Earache:
Almost gone. Only a few ziggers during the day. Good choice to wait and see. Even though Dr. Google says it can't be the loud music at Soul Cycle, I still wonder. The timing was interesting since, oh, and I haven't had an ear infection in 45 years!!
Leg injury:
Holding good after the runs this week. I'm not pushing the frequency yet. My calf muscles are sore. Hello, hills! I did arms and abs yesterday. On the fence for this morning ... boxing, elliptical or rest day. Normally, I schedule out the workout week, but I'm listening to my leg and playing it day-by-day.
Boxing membership:
Speaking of boxing ... I might let this go. Here's why. The classes during the week aren't good for me anymore (boring instructor, switched to kickboxing, etc). The only class I like is Saturday and that's a lot of money for once/week (and some Saturdays I can't go). I'm using it for the elliptical during my leg injury and that's been great. It takes a month to cancel. I'm still thinking it over. Also, the drive is 20 minutes longer from the new house. I'll need some sort of cross training to replace it (that's going to take some time to figure out). For now, I'm still going. It's on a possible cancelation list though.
Books:
Mindset -- Carol Dweck
I finished this book last night. Interesting. Fixed mindset vs growth mindset. Well worth the read. I'll say that I read-skimmed the last half. Examples of mindset in business, sports, teaching, etc. It became redundant. Made me think about my mindset and how both have played roles in my life (good and bad). I heard about the book and now I KEEP hearing about it. It's making rounds again.
The Power of Now -- Eckhart Tolle.
Started, but only through the introduction. I love his writing, the feel of the book (such nice paper) and the message.
Podcasts:
Nothing new. I need some recommendations. Jen Hatmaker is on a music series and that's not my jam (love a pun). Rachel Hollis is hit-or-miss for me (she does a lot of business ones). Even Brooke Castillo is business focused a lot lately.
Jen Hatmaker Event:
My out-of-town bestie went silent about it after suggesting we go. Probably for the best. Logistics would be challenging doing airport runs. Tickets are available so I messaged a local friend about going. It keeps showing up, so time to say YES. We'll do an early dinner downtown and maybe miss some of the traffic. It's not until mid-May, so plenty of time to get settled after the move.
Nails:
I'm getting another SNS over the moving months. I need strength in the nails or I'll rip them lifting stuff, opening boxes. I saw this color on Instagram and am thinking of trying it. I usually regret anything but an american (like french, but more subtle white). Should I, shouldn't I? It'll be a game day decision on Friday (also, they might not have this color). I'm leaning toward YES -- an adventure for my nails (because cream is such a wild choice hahaha).
CBD oil for my old dog:
It's a wait and see. About 2 weeks before any results.
Aspen:
Remember when I mentioned some things magically correctly at Costco this week? One of the phone calls was about Aspen. She's been accepted into a retirement home and I'll drop her off on Sunday. It's a long drive but worth it for this little lady to live out her best life. It's a perfect scenario for her. Miss you already, love.
Saying YES:
I've been angry and annoyed about doing favors, people standing me up when I'm helping them out and it's made me go into NO mode. Too much so. Hubby helped me see that light ... don't turn away from friends just because strangers are pissing you off. Got it.
In the name of YES, I'm saying yes to a yearly neighborhood lunch for the ladies in our new place. The day after we move in -- hectic, but it would be a big miss to not go.
The Weekend:
The weekend is full. We are in crunch mode and things are moving fast now. I need to be on my game to make this happen. It's got something for everyone ... fun, work, self-care.
Saturday: Boxing, touring wedding venue, buying mattress, more GoodWill drops.
Sunday: Early meditation at Unity Church, training a foster in the city, dropping off Aspen, touring youngest's apartment to measure for move in the next weekend.
Today:
I'm meeting the closet measurer at the new house followed by the Pottery Barn decorator (free service) to start planning furniture for the family room and master bedroom. Exciting stuff!
I managed another good day yesterday, but still some underlying stress. Didn't "eat my feelings" though and that's a win. Going for #3 today. Later gators.
