Task Mode in Full Swing

I think I'm going to let this week be a task-mode week and not try to balance with fun or enjoyment each day. I have a whole week of vacation ahead and what will feel best this week is to get all the crap off my to-do list. 

It's a gigantuous list, if I do say so.

Today will actually have a bit of fun before task-master begins. Taking my youngest to the jeweler for the engagement ring reset -- very excited. 

Then it's off to the races with chores. I'll play beat-the-list and hopefully win. I have each day's tasks listed and I'll try to get a little ahead each day. It's a little trick to help with anxiety. Trip anxiety will be in full swing by Friday. Fun times. 

My back is better, but not fully better which makes me shy to workout. I don't want to set it off again. This is such a wrench in my plans. 

But to twist to a nicer outlook ... once I finish this week, I'll feel a little more prepared. I have 3 big things left.

Arizona trip

Christmas

Baby Shower

Then life (for me) settles down to a manageable level. I don't want to "just get through" these things, but I don't think I can pollyanna my way to sunshine and rainbows. There is a lot of work involved in each thing and that translates to anxiety for me. 

I'll work on it as much as I can, but this is just practice rounds. I'm not going to ace anything. Little steps to get closer to calm and go-with-the-flow. Little steps to enjoy my FULL LIFE.

Maybe the little step is to find a small piece of fun in each day after all -- even in task mode. I'll mull that over and see what I can figure out.

Hope you're set for a good week. Later gators.
