do better

My laundry is all done, folded and put away

Summer clothes are put away until Spring

I’ll plan outfits next weekend, maybe

My closet is bee-ay-yoo-tee-full!!! It took a long time, but everything now has a place and is in it!

Left papers at school. Guess what I’ll be doing bright and early.

Nails are semi-manicured (shaped with clear polish – close enough!)

Lovely, smooth clean sheets on bed (always good)

Guest room all cleaned up

Took dogs hiking today (really wanted to nap, but forced myself to just GO instead)

Left message for leasing agent

Package is ready to send tomorrow. Made one for my Little Sister, too.

Shopped for groceries.

I also cleaned out fridge, got a Brita water filter and set that up, washed my dogs, cleaned kitchen, gave myself a facial, and vacuumed whole house.

I am starting this week on an UP note! Maybe I’ll just go put some color on my nails now.

My sister was here visiting for a week. Mostly all we did was shop and eat. And then eat some more. It was so fun to have her here. We had a blast, but I didn’t have even ONE healthy smoothie for breakfast; didn’t exercise even ONCE, and I got behind on everything that makes my life run smoothly – laundry, grading papers, etc.

I wanna get back to entering my food on myfooddiary.com, get back to planning my meals and outfits, get back to getting SOME kind of exercise most days (even just walking my dogs!), get back to waking up early, ready to tackle the day’s challenges.

Having said all THAT… It was totally worth it!

So much to do! Since I have to wake up now to go babysit Grandson at 5:30, I haven’t done much around my own house this week.

Gotta get in gear to get ready for some big events.

Moving-

Video document of all our "stuff."

Sort and organize clothes, teacher stuff, linens, books, kitchen and bathroom stuff, etc.

Decide what gets moved, what gets sold, what gets donated or thrown away.

Clean out and organize garage (SCARY! )

Garage sale!

In-law Visit
Don’t know who I think I’ll be fooling, but I want to appear to have been industrious and efficient to my MIL and FIL. Instead of depressed and sedentary from missing my husband, as I have really been. SO… lots to do for this….

Clean carpets

Get yard and patio in shape.

Organize stuff.

get myself more pulled-together-looking (manicure, haircut, etc)

housebreak golden-doodle (or at least crate-train him)

paint baseboards, touch up elsewhere

finish painting kitchen walls.

sigh… rereading this just makes me want to go back to bed!

I’ve been missing Hubby so much. I sort have been having a big old pity party for myself, last couple of weeks…. LOTS of fast food, candy (chocolate), T.V. I’m going to do better this week. Instead of going around feeling like a kicked puppy, I’m going to be purposeful and pulled together! I’ve prayed about it and decided – no more junk food – bring my lunch next week –plan my dinners – be READY for my life – not just going through the motions as I’m faced with each thing I HAVE TO do.

One reason I need to change is that my dumb clothes are getting too tight – argh! Another reason is I want to look good for when he comes home in 16 days. I think I’ll go tanning.

I still can’t run, because of my ankle, but I’m going to try riding my exercycle each morning. It should give me more energy and a healthy glow back in my cheeks.
