout then watch year end specials until we doze. Last year the boys stayed up until midnight so we’ll see what this year brings

@Summer2018 I can take the week of the 20th

Well, here we are the last day of 2024!! It’s so hard to believe!!!

My 17 days off (combo of PTO, Fridays off and weekends) has been absolutely completely filled, even though originally I had no plans but life has a way of filling your free time!!!

My granddaughters babysitter closed unexpectedly for 2 weeks due to COVID, RSV and flu. I have taken some extra babysitting days with her this week and DD will be filling in a few days next week since I will be returning to work.

Tonight’s plans are going downtown for drinks, snacks and to look at the lights before everything comes down. It’s a tradition for DH and I…we are usually home by 10 lol.

Tomorrow I am hosting 17 folks for New Year’s Day! Got my tables and chairs set up and I will start the pork and sauerkraut in the early morning! I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year’s Eve!!
