Find one weekend a month to stay home and relax a little.

First, I’ve not missed a month in doing this for 5 months in a row, and that’s just shy of the 6 month goal that Todd and I discussed a while ago. Second, I’m moving to my own place that is not a part of work any more. That will make staying at home not as big of a deal. Third, I’ll have a lot more time on my hands when I don’t have cable and unlimited internet after I move, so I shouldn’t have such a hard time with housekeeping. I’m glad that Todd “made” me do this goal. It’s been productive.

I’ve already stayed home this month, but it’s been necessary for me to stay home this weekend, too. I will have done two chores by the time the day is over with. I have also cooked myself some meals this weekend, which has been a great reward, and been a little relaxing. I also have been resting a lot. (It seems right since I have so much congestion that won’t go away despite prescription medications I’m taking/have taken recently.) I spent some relaxing hours on the computer today and yesterday, so that’s been fun, too. This has been a much-needed resting weekend, because I need to be ready for my 5k this coming Saturday.

can be a designated weekend for this goal. I just am so not in the mood to work on this goal at all, though. I hate staying home, but I’ve committed to doing this, so here goes for this weekend.

• Church. (didn’t feel well on Sunday.)
• Cook for church meal. (see above)
• Clean house.
  
  • Clean kitchen.
  • Clean bathroom.
  • Vacuum.
  • Mop.
  • Dust furniture.
• Do laundry.
• Make pear preserves. (This will function as my hobby activity, since I like cooking.)
• Change sheets on bed.
• Do my workout twice. (Did one on Saturday.)

I can use this weekend for this goal. (The economy is REALLY encouraging this goal, a little more than I would like it to.)

• Do laundry.
• Put laundry away.
• Clean bathroom.
• Finish art project for goal number 27. [I’m putting this off some due to a headache]
• Do reading for goal number 26. [If I feel better, I’ll do this sometime today.]
• Go to at least one church service. [This will have to be next weekend since I have this headache.]
• Exercise.
• Turn in weekend report.
• Plan out catering menu for next week.
• Shop for groceries. [I’ll do that tomorrow.]
• Catch up on sleep.
• Do at least one relaxation activity.
• Straighten up kitchen.
• Declutter living room.
• Clean room corners.

off-site a few weeks ago, and decided that if I’m successful for 6 months in a row, that I could retire it. I’m leaning toward more like 9 months to a year now. Because this does need to be a habit. I also need to learn how to truly relax while being at home.

is another designated weekend for this goal. My only goals are:

• Go to church.
• RELAX!!!!!!!!!!!
• Get work clothes laundered and put away.
• Clean kitchen.

I know I’ve got something coming up next weekend, and I’m not sure what’s going to be going on the last weekend this month. I have some social stuff planned, but I should still be able to find some time for solitude.

My hobby activity that I want to participate in this weekend is my secret project.

Cleaning house will also be important.

Beyond that, I don’t want to plan too much for this weekend…well, except for doing exercise, too.

will be a designated weekend for this goal again.

What I hope to accomplish:

• Going to my local church for at least one service.
• Getting housecleaning done:
  
  • Cleaning bathroom
  • Mopping
  • Sweeping
  • Vaccuuming
  • Dusting
• Laundry
• Decluttering bedroom
• Doing my workout twice [worked out one time]
• Preparing my budget for July
• Hobby activity [read some and have researched some new recipe ideas]

will be a designated weekend for this goal.

• Laundry
• House cleaning
• Reorganizing my clothes [I’m going to save this for another time, I think that this may be too big of a project for my “relaxing weekend at home.”]
• Grocery shopping
• Paying bills
• REST!!!
• Planning for vacation.
• Spending some time doing some creative writing

that are a possibility for this goal for next month. The weekend of the 21st or the 28th.
