I think you're right, Lauralind. That's a keen observation about how our bodies handle stress and busyness and decompression afterward.
I hate it when that happens, L Ann. At least the appointment is over!
Gma, I'm sorry about your mom's dog.
Looks like you've been working a lot in your kitchen, Doggedly. Yay for green grass!
How interesting, Harriet, theremin music in church!
Hi Peaches!

The day is going -- not exactly as planned but it is going. 1:15 before counseling. I might try a very short jog in the neighborhood, just to say I did it -- even though I had my workout this morning with my personal trainer.

My plan is to go meet dh at our fav outdoor coffee shop at 3 pm after counseling. I'll do some payroll work there.

Next:
- back exercises
- short jog in neighborhood?
- s2s and self care

Later:
- s2s and self care
- write up retroactive menu plan
- put food away
- jog?
- strip MBR bed
- clean sheets on bed
- laundry: bedding, towels
- 2-3 counseling
- call dentist -- when is my next appointment?
- fill out info for dentist for Mom
- ask R and maybe AK (S2's dh) re: rec for neurologist
- join dh at our fav outdoor coffee shop?
- payroll: prep AAS D2
- payroll: finish end of session tasks from last session
- payroll: start GGT
- dinner: tuna pasta from freezer, green salad
- after dinner clean up
- can I book tix for my trip to Maine in August?
- anything else on brain dump list?

TaDas!
- up; weighed self -- big increase; Easter showed up? LOL!

Good afternoon! Popping in for some mojo…anybody see any laying around? <-me looking for it

Helia, a quick jog around the yard/neighborhood/in place (as time allows) might get the habit going again. I pulled an old mini trampoline out of the closet yesterday to use, I read somewhere a few minutes of jumping helps the lymph nodes and circulatory system, but it has no bounce left. Might get a new one made for workouts and not for kids play.

Hi, Peaches. Good luck on your list.

LAnn, good luck on your list as well. Hope the appt went well. The Special Olympics games sound amazing.

Dogged, there are jar openers for larger lids, like those in canning jars, one resembles a large wrench that fits various size lids to give more leverage on the jar… I typed in jar opener and the other types popped up but idk how well they work.
https://a.co/d/hRyVduX
I have this one that usually works but sometimes I need another pair of hands, one to hold the jar and one to twist the lid. Dmom used to bang her jars on the counter at the spot where the lid connects, dunno if I recommend that with the thinness of the glass these days.

Gma, I hope whatever it is is treatable for your mom’s sake.

Hi Laura, yep, with my short attention span it’s easier to do one thing in each area rather than tackle a whole room at once.

Hi Harriet, I love music in church, nice acoustics and fellowship, even online, are a great pair.

Thursday
Cleaned up after dog X 2
Put away clean laundry X 3
Scrubbed out sink and basin
Washed dishes
Filled both cutlery holders for the dw. Even if it is mostly a cutlery washer, it has earned its place in my house and heart. I loath washing cutlery.
Wiped down/put away breadmaker
Wiped down/put away rice maker
Put away small drying rack
Set up bread canister

That is an early start, L.Ann. I do the same, waking up over and over when I know that I have to get up early.

Hi, Peaches

It's funny how our days just decide for themselves how they are going to go, helia.

That jar opener might be better than the one that I have, Bama. I have a grip like that, but when it opens wide enough to fit the mason jar ring in it, the handles are so far apart that I need both hands to hold the handles and then another hand to hold the jar, LOL. I have one that fits properly with metal teeth, but they just slip on the mason jar ring.

I like the multiple bits of exercise you do throughout the day, L Ann.
I haven't followed what you're doing with jars, Doggedly, but I hope it goes well!
I'd like to be more consistent with my jogging, Bama. It's been 2x/ week for the last 2 weeks. I'm aiming for the weekly 5K on Saturday again. The neighborhood loop I jogged was short, just 1.1 miles. But it is hilly and better than nothing! Interesting about the trampoline for exercise. If I did that, I'd probably bounce off and break something. LOL!

I've exercised twice today, so I'm feeling virtuous. My counseling appointment was not actually scheduled, so we scheduled for tomorrow at noon.

I'm showering next and then heading to the coffee shop. Oh, need to check on something for dh first. . .

Peeking in while I update my list with pitifully few tada flowers.

Wtg, Peaches.
Helia, I know you can do it! Re the trampoline, my phone says I’m a high fall risk so wondering if it’s worth it lol. What does that phone know anyway?!
LAnn, enjoy the time outside.
Dogged, you’re right. I couldn’t remember why I didn’t care for mine but you’ve nailed it on the head, it didn’t work on wider jar lids and I use a grippy thing for smaller lids so its not often used. Can you trade db for another?

I’ve dusted, vacuumed, mopped, scooped litter, on second load of laundry, now chilling with a hallmark movie while the floor dries.
