Tired to the Bones

It's been quite a few years since I painted all day and I'm feeling it this morning.  There's one room that needs a second coat before Saturday.  I may or may not be needed to help, but it's tentatively on my calendar for Thursday.  Kids are packing and dealing with the car accident so time is crunched for them.  If they can get it done after work, I'll be off the hook for Thursday.

Hubby is safely in VA for the week and I get a beat today to QUIETLY work on my stuff.  Lots of little house chores, organization things and a slow morning routine.  I need a regroup day.

I'm working on re-entry days after "big" weeks (or trips).  In the past, I'd take a sofa slug day with comfort food and too much junk TV to "recover."  That ultimately trades one recover need for another and does no net good in the long run.  Working on a smarter way to transition out of BIG -- easy day, but still productive.  Relaxing in a way that doesn't take me to a lower place.

I have today planned and it feels good.  This sets me up for a good week and the hustle that will build back up for the weekend.  I'll have a quiet day AND still move forward with helping my future self this week.

Planting seeds for the fall garden.

Returning shoes that don't fit (Amazon).

Water time for the house plants.

Sheet day.

Finish Into the Drowning Deep. (It's really good)

Plan the week ahead (Monday Hour One per Brooke Castillo)

Clean off the dining room table with all the Depression glass.

Pick up Monti's meds from the vet.

Keeping this short and sweet this morning so I can get at it.  Happy Monday (!!)
