Self Care 1/16

[cam]

What did you do this past week? Did you get anything off the backburner?

Any plans for this week?

Challenge: Have some family fun time (or schedule it to happen soon).

I didn't get around to as much backburner stuff as I had hoped because I still can't shake this cold/cough/sinus crap, but I did do a few things. I even finally bent down to plug in my sewing machine, which is a big deal with this head crap going on. All of us slept in on Saturday. That's about it. I made plans though to do some stuff in the nearish future (i.e. hang out with my sister, etc).

Last week: I managed to exercise twice last week on the treadmill.

Diet has been okay. DH brought home a dozen of Krispy Kreme doughnuts from out of town on Saturday. Hopefully, doughnuts will be gone today because there are 3 left for each of us.

DS and I built a bug cage he got from the Cub Scout popcorn sales. It was a pita with the wood glue. I got the hot glue gun and glued it together. DS seems happy to put his marbles in there.

This week: I hope to exercise on the treadmill twice.

Diet will continue.

I want to read a book that I haven't started.

This week, we will start working on our pinewood derby car for Cub Scouts. I am going to have DS paint the car.

Last week: I got into the park twice for a nice walk. And I covered Klondike Derby which was almost as long a hike.

DH wasn't drinking around his eye surgery, so I abstained as well and lost a pound. I'm down just over 30 since the end of the summer.

I finally made an appointment for myself to see my endo guy. I am 5 months overdue.

I managed to have a lovely lunch with one mom-friend, but had to blow off another. I feel bad because the latter really needed an ear but I was distracted by my mother. Dad's been a handful lately and I've been scrambling to list and rent her place in FL. 2 weeks until she settles on the new house here. I hope they settle in better once they have more space.

Never did get to my slipcover or even my desk. Gah.

This week? I'll be ferrying DH to his second eye surgery and follow-up. I did some shopping for DS's internship- dress code is business casual. Nabbed some khakis at Old Navy on sale and a couple nice button-downs at Nordstrom Rack. He's still more fun to dress than DH.

I have invited my parents to dinner tomorrow. Not sure what fresh hell I've signed on for, but I am doing my good deed. Dementia is a lot like ASD in many ways.

Past Week: Did not get to the gym like I'd hoped. I went to the advocacy class and that was a break for the weekend. But I really did learn a lot from it. As for the backburner, I finally mailed a Christmas present.

This Week: My job start got delayed until the end of the month so I now have the week free. Now I don't have an excuse for skipping the gym. I'm sorting through all my papers for decluttering and hope to have at least half gone through by the end of the week.

Challenge: We're making a pizza together tonight. DS loves making pizzas on his i-pad so this'll be fun. I thought about scheduling some Mardi Gras plans with DS, but I just think it'd be overwhelming. I'm still debating it. I have a good bit scheduled out for February.
