July Summer Card File

[Nancy]

Bw2 I know what you mean;
I'm trying not to think of my afternoon as a waste yesterday.
I took a long nap yesterday afternoon;
I must have needed the rest I guess after the work of
unpacking and getting camping gear
cleaned up and put away.

With this heat that we are having this week
it's been more work keeping up with watering.

[Nancy]

Blessedw2 sorry to read that you've been ill.

I have to pay attn. to the laundry
and basics around here today.

[blessedw2]

thank you Nancy. I am feeling better today.
Also I think you are right... you needed the rest! I wish sometimes I could be like I was at 20 and bounce right back up like nothing. I wish I appreciated my bodies abilities better.

glad you got all the camping gear put away! good for you.

I have been a poor example of card file this summer. So pulling my boot straps back up and pulling my card file to it's fall/winter level again.
back to: know my limits (physical not the same as when I was 20)
know my bad habits ... ignoring evening routine and not picking it up and putting it away
also not expecting kids to do specific chores dd's do help if I ask
tv at night ... how I plan to break that... got books on tape
plan time to be home
keep my dejunk wednesday and throw away thursday (not have been on track for that)
keep errand day
keep planning day and grocery shopping the same day.

first things first: pull card file and calendar... get it back on track
clean family room where I was the last 2 days

[blessedw2]

goal: menu planning (reasonable for summer activity)
grocery shopping
paint arbor
dailies

saw dh off, he is going to a car show.
couldn't let dear brother in law in house... normally I could.
don't like this feeling back.
remembering my limits and the effects of being off my routine.

time to pull kitchen cards. 10:55 am. where is the day flying off to.
dishes emptied
dishes filled and washing again
painted a lot on the arbor needs another coat
slept in the afternoon
