do first things first

A whole day of Sunday, stretching ahead. Yum.

• linen changed, bedroom cleaned, healthy breakfast in my tummy.

• space of organisation and inspiration: locate three pictures to print, load onto memory stick (I bought the frames yesterday for only $3 each – they’re very pretty and vintage-looking).
• be the tortoise: post the thoughts I’ve had on the awareness/consistency nexus.
  —stretches.
  —journal.
  —apple cider vinegar. done
• 140lbs: walk to P’s later with him. (I could walk in tomorrow, too.)
• study: catch up on the missed lecture last week. Read ahead for tomorrow.
• financial fitness: make lunch today, to take in tomorrow.

• NoHuWriMo.
• first book in the Wheel of Time. I’m excited.
• nap. It’s only 11am and I can feel one coming on.

I should actually say: 21-23 as I am off work on Monday. But Monday is NOTARY MEETING DAY!!

Sunday is going to be … a day in the mountains. Hope the weather will be as good as it was today. Sun, blue sky, 14C. Wonderful!!

Happy Weekends!!

Only very slightly hungover after a rather wonderful night at Leopard’s! And I got home injury-free!

• GYM – intervals + 1K swim, had to get out of an otherwise empty pool to go
• Wedding dress shopping as part of bridesmaid duties – dress has been decided on and we had a good laugh so that was all worthwhile!
• Shopping – moisturiser, bras, goggles, swimsuit (after trying 6 on in the shop which I think has to be a record!)

• order shopping for tomorrow
• update Progress Journal
• laundry & sort gymkit

Slept a lot better last night. Maybe things are getting better. Fortunately this meant that DH got a good night’s sleep too.

Still some things Bt/fwd on my list – but best to pace myself as I heal properly. Everything is such a big effort to achieve right now, and my right leg is impossible to get comfortable.

• Home accounts. I transferred some money over yesterday and paid the CC bills – but I still need to do the reconciliations, and update the spend. At least the CC people will not be charging interest and the bank account is not overdrawn even if I have no idea how things stand yet.

• Attempt to have a shower and wash my hair – not sure how I can do this yet, and whether upstairs shower or downstairs shower will be the easiest, but I will certainly feel a lot better if I can manage it. Worst case scenario is that I have becomed very skilled at sliding about on my bum, so I can sit on the shower floor, as long as DH can get me upright afterwards :)

• rest and recoup after all the above exertion.

Baby steps!!

• await booze delivery – done
• grocer – too late: closed
• butcher – done
• baker – done
• photography course – theory, done
• mando Bach – done
• cook something lamb-y – neck o’lamb simmering
