Magical Monday

[Twins' Mom]

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Believe in yourself and make it happen this week!

good morning Twins, Village.
Thinking of you all today. Sending prayers for known and unknown needs.

dbros surgery is tomorrow my time. He is due at the hospital in 12 hours.

[Twins' Mom]

I'm feeling so overwhelmed this week that it's hard to believe I'll get through it all, but I will. Some things may get dropped, rescheduled or re-prioritized but I'll get there.

Today and tomorrow I"m on the road with dd - will visit dsis this afternoon, overnight in Macon GA area, court date at 9 a.m. tomorrow, and when it's over, back home and then get dd back to K-town. Wednesday I need to get stuff ready for temple bd meeting and get myself prepared. Nothing on the agenda for Thur - Sat right now except for a massage, but we are leaving on Sunday for the beach again.

(((Twins))) stay safe.

LynLee - your DBro is in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm up and going. 18 minutes until need to be out the door to take LO to school.

Things are not organized and prepared for today.
I reached for jug of milk to make smoothies......nope. We used it all this weekend. What's for breakfast? Default to sandwiches.
LO jeans are in the dryer....hopefully will be dry by the time we need to get out the door.
DGS16 txt me to ask what time court started this morning. ARGH!! I assumed his Dad or Mom told him it was cancelled. I feel awful that he wasn't told.

Twins You and I can work together this week since we are both away next week so have to get a lot done. It might be useful having a partner with a similar deadline (my flight is at 7:40 next Monday morning.)

I filled the vitamin containers and s2s. I haven't exercised since I was feeling lazy and my knees were iffy. I intend to set timers to day to make sure I get up and get moving at least once per hour for at least 10 minutes since, while exercise makes my knees worse, so does sitting at a desk.

First challenge is breakfast, and while my blueberries are defrosting I'll put the garbage out. That might get rid of the smell in here!

[Twins' Mom]

Sounds like a plan, Kathryn. Ever time you mention writing a sermon it reminds me that I need to write two "addresses" to the congregation for Rosh Hahshanah and Yom Kippur. It's killing me right now that I'm "wasting" two days on dd and she's not very appreciative or even nice to me.

I slept poorly last night - I think too much OMM even tho I worked on li&ts and tried to clear my mind.

Looks like ddogs won't get a walk this morning - rain is coming down here. I pulled out what I need to pack and need to go get dd up next.

Twins: 1. While I recognize that you need to drive dd to GA for the court date, she still has her license so could she do the highway driving portion of the trip so you could work on writing or other paperwork? 2. I'm sure there are buses that run between K-Town and your city. Put her on a bus to go back to school. She's brought all this on herself and there are consequences.

Breakfast is done. During breakfast I read the instructions for a craft project dd gave me for Christmas 4 years ago. It is called a daVinci tile and you take a picture or something else and put it onto the tile through a multiple step process using all kinds of potions included in the kit. I've been paralyzed with indecision as to which picture to use so have never done it. While reading the instructions and pondering all this over breakfast, it occurred to me the perfect item to go on the tile would be a picture of this house. That would give us a memento of this house.

She also gave me chalkboard paint for Christmas last year. so I have another craft project to do with that (at least there I know what I'm doing, it is just I haven't got around to it.) I want to finish all these projects before we move, while I still have the space to do such projects.

So, while working on the projects is not part of this week's to-do list, taking a photo of the house will be. Actually, I need to take lots of photos this week, so that if we have to put the house on the market in the winter, we'll have a set of photos of the property when the trees are in leaf. So that's been on my to-do list for a while.

LOL! What a shock when I was scrolling down reading and what did I see but your lovely post about my weight loss! Thank you! And it is amazing how much better I feel, and I can do much more without huffing and puffing.

I have at least that much more to go, but it will be worth it. It has not been easy and when I saw those beautiful cupcakes I was dreaming how good they would taste. Mr. Guy has lost even more than I have and it has been even harder keeping him on the straight and narrow.
