Anniversary Week

This past week was such a lighter week workwise, but I was very busy at home.  I usually spend my weekends playing catch up, running errands, working out, taking teens to jobs and running out for coffee and groceries.  This weekend was no exception.



Added to all the normal stuff, I found an error in my pay slip, received a cell phone bill over double what we expected when we upgraded 4 phones this month and one of my teens may have lost his local job.  Things happen.  I am not stressing over it. In the past, this would have been a freak out.  Now, I am learning to deal. I corrected my pay, and I will see it next payday.  I reviewed my phone bill and discovered 4 errors and the phone company corrected it today.

As for my teen, he is going to either hope he still can get back on the schedule or he is going to have to find another job.  That falls on his shoulders to work out.

My youngest daughter and I have posted all of her clothes online finally.  We are using Mercari and FB.  She has already made about $28.  Our goal is to make $100 to replace some of her summer clothes and to buy a ukulele.  We still have over 20 items listed. 3 of the remaining items are party / prom dresses so selling them would help her clear her goal.


My husband and I went to the mall with her Friday night.  She spent the time looking at all the juniors clothes and making a list of things to buy.  Most of the items are modest and some of her choices are so much like the hubs, it is clear to see how much she is like him.  Her favorite picks are a Queen band logo tshirt and a vintage NASA sweatshirt, both from H&M.


This morning, I made coffee and breakfast for the hubs and Sophie.  My husband works so hard for us and it is nice to be able to show him how much he means to me.  I ate way more than I planned, even with sharing scraps with our dog, Gimli, but it was so worth it.



This week is going to be a crazy busy week, but filled with a lot of good things.  Between a busy workweek, having kids home for Spring Break while I am working from my home office, the hubs is working overtime on a work project plus juggling some side gigs for his media company. 

On Tuesday, it is our anniversary.  We are just going to hit the gym together after work.  However, we have a full day planned together for Sunday.  We are going to get coffee, then go check out a different gym branch in the metro, followed by brunch at my favorite place.  We also plan to hit Target, Aldi and Barnes & Noble.  Then, hit a place called Rec Bar which is an arcade and eatery in the city.  I have to be home relatively early because April 1st, I am scheduled for some tests under anesthesia.

I have also committed to volunteer Saturday for the Down Syndrome Association for setting up an awards ceremony.  I am excited about this.  It is so meaningful to me.



I have logged 21 workouts so far this month.  I am hoping to complete 26 by the end of the month.  This week, I want to track my meals, cut out late night snacking and do more strength training.   Sometime between working out, running errands and the awards ceremony,  I am hoping to do my nails at home and get a hair cut.

This week, I feel blessed and thankful.  Anniversary week is going to be a great week.

Keeping Up with the Keeping Up

This week has been a non-stop week.  I had 2 overtime days, working 11 hour shifts, followed by 3 normal shifts that were crammed with non-stop issues to deal with.  My job is fast paced and often filled with problems to solve, and on occasion, challenges to overcome.  Despite this, the hubs and I worked out 6 days this week between the gym (4x) and walking laps at the mall (2x). For the month of March, we managed to work out 27 days of 31.  My fitness goals for April are to workout 5-6 days per week, lose 5 lbs and to focus more on strength.  In addition to that, I want to hit platinum status on my Go365 health plan.  During March, I kept bouncing between up and down 5 lbs, but finally managed to be 4 lbs down by the end of the month. My financial goals for April are to cover my 1st qtr taxes, which I am set to do this coming week.  I also want to pay off the remaining $130 balance of our JCP card.  This weekend, I put $30 toward that....

Music To My Ears

I had all these goals this week to be more active: hit the gym, tackle more stuff around the house, accomplish more physically.  Then I lifted a laundry hamper and threw my back out.  It is an old auto accident injury that flares up at the most inconvenient times.  Yesterday, instead of hitting the gym, I finished the evening by walking laps at the mall before they closed when it was quiet.  Then completed my evening with a quick massage.  My back is still really sore today.  Instead of letting it get to me, I am focusing on what I can do.  As long as I am moving forward, I am progressing.  The hubs and I ended up walking laps around the mall again. My goals for this week are to sign up for more learning opportunities.  I am signing up for technical classes to refresh my experience in Excel and Access. I have also signed up for a nutrition class as well as a wellness class.  I really want to use 2019 as a growth year: mentally, p...
