Week 25 - Almost half way through the year

 The formatting of this post has been giving me a headache. I apologize if it's weird, but I'm tired of fighting with it.

 I was awoken by the sound of a cat knocking a metal drink container onto the floor around 6 am. I swear, they know when they’re supposed to be fed. Sadly, they wake up the wrong person. After waking up, I did read some of the book for my book club meeting next week. I’m only 20% done at this point, but it is a welcome break from the other book I’ve been reading.

 I decided that it was time to get up and eat a little bit then hit the trail for my morning walk. I had a couple pieces of wheat toast with crunchy peanut butter on them to make sure I didn’t get light headed while out walking this morning. It worked like a charm, as I felt great while walking.

The little one was gone with his dad today so I just sat around for most of the day and relaxed. I miss him terribly when he’s gone, but having a break from his intense amount of energy is nice every once in a while.

N/A - Didn’t wear my watch

 I spent much of today reading. I am really enjoying the book I selected for book club this month! I hope my group members also enjoy it.

I agreed to do a 5k with a friend, so I decided to go for a walk. I’ve also been working on getting the sidewalk clear of weeds. It would be nice if there was a way to mark the time I was using the weed eater so I’d know how many calories it burns swinging that thing around. LOL!

I didn’t wear my watch much today, because sometimes I just don’t feel like it. I did a lot of weed eating again today. The weed eater has been frustrating me a lot due to how the string is not coming out properly AND going through the battery so quickly.

I didn’t put my watch on until after noon, so there’s a chance that I took more steps than I thought. I did some more weed eating today. Look, I have a really long sidewalk and it takes a while to get the weeds down to the ground so don’t be too judgy when I put that I’m doing a lot of weed eating. The little one also had dance today, so a fellow mom and I tried to do the same stuff as the kids, but we could only do the warm ups as there was a lot of tumbling and balancing on yoga blocks during class.

1,005 steps

I know I have a 5k tomorrow, and yet I am completely unmotivated to go for a walk to stretch out the muscles that have likely atrophied due to lack of use. I will survive and likely learn a lesson or two about doing what I need to do to prepare for a 5k in the future.

Week 6

  February 4 -   I didn’t go to sleep until around 4 am. I really shouldn’t have had a soda so late in the day on Saturday, especially since I’ve been cutting back so much. Lesson learned!   I was looking forward to spending some quality time with the book I’m reading, but life got in the way and I was needed in other places. Oh well. I did get to read a little and I think that the reason life keeps pulling me away from the book is because once I really get into it, I won’t want to put it down.  No decluttering done today, unless you count getting the three pies out of the house and to the pie auction! LOL! February 5 -   Back to work. I’m still a little tired from the weekend, so no decluttering today. I really need to find some focus to get this task completed.  I think I’ll go to bed and read some tonight and see if I can fall asleep earlier than usual. February 6 -   Today is my oldest son’s birthday. He is now considered a man,...

Week 20 - The last week

May 12 -  The boys and my sister treated me to a wonderful day today. I am so thankful for all 3 of them! Due to the nature of the “holiday” I didn’t do any work around the house. However, I’ve noticed some things I can do outside tomorrow, weather permitting. May 13 -  As my lawn guy hasn’t been by to mow, I took it upon myself to charge up the battery for my weed eater and start hacking away at the front yard. With all the rain the past few weeks, I understand that those working in lawn care are behind schedule, however, the city I live in has these stupid, arbitrary rules about the length of grass and how citizens in this fine town will be penalized when their lawn doesn’t fit within those certain parameters. I despise those kinds of rules, so I will be plotting ways to make my yard either invisible to those in “power” OR to plant a BUNCH of flowers (hopefully mostly native) so they can grow freely and the rules won’t apply.  I’ve seen more than one house in this town ...

Week 19 - Oh look, even more lasts

Image
May 5th -  Well, the rain had plans for us this week. Key Club was supposed to do sidewalk chalk for Teacher Appreciation Week, but due to the rain (at least it wasn’t during prom) the students made posters instead. While students made posters, I took down photo booth decorations and listened to them talk about prom. It seems like everyone had a good time. After hours of that I returned home to veg out. So, no home improvement projects today. May 6th -  The first full day of Teacher Appreciation Week. There’s a lot to organize this week, so I don’t foresee much happening at home. Between planning for the week and doing a final check (or two) on the senior video, I’m pretty tired just thinking about it; and it's only Monday.  May 7th -  Today members of Key Club had a catered meal provided for the teachers. The students cleared plates, filled glasses with drinks, and did the bulk of setup and clean up. Talk about a gift! The meal was a huge success and the students we...
