DDIL made dgs a weighted blanket. I think he really likes it. He doesn't HAVE TO have it, but I think he enjoys the coziness of it. When he was picking his cover for the weekend -- he slept on the couch at the condo -- he said, "I like that heavier quilt," choosing between a heavy quilt and a lighter weight blanket.
LadyM -- I am so glad my post re: DST helped you! I have LOL at dh about the fact that I was just trying to sneak in an extra hour on Saturday as well, with my mistake setting the clock. I blame it all on this horrible cold I have, and the heavy doses of OTC meds I am taking. I actually forgot to set dh's alarm this morning, too! (But he doesn't know it! DGS and I were up; I DID set the alarm for dgs, and I just happened to look at the clock again before ds came to pick up dgs -- and it was 3 minutes after the time dh gets up for church! * whew * ) I went to church this morning, but I went outside once to just blow my nose. And blow and blow and blow my nose...
I slept all afternoon in the recliner.
I really need to exercise, but it is hard to do when one cannot BREATHE.
OTOH, "they" say if your symptoms are above your neck, you should keep up your exercise routine, right?
I hardly have a ROUTINE, I guess I must admit.
WHY do I do this??? I will go along pretty well, tracking my habits -- s2s 1st thing, exercise -- and I will actually DO those things for 19 - 20 - 21 days or so, and then I completely fall off the wagon! I know they say 21 days to establish a habit, and 28 for SHE's, but something apparently happens in my brain after 3 weeks and everything goes to you-know-where with me.
So I said I would start again
NOVEMBER 1ST... and I
did exercise that day, and I
did s2s 1st thing for the 1st through the 4th, today. I have NOT exercised the 2nd and 3rd, although I did get my (8000+) steps in the 3rd. I have not worn my Fitbit today; I have it on the charger right now, but the only steps I guess that amounted to anything were the ones around Wmart tonight.
I just don't know why I hit such a roadblock when I should be getting to the ESTABLISHED HABIT point.
IF I EVER manage to get s2s and exercise habits under control, I am going to work on the daily routine habit... whb habit... zone habit... etc.
Those things get done, generally speaking, but not in any really consistent HABITUAL manner.
I want it to be to the point that it is harder to SKIP something than it is to DO it.
Lynlee... stupid question here -- I know I'm showing my ignorance -- do y'all change time like we do for Daylight Savings Time?
DH here is glad we are back on standard time; he wishes we would never change back.
Someone on the Grand Ole Opry said last night that DST was like wanting to be taller, so you cut off your head and stand on it.
My mother, OTOH, hates hates HATES it when we switch to standard time; winter and early dark evenings are kinda depressing to her. She already falls asleep as soon as it gets dark -- and then wakes up before daylight and can't go back to sleep.
I don't really care one way or the other. I just hate changing clocks.
“You can't plow a field simply by turning it over in your mind.”
Excellent quote,
blessed. I spend waaay too much time turning things over in my mind, that is for certain!
BTW -- sounds like you have accomplished quite a lot today!
Waving to
ALL! Hope you all have a great night and start the week off with a great day tomorrow!
