Coaching Call and Whatnot

I'm looking forward to the coaching call.  I've prepped a question in case we don't have much to say.  Stay tuned for the question AND (hopefully) the ANSWER.  At some point I'm going to ask her, if not today -- it's a good one :)

I'm particularly tired this morning.  I woke up at 4 o'clock and decided to let myself FULLY fall back to sleep.  Yep, accomplished that nicely.  The alarm caught me hard, but I'm up.  Promise is a promise.  I promised 2 weeks.

I found another TREAT yesterday -- look at me go.  Guess I'm a good treat finder after all - hah.  As you might remember, clean crew came (but that felt like a household necessity with my back).  I downloaded 2 new songs and it was fantastic for my workout.  Those were the planned treats.

Then ...
I happened upon an online sale and a summer, casual dress that caught my eye.  Inexpensive and the perfect thing to wear to church (I went once and plan to go again).  At least, it looks perfect.  Pictures when it arrives.

Speaking of arriving ...
My Amazon purchases should arrive today.  Not a moment too soon.  I need some big guns to keep me on the strait and narrow today. (P.S. Autocorrect let me know it's not STRAIGHT and narrow .... hmmmmm, never knew, but that makes total sense.)

Yesterday was the BIGGEST CRAVING for sweets.  Wow.  I rode it all night ... in Brooke Castillo terms, I allowed it and stayed curious.  (You bet I added a couple of lines to the Urge List this morning.)

Not sure what it was about, but I'm not feeling recovered yet.  Hubby is golfing today.  I have a morning coaching call and mid-day dog walk with my grand-doggies.  That't it.  (I decided next week I'm back at rescue work.  I feel better and I'm giving myself a minute to stay in that feeling.)  Nothing much, home alone and feeling "off."  Big guns are out and ready!  This is going to be a tough day.  (BWT -- Day 10 or 11 is the biggest quit day for W30, not me -- just saying for a friend - hah.)

As far as how I feel on Day 11 -- okay.  Clothes are marginally more comfortable.  Energy isn't stable yet.  I had a headache last night and feel like I'm getting a cold.  That could explain last night and this morning's "off" feeling.  I actually wonder if it's allergies.  Dogs are chewing paws like crazy and I noticed getting stuffed-up sitting outside ... hmmmmm.  If only I knew a nurse LOL.

My 19 for 19 post is almost ready (I might finish it this morning).  I need to proofread -- but why I bother, I'll never know.  If I read a post a day later, it's almost a GIVEN that I find a mistake.  Actually, finding only one is GOOD.  Oh well.  Sorry in advance for all future posts and typos.  This morning has been particularly interesting.  It's like Where's Waldo of typos ...

Speaking of reading ... wow, A Gentleman in Moscow.  It's so so so so well written.  This author is GOOD.  I've heard of his other book, but can't remember right now (pre-coffee brain).  I'll add that to my reading list.  After I finish this book, I need to read the book club selection because it's coming up in a few weeks (also can't remember the name).  Anyway, the point is THIS is a great book and even though I'm only a 1/3 finished, I give it a definite READ recommendation.

I've made progress on my list of 3 things to set in motion this week.  I got another quote for the bench cushion and am "signing" for it today (originally quote was better).  Electrician is coming next week -- 50/50 shot at getting the outlets because of electrician-blah-blah-blah.  Hopefully, it can be done.  Of course, anything can be done, but we won't do it if it involves cutting ceilings, etc.  I texted the painter for the mirror and haven't heard back.  I might need to get another name.

TREAT for today is Amazon package and I'm picking up dinner take-out since I'll be traveling to walk dogs -- good W30 option and something to look forward to in the evening.

TOOL for today is ALLOWING.  Allow the feelings -- emotional feelings, craving feelings, bored feelings, sneeze-cold feelings.  Whatever comes is FINE.  Whatever comes does NOT require buffering.  Just a vibration -- nothing more.

Happy Hump Day -- make it a good one.  Later gators.
