Satisfying Saturday PWYC

[Twins' Mom]

What makes for a Satisfying day? Time with friends and family? Time to do things you love? Time to do the tasks of the day? Scope out what's needed, and have a Satisfying Saturday!

Good morning

Twins - thank you for the start and satisfying encouragement.

I want to make an effort to take better care of myself. I tend to get distracted and overwhelmed taking care of everyone and everything else. I am wondering if I can do an hourly CI with myself to pause a couple seconds to evaluate how I am doing with self care. Of course, I can (it isn't against the law) but it is more along the lines of wondering if I can be consistent in doing it.

I am worth the effort to take care of myself hourly CI

I have a new appreciation for Saturdays now that school has resumed. Saturday is now the only day of the week that don't need to be ready to leave the house at 7:30ish.

Researching the difference at the micronutrient level between hot link and Canadian bacon. I am surprised with findings. I thought Canadian bacon would be the winner. Although it really doesn't matter because I eat such a small serving, but I was curious enough to learn.

Dishes
Duds
Dinner
are all in progress or caught up.

RR - at your suggestion I've added Quest chips as a daily treat. I ordered a mixture of them and they arrived yesterday. Now I think of you fondly each time I eat them.

Interesting. Pausing to check if I am focusing on self-care each hour is not taking away from other things but seems to be increasing the time I spend on them. Put oxygen mask on first theory is working. Once I'm taking care of me, then I have energy & desire to do other things.

Hi

yesterday an unusual day and I didn't get to post. Napped but then slept 9 hours.

One good thing about yesterday was it was another high healthy habits day with 21 checkmarks, so a recent high.

Also, it was Photosynthesis Day, which gave me a new crop of broccoli sprouts, one reason for the good habits since they were so fresh.

I like "refill day", blessed.
I like "worth the effort" effort, LadyM.

Nancy, I was thinking, oh I have my copy of that book right here for you but it's not the workbook

Sidetrack admission - I had a nutrition science book in cart of Ariver but was getting in bed last night and noticed selfsame book on the underneath shelf of headboard thingie. I wasn't ordering yet because there hadn't been a used one at a better price and I'm cheap thrifty. HRH had seen the cart and just almost ordered for me as a present, so dodged that bullet.

I know how this happened - I was shopping with ddolder at Goodwill and she spends all her enjoyment time while there in books, then shops boy's clothing. So, I'd gotten tired of waiting on her and spent extra time there myself with her, and lo and behold, one that I would actually buy. But I spend all MY enjoyment time at Goodwill looking at everything and also buying the things she won't let the boys buy - because... .. Grandmother. So, I'd gotten home with too much to remember that there was also a book, put it away however (points), then forgot I had it.

In other frustrating shopping news, we got double products of 5 items added to an existing grocery order from WMart. Sigh. Somehow, when they were added, the addition went through twice. Most were inexpensive or save-able.

Other frustration news - deer discovered my lantana, so sad. Voles discovered the front lawn.

It will be a satisfying Saturday for me, Twins', within the "time with family" suggestion, partly because we're invited to ddolder's on this, the last evening of WonderBoy's pre-college life. He is at an event with his fellow library workers through afternoon, then we'll go over around 7 when the family has finished supper, maybe share desserts. They say he has gotten a haircut, which will certainly be new - he's been our Fabio.

Tomorrow, they leave at 8:30 to take him for move-in, which can start at 11. It won't take that long to get there but he wants to stop at a Cost-company store on the way for a snack supplies stock-up, lol. Also, ddolder knows in advance that they will remember something along the way that they forgot to bring, so she wants a store stop elsewhere.

so frustrating when the deer find our lovely plants - not not so dear deers!
glad you had a good night sleep - wonderful d harriet
yay on another healthy day - I have to do this - is it on a card or paper - I will have to come up with a check list as well. love it!
how wonderful that you found the book instead of having to buy it!
I noticed on my "hein...ens" grocery cart that somethings didn't erase off my last order - It showed up again even though I didn't order it. I am getting better looking at the order before okaying it. This has happened multiple times.
Being thrifty is very good! good job!
you are a wonderful grandmother!
wishing your d grandson a wonderful year in college!!! "love the Fabio"

I like that card d lady - worth the effort!!! love it
yay again on self care!

then I have energy & desire to do other things.
