I had a lot of plans that didn't happen for today, too,
blessed.
I am just sitting here wondering WHEN WILL I get my act together???
I mean, I've been retired 5 1/2 years... it's about time for me to find a new routine and quit drifting through my days, right?
The goal is -- I mean this is my
PLAN for 2019 --
* 15 min each every day: daily/weekly/zone activity. As (I think) LadyM has said before, to just make ONE decision in each area (and the corresponding action, of course) would be a great improvement around here.
* 15 min each day with paperwork -- photos, journals, writing, etc...
* 15 min exercise
Now that is NOT too much to ask for, is it? That is ONLY an hour and 15 minutes, right? Even a person who sleeps till NOON could easily accomplish that.
But today... no, that person did NOT accomplish anything.
That person DID manage to s2s and do her Bible reading...
and that person called the bank and recorded checks that were auto-deposited today...
and that person helped her dh order basketball tickets for him and ds to go to next week...
and that person went to CVS drug store to get Lysol Dual-Action wipes, which for some reason are only available there and not at Wmart...
and then that person came home and ate... and ate... and ate... and wasted time on her phone... and almost went back to sleep --
and then that person was so thrilled when her dh said, "Let's eat out and go to a movie. That ham will keep one more day, won't it?"
Oh -- that will serve as my pork tomorrow too! And I have salad, so now I also have greens! No peas for me though.
So. That's how I'm ending the year.
But. I will be POISED and READY tomorrow. I promise I will do better. I will start by being a little more mindful of what I eat.
Oh -- I have an old IBM Selectric,
Harmony. Sorry I can't get it to you! It weighs a ton -- shipping would probably be a thousand times more than the typewriter is worth! It was a high school graduation present from dparents and d-maternal grandparents. I never use it of course, but it has some sentimental value, and it got me through a BS and Master's degree, and the first few years of teaching!
And
LadyM -- that house!
Oh. My. Goodness. I read your description and I was just in AWE. But not envious... no... that is waaay too much house for me. Our house is 4000 sq feet, approx. and it is too much for me! But wow... your ds's house does sound beautiful... and I am totally amazed at those people just leaving all that stuff behind. That is just hard to comprehend. I don't care how much money someone makes, how could you walk away from EVERYTHING like that? Wow.
Belated happy birthday wishes to
Ken and to
Twins' Dad!
Waving to all! I know I have been AWOL a lot lately. I have mostly been sleeping. Lucy is NOT dead but sleepeth. FitBit says I slept 12 hours Friday and Saturday (not all in one stretch) and 9 hours last night, and I'm pretty sure I could curl up on the couch right now and happily take a nap again... so cozy, watching the rain and the Christmas tree lights. But somehow, I have GOT to break myself of this. Laziness breeds laziness, and activity breeds activity, I think. So tomorrow -- I WILL attempt to follow the PLAN.
Happy New Year to ALL!!!
PS -- my thoughts on the movie exactly,
Dee -- the songs didn't stick in my head like the original, and no one can top Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke in the main roles -- but it was a wonderful sequel! And so good to see Dick Van Dyke there at the end! He is amazing. * I bet he doesn't lie around wasting his whole day like someone I know....
