Thriving, not surviving! Most articles online suggest a mix of activities and mindsets that help us thrive: creativity, new experiences, gratitude, relaxation...

What do you find essential when you think of thriving?

Waving to all have a great day.

Cathy - glad to see you back to normal routine after a couple of rough medical days.

My day is off to a good start. I took DD13 to school and then stopped by the office to put money on her lunch fund. That fund should be good for a couple months now. School lunches here are $2.75. Breakfast is $1.00

DS16 went to work early to beat the heat. He will do homeschooling during the hottest part of the day.

DH and I are going to the city with a list of stops
** Amazon return dropped off
** Favorite charity to drop off decluttered items
** Big box store - the rest of the plumbing parts for bathtub replacement
** Sams - Gas
** Sams - Pharmacy for DH prescription
** Sams - curbside pickup

When I pick DD13 up from school we will immediately go to her yearly doctor appointment.

Yesterday was spent doing some errands with Sweetie.

The tooth I recently had a crown put on is bothering me. Can’t tell exactly where the pain is, but didn’t want to fool around with it with the holiday weekend coming up so I made an appointment with my dentist for this morning.

I really didn’t feel much like doing anything..took Tylenol for the pain which helped…so I started on my laundry which I usually do on Thursday. Have all of it done except folding some, so am working on it now.

My drapes are still sitting on my dining room table and I will get to it once I feel better. Kids are coming for a pizza and a swim tomorrow if the afternoon storms will allow it. If I don’t get back to the drapes, I’ll just put them on my guest bedroom bed so they don’t get wrinkled.

No need to stress over anything.

My leg still throbs if I do too much walking, but the stitches look great. Keeping plenty of Vaseline on them to keep the area well moisturized … that will keep it easier to remove them next week

LadyM…when I went to Sams the other day, many of the refrigerator areas were empty, including the chicken which is why I was there. Got a few other things that I needed and when I went to exit, I asked the fellow who checks your receipts when the reset would be finished.

He told me it wasn’t a reset, but the power had gone out for some reason over the night and the refrigerator section freezes stopped working. That meant all the foods that were contained in them had to be thrown out because they would be unsafe to eat!

Ugh, yes, a visit to the dentist is in order before the long weekend. Glad the leg continues to heal, I still have a small darker area on my shin from hitting the step when I fell in Amsterdam in April. I didn't even realize it was scraped until i got home.

I've walked ddog two laps - excitement again today when she flushed the kitty out from the shrubs at the playground. She's been on high alert for the neighborhood kitties. She also got to see friends' cat yesterday when kitty was exiting house to garage and froze, then Millie went into the garage to be sure the kitty went back inside. Got to sniff it's bed!!! Where it sleeps!!!

This has been sitting for a while - there is a lockdown on college campus across the river from us. Got a phone message and text message and I'm streaming one of the local TV stations.

I didn't end up cooking last night so tonight's supper is thawed pork chops with apples and onions and maybe salad or broccoli.

I'm not moving very fast today.

stayed up way too late and snacked way too much

nodding head in agreement. Late night and snacking seem to go hand-in-hand.

We are home from our errands. Everything is unloaded and put away. I do have several items to prep. I need to find a show to watch while I spend time in the kitchen weighing, chopping, packaging serving size and getting items into the freezer.
Done -
5 bags of Spinach
9 bags of Tri colored cabbage mix
11 bags of Grapes
7 bags of mushrooms
10 bags of cuties
I measured all serving sizes to 100g to make it easy to remember.
9 bags of cheese. It was packaged in 2 cup portion size bags.

I'm glad to reach this point in restocking the pantry/freezer
