Things I need to work on: 1. Self care. I’m not doing so great on that. I discovered that tonight when I went to my meeting and realized I hadn’t eaten in over 8 hours and was dehydrated and almost fell over in front of a hundred people I was chairing the meeting in front […]

Day 71
Exhaustion. Pure physical exhaustion. And I quit smoking. I pretty much finished unpacking and putting together the beds. I have the living room mostly arranged to my liking, and my lovely keyboard is set up. You know, the important things. I replaced the blinds that A broke our first day here (took two trips to […]
Day 70
Moving completed. 3 days of packing and moving and I just have unpacking and setting up beds to do. Also purchasing of furniture such as a kitchen table and dressers to do. But the worst of it is over. 1. I met one of my neighbors today, the guy who lives above me with his […]
Day 69
I still giggle internally like a preteen at the number 69. Ok. Enough of that. Parenting was hard today, but I feel like I was productive. I finished packing all my stuff from my sister’s place, with small children literally ripping the curtains down around me. Also bought more stuff for the new place. I’m […]
Day 68
Getting nervous about moving logistics. Ok, who am I kidding…ive been nervous since before I signed a lease but now I’m panicking a little. Mostly about how I’m going to transport my children while driving a uhaul. That has no backseat. 1. I felt pretty energized all day, right up til now. That was pretty […]
Day 67
Ever notice that people in general, have a whole lot of opinions on what you should or shouldn’t do? I had a conversation with my sister today that really brought this to my attention today. And she has the right to her opinions I guess. It really comes down to me, that what’s right for […]
Day 66
It’s been a busy weekend. I made good on the meditation, saw friends, packed things, watched live music and came close to falling off a dock. Also the state fair. The state fair is a pretty big deal in MN. It’s supposedly the third largest in the US, and there were over 200,000 people there […]
Day 65
You know that thing that happens sometimes, where you suddenly realize you’re lost in your thoughts and you come to and it’s like you were somewhere else completely? That’s been happening to me a lot lately. I feel like there is so much happening right now in my life, that I’m constantly spinning. At […]
Day 63
Its a weird day. Started out with a stomach ache, that turned into sharp pain, which faded with Tylenol enabling me to go to work. Once there, I was in a funk for a few hours before something (and I’m not really sure what) made me laugh and I’ve been in a good mood since. […]
Day 60
Two whole months of positive thinking! Go me! It’s amazing to me how much this has changed my outlook on life. In these past 60, I can literally only think of two days where it was difficult to find positive things in my day, and while those two days I stretched really hard I still […]
