I’m up way earlier today than yesterday. Sigh. I wanted to sleep the day away but I obviously I slept too much yesterday. Thus, I was up by 8:30 a.m. Gonna make for a long day.
Got caught up on my daily journaling. I’ve officially done the daily journal prompt for 4 full months. Honestly, I really like it and it does make me think deeper. I’ll be done with this book on 7/31. I’m really hoping this company will come out with another yearly prompt book by then. I like the paper and pen journaling more than I realized.
I’ve been super slacking on the planner I got from them though. I did great to begin with but lately I haven’t been as good. Basically, I just haven’t had the motivation to do my to-do list and then I avoid the whole damn planner. I need to quit writing down unrealistic expectations of myself as that’s when I shut down. Like obviously when I work 14+ hours in a day I am unlikely to scrub my entire kitchen too. Totally unrealistic.
I’ve been trying to clean today and these dogs are making me slightly crazy. Zak is here with his puppy. Milo is a fabulous dog but he’s a puppy. He’s mastered the dog door and appears fully house trained at least here. Mastering the dog door though means he’s mastered bringing all his fun newfound objects inside. Giant sticks he wants to shred while I clean a different room. Frozen dog shit. Literally. Toys he found in the yard that still have squeakers in them he can destroy and get stuffing everywhere. Also, with all the snow - the constant in and out of these dogs means my floor is covered in dirty paw prints. I’m currently running the robovacuum/mop after sweeping to see how much it gets up. I need to mop but there is zero point until Zak leaves. He was supposed to leave today but has decided he isn’t leaving until tomorrow. So who knows when I’ll have time to mop.
Tomorrow I work until 5 and then have shooting sign ups until 7:30. Then I’ll have to come home and deal with all the late sign up calls and paperwork. I’m dreading having to coach this year. I just hate losing 2 nights every week to practice. Plus the countless hours doing the paperwork, developing rosters, figuring out averages. It’s just a lot. I know I don’t have a lot going on. It’ll be good for me. But I kind of like sitting here for hours with nothing to do but overthink.
Tuesday I have lashes at 5 which takes a few hours. Wednesday and Thursday night I work both jobs. Friday… Friday I’ll have time to mop but by then I’ll have to reclean the floors to even be ready to mop. And I still need to go to bed at a decent time as I work 5:30 Saturday morning. Then Sunday I have to head out of town to hopefully see Nick, and then work my day job 5 1/2 hours away for Monday/Tuesday. I’ll be back just in time to repeat it all next week. Yay. Hopefully the roads are at least good. They’ve been awful this week with rain, snow and now temps in the negatives.
Nick finally called earlier today. One girl was at his mom’s and the other was at basketball practice. So he had a minute to himself. It was nice and reassuring to talk to him. He’s just been busy doing basically whatever the kids want to do and helping his parents with life. He definitely stays busy but I still believe he could find a way to call every day if only for a minute.
My period is totally trying to start like far too early. At least that explains the huge bloating misery and feeling so fat. I don’t understand at all. I should have another week. Ugh. I have zero doubts it’s just another sign menopause is coming sooner than later. Probably why I’m not losing shit for weight too. I know where my hormone numbers were while we were doing IVF and it’s really simply amazing I haven’t hit full blown menopause already as my numbers were soooooooo low then & dropping quickly. I’ll be thrilled when it’s just completely over. I’m good with that at this point in life.
I still need to go to the store today but I really don’t want to. At all. Yet I’m starving and I do want healthy food options for later. I decided I’ll smoke a London Broil to have meat for a couple days. Maybe grab some chicken for buffalo chicken salads. That should be sufficient to get through the week.
That’s about my entire Sunday in a nutshell. Now I guess I should get ready to go to the store. I hate going but it isn’t going to happen by itself.
