Make Your Own Luck - March 2025 W.I.S.H. Thread

Love the flowchart!

I'm motivated to tackle lifestyle this week. (I can't read the smaller word above it on my phone.)

I've noticed lately that I've been spending too much time on screens instead of other things that I really like to do (or need to do). I'm working on noticing my energy patterns and trying to work with them.

I have the same problem. I'd have to get rid of the phone

A good breakfast

All day yesterday the local media was hyping that a life-threatening storm was going to blow thru the region in the evening. Thankfully it turned out to be just a regular ol' storm with lightening and some wicked thunder, but not much rain or wind and no damages. And bonus thankful, the sun is out this morning.

Also, thankful that I've met most of my immediate neighbors and they are all nice and I'm thankful that while there are kids living in the complex there aren't any close to me.

And thankful that my Disney trip is now only 44 days away. I'm still surprised by what a difference the overnight trip to Victoria made and looking forward to the restorative powers of a longer trip. I'm even going to add a few at-home days on either end to get the most out of it.

Not much yet - we had a late night so everyone slept in. I'm sitting with the cat having my coffee:

This has been an interesting week. The Mercury retrograde has taken us backwards to re-evaluate how we're doing things, and some really good stuff is coming out of it.

I don't have anything planned for the weekend, so will have to give it some thought today.

 

[ShannyMcB]

IT WAS A DAY instead of Mercury brings us backwards our vendor pushed us ahead in time, made a change that was supposed to go in tomorrow night, and screwed up a whole bunch of stuff.
7 hours later I got off a call.
Might be a beverage night

It’s Social Saturday! Share a funny pic or link a video. I think we could all use a giggle

This woman’s reaction to a tough situation and ability to make the best of it makes me smile every time this pops up somewhere

For self care Sunday a little game

DD and I are having a girls day! These are rare days that I cherish so much more now that she’s a very busy career woman. We started watching the 3rd season of “White Lotus” today and will be going to the movies this afternoon to see “Black Bag”. We also have to go to the store to get a bridal shower card and wrapping paper for my colleague’s bridal shower on Saturday.

Self-care today is starting with planning out (obsessing over) what to wear during my Disney trip. My return flight got shifted back 45 minutes, leaving me just one hour to get from the airport to the ferry (it's a 20-minute drive) or having to wait another hour and a half for the next ferry (which is at 12:45a). To make it to the earlier ferry I have to carry-on, which in-turn means a minimal capsule wardrobe. I'm thinking three dresses and two pants outfits, one of which I'll be wearing. Easy, right? Somehow, I always start with the best intentions and end up with a suitcase packed with things I really don't need.

Other self-care is to go to the nature preserve this morning for a nice leisurely walk.

And then also planning out (obsessing over) Easter, which I'm hosting as a welcome-spring-new-home-sister's-birthday celebration.

"Your Choice" was doing a puzzle with DH

And if I go to bed early tonight, I'll have a bingo

I highly recommend “Black Bag,” but the 25 minute previews were horrible. If there were genuinely good movies in the theaters, I would go every week, but too many are stuff of nightmares. I personally don’t find them entertaining. I did see one preview that interested me, a 20 year anniversary showing of “Pride and Prejudice.”

 

[Summer2018]

We never actually made the schedule for April. We need volunteers. I am doing the 14-20.

Yesterday was the first time I have ever watched a movie in a theatre without eating. My thin DD had popcorn and M&M’s. I just sipped water, and guess what? I survived. Who knew?

I am off today for the end of Ramadan, Eid al fitr. I am getting my teeth cleaned today. Otherwise, I will be doing housework.

Have a nice day.

I can take the week of the 7th. Let’s get motivated to assign out all the April weeks today

I feel like I have missed several days. Work has been super busy with reading essays and selecting students to receive scholarships. This weekend was really hard. Saturday we moved my grandma into an assisted living facility. THis was her choice and she picked a place that she already has a friend at. I thought it would be an easy day of packing and moving things. This was not the house they lived in when I was growing up so I thought it would be no big deal. Emotionally this was one of the hardest things I have done in so long. So many memories. THey still had the toys that I played with as a kid. My sister and I are the oldest and there were always a new little one coming after. My youngest is the same age as one of my Aunts kids. I so wanted to take them but I knew they would just sit in a box because I just couldn't get rid of them. I did take a few things. My grandma enabled my Beanie Baby habit and she had a few bears that she put out at Christmas so I took those. I also took the silverware that she had since I was little. I just had to have them. My cousin had to have the chip container. It is weird how some of us clinged to odd things that really don't matter. I keep taking breaks and walking to my car. At one point I felt like I couldn't breath. It was just a really long hard day so Sunday I took it easy some. We did go see DH grandma and did grocery shopping and I made dinner but I also rested.
